Give him On Kapital for his birthday.

He does have one of those Pyramid of Capitalism posters. Then again he also owns a Nazi uniform and used to do World War II reenactments where he'd fight the Soviets.

GalacticAcid posted:

Show him some fishmech posts proving that TPP owns

I tried to talk him out of it and opposition to TPP was the only coherent reason he gave. The rest was just blathering on about how Hillary was owned by the Saudis or something.

Slap your uncle while singing the Internationale and disown whichever branch of your family that is.

He's from the gringo side of the family, most of which voted for Trump, but he wasn't anybody's first choice.

CortezFantastic posted:

I would say a Bernie supporter who goes to Trump because then he'd have to vote for a woman is pretty fluid in their beliefs, and not worth spending time on.

He doesn't hate women in general, and he's in favor of marriage equality, black lives mattering, etc. He just has an irrational hatred of Hillary Clinton that made him believe Trump was the lesser evil. He doesn't like actually like Trump and it's not like he posts pro-Trump stuff on Facebook or telling other people to vote for Trump, he just really hates Hillary Clinton. He said he would vote third party but didn't because it would be a wasted vote.

But that would make him evangelical?

My other cousin, his younger brother, is a Baptist minister. Their parents and his youngest brother converted from Catholicism, but the oldest brother, the one I was talking about in my initial post, didn't go along with them.

whatever reason people give you for voting for Trump, realize that given even a cursory reading of Trump's personal history and biography, any reasonable person will have come to the conclusion that he is a con artist, regardless of what his politics are. so your friend is a drooling moronic fuckwit. too dumb to draw breath or simply so ignorant of the landscape that he should never have voted to start.

He's really not though, he doesn't do the Nazi reenactment poo poo anymore, and when he did he still talked to the Soviet guys, it was just a dumb hobby for him. He's more like this: I Was a Teenage Nazi Wannabe (written by Chapo guest Jacob Bacharach)

Besides, it's not like I can avoid seeing him at family gatherings or Falangist cosplay meetups.

that guy's rant is hilarious and a perfect example of someone being right that the election was absolutely lost by Clinton rather than won by Trump, but being so obsessed with leftist self-blame that he doesn't actually say anything.

Here comes some unsolicited but good advice.

Guests I'd like to see in case any of the nerds in charge still read this thread -

Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) - of The Intercept, formerly of Valleywag, left-liberal views, is good at tweeting, loves online, hates Silicon Valley, is almost certainly a goon.

Natasha Vargas-Cooper (@natashaVC) - LA-based writer, formerly of Jezebel, former labor organizer and policy analyst for a union, has crass and funny tweets although her account is now locked.

Remeike Forbes (@Remeike) - Creative director at Jacobin. Esp since Trump's poo poo rear end graphic design seems to have been such a success, would like to hear Forbes talk about Jacobin's crisp look.

Then idk, maybe somebody from the IWW who was involved with the prison strike in September.

Little late to this subject but I follow Chapo and the Trap Guys because they're funny. Their politics are good, they are kinda vague about how far left they go but imo it's secondary to being funny. It's also really amusing to see a lot of the people on twitter that chum around with them (sometimes guests on the show!) get clowned on because they can't stop punching left.

Thats the one. That wasn't scahill's intent? Sure read like that to me.

Scahill is saying he's sending Greenwald a DM asking if he got Pootie's latest orders, implying that Scahill himself already received them.

In effect he is outing himself as a Russian spy and he should be executed for treason immediately. no trial.

scahill is one of the OG editors from the intercept along with greenwald and i'm pretty sure the intercept is the one publication to least likely have an editorial difference
