Jewel Repetition posted:The problem is that our sense of morality tends to be what makes us become leftists in the first place a "sense of morality" is more of a right wing thing becuase what it usually means is a black and white worldview that translates into "its ok to brutalize minorities as long as you are nice and polite towards your white neighbors" leftism is all about empathy. being able to understand the pain of others, even if they are not like you

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

It is loving with me hard.

Raccooon posted:Old people should stay away from voting booths for their safety At this point I cannot figure out if this is the left-wing or the centrist position. On the one hand showing up to vote means they vote, on the other hand it increases the death toll. Edit: I don't even know if cheering on Corona-chan is left or right, it seems like cheering for death is a right wing thing. On the other hand cheering for nazi death has always been fine, so

Serf posted:capital is so loving stupid. a few minor concessions on healthcare, student loan forgiveness, etc, a tiny amount of their vast fortune, and they could have put an entire generation of workers in the imperial core back to sleep. the best way to defuse this situation would be to let bernie pass his mild social democratic agenda and secure our compliance. but in failing to do so, they are digging their own graves. workers of the world, unite imo the majority of oligarchs (the non religious ones at least)probably know that climate change is real and that the world as we know it is hosed if they don't immediately change or stop their current way of life. Of course they could do this and remain extremely rich as hell, forever, but they want to be richer than that. They don't want to compromise because they're sociopathic dipshits who have never truly failed before and think they can survive anything forever if they just pay their way into some elon musk moon dome or buy robolungs and a bunker in New Zealand lol i guess they are right to an extent but moon domes don't last forever

I know some people who grew up in family situations where everyone just touched everyone else all the time in every way possible, like hugs and playful punches and shoulder rubs but also just lying on top of each other in a heap while watching TV. Did Biden have like a super extreme version of that because the people I know who grew up that way can still control themselves in public.

babypolis posted:a "sense of morality" is more of a right wing thing becuase what it usually means is a black and white worldview that translates into "its ok to brutalize minorities as long as you are nice and polite towards your white neighbors" I don't think it's just about empathy. It's more generally about having a sense of fairness and a revulsion to cruelty, which are moral principles that apply even when you aren't directly empathizing with the people involved

It's something I wouldn't ever see working in a general, but in a primary you have nothing to lose by doing it if you're in the lead. "I'm the other guy, but with more support", plus it's not like his donors really need to be told he doesn't actually believe any of it. Bernie let Warren get away with this the whole primary.

They're out of their loving minds if they think Joe Biden is going to beat Trump. Not a single liberal boomer is going to go to the polls with a pandemic about and young people are not voting. Chud boomers do not give a gently caress about this because they don't think it is real or that it can happen to them.

By the way, if the GOP does not actively try to scare boomers and low info voters through leafting or whatever about the boomer plague, they are out of their minds. They have a Trump victory all wrapped up baby.

Someone I know know liked a tweet about how the suburbs might swing Biden's way after the super tuesday results came in and lots of burb dwellers were going Biden and how that could finish Trump... Guess who is terrified of dying and created an entire, wasteful existence away from cities just to avoid death in any form? lmao. Trump 2020 baby! Express elevator to hell!
