Brainiac Five posted:I mean, you're sneering about LGBT people, people of color, etc. having any kind of power within the capitalist system Not what's happening. Brainiac Five posted:I hope to God I am never looked on in approval by someone who can look at rudatron's posts and conclude that he's simply a single bad apple rather than a symptom of a leftism that easily dismisses the concerns of minorities as "identity politics". I pray daily that I can be strong enough to avoid the urge, the temptation, to justify evildoers because they happen to agree with me on something. I am sorrowed by your degradation to the point where you apparently think Majorian/Kommisar Staev deserves anything other than a kick in the balls. Please stop talking about my balls.

Brainiac Five posted:I mean, you're sneering about LGBT people, people of color, etc. having any kind of power within the capitalist system, so you're either demanding that we remain powerless in order to be moral, or you've never thought about the slogans and catchphrases you puke out on command. I think assuming you're stupid in the first way is much kinder than assuming you're stupid in the second way, what about you? "How dare you not feel solidarity with the rich tokens of your community in the capitalist class?" You're free to be in solidarity with Peter Thiel if you want.

So what did you think I was saying because what I thought I was saying was that rejecting any power within the capitalist system is just clinical depression rather than politics, but you seem to be thinking I'm saying Peter Thiel is a good person. Indeed, the very idea of a "good person" is impossible under capitalism, so I hereby declare you the liberalest liberal that ever liberaled.

NewForumSoftware posted:lol if you hadn't realized the country has been hosed since 1980 when any hope of dealing with climate change went out the window Two neoliberal technocrats and a TV host running in the Democratic Primaries will seal the deal.

Alienwarehouse posted:The Democratic Primaries in 2020 will likely have Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and Oprah participating. You'll know this country is hosed if this happens. I don't get what their angle would be. Running without political experience or even less political experience, so far, has only worked when the candidate has had grounds to paint those in power as having had poor judgment despite it, or establishment wing political positions disagree with the majority of the party. For example, establishment Republicans know illegal immigration is good for their businesses, but the majority of the Republican Party is against it. Maybe Zuckerberg will wait until he's had 2020 to computer-optimize his political positions before making them public and had a chance to decide whether to run as independent or whether his chances are best with the Republicans in 2024. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 30, 2017 |

I don't have the kind of money to buy other people avatars, but if I did, I would totally buy Brainiac an avatar of Kellyanne Conway. Maybe with Hillary in the background looking over her shoulder, maybe not. All you do is accuse people of doing the exact thing you're doing. You accuse them of looking down upon certain segments of the population, in the most dismissive and derisive attitude possible.

"No change can happen under capitalism, not even its end; don't think too deeply why I, a relative beneficiary of the system, would advocate for such a position" But please just find another way to explain why I'm actually a self-hating homophobe.

I think more horrifying than a Zuck presidential run would be Zuck picking up Feinstein's seat and then using that as a trampoline to the white house in 2024.

Just about every manual of practical political science says that you should avoid empty threats, insults without power behind them, etc. because what you do is anger the person without any means to prevent them from harming you. So, do you perhaps have a means to back this up? Because I certainly am quite convinced that the Bernieist movement must be crushed through force as its members are trapped within a depressive spiral of whining and moaning and empty squeaking of the word "abuela".

I'm glad I could be helpful in clarifying this for you. Nope, actually, it's on you to, if disputing this claim, to offer a counter-argument. The funny thing about platitudes, you sniveling little weasel, is that they can be used to justify just about anything. Kilroy posted:That's funny because I think Democrats like you should be literally crushed by trapping them in a hydraulic press and flipping the switch. But you ain't got the means to murder me, nor the gumption. You'd be puking your itsy little guts out when push came to shove. Alienwarehouse posted:Reminder that Bernie supported LGBT people and minorities for most of his life, while that imbecile Hillary Clinton waited until 2013. Oh, you didn't know that, did you? Oh, you mean the part where he sponsored a pride parade, just like the loving cops do, or the part where he only started supporting gay marriage when mainline Dems did, or the part where you wave him marching with Dr. King around like it's the Soviet flag?
