Three Questions that will destroy any argument with the Left | Thomas Sowell

It’s always good to hear from both sides, I believe the best points for the people are in the middle between both. Too far left and you have communism and too far right you get fascism or authoritarianism.

What are the 3 questions?

What an eloquent genius

So the questions to destory socialism are just capitalist economic assessment questions? Lol no wonder US is failing and has fascists now... No moral or ethical governance structure, just one big piggy bank pyramid scheme for the oligarchy.

The best part with debating leftists is that as a libertarian I can convey all my points and beliefs across with being consistent with my beliefs and morals all the time.
Unlike them.

The black leftist agenda peeps won't support a black person who is against those leftist policies .

They've stamped out segregation so hard they brought it full on back with DEI

Compared to what? At what cost? Do you have hard evidence?

4th question: Can you give me a real example?
5th question: Why didn't you start with yourself?

Left: Hand out fish to men.

Right: Teach a man to fish.

A great example of how helping the disadvantage doesn't help them not be disadvantaged is my family. I grew up on systems like food stamps and medicaid and admittedly would be dead without them, so needless to say I do appreciate them. However, at no point did that help us become able to support ourselves. How could it? Food stamps don't make better job opportunities appear. Medicaid doesn't make housing more affordable. It did nothing to improve our position for the 18 years I lived with its aid, absolutely nothing.
Now, for completely unrelated reasons, my family has a good bit more income then we did and what happened then is that we lost food stamps and medicaid and then could no longer afford to live again, so my mom literally had to take a pay cut so she could get government support back because theres no way for us to make it without government aid either.
People love to point at laziness as the reason why people stay on welfare programs, but welfare programs don't help anyone get off of them and you can be perfectly willing to work and work hard and still have to hover in that sweet spot of making enough to make it and being piir enough the government will help. Its ridiculous, and while i do appreciate it because thats the only reason i got to eat as a kid, I don't blame anyone for not really wanting their taxpayer dollars to go to this massive money sinkhole that doesn't actually help.

We should be more deeply concerned with the fact that a family can have two working adults and still not make enough to live without government aid. That is the issue at hand.

The Left are children, being given the running of the household, spending all of the income on toys and candy.

Oh... I get it, just stop being poor. Wow, why didn't I think of that. So give me your money, then, thank you, that will stop me from being poor. 🤣

Thomas Sowell!!!!

Liberal democrats believe in free speech right up until the moment that you disagree with one. If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one, but if a Democrat doesn't like guns, then they want all guns outlawed. If a Republican is a vegetarian, then they don't eat meat. When a Democrat is a vegetarian, they want all meat products banned for everyone. If a Republican is homosexual, they quietly lead their life. If a Democrat is a homosexual, they demand legislative respect. If a Republican is down and out, they think about how they can better their situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of them. If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, they change the channel. Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down and canceled. If a Republican is an atheist, they didn't go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any and all mention of God and religion silenced and removed. If a Republican decides that they need health care, then they go about shopping for it or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for theirs. Are ya'll starting to get the picture here?

The third question is flawed IMO in an argument with the "actual"™ left (as if, not what is usually called left in USA).
From the creation of distinction between the left and the right (The Great French Revolution), the left was the force of progress, of change. Their goal was to find something new, something that could be more just, more fair, that kind of stuff.
When you are trying to create something new, you, quite literally, cannot have any kind of hard proof until you try to realize it, it's just like in science.
Conservators on the other hand, reject progress, and aim to conserve the current order of things. Of course they would have proof of their systems, they've already been there for considerable time..

Bullseye. Bingo. Nailed it.

Learned from Rush Limbaugh 30 years ago... Ask 'How do you know when you've solved .......... (insert problem they think govt can cure)'

Well that’s just a bunch of loaded bullshit. Is he dancing or trying to make a point?

Genius!

Don't waste your time talking the ID10TS. THEY WILL NOT GET TRUTH!

"X isn't happening"
"Would you support it if it was?"

Thomas Sowel is kryptonite to the Dem hustle.

You can't reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into

If one ceases to be marginalized or poor, they cease to deserve the left's compassion. Thats why they are so committed to creating more marginalized people and more people, so they can keep feigning compassion.

What an intelligent man!

The purpose of helping them when they are poor is to give them the support they need to get some food, get a shower, get some clothes, and get a job. As a "liberal", I can say that these guys have it wrong. It's just not an accurate perspective. I guess it shouldn't be surprising since 90% of conservative talking points are objectively false.

4th question is "what is a woman?"

1. Compared to what? Most developed western nations.
2. At what cost? Probably less than we're spending now and certainly less than all these F-35s.
3. What evidence do you have? Literally a crap ton of studies across decades that say this way is better.

Hmm. I guess they weren't destroyed after all. Facts and data aren't the tools of the right and its wild to hear someone suggests so in 2025. 🙄

lol what garbage, typical rightist always telling lies.

Do not cast pearls (wisdom and truth) among swine for they will trample them underfoot.

The left’s ideology is simple - it’s all based on being able to decide whatever you want to do, have, think, or say without any natural or logical consequences to follow. The universe was designed in a way that has cause and effect and the liberal left is continuously at odds with trying to circumvent this. They want the pleasure without pain, lies without truth, action without reaction, success without sacrifice, and the product without the price.

They think any cost is reasonable. I have a couple friends on the left that truly believe, while also saying we need to "preserve" the nonexistent democracy, that the Trump assassination attempts should have succeeded. They are wildly hypocritical.

Shut up, you have no clue

I refer to these 3 questions daily!

Just say "what is a woman?" 😂😂😂

Brilliant mind!

My aunt said America was Isolationist. I asked her "Compared to what?". She went ballistic...😆

Thomas Sowells thinking needs to be taught in every school.

You can give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach the man how to fish he will never starve.

1: doing nothing

2: Poverty is more costly

Please end this right left narrative. Reality is much more differentiated ànd unique at the same time. Every parent knows this. 🎗️All Home Too Worldwide🎗️

Just dont ask the right to explain religion using facts and logic. They choose feelings over facts every time. They are as looney as the left.

1. Compared to what
2. At what costs
3. What proofs

Mweh…….a real smart person would realize that neither side is all right or all wrong and the best philosophy is somewhere in the middle.

I have yet to meet or hear of a staunch Liberal or Conservative that I would consider smart.

They all fall into the trap of thinking their own bullshit doesn’t stink.

Even if you asked them all these questions, I doubt they'd ever be able to give any answers.
Because they never think that far.

I have learned from experience that using logic does not end any argument with a leftist. Their ability to deny reality at all costs is truly impressive.
