yes, to make it equal

2018-06-29 21:48:06 UTC  

no

2018-06-29 21:48:09 UTC  

"its our turn now"

2018-06-29 21:48:29 UTC  

yeah,

"You had all the power, so in order to make it equal, We now get power"

2018-06-29 21:48:40 UTC  

no

2018-06-29 21:48:43 UTC  

thats not what they think

2018-06-29 21:49:29 UTC  

deep personal thoughts aside,

they want power to screw others over

2018-06-29 21:52:49 UTC  

or wait, you two were refering to Tims latest episode?

2018-06-29 21:53:01 UTC  

Tim, in the event they get everything they want, do you think they'd ever consider letting the 'pendulum' swing back again?

2018-06-29 21:53:08 UTC  

no

2018-06-29 21:53:38 UTC  

It's not merely making up for past wrongs, it's just seizing power because having power is better than not having power.

2018-06-29 21:54:03 UTC  

They can dress it up in all the flowery language and inane justifications they want; it's still just all about power.

2018-06-29 21:54:36 UTC  

in that context, yeah

They will grab power, and wont give it up because that can harm them again

2018-06-29 21:54:47 UTC  

The system we currently have is one of, if not the, best to ever have existed in the history of humanity.

2018-06-29 21:54:54 UTC  

It's not perfect; nothing is.

2018-06-29 21:55:31 UTC  

But there is no clearly superior alternative, and certainly no clearly superior alternative that has actually existed in the real world.

2018-06-29 21:55:37 UTC  

its not abou harming them

2018-06-29 21:55:41 UTC  

its not about equality

2018-06-29 21:55:45 UTC  

its about them living in yachts

2018-06-29 21:55:53 UTC  

the drones might believe in doing good

2018-06-29 21:56:02 UTC  

but the activists running this shit just want power same as any sociopath

2018-06-29 21:56:30 UTC  

yeah i initially was refering to the drones when i said they really believe in equality, hence our disagreement earlier

2018-06-29 21:56:39 UTC  

Maybe not yachts; Mao lived a very simple life.

2018-06-29 21:56:43 UTC  

the upper people are totally in it for personal gain

2018-06-29 21:56:43 UTC  

drones barely believe in anything

2018-06-29 21:56:54 UTC  

The Kim regime loved their comforts though.

2018-06-29 21:57:10 UTC  

But the common denominator is power.

2018-06-29 21:57:22 UTC  

drones believe in "doing good", they just can't think what being good is, so they listen to what the preachers say

2018-06-29 21:58:02 UTC  

you see it yourself in those on the street interviews, they're usually 2 questions away from having nothing to say anymore

2018-06-29 21:58:06 UTC  

"good" is socially constructed; if their peers all tell them that whatever they are doing is moral and righteous, they feel wonderful.

2018-06-29 21:58:42 UTC  

What we have looks to be the beginning of the bolshevik revolution

2018-06-29 21:58:51 UTC  

Well, street interviewers probably look for the most retarded person they can find (though it's a target-rich environment at protests).

2018-06-29 21:59:28 UTC  

I dunno man. The Bolsheviks were born out of three years of brutal freezing slaughter and defeat in WW1.

2018-06-29 21:59:37 UTC  

I doubt it, Bolsheviks were like "dying" levels of poor,

Modern western world made people too comfy to start a "bolshevik" revolution

2018-06-29 21:59:55 UTC  

This is more like Weimar Germany.

2018-06-29 22:00:13 UTC  

Though not as pronounced of course.

2018-06-29 22:01:59 UTC  

I'm reminded of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYhB4AaAcqM
Obviously Aydin is a massive partisan, but she does a good job of covering the post-WW1 political situation.

2018-06-29 22:03:44 UTC  

Weimar Germany with a twist

2018-06-29 22:05:16 UTC  

nah, but from what i gather, this is a new wave of insanity,

As i understand it most of these radical leftists, are the children of middle-class people
They're the bourgoise they want to depose, and have never fought a war,

So instead of the uprising being the workers/the poor/the downtrodden

Its the rich, trying to use the poor as an excuse to attack the even richer

2018-06-29 22:05:49 UTC  

Well.. I was referring to the Politics of the area, The use of Propaganda to put a core group in power.

2018-06-29 22:06:16 UTC  

That's part. There's also a crapload of legit poor, mostly inner-city blacks, first generation latino immigrants, and illegals.
