Are you a socialist or a capitalist? And can you explain why?

'Just because 'salad' is in the name,
doesn't mean fruit salad, potatoe salad and caesar salad are the same thing.'

Capitalism means companies own everything. Right?

Socialism means the government owns everything. Right?

It's not that simple.

This clip tries to explain socialism:



This clip tries to explain capitalims:



What confuses me are people who want cheap healthcare for all call themselves 'capitalists' but politicians who want cheap healthcare for all 'socialists'. They say everybody should have the same rights and opportunities but oppose politicians who say they want the same rights and opportunities for everyone.

So, are you in in favour of equal rights and opportunities? If yes, does that make you a socialist? If not, please explain why you don't want the same rights and opportunities as everybody else.

Fox Entertainment

People still refer to the Fox Entertainment channel as a source of 'news' but there's a reason they are called 'entertainment' channel. In that case you are allowed to exaggerate and even lie because that's 'funny' and if you don't like to be insulted 'you have no sense of humour'. Fox viewers often think that freedom of speech is the same as lying to and insulting people. Except when they themselves are lied to or insulted of course.

But what if Fox treated Trump the way they treated Obama?

Why do Fox viewers find it a problem when a president goes on a golftrip but don't find it a problem when a president goes on a golftrip?

The River Gulu

Recently an explorer made a great discovery. A thus far unknown river! He named it 'River Gulu'. Although the natives have been calling it by a different name for centuries the explorer claims he is the one who made the discovery. Sounds absurd because the explorer is from Nigeria and the river he discovered is known as the River Thames?

But why is it considered normal for rivers and mountains to be 'discovered' in Africa by European explorers although the locals have known that river or mountain for centuries?
