2020 Pinkbike Awards: Innovation of the Year
@ptrcarson:
Socialism = govt. control of the economy.
Indirect control via regulation, "crony" capitalism, corporatism = fascism
Direct control via govt ownership of industry, business = communism
IOW a lot of people mistake fascism for capitalism/free enterprise. It's not.
And before it hit the fan, nobody thought Germany and Italy helping inspire FDR's New Deal was a big deal.
Hitler and Mussolini were economic heroes. Diff story afterwards.
cheers

Interview: Wesley Ferguson on Mountain Biking as a Black Man
@teddancin: Stop changing the focus: "the majority of wealth in western society, that I as a white man live on, was built on the backs of Black bodies."
Right.
You might as well tell us the majority of mtbers are jerks.
OK some are, but the majority?
IOW rein in the liberal progressive white guilt, please.
The West is far from perfect, but it isn't and never was as bad as the usual suspects keep telling us it is.

Sorry, PB, The "note on the comments section" might say more than you want it to.
If you really value freedom of speech in society, it isn't equivalent to being PC.
Not hatin', jus sayin'.
Those who can read between the lines, will just move on.
cheers/happy trails.

Interview: Wesley Ferguson on Mountain Biking as a Black Man
"The big question is, would there be more black riders if the trails in the south east didn’t suck so much"
Hey, that's enough trailcism out of you, pal.

Interview: Wesley Ferguson on Mountain Biking as a Black Man
@teddancin: No it's not. If it is, you need to prove it instead of giving us the standard narrative. (This just in: The NYT 1619 Project went down in flames.)
As far as the kidnapping goes, blacks were sold into western slavery by other blacks. IOW until the 20th century and modern medicine, whites didn't last too long in tropical Africa running around kidnapping people.
FTM the West abolished slavery, yet it still continues to this day in African, Arab and Asian countries.
Not only that, we got more Africans immigrating to America/the West than ever before. Why is that?
Because we're racist? Or they have more economic opportunity here than back home?
This is a mtb site. Let's stick to mtb instead of indulging in the latest progressive sociological fairy tales.
cheers
