(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

    You ignored the question… and continued to make attacks that have no actual end result/point to the convo you claim to be trying to have.

    What question did I ignore, exactly? And what convo do I “claim to be trying to have?”

    Again. Re read #3 because I’ve already said it multiple times. Do you have any actual other point than that besides “dems & Cheney bad?” That’s what I’ve been trying to get to.

    I mean, if you want to get into a more general discussion of why the democrats lost, we can do that - the main reason being that they were associated with a declining status quo. I talked about the Cheney’s because that was the specific topic being discussed.

    I don’t really get why you seem to be taking my points so personally.

    I mean… you have to go beyond socialism into communism to not think that some form of capitalism should exist. And I’m not saying I’m not on board with SOME of that, but you’re kind of driving my point home that you’re just… saying shit.

    I’m a basically a fuckin’ socialist you turd.

    I don’t understand how you’re using any of these terms. To me, “communist” and “socialist” are pretty much interchangable in the same way that “liberalism” and “capitalism” are.

    this whole time when I’ve addressed the Cheney point MULTIPLE times, which was your only real complaint until you kept attacking random shit.

    See, I don’t have any understanding of why you think my criticism of the Cheney’s or the Democratic Party was an attack on you that you had to defend against.

      Wow. It is shocking you have the lack of self awareness to criticize the messaging of having Cheney around… but are what, ignoring on purpose the messaging in America around socialism/communism?? Totally oblivious? Yeah good luck walking around telling the average American that isn’t already a leftist “yeah come join me, I’m a socialist communist!”

      Do you… not see what the right would… do with that? Not only are you butchering the reality and history of these terms, you literally make the world black and white in exactly a way that benefits MAGA?

      But I’m supposed to believe you are arguing in good faith? I’ve made some mistakes in this convo but jfc this is egregious.
