i don't think having a rebellious personality means they have no personality and define themselves by a pre-written identity

unless thats not what you said

except thats how you worded it

i didn't say they have a rebellious personality

i said they define themselves by the current status of "rebel" which in the normie society is a freak with pink-hair and metal all over cuz thats the most common opposite of a normal man/woman in a suit, proper natural hair and a clean face

it's a paradox in that, by acting as such they are defining a "new wave" of beauty where colloquially-defined beauty itself doesnt matter, and then go on to post glamorous pics of themselves thinking they are the new colloquially defined beauty?

which is because they want to belong somewhere, but don't feel like they have enough individuality, so they just join a "brand identity" because then they are part of something

I’m not sure it’s possible to explain using logic.

@Dr.Wol so you are switching from the common notion of "Rebelious Youth" to people that identify as a rebel?

no

i'm saying that in order to have something they can proclaim themselves as, they go with what current society brands rebellious

they don't have a personality thats rebellious

if any of them didnt have some form of cognitive dissonance, there wouldnt be glamor shots of them

it seems to me

you aren't trying to be constructive at all

so ill just leave it at that

i'm not, my original point was to explain as to why those people turn into such weird fashion statements

if you want me to be constructive, i'd say give them a hug and a better purpose in life than to pretend to be something you're not

i mean

it's not about giving them a purpose in life

fair point, "giving them a purpose" is too broad, make it "give them something to strive for"

yeah

so youre saying ping we should nuke Cali

we would be fucked if cali was nuked

a very small one

oh absolutely, the radiation mutation could add years to evolutionary advancement

provided people survive

or maybe detonate underneath them

if you bombed the bay area we would be fucked

tbh, nuking Cali would be stupid

its better to like, nuke some really deserted area near the American border

so the whole world would be like "... is... is this reason enough to retaliate? do we... do we do something? what do we do?"

cuz no one is fool enough to make the first shot that matters

🤔 but fallout

we nuke ourselves

world still goes to war

win-win really

the nukes we've detonated in the US were pretty small

good idea Puke, we nuke ourselves, blame the Chinese and surrender to Sweden

uncontitionally

who tf would even want to take over the US

they'd take our debt

N. Korea prob

tbh, if communists took over US the debt would be gone, because they don't believe in money

but who will pay them to run the place?

the 1%, duuh 😛

i wonder if the modern advocates for communism realise that same flaw in their plan

You cant see it because I try to be professional but Im pissed off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ebHzHvv0xc

How fucking dare Chelsea denounce Cass

Cass is so fucking nice and loyal

shes loyal to the point where even after chelsea shat on her she defended her

manning is a joke.. her 15 minutes has gone on way to long.

sounds like Manning sacrificed her principles to save face with angry mobs

Also in this vid, Tims lips clearly say "I'm pissed off"

but his eyes... his eyes say "read my lips" 😛

WTF is going on with her

this is just erratic behavior and blatant dishonesty, i don't even see the political gain

@Timcast What happened to "I disagree with what Patreon has done and encourage you all to donate via alternate means"?

https://www.pscp.tv/w/1vAxRMOOeYgJl

I mean, Chelsea didn’t just chose to stand with the left. She chose to openly align with the Antifa left. The faction that openly tells people open discussion with right wing individuals (all of which they lump in with Nazis) is bad and makes you no better than Nazis. Like no shit her side was going to turn on her when she spoke to openly right wing people and didn’t constantly scream at/shit on them.

She’s clearly trying to get back in their good graces

it blows my mind that a whistleblower could be so ignorant

I mean, just because you’re willing to blow the whistle on government corruption doesn’t mean you’re knowledgeable in politics or even intelligent

It seems like they'd go hand in hand

It just means you have information that proves wrongdoing and a moral compass that’s telling you what the corporation/government is doing is wrong

willfully ignorant "antifa left" supporters would immediately just REEE and call out, they wouldn't even dare attend a right-wing event

this just screams a deceptive motive

Who exactly is she trying to deceive here?

the left i'd say, by basically trying to virtue signal, like "look at me, im fighting the good fight, taking it to THEM"

and i mean decieving for personal gains, not deception to stick it to the left

Eh, I just look at this whole thing, and I just don’t give a shit. Like, why the fuck am I suppose to care who Chelsea Manning spends her free time with? Why does anyone care? Why do I care what her relationship with Cassandra Fairbanks is? Like, I understand why Tim cares, since Cassandra is his friend, but why does anyone who’s not actually friends with either Chelsea or Cassandra give a shit?

Presumably because she is an influential activist figure

I personally don't care, Chelsea doesn't seem to be building a platform for herself

i dunno i only learned this Chelsea manning existed today, and that its in fact a he

but googling around said he/she displayed interest in running for senator, might be trying to ride on some quick fame for being anti-"alt-right" or something, thats usually what progressives gun for these days

So what? Why should someone’s personal life have any barring on their activism?

It shouldn’t.

in a normal society, it wouldn't

in todays politicized society, if you're an activist, your personal life doesn't exist

Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs and was a pretty sexist guy. Who cares when his message is all about equality for all races, and bringing blacks & whites together.

Martian? i think i missed a few chapters 😛 he's from mars now?

Nobody’s perfect. Everyone has flaws. Flawed people can still have good ideas

Stupid autocucumber

Some of the left wants to tear down statues of the founding fathers because they owned slaves.

😄 it was too funny for me to ignore

My tablet likes to make dumb corrections all the time

and well, these days it doesn't matter who you are, what you say or think

Its the public opinion of you that defines you in the eyes of the people

Very few people are 100% good or 100% evil. Even the best people have terrible ideas, even the worst people have some good ones.

well the thing is, we're all human, any person is capable of great heroics and great horrors

and as such it is our actions that should define us, not what we claim to want to be

Guess the left takes going to a party with some people as actions that define manning. Which I find funny but am not surprised by.

well in their eyes, thats fraternising with the enemy

Ffs stop referring to left wing media and far left activists as "the left"

what should they be refered to as?

Anti liberal clowns

Regressive left.

It's just for convenience.

Fair enough

Yeah pretty much.

We all know who’s being referred to.

Even if they're not what the left is suppose to be, they are the current face of it in it's current form, unfortunately.

I think using the term 'liberal' is even more of a misnomer.

I mean, the Antifa crowd ain’t liberal

Definitely not. lol

With their whole “liberals get the bullet too” slogan

depends by what political template you go by,

If you go by purely left-right, then its acceptable

if you go by left-right with a Y-axis of Authoritarian/Liberal

then saying "the left" is wrong because its the "authoritarian" branch that imposes this, not the liberal left (and right-wing respectively)

its just corrupted definitions

like how "Liberal" is now just the term for Authoritarian Leftist
