They had me until they dissed on Newt's moon base plan, which was the only thing any republican said in 2012 that was better than Obama's policies.

English Translation:
To the candidate who is Barack Obama
I sing this corrido with all my soul
He was born humble without pretension
He began in the streets of Chicago
Working to achieve a vision
To protect the working people
And bring us all together in this great nation
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
Families united and safe and even with a health care plan
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
A candidate fighting for our nation
It doesn't matter if you're from San Antonio
It doesn't matter if you're from Corpus Christi
From Dallas, from the Valley, from Houston or from El Paso
What matters is that we vote for Obama
Because his struggle is also our struggle, and today we urgently need a change
Let's unite with our great friend
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
Families united and safe and even with a health care plan
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
A candidate fighting for our nation

Obama got all kinds of pop-culture attention in 2008. There's probably some gold there, maybe even some that's actually good.

I'm gonna vote republican just to see Hillary crushed in the dust. Because it's better to lose now due to ideology than it's to keep the party alive and getting more capitalist over the following years.


And frankly Hillary is the ultimate candidate who is progressive only in the policy areas that are completely irrelevant, and is a complete puppet of the capitalist interests in key issues.

Rand hates references but he does have a coherent campaign plan that works, as I predicted about three months ago. Not trying to toot my horn or anything. And yeah he is a long shot for the actual presidency but yeah it does all check out & everything.

From what I can tell, the thesis seems to be that patriarchal gender roles are hosed up, and it's good that we are getting away from them, but at the same time it's really difficult to figure out what the hell to do without them, which leads to confusion and disharmony. Also, I think the stuff about rape fantasies is less something that he's, like, advocating, and more pointing to as evidence of a problem with social mores.

It's definitely super weirdly written and hippy-ish.

Yeah, that's more or less what I could make of it as well. Unfortunately it's also a case study for the lovely prose that passed as serious sociology in the 70s. But as poor as the writing is, he's making some valid observations that are still true over 40 years later - both abuse porn and Fifty Shades of Grey-esque fiction are multi billion dollar industries. A good case can be made that they're born out of the frustrations of having to come to terms with redefining gender roles. I don't think he's saying everyone has these fantasies, but when people do, they're often part of the fallout of the sexual revolution - and unless we want to alienate people we love, we need to talk to them instead of keeping stuff bottled up inside until it gets weird and deviant to the point where communication becomes impossible.

I'll take the bait.

I was born early 1973. I'm not saying my age makes me wiser than younger people, but he wrote that poo poo in 1972. I think he has probably grown and matured a lot since that time.
He also hasn't had a consistent message that reinforces or supports that writing. When he says it was satire, I believe him. Is that because I'm politically motivated since I like him? Possibly, but he hasn't been putting that message out there again and again to raise money or entice people to his cause. That isn't his message, it was a loving stupid article that he should be ashamed of.

I mean loving christ, if we find out he had a newsletter that contained an unending stream of woman shaming, maybe we can have a conversation about Bernie being a douche bag.
