Soyboy handling out flyers.
For once we agree evil Socialists!
***REPARASHUNS***
These people are laughable
Yeah

Conolized.
WE WUZ CONOLIZED N SHIET
So I've been researching Heinlein in preparation Sargons video about Starship Troopers
WEEEW
Sargon does the research I just fact him
Hipster.
๐
I picked up rereading the book
Lol I thought I'd do my English paper on him
Interested in hearing Sargon's thoughts about one of the characters disparaging of natural rights
So, Heinlein didn't start writing until after halfway through his second marriage, which today would probably be called a 'Rabid Feminist'
His wife that is
Ah
Doesn't show with how Johnny fawns over the women stationed on his ship
Something about his wife's politics, combined with the closeout of the second world war, caused him to start writing, with even Heinlein calling it 'propaganda'.
Before all of this, he was an active member of the Socialist party as well
TL;DR He got woke on communism, and started to tear into it
So like Orwell
Idk, I haven't looked up his personal life
I wonder how much living with this "Rabid Feminist" shaped his views going into writing *The Moon is a Harsh Mistress*
The relationships in that one are a bit more communal
IIRC
So now, I'm organizing his entire bibliography by date, and cross referencing his personal life along with social changes in the 60s and 70s
You can even classify his works by 'diagnosis' 'perscription' and 'possible future outcomes'
The basic concept resonates with me because I do give at least one afternoon and normally an evening as well to unpaid community service per week
Service is Citizenship
I've classified that one (starship) as a 'prescription'.
Take a look at "for us, the living". That's his first piece of writing
Guy gets in a car accident, and wakes up 150 years in the future
And it's not a pretty future at that.
but I'm curious to see what Sargon makes of it
Oh, yeah. But that's just the one book. I'm looking at his collection as a collection of thoughts about the political climate of the Era it was written in
So fascinating
Now I'm reading up on his Wikipedia article
His second wife was a nudist, an alcoholic, and permitted an open relationship. I'm sort of amazed he managed to last 15 years at that
That was HIS thing as well!
He met her, as she was his friends GF, and then he slept with her that same night
She had a Masters in Philosophy, and was in the Hollywood world
REBOUND
Lol
Went to the library, and I grabbed his first, and last books, plus an anthology of short stories.
He had an idea about the possibility of a European Union, and the eventual collapse of such, plus a theoretical concept called 'Non-intercourse' which is basically a reverse embargo by the US on the EU.
I should start a blog on this...
His first book reads more like Atlas Shrugged, than any normal sci-fi novel. More focus on the ideas than the characters
huh
"For Us, The Living" is the title. It was his very first book, yet it was published post-humonously
I had to put it down. Too much.
You can tell, this man was on a warpath with his writing, having been medically discharged from the Navy, and feeling duty bound to continue fighting in some regard.
My Friend's politics are interesting...
neo-cuckservative
i am a verified centrist
Radical Centrism

LOL
You can joke that "Hitler did nothing wrong", but "Hillary did nothing wrong" is taking it too far.
very voke
@Deleted User many thought that hilary was corrupt so they would not vote her.
also, what happened to sanders? (I have an idea)
@Caracalla i know Hilary was corrupt
what why I'm i in special snowflakes
really makes you think
<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
OH SHIIET
It's time
#HYPE
This is worthy of a @everyone
what do people here think about animal cruelty?
I personally couldn't care less about animals
they contribute nothing but food to our society
it is not unusual for other species to kill their prey in a "horrible" way
cats mess about with mice rather than killing it straight away
so why can't we piss about with an animal if we want to?
inb4 vegan gains smells this all the way from twitter and knocks my door down
listening to this with some 00's tunes on
amazing what the right music does to a scene
@redd that's not politics, and don't post that shit in here. not gonna warn you again
I was trying to discuss the ethics, but fair enough
videos of animal cruelty aren't really necessary
Who are these guys?
If I recall
German anti-rape group
Maybe they've branched out since then
https://oversight.house.gov/whistle/ *MFW* the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee homepage has a "Blow the Whistle" agency reporting form.
does anyone have a link to a good political server I could join
check out the Jordan Peterson discord maybe, there's all kinds of talk over there
all
kiiiiinddddddzzzzzzzzz
Wait Diane. Why should Amber quit over something that happened in the 60s ๐ค
Amber was like 2 years old
If the commies themselves can't use the word consistently, I won't bother either.
Just like SJWs that misuse sex, gender, etc.
Well, yes, the comments section *is* pretty funny in this regard
Can we Make California Red Again?
Hoooly shit
Heโs calling out the commies @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]
LANDSLIDE
He's a fucking straight black male
๐ฅ
Kyle Kashuv is a QT
There is too much disinformation from both sides tbh
I'm glad *somebody* thinks he's cute.
Both sides on guns?
On the whole Syria thing
Yeah it's a fucking mess.
The disinformation campaign is working.
Whoever is doing it.
Smoke and mirrors in the middle east.
I've been thinking a lot about the concept of state secrets lately because of it.
Here's a line of thought I had that I shared with @DanConway:
A morality of force and government and militaries must inexorably elaborate how to cope with the dangers of state secrets privileges. Comey's langauge is a great example. State secrets become political tools. It's inevitable. How do the people more perfectly ensure the freedom of the state against corruption via the tool of state secrets? Should the Justice Department be capable of hiding its actions from Congress and the President? Should someone like the speaker of the Chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee not be barred by something like state secrets privileges?
And here is an opinion I found on state secrets privileges:
The state secrets privilege undermines the very idea of an independent judiciary; contradicts the core idea of judicial review, which is independent judges making independent evaluations of all of the facts; and essentially allows the executive branch to dictate to the federal courts what cases they can and canโt hear.
Defenders of the state secrets privilege justify it with a โgreater goodโ argumentโinjustice in the individual case is outweighed by the greater good of protecting national security. But this argument ignores another โgreater goodโ argument: that the greater good is actually served by denying the executive a trump card that would allow it to cover up its abuses of power.
I AM NEGAN
I woudn't call Negan a Commie
tyrant seems accurate
<:gay:382982146249326612>
way to be a huge disappointment, Police Chief Richard Ross
Damn :\
Speaking of that,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoUv-qSi9yk
yeah I found his channel recently
great guy
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]
I've seen a few of his videos, they are good
He was a cop?
Yeah
Gotta recruit him for Donut's bingos.
daaaamn that's a good idea
I just had someone on reddit tell me that the police chiefs initial statement was racist.
why am I surprised
Donut has mentioned it
I Also suggested replacing AngryCops with MiketheCop but not tell anyone
And see how long it takes for someone to cotton on
Man I so wish I could meet a guy like Brandon. I need more wholesome black people in my life.
Like this fucking legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORp3q1Oaezw
This American Hero: https://youtu.be/RbURJeicSG0
He doesn't do much schooling, they don't let him speak, the bitch just keep telling "you're black, you'll never be as good as a white."
Very true. It's a heart breaking video.
The more I take it the more I move to the right.
The more you take.. *it*?
As in takes the test lets say every month
And sees how the political stance changes
Well, she's at a very lefty university
So if she takes it from the left of *course* she's gonna move to the ri-
..
yeah.
Honestly though, what reason do we have to believe them?
Although I believe the systems in place for monitoring DPRK missile and nuclear testing is pretty fucking extensive.
whole thing seems pret-ty dodge to me
So it's concerning how much of that lies behind the wall of state secrets.
practically fucking falling over themselves to aquiesce to everything China and the US have been trying to get done
After doing nothing but sabre rattling for decades
Well
This wouldn't happen for nothing
That's for sure
When the BBC reported the NK developments they made it sound like it was something spontaneous and nothing to do with Trump
really makes you think
Funny how it makes contemporary Democrats sound like fringe 60s Republicans
Huh..hhorseshoe?
The movie about columbine made me hate the guy
Yeah
that said
Sicko was pretty good
IIRC
thaat said
I don't really know why Michael Moore didn't jump on the trump train. Like, he predicted the victory and he must see what Trump is doing is good for the working class
and well, he once was that right? IIRC he started moviemaking after being laid off from a factory, or am I getting that wrong
god, I still have all those old Moore documentaries sitting on my shelf from my socialist days.
ew
found jdm's fetish
Nice to see those fucks getting some heat.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/805311-ranking-member-grassley-letter-131011.html a good read to understand how FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) works
also a good read from: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3116307-A-Review-of-the-FBI-s-Use-of-Section-215-Orders.html
REEEEEEEEE
that guy tho
w 0 k e
Wow so Right-Wing
only 15.5 to go, and then down about uhm... say... 6.5
well I used to be -8 left
so
big shift tbh
DO IT
Being very left and very libertarian doesn't really make sense to me. The state needs a lot of power if you want it to actively reduce economic gaps
