Not a fan of Vivek Ramaswamy tweet

Vivek Ramaswamy's Tweet

TRUTH.

1. God is real.

2. There are two genders.

3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.

4. Reverse racism is racism.

5. An open border is no border.

6. Parents determine the education of their children.

7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.

8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.

9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.

10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

I couldn’t agree:

1. God is an assumption and one of many spiritual traditions. There are non-theistic religions and non religious people. God is real psychologically in those traditions that have it, but it varies and the statement is false and vague. USA claims to be a Christian nation, but any ideology can be twisted to support any agenda, so you know. Cater to populist bird whistles of Christo-fascism is what he's doing. Ramaswamy went to Hindu temple, so if he follows his family religion he's polytheistic. Gods. He's just courting people with something he doesn't even believe? His Wikipedia page conveniently doesn't discuss religion until bam, he's a monotheistic Hindu. How convenient. 

2. So what if you have female genitals and a male brain or male genitals and female brain? Gender Queer is real and exists. It's at least beyond male and female, containing yourself to two genders is odd. What about children with ambiguous genitals?

3. Fossil fuels will spell our doom, wake up. Resisting trends and directions we need to go in is backwards. Popular backwardism.

4. Reverse racism isn't as bad because those in power have resources to cope with racism, and everyone is racist, so we must fight it, and be a just society, and not focus on the problems of the powerful only. 

5. Border obsession and policy can be managed rationally. There is a refugee crisis. It's a compassion crisis. I'm not seeing any answers in obsession with the border. Razor blades to cut children isn't exactly what God is calling you to do. 

6. Parents, society, and media determine education of your child. Good luck isolating your children. Parents are the lead, they have rights. But your weird hangups shouldn't determine what everyone can be exposed to. Houston getting rid of all their libraries is really not good. 

7. Nuclear families are an abomination for some people, and worshiping an imperfect form is weird. Extended family and the village are important. It caters to far right wing nutjobs who feel embattled, and try to work their weird agendas on their families. You want to support families, raise the minimum wage, get quality education and address child care. America is the least invested in their children. Wake up.

8. Capitalism and government programs like head start, schools, libraries, roads, garbage removal are all important. Excesses of capitalism, like taxing the rich, is a necessary social adjustment. 

9. If you can't see how media is the 4th estate of government, I can't help you. You are tweeting on a platform taken over by a right wing wingnut, who has destroyed it. 

10. Obsession with the constitution is weird, it's a document of rich white slave holders. We can think for ourselves, and couching your wakodo philosophies in misreading the constitution isn't the basis of anything, it's right wing dog whistle. Even so there are many amazing things in it, but it should be amended, and I'd start with gun control.

He's another far right wing populist asshole. Move to Hungary if you want to be a Christo-fascist. 

Catholic is too cutting edge for America, though Trump was a fairly obvious nihilistic criminal and the evangelicals like him, so Catholic for Kennedy and Biden as a strike against them is probably more because they're left of center, though from my perspective fairly centrist. Ramaswamy seems like a fairly intelligent right wing person, and you know if you're left, you're prefer bozos on the right, because they such bumblers. Smart right wing people feels more dangerous. And less populous. I'm still banking on Doug Burgum. North Dakota, the center of the universe.
