CortezFantastic posted:Why would they? That is like, forever ago, and he changed his mind and apologized. Dig enough on anyone and you'll find something dumb they said or thought. He runs a good, honest business and actually gets involved, unlike a lot of ironybois (@PissPigGranddad being the best and most extreme example). You may not like him, but he has done more to broadcast leftist views than anyone. The left needs a loudmouth. I know a lot of people who have joined the DSA (or even started DSA chapters) because of Chapo

Famethrowa posted:To be fair, they are all 3 pretty privileged dudes. Matt is the closest to working class, but even he is from the academic world, Will was in the literary world, and Felix came from a decently wealthy upper middle class Jewish neighborhood (as far as I can tell) Matt grew up working class and dropped out of grad school, saying he has privilege from the academic world is a little off. There's an episode about this where they take Charles Murray's quiz about living in a bubble; Matt's upbringing was much more rural-America than the others.

Joementum posted:Al Giordano is a journalist and anti-nuclear-power activist who moved to Mexico where he totally-for-real wanted to join a left wing militia, but they told him he'd be more use to them posting on twitter instead of taking up arms against the oppressors. He spent the 2016 primary mad about his mentions and plans to run for Senate in Vermont in 2018 against Bernie Sanders, who he blames for, well, basically everything. Whenever I read that he was an "anti-nuclear" activist, I assumed it meant anti-nuclear weapons and not anti-nuclear power. Gross

Mr. Lobe posted:That is what happens when you pitch yourself as a big tent socialist organization. It will be interesting to see what becomes of the DSA when these internal contradictions come to a head. I think we will see that happening next electoral cycle. If the internal contradictions are coming to a head, then things are going great because there's somehow both a viable social democrat and a viable candidate further to the left of the social democrat

Mr. Lobe posted:I am thinking it will be more a matter of a conflict between "engage with whatever ends up passing as leftist electoral politics" vs "none of this electoral politics bullshit" camps. I think it is extremely optimistic to suppose we will have any worthwhile candidates with a real shot of getting elected. And I think that will make those internal conflicts come out. The DSA was pretty strongly behind Bernie in 2016, so I'd expect a pretty big wave of electoral enthusiasm for anyone similar in 2020 (and someone will definitely run as Bernie 2). Especially since like half of the people in the DSA joined because of Bernie

I don't see how Amber making fun of cis women who get hysterectomies makes her a TERF. It's weird, but it's talking poo poo about cis people, right? How does trans stuff come in? (also I don't think amber could be called a radical feminist because she always talks about how she sees class as more significant than sex or gender, but maybe TERF has evolved linguistically)

I like how this assumes Epstein took a bold stand against the blackmailers, leading to his arrest, instead of immediately giving them $100 million like any reasonable person would do if you had a billion dollars. Or is this claiming that Epstein was blackmailing other people? edit: in the replies, MAGA people are bragging that trump never rode on epstein's plane. Trump would be furious at anyone who suggests he's not jeff epstein's best friend and closest confidante

Actually, by reading philosophy and history, we come to better understand the phenomena we encounter in our own time, including the beliefs expressed by others. We better develop our ideas and become better at articulating them. Reading is good for you! Gripweed posted:If you can tell me the difference between a Proudhonist and a Menshivik, that's bad for you. You are not in any way aided by having that knowledge inside you The Proudhonists were anarchists and the Mensheviks were social democrats. Do you really think someone is worse off for knowing that? Even seemingly esoteric or outdated theory is useful for understanding our present moment. When Lenin went into exile for the second time, he read Hegel's Logic, and applied its ideas throughout the October Revolution Civilized Fishbot fucked around with this message at 22:30 on May 7, 2020 |
