          This is completely apolitical (as far as I am concerned anyway), but I read this last night and chuckled…

          Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man.  Communism is the other way around......

                        While we are on the subject of falsely attributed quotes, this is my favourite. I came across it in my studies recently and I find it both clever and accurate.

                        "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice they are not".

                        “Some of those that work forces
                        Are the same that burn crosses”

                            I as well. I totally imagined her saying it. It even shows up on a number of quoting sites, as hers.

                            Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                                Bukowski independently discovered something like Dunning-Kruger.

                                Those lacking intellectual intelligence also often seem to lack emotional intelligence and empathy, which is even more damaging when you have to share a planet with them.

                                Think it, be it.
