Why are most insurance agents politically conservative?

[TheMedicareWizard]

The claim I quoted, which I interpreted as "Most young people are focused on navigating the current economy, rather than being indoctrinated with communism, and the left still operates within a capitalist system."

Let's examine your questions since you decided to pose them


If someone decides not to participate in the capitalist system, they would need to find alternative ways to meet their basic needs, such as growing their own food, building their own shelter, and providing their own healthcare. It sounds like it would be a very challenging and time-consuming task, and it would not be possible for many people. Additionally, even in alternative systems, such as anarchism, communism, or socialism, individuals would still be required to contribute to some extent in order to sustain the community or society. Is there a real alternative to that in any system that's any better?




Again, what's the alternative? I assume you think there is an alternative to these tenets. Perhaps the utopian communist society that was written about by Marx. He believed communism could be a stateless society where the means of production and distribution are collectively owned and managed by the community. In this sense, there would be no government in the traditional sense of the word, as no central authority controls or directs society. Now.. show me one communist country where that has played out?

Several countries have attempted to establish socialist or communist systems, such as the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and Vietnam, among others. However, these countries typically have centralized governments controlling the economy and political system. In these systems, property has often been owned by the state rather than the community as a whole, and individual freedoms have been limited to achieve collective goals.

These countries have faced challenges and criticisms, including human rights abuses, lack of political freedom, and economic inefficiency. Despite this, young people in our country are indoctrinated by a false hope that these other systems are somehow better.

Did you get this from ChatGPT? You guys seem to think I'm a communist.

Saying young people are indoctrinated by false hope is pretty bleak. It's telling them "hey, you guys better suck it up and accept the status quo without question." It's telling them they may as well give up trying to improve society for the betterment of mankind.

It is possible to push for progress while accepting that utopia is idealism. Use your imagination.

When did I ever accuse you of being a communist? Your ambiguous blanket statements make it impossible to figure out where you stand.

What false hope are you referring to?

Please explain what you mean by these last 2 statements without using rhetorical questions or obscure statements

So you don't walk ON water?

Well, not very well. My friend Peter and I are always needing an extra hand up.

Look at the chart of all the insurance companies on page one of this discussion.

I see, said the blind man as he picked up his saw.

Dude, stop. It's not a stretch. At all. There isn't a "the left." There's the democrats, who are now completely unviable without pandering to their communist wing.

Do you know what Critical Pedagogy is? Look into it. It has become the educational standard in the US. It was devised by a communist (Paulo Freire) for the expressed purpose of using education as a means to make people communist revolutionaries. The guy is one of the most-cited scholars in ANY field. I know what I'm talking about and you're wrong. You just are.



Again, you're wrong. I'm talking about education in the US. Kids are taught that the neo-communist view is THE correct one and people only disagree because they're brainwashed (by what the communists formally call our "superstructure", a state they call "false consciousness") or protecting their "privilege."



Your governor is doing exactly what the people who elected him want him to do. That you're talking about "neo-Nazis" over a guy who's banning graphic porn books in schools, pushing the death penalty for child rapists, reinforcing private women's spaces (which everyone in the world agreed with forever until 10 minutes ago)...it's crazy. The dude isn't perfect, but come on.

They say that you shouldn't believe everything you read/see on the internet. Man, you should hear what they say about Fox News!

You make a good point; I grew up in a very liberal community. I have asked many liberals what their main gripes are with conservatives, and what is almost always at the top of the list is "Lack of empathy." Maybe what they really mean is "The ability to see reality and speak the truth.", however difficult the truth may be to hear at times..



No problem.. Definition of Most: "The majority of"
Used in a sentence: "Most of the insurance agents in the world are conservative."

This is a great point. From my observation, the vast majority of liberals just exist in a fantasy bubble. These are just folks that absolutely do not deal well with reality. And when you inject simple facts, logic, and reality, they go absolutely insane. I'm not saying they're all horrible people (although some of them definitely are….the far left extremists) this is just how it is. It's reality.

Term life insurance is the most liberal financial product available in the USA. Its basically efficient wealth distribution. You are taking money away from people democratically and distributing it back when and whom its needed the most. You can also tax people and distribute the money but taxing peoples income or wealth is not that easy and distributing is also as we can see not that efficient. Term life insurance is very good, small amount of premiums and funds are released only when truly needed. In many social assistance programs, its not that republicans are totally against social assistance, they dont trust its really needed or the system is fair. I live in Cambridge MA and its likely the most liberal city in USA and this is how I position term life insurance. This line would probably not work in Alabama.
