RE: Emotions Often Win Over Reason, Feeling-Good Can Matter More than Facts
If something made me get off the shitty "feels" over logic bandwagon was having to live here in Venezuela.
I was born in 95' and the socialist party came into power in 98', you could safely say that all my conscious life has been under the socialist/communism regime.
I grew up watching the economy of this country fall into pieces because of the forced wealth redistribution, that yes, gave the poor a better life, for a while, while there where resources to steal and pillage, everything was fine and excellent...
All of this was done to make voters feel good i.e giving free stuff to the people to buy votes.
Now the country is worthless than a trash can and everyone's leaving, including me in the next few months...
I lost the train of thought of where I wanted to go with this comment and ended up rambling, the core of what I wanted to say is that this whole life experience made me apply myself and i value logic over feels any day of the week and that this experience made me anti socialist/communist and every time i see left leaning politicians of other countries forcing their pc crap and trying to imitate this shithole, I just vomit and pray that they lose... I'm pretty sad for my friends that escaped this socialist hell and went to Mexico just to end up on the same crap...
That's why some clueless Americans love Bernie Sanders... free everything! wo0ho00... :/
