errRR for the exact same reasons as the alt-right guys

1) the more time you spend arguing about politics on the internet, blogging, etc the less time you have to do things like socialize and exercise

2) radical politics of any sort appeal to people who feel alienated from the current system; our culture is incredibly image-conscious and superficial so radpol appeals to ugly people

It's a strategy to defer a lot of ideas that would help the poor and disenfranchised. It seems to echo the strategy I saw the GOP use to deny people healthcare, push a jobs bill through or to fund education

The GOP uses "How are you going to pay for it?", "BIG GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS!!"

Liberals use "How does this solve racism?", "How does this help black people?"

The truth is there's no political policy that can solve racism. To think that there will be some magic law or resolution to make some guy flying the stars and bars suddenly go "I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE. GIVE ME A HUG" is idiotic. It also doesn't focus on the system, but rather focus on individuals in a tribal aspect.

But I can guarantee you that minorities, along with pretty much everybody in the goddamn country would benefit from increased economic opportunities, access to education, ending the war on drugs, healthcare and an improved infrastructure. (Not to mention reform to the :911: justice system from the top down), I

But it winds up being tabled by those two groups as a result and everyone winds up with absolutely "dick" as a result. Oh well..I mean except Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Banks,, Big Pharma, Insurance Companies, Rich assholes and the Millitary Industrial Complex.

But these assholes get the satisfaction of being useful idiots for the political, business and media class in this country.

Eh, it was mainly because she acted she had been involved in Cup and had experienced Martinsville for the longest time. Her background was mainly in road racing so I found that to be bullshit.

She wasn't bad when she was in the IRL FWIW. But she's making the bucks in Cup, so whatever.

If you legit wanna talk auto racing with me, go look up the IndyCar thread.

Serious questions, have you seen someone get shot? Or been woken up at night by someone firing a weapon, say, in the alley outside your apartment? What is your experience with guns and gunplay occurring the streets of your neighborhood?

Serious answers, I'm a gun guy who used to live in a poorer neighborhood, so yes to all of the above (except for the watching someone get shot one, I only saw the aftermath of that one). Arming minorities is a good thing.

It's honestly pretty loving weird that you compare what the ~thugs~ are doing in "streets of my neighborhood" to an explicitly political Black Panthers demonstration.

I watched a kid get shot in the street when I was 15, you loving creep. Every example I used there was based on events that has happened in my life growing up in a south Chicago suburb on the way down, then living in lovely neighborhoods in Chicago when I was in my twenties; not Chiraq, regular lovely neighborhoods.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. nice, i saw that. the reason is because his critiques loving suck and he appeals to no one. he is way too genuinly left wing for the woke neoliberal types, but he is way too puritanical jack thompson type for the lefties. plus once he got fired/left, femfreq actually got good, because he has been writing most of their stuff and shadow writting their twitter and most of the dumb poo poo they have ever said came from him. feminists and wokes would rather listen to a women/racial/sexual/gender minority saying stuff then then some ex evangelical with poo poo beard who gets mad about video game violence and boobs like its 1999. the fact that he shouldn't have to work because people NEED to hear his lovely opinions on loving witcher or persona or him crying about royalty existing in final fantasy 15 is loving great. i guess the money has gotten dire enough that he actually has to define his beliefs.

yeah, pretty much. that shits never going to last. most sanish libertarians realize the alt right is loving nuts and trump is smooth brain idiot and its slowly dawning on some of the alt right that "daddy" doesnt give two fucks about them. its gonna collapse because the only common foundation is "lol liberals/lefties are cunts and evil." and mutual hatred doesnt make great long term partnerships.

They just keep wanting to give the finger to the states that lost them the election. It's so surreal to watch. What I don't think they understand is that it wasn't even so much people in those states voting FOR Trump, but rather a mix of people voting against Neoliberalism, not voting for Hillary, or not voting at all because of a shere disgust towards their party's nominee.

You tried raising a conversation from the dead that I bowed out of because I couldn't keep taking part without taking it personally, because of personal experiences, then when it didn't work you editied in a baiting comment inferring I'm racist. And now you're trying to diminish my life experiences and jumping to the conclusion that I am trying to take your guns away because I think armed actions are counterproductive to building a sustainable narrative that will appeal to anyone but a klatch of likeminded ideologues.

I completely understand if someone who's black, lgbt, or something of that note has objections to the rural white, working class. I can't blame them for them that.

But I seem to notice a lot of white moderates who seem to pretend to care about racism, while living in millionaire dollar homes far, far, far away from the struggles of the middle and working class. They don't live in black neighborhoods, places like Flint, or places like Northeast Ohio who have been hard hit by tough economic times.

They have no interest in sweeping economic justice and justice reform in general. For them? They don't have to worry about a lot of the problems that the rest of the country has to worry about.

They really are frauds.

It's like he wants to say that men should embrace femininity but he knows how that would sound and so he is playing semantic games to have his cake and eat it too.

There are a lot of ways to define a new masculinity. But it's hard within a "woke/sjw" framework because the definition needs to have some explicitly positive, assertive qualities to it to be meaningful but they find it hard to accept defining something as masculine doesn't mean defining the feminine as the opposite.

For instance, the suggestion that a man should be strong and brave can be interpreted as a suggestion that the feminine is weak and cowardly. Obviously, life is much more grey area than all of that and any good future definition of masculinity will be self-defining and not reliant on measuring itself against women in that kind of way. But, that can be hard to explain sometimes when the older attitudes are a long way from being stamped out.
