MiddleOne posted:In his latest video Sargon reveals that he basis his entire view of modern economies on.... The Wealth of Nations, which he finished reading a few weeks ago. Now as far as economic literature goes that is not the worst choice. Adam Smith had some quite loony beliefs but the Wealth of Nations is still very relevant when it comes to understanding the role of bond markets, inequality and taxation in statehood. However, to base your entire take on this is whoooooooosh... Widely inadequate to put it lightly. To then try to apply this limited understanding to the potential repercussions of a hard Brexit is complete lunacy. this is like when you're 15, have just read Atlas Shrugged and all of a sudden see yourself as an enlightened super-being i look forward to all of his opinions orbiting whatever book he reads next

OwlFancier posted:You can be a bald chubbo and still have friends if you're not a knobhead. Speaking as a balding chubbo, it's not the limiting factor you'd think it was when you were 18. But I also tried to cultivate a personality and interests, even if they always were geeky ones. Shocker, I found both in college and my life afterwards that there are a decent number of women who are interested in the same stuff and DTF. But I also sort of assumed that the women into hobby stuff legitimately liked what they said they did instead of pulling a gatekeeper with it. Yeah, sometimes they might not have known all about stuff like the publishing history of Wonder Woman (to use a recent one) but then you can usually share something interesting instead of just turning your nose up because they didn't know every little thing about pop culture. It's almost like actually being a functioning human and not dwelling in a basement lets you find partners, even if you aren't a Chad! But I guess they weren't HB10s so they didn't count or I was just beta bux or something.

That Old Tree posted:The great thing about the 8chan child porn thing is that their primary ways of responding were: Yeah, and it also doesn't help that nerd communities tend to pick up pedos like a dog picks up fleas. Geek social fallacy means you don't kick them out instantly, and a good number of people are social odd enough that someone screwing a teenager somehow gets to be passed off as libertine instead of abusive. I know I've had more than one conversation at a hobby shop where the end result was someone saying stuff like how 16 year olds are basically adults and it was fine in the past. I just mentally check a box and make sure to keep an eye on them and call the cops if I see them putting the moves on a kid. I've had quite a bit of push back over suggesting that people report known sex offenders the hang out in gaming stores (since kids go there) in hopes of having them re-institutionalized. You'd think "don't gently caress kids" would be a non-controversial statement, but lots of people have a blind spot when it starts involving later teens for some reason.

The worst part about that picture of him is the terrible flat lighting that just makes them look even worse than usual. It's the same problem I have with The Amazing Atheist. What is it with the goddamn flat lighting that just exposes every single facial blemish?

Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe that's why they're all so terrified of 'cucks'.

i mean it's just such a shame that the millenials started making fun of the proud, noble german people who suffered through the second world war through no fault of their own. why can't we go back to the good old days of civil decency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5eAjYpcYeg&t=317s

Gotta love how history thought of World War II as a pointless waste of human life where both sides were the same, morally speaking, right up until the 1980s.

Not sure if this is the right thread but the dude has a youtube channel so here goes. I've been directed to watch a couple of Jordan Peterson vids and can't make up my mind on what to think, they've been about his religious beliefs and how they gel with his scientific understanding. Mostly they seem like word salad to me but I could be missing something big here. Anyone have much knowledge of this guy?

I like how his timeline skipped right over the peak of the RAF as well as the entirety of the GDR. Both things which I would place significantly higher on a "The left is mean to Germans" list than dude in a hammer and sicle shirt.

It's been a lot of Youtube comments, but they're all very special: Sorry these are picture tweets, but, sometimes, that's better. https://twitter.com/Skullslime/status/874128994903351297 https://twitter.com/9_volt88/status/874279912118636545 I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how many people have "been cucked", according to Twitter user Third Position. Fun fact, if you're dumb like me: Third Position is an old, edgelord, South Park idea of "both sides are dumb, and I'm cool for figuring that out" that was used (most importantly) by the Nazi's against capitalism and communism. I found this out by Googling the name to find his Twitter account. BirdOfPlay fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Jun 13, 2017 |

yeah, the 'third position' or 'third way' is pretty common in fascist and nationalist circles. Certainly it helped get the left-ish branch of Naziism on board back in the day, before they were all purged ofc.
