       So much good stuff but he mentioned how someone had called "antisemitism the socialism of fools". That's genius.So often when I'm talking to conservatives, they refuse to accept that some problem is just due to rich people doing what they can to make more money. There's no secret conspiracy involved. It's just the natural result of unregulated capitalism. They are serving their own interests. They just have different interests and more power than the rest of us.https://pca.st/episode/4ec2c83a-ed14-42af-903d-a71fab96acaa

       @wjmaggos But there's the famous Adam Smith quote about "People of the same trade..."  Conservatives are right in general to laud capitalism, but they shouldn't be naive about capitalists.As for the line about antisemitism being the socialism of fools, I think that reveals something important about socialism: often it's driven more by resentment and envy than a genuine desire to help the worse off.
