I am very into the comics stuff. First time in a long time I bought comics.

The shift in the left began when the radicals of the late 60s graduated and worked their way into positions of power. they recruited and trained a second wave, and that's what we're dealing with now.

2018-09-25 00:47:34 UTC  

Have you ever read some of the old stuff of the media and academic apologizing for the ussr its so gross. many of them knew how bad it actually was too.

2018-09-25 00:47:58 UTC  

the proteges of the 60s radicals have been placed or have insinuated themselves into positions of power but all they know is the philosophy of divide and conquer. they have no ideas of their own. they are effectively parasites killing their host.

2018-09-25 00:48:25 UTC  

what old stuff?

2018-09-25 00:48:43 UTC  

The NYT recently (the last few years) ran some articles about how good things were under stalin and mao. I couldn't believe it.

2018-09-25 00:48:48 UTC  

that LGBT student society apologizing for gulags?

2018-09-25 00:49:11 UTC  

saying that they were humane and just and that everyone there was basically receiving therapy.

2018-09-25 00:49:16 UTC  

the what?

2018-09-25 00:49:21 UTC  

the new stuff they titles red century [NYT]

2018-09-25 00:50:01 UTC  

are you kidding me?

2018-09-25 00:50:52 UTC  

even neo nazi don't pretend the death camps were a good thing, they try to deny they happened.

2018-09-25 00:51:06 UTC  

"Paradoxically the thread was written as an apparent justification for an earlier post by the same group which threatened to send a political opponent “to the gulag”."

2018-09-25 00:53:15 UTC  

The fundamental problem here is that post-modernism requires that all people share the same socially constructed reality. People who dissent and insist upon a different reality are invalidating the existence of those who uphold the accepted reality.

2018-09-25 00:53:33 UTC  

that's not very smart

2018-09-25 00:53:42 UTC  

So dissenters must be either fixed or killed.

2018-09-25 00:53:55 UTC  

You must learn to love the party.

2018-09-25 00:54:10 UTC  

Straight out of Orwell.

2018-09-25 00:54:26 UTC  

yeah...i know how that worked

2018-09-25 00:54:39 UTC  

and it was a reality for some people 29 years ago

2018-09-25 00:55:46 UTC  

Think of lucid dreaming. If you know you're dreaming and you're dreaming long enough to get the hang of it you can do anything you want. Anything. Reality bends to your whim. It's pretty fucking awesome.

2018-09-25 00:56:24 UTC  

@Bo_Co By the way, to your earlier questions about denials, Walter Duranty covered the USSR for the new york times and won a pulitzer. The NYT eventually had to apologize for that.

2018-09-25 00:56:33 UTC  

Now imagine if there was another conscious mind sharing that reality who could also bend anything within it to his whim. Including you.

2018-09-25 00:57:04 UTC  

How are you going to treat him? Friend? Indifference? Enemy?

2018-09-25 00:57:18 UTC  

He's the only thing in the universe other than you that can harm you.

2018-09-25 00:57:43 UTC  

Out of simple self-preservation you must either dominate him or destroy him.

2018-09-25 00:58:01 UTC  

That's post-modernism.

2018-09-25 00:58:49 UTC  

>not joining up to double-bully your enemies

2018-09-25 00:59:13 UTC  

Sure, for a time. But in the end there can be only one will.

2018-09-25 01:01:02 UTC  

>I have a gun
>you have a gun
>surely one of us must kill the other
I dont really buy that tbh

2018-09-25 01:01:45 UTC  

That's not a good analogy.

2018-09-25 01:03:09 UTC  

Let's say I'm Ben Shapiro and I say there are only two genders.

2018-09-25 01:03:23 UTC  

In what sense? That it doesn't map to a scenario that has no actual logical structure?

2018-09-25 01:03:54 UTC  

And you're some special snowflake who thinks they're a third (or fourth, or fifty-seventh gender).

2018-09-25 01:04:33 UTC  

If both of our believes actually alter reality, we can't exist simultaneously.

2018-09-25 01:04:57 UTC  

Either our beliefs have to change or we have to change.

2018-09-25 01:05:20 UTC  

Either Ben has to start believing in the 57 genders, or the snowflake conforms to one of the two genders.

2018-09-25 01:05:30 UTC  

Please explain this guys https://youtu.be/N3irid2qUVk

2018-09-25 01:05:45 UTC  

Your analogy fails because my having a gun doesn't mean you don't have a gun.

2018-09-25 01:07:25 UTC  

They actually can, because the two sides aren't using the same concept
