RE: Surprise! You're a capitalist! (former Bernie Sanders suppoter)
Ah man don't dont bring Bernie into this cause this kid doesn't know enough about political theory. I bet we could trip this host up if we ambushed him with pre thought out trap questions.
Trip me up? Trap questions? Interesting...
It's ridiculous to think that you can't be tripped up when faced with questioning by someone who has a) spent significant time studying it and b) are familiar with the points of weakness of others points of view within said field. The point is if a physicist came up and asked you questions about computing the theory of relativity and then makes a video of how uninformed you are because you can't would be disingenuous wouldn't it? Which is essential what this is, that kid is a random on the street and you expect them to be well versed in the nuances of political theory.
I think it is fair though, since most voters think they know enough to decide who should be president, rather than showing some humility and not supporting any specific candidates or political/economic theory.
I mean if Adam took a strong stance in some theory in physics then it would be right for him to be tripped up by someone who knows more about it, maybe he would learn from the experience, maybe an audience on the internet could learn from the experience.
That is kind of the whole problem in a nutshell in regard to statist, is they lack any kind of humility, and show a lot of hubris. They think government can beat the market in terms of performance in all metrics, they strongly believe in centralized planning, if only they can get the right person in office and they some how know who that person is.
Haha! Go! My money is on Adam. It is not easy to "ambush" a truther.
