remember when D&D was about working toward a sound and reasoned debate, and people got probated for posting pointless anecdotal stories as "evidence," or when they personally attacked other posters?

those were the days

It's technocratic idiocy at root. They're not responsible for the loss of confidence in neoliberalism/global economies and the rise of nationalism. They're just claiming victories that were unlikely but not meaningfully the result of their work. Plus facebook is clamping down on the bullshit news sites that were key to CA's strategy.
Wait do you mean "the republican party's speaking points for the last 20 years" or are you actually gonna go there and blame liberals for how the republican party has acted since Bill Clinton was still in office

I don't completely understand the question. I'm just saying that the cultural shifts responsible for the rise of isolationist ethno-nationalism are independent of whatever CA says it's doing and so it's not really possible to measure the effectiveness of their advertising strategies.
The question was "do you really believe Obama started the war in Afghanistan and blame its failings on him?"

No, you said that you were angry with your dad for being an idiot, but then you calmed down and now just disagree with him. This is the big problem I have with a lot of people who want this weird modern version of "free speech" - it winds up translating into "you're not allowed to express strong emotion against incredibly bad, actively harmful ideas because that might have a chilling effect and speech should be wholly free of any kind of responsibility or consequence."
Turns out that trolls tend to run home and cling to mommy's skirts when poo poo gets complicated and starts upsetting them https://psmag.com/on-the-milo-bus-with-the-lost-boys-of-americas-new-right-629a77e87986#.j8s0qp96g

Hey, does anyone know any good resources for environmentalist activists? I have a friend who prioritizes animal rights and the environment, and I think we could have a useful ally in the green movement, as long as it's not married to luddism. It helps that a lot of the current right-wing political sphere is so blatantly corporatist that they outright attack environmentalism because it hurts the bottom line punishes hard-working plutocrats everyday guys.
yes, I do know good resources. what's the question?

you are coming at things with the assumption that people who want to save the environment are probably into "luddism" as you mentioned, and you also don't seem to have any defined goal or direction which you want to educate your friend. Either you're concern-trolling, or you're too lazy to google "resources for environmental activists" but either way you are not asking correctly, and you may or may not be making some stuff up.

I will also provide a couple valuable resources for you, be careful they may not stick around for long: https://www.climate.gov/ https://www.epa.gov/

Well okay, though I still have my doubts on the effectiveness of "yelling at boomers" doing anything besides getting them to remember to vote against you.
You're literally the only person citing "yelling at boomers". In fact the post I'm pretty sure your yelling quote came from, was about being yelled at BY boomers on their own front porch, when you go canvassing/educating.

It said being yelled at by / yelling at,
no, you didn't. you're lying, in order to make both sides seem equivalent.

And then making a stand on that lie, and then deflecting.

Please, move along and come back with something else.

Unrelated, how do we hook this guy and Sanders up?



And how do we find more people like this to run for office?
gently caress Sanders, he's not going to be relevent any longer, sorry kids. But I'd vote for this dude in a heartbeat.

Also I like his mom's horse shirt

Are they normally very vocal about Socialism?

Call of Duty players really hate Affirmative Action presidents like Hitlery and Obama. Probably 1 in 4 of the random folks i friended online were vocally about this at least twice - whereupon i removed them.

I got rid of my Xbox and largely dont miss it largely because of online chat
