Bar Ran Dun posted:Thats because you are looking at it backwards. Invert the question. Why I would like Obama and Buttigieg is plainly obvious. What have I told you about who I am and the various places and instituions I've been through? I read either of thier autobiographies and I indentify with massive chunks of each, in specfic, absurdly specfic ways. We could talk about that. But thats not interesting and it's not the important question. The better question is why have I taken a more radical turn? Why have I decided for socialism? and for things like that critque of moderation? It's been there under the surface, for over a decade inserted by the later theological works of the author.. put perhaps a gentler way than helsing, why do you think being able to identify yourself with a politician is a good means for you to choose what policies to support?

Willie Tomg posted:D&D was never a "good" forum. It was never supposed to be. It was always a containment zone for people who were "funny" but a little too po-faced for GBS. Its humor, on this comedy website, was at best gallows humor, and at worst (and most common) probatably unfunny in GBS. Humor geared toward people who read too much. But those people did, at some point, actually read. That's why it ever had a culture, ever. Especially the parts that hated the culture! That cultures produce their antithesis is a fundament of dialectics! sorry if this is too much "babby's first hegel" question, but could you elaborate on the bolded a bit? Is this a result of underlying contradictions within the culture, i.e. capitalism, or is this self-negation fundamental to any concept according to dialetics?

hey willie, another dialectics question. i know that each new synthesis begets its own antithesis all over again, and that marx identified the revolutions from feudalism to capitalism as a dialectic process. but why did he believe that the revolution to socialism would not in turn beget its own antithesis and contradiction in its society all over again?

Forgive me if you've already mentioned this, but what exactly makes this group a "radical" bourgeois? As in, what event radicalized them and what extreme actions do they take as a result of this? The example you have, Obama, seems especially ill suited because he favored absolutely nothing besides a status quo you also seem to use bourgeois interchangeably with liberalism, ie enlightenment ideals

Despera posted:Your opinion is so out of the political mainstream that you might as well not have it. You'll never convince any substantial group of people that this is true, which is what you kind of need to enact change in a democracy. lol go back to shitposting in the afc north thread
