Just a small word of caution:
If we have future social(ist) justice warriors as stupid as Ocasio Cortez, we are likely in for more trouble.
Let's "pack the Supreme Court"
Seriously, is this generation of young adults who want change this stupid?
Unbelievable

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
Such a mentality is hardly limited to the left or the young. McConnell demonstrated (I refer to the "advice and consent" on Merrick Garland, of course) that if the Republicans had temporary hold on the reins of power and thought they could [only] control the court with it, they would pack it in a minute.ant wrote:Let's "pack the Supreme Court"

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
What you completely fail to understand is that attack is not the point. Most of us here don't bother "attacking" you as you have no credibility to start with.KindaSkolarly wrote:Y'all aren't even good at using his attack techniques.
"Refuting" can be an interesting challenge. "Understanding" is the real challenge. I read books and news to understand the world, not to do battle. I think it is fair to say most of the other frequent contributors do the same. So when we see that you don't give a flying fig for understanding the world, we scratch our heads and wonder what makes you tick.
However, your attack does underline your purpose in posting here, which is to attack. I quote these sentences as a matter of documentation, but I don't think anyone who has been reading your stuff needs any convincing.KindaSkolarly wrote:Whiny Alinskyites.
I could say that some of you are such intense narcissists that you place an inordinate value on awareness of self. Which would mean you don't give a damn about others.
And now the New York Times has you zombies turning your attention to Trump's taxes.
I might start a thread on Ford, as a way into the subject of trauma-based mind control.
Yes, people have been saying that supporting public schools and having progressive taxation is "socialism" for a long time. You are starting to make me think socialism must be a really good idea. I recently ran across a thumbnail sketch of Burlington, VT when Bernie Sanders was mayor, and how it turned around and became a brilliant source of humanitarian uplift and economic success. It left me with the same impression. Why should our quality of life not be as good as that of Sweden or Denmark? No good reason.KindaSkolarly wrote:What I've learned since I grew up is that socialist-minded people are either stupid or conniving. You either want to steal people's wealth, or you're too dumb to realize that your aiding in the crime.

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
Sweden is becoming a Muslim hellhole. What's wrong with you? Any money that the country may have accumulated through overtaxation will soon be gone, paid out to people who were invited in to destroy the culture.
This forum is largely Leftist. As such, folks support the destruction of western culture, suppression of free speech, pedophilic sexualization of children by "social justice warriors,"and so on. So of course I attack. What's to discuss in those areas? Leftists are just wrong. And they're fascistic. You can't debate fascists.
But at the same time I don't think that the Right has the answers. Except for nationalism. Pull back from the ChiCom world takeover of globalism, return to nation-states working amongst themselves for prosperity, and things are good.
But Leftists can't abide nationalism. It's a threat to their dreams of monolithic CONTROL. So the Trump of Brazil was just gutted (though he survived and will become President), and the commie French are trying to declare Marine Le Pen "insane" because she doesn't believe in communism (shades of Stalin). And now Faith Goldy (who's running for mayor of Toronto), is being denied advertising (completely illegal).
Leftism is about to die, and old-guard Leftists have to resort to thuggery, as they always do in a pinch.
Nationalism, borders, trade, free speech. Beat that if you can.

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
KindaSkolarly recently cheered an article that advocated martial law, mass arrests, military tribunals, seizing control of mass media, disbanding the FBI, suspending elections, and much more. Compare that to the post above: KindaSkolarly has a severe lack of self awareness, projects his own thoughts onto others, then feigns disgust at his own opinions.
Indeed. Not worth spending much time on it, KindaSkolarly is out of conTROLL.Harry Marks wrote:Most of us here don't bother "attacking" you {KindaSkolarly} as you have no credibility to start with.

Most people on Booktalk support pedophilic sexualization of children? The other two items are almost equally ridiculous.KS wrote:This forum is largely Leftist.

How can you not see your words from our perspective? Not only are you wrong, but you come across as frothing and deranged.

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
It was only a matter of when, not whether, Trump's cronies in Congress and his lamentable namesake son would smear Jamal Khashoggi. I was waiting for KS to weigh in on that, but maybe he has withdrawn from the fray.

It's essentially built into politics.

Re: Draining the swamp - Thank you Donald Trump
But do you think equivalency should apply in this case, ant? It shouldn't, in my opinion. It didn't in Charlottesville when Trump tried to use it. The matter of degree is relevant.

They all engage in it.. numerous wrongs simply don't justify any of this behavior from either side. Politics are totally dirty.DWill wrote:But do you think equivalency should apply in this case, ant?

It's always been that way, but we seem to find it morally reprehensible when it's not "our guy" doing it.
