No I honestly don’t know what this kid is trying to say

2019-10-24 18:19:05 UTC  

He doesn't know either.

2019-10-24 18:19:05 UTC  

Ok, does this apply to American politics?

2019-10-24 18:19:12 UTC  

that's what I said from the start it's clearly going above your head

2019-10-24 18:19:14 UTC  

He's quoting Marvel movies.

2019-10-24 18:19:16 UTC  

Well let’s give him the benefit of the doubt

2019-10-24 18:19:23 UTC  

no I said I was quoting the myth of hercules which marvel also quotes

2019-10-24 18:19:31 UTC  

Nah, you were quoting the movie.

2019-10-24 18:19:32 UTC  

Admit it.

2019-10-24 18:19:35 UTC  

It's not shameful.

2019-10-24 18:19:35 UTC  

it's not my problem you can't grasp that

2019-10-24 18:19:38 UTC  

Right, except I just asked you how it applies and you said it applies to Columbian drug cartels

2019-10-24 18:19:53 UTC  

I said "that directly" wow

2019-10-24 18:20:02 UTC  

or "more literal"

2019-10-24 18:20:15 UTC  

Ok, in what way do you feel it applies to American politics?

2019-10-24 18:20:44 UTC  

well ok, let's say you ditch one politician you don't like, they have friends and mechanims in place to fix whatever progress you think you've made

2019-10-24 18:20:55 UTC  

By the way, Hercules solution was to cut off each head with help and burn the necks, not sure what you’re getting at

2019-10-24 18:21:05 UTC  

Right, so then they’re still replaced by one politician

2019-10-24 18:21:19 UTC  

yes, but it only fuels the mechanims that help keep them in power

2019-10-24 18:21:30 UTC  

advertising money, media, all that jazz

2019-10-24 18:21:31 UTC  

The allegory would suggest that the power actually *increases* as you deal with each successive politician

2019-10-24 18:21:41 UTC  

lol

2019-10-24 18:21:42 UTC  

But it doesn’t sound like you’re claiming that

2019-10-24 18:21:42 UTC  

yes, because now they look like a victim

2019-10-24 18:21:53 UTC  

Who are you referencing?

2019-10-24 18:22:24 UTC  

I'm talking in general, look the original point was Carbon saying he wants to basically destroy and rebuild the republican party I see this as a waste he should try to conquer it from within

2019-10-24 18:22:35 UTC  

didn't need to turn into this if you had basic contextual reasoning but I can't help that

2019-10-24 18:22:56 UTC  

You didn't need to confuse everyone by quoting Captain America either, but here we are.

2019-10-24 18:22:56 UTC  

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt by allowing you to explain your allegory

2019-10-24 18:23:04 UTC  

I wasn't, you were

2019-10-24 18:23:06 UTC  

It really just doesn’t fit any reality here

2019-10-24 18:23:16 UTC  

I was quoting you, therefore you were quoting Captain America.

2019-10-24 18:23:33 UTC  

So your claim is that destroying the Republican Party would... make it stronger?

2019-10-24 18:23:39 UTC  

I never mentioned him I was talking about some half-assed concept of hercules killing a monster

2019-10-24 18:23:45 UTC  

What are the new heads in this situation?

2019-10-24 18:23:50 UTC  

no each step you take to do so would

2019-10-24 18:23:56 UTC  

or would just make it more difficult to combat

2019-10-24 18:24:03 UTC  

not necessarily stronger just more difficult to achieve what you want

2019-10-24 18:24:13 UTC  

What is a step toward destroying the Republican Party that would make it more resilient?

2019-10-24 18:24:20 UTC  

It just doesn’t have any bearing on reality

2019-10-24 18:24:25 UTC  

cause now "oh we are under attack" instead of them simply becoming something that people would prefer it to be because it changed from the inside
