A good rant, lost

I was going to express with general disgust with our current politic situation, it's just not working out...it's all disjointed and annoying.

I have one line of thought on the fact that it's human nature to want to help other people and organize into social groups...so the whole idea that socialism is somehow unnatural seems silly.

There is a happy medium of government, the person who wants to end government is just as wrong as the person who wants government to do everything...since communism and anarchism both seem to relay on the argument that people are flawed, not the system i.e. communism fails because of greed and anarchism fails because people by their nature band together and socialize.

The Angry White Man trope is annoying...it sounds like a convenient excuse to not take responsibility rather than any serious argument. See also: Conspiracy Theory Guy who believes The Man did it, not his bad decisions.

Part of life is winners and losers...but it doesn't mean everybody has to fail i.e. as the education level increases, shouldn't the median move to the right? Why is it a given 20% of any class have to fail just to fit some bell curve? Isn't that arbitrary?
