sorry, i couldn't resist.

2018-05-12 02:17:40 UTC  

When in doubt, use ad hominem and memes.

2018-05-12 02:17:48 UTC  

And strawman why not?

2018-05-12 02:18:29 UTC  

i was poking fun at the fact that you seemingly deem yourself on a higher intellectual plane for simultaneously listening to leftists and rightists, which isn't necessarily correct

2018-05-12 02:18:43 UTC  

It's called having a mental disorder

2018-05-12 02:18:48 UTC  

When did I say that?

2018-05-12 02:18:56 UTC  

W h a t

2018-05-12 02:19:01 UTC  

Buy I dont care about your mental disorders.

2018-05-12 02:19:19 UTC  

When did I say that I deem myself on a higher intellectual plane?

2018-05-12 02:19:35 UTC  

you heavily implied it

2018-05-12 02:19:49 UTC  

this entire time you've attempted to discredit us as children

2018-05-12 02:19:54 UTC  

Ah right strawmanning again

2018-05-12 02:19:59 UTC  

Not you

2018-05-12 02:20:03 UTC  

buy, because buy is a child

2018-05-12 02:20:06 UTC  

like a literal child

2018-05-12 02:20:17 UTC  

I said a good portion of leftists and rightists are dumb. That's true.

2018-05-12 02:20:28 UTC  

Same for some centrists too.

2018-05-12 02:21:24 UTC  

And when I say dumb I mean dumb in mostly politics.

2018-05-12 02:21:33 UTC  

Or mislead usually.

2018-05-12 02:21:49 UTC  

Or even brain washed.

2018-05-12 02:22:40 UTC  

i'd say that can be true of many, but getting back to the original point, isolated instances of people acting like morons a sizeable chunk of people does not make.

2018-05-12 02:24:11 UTC  

Yet I hear plenty of communists basically praising the east and making an absurd claim that all the world's problems or east's problems and poverty is simply because of the west and/or capitalism.

2018-05-12 02:24:54 UTC  

And the total lack of research anarchists put in to human nature. Human nature as in what most humans are adapted to.

2018-05-12 02:25:07 UTC  

Stuff like that.

2018-05-12 02:25:34 UTC  

Mr E still wants me to be a child

2018-05-12 02:25:43 UTC  

<:pedo:312063094593683456>

2018-05-12 02:25:47 UTC  

No, if anything I wish you were an adult.

2018-05-12 02:25:47 UTC  

if they're saying that capitalism is the cause for many a world's ills, and the seat of capitalism is the west, and the west has exploited the resources of less developed nations in order to increase their own share of capital, than i'd say they're absolutely correct.

2018-05-12 02:26:06 UTC  

As for anarchists and human nature, *read Mutual Aid.*

2018-05-12 02:26:13 UTC  

*please.*

2018-05-12 02:26:14 UTC  

I don't think Mr E actually talks to anyone

2018-05-12 02:26:16 UTC  

Like

2018-05-12 02:26:36 UTC  

I think he just looks at memes and goes "hahaha this is what they think"

2018-05-12 02:26:57 UTC  

Also he doesn't know what human nature is

2018-05-12 02:27:47 UTC  

of course an animal who's locked into an artificially created environment with certain artificial incentives is going to behave according to those circumstances.

2018-05-12 02:28:44 UTC  

this makes judging an animal's "nature" by its performance in an artificial environment with artificial incentives absolute bunk.

2018-05-12 02:31:01 UTC  

but if the animal is reduced to its most basic instinct, that is, survival, then it will take the most advantageous strategy to secure survival.

2018-05-12 02:31:15 UTC  

in a modern society, this often takes the form of cooperation.

2018-05-12 02:32:08 UTC  

i'm not some naive idealist who subscribes to rousseau's musings on how humans are driven by some inherent love for their fellow man to create these exquisite societies, as much as i may like rousseau.

2018-05-12 02:33:23 UTC  

and when societies have been worker controlled, and when they haven't been crushed under the wretched paws of some tyrannical government or porcine capitalist, they've thrived!

2018-05-12 02:35:38 UTC  

Get ready for this intellectual response
