Maybe we should rally around those values for a change.

2018-10-08 16:05:37 UTC  

so how do we then break that down?

2018-10-08 16:06:07 UTC  

Get more people to speak up by protecting them from the SJW mob.

2018-10-08 16:06:07 UTC  

I don't feel like we're straight up on a losing streak right now.

I think Peterson actually has the right trajectory- we focus on self stability and work outwards

2018-10-08 16:06:14 UTC  

Personal connections + a large amount of people simply talking and willing to still be cool despite disagreeing.

2018-10-08 16:06:15 UTC  

Maybe a few phyrric victories here and there

2018-10-08 16:06:23 UTC  

Their mobs are their strongest weapon - once that is no longer effective, they lost.

2018-10-08 16:06:35 UTC  

yeah I think Trump is offering you a nice safe span of time to get set up

2018-10-08 16:06:40 UTC  

Internet kills mobs because accountability and doxxing

2018-10-08 16:07:19 UTC  

You can rally around values without being collectivist.

Following the scientific method does not make chemists Marxist.

2018-10-08 16:07:27 UTC  

I would say, keep politically active, but worry less about the media blitz and more about keeping alternative channels open

2018-10-08 16:07:33 UTC  

I think that is a fundamental mischaracterization.

2018-10-08 16:07:42 UTC  

@Beemann Agreed

2018-10-08 16:07:45 UTC  

that distinction was already made, @Undead Mockingbird

2018-10-08 16:08:08 UTC  

but the one thing being stated is that by no means is the solution to fight back along the same lines

2018-10-08 16:08:09 UTC  

Employers need to sack up before we can progress.

2018-10-08 16:08:21 UTC  

"Oh noooo... You're being maligned. Get awayyyyy!! >A<"

2018-10-08 16:08:25 UTC  

Employers will "sack up" when there's social pressure for them to do so

2018-10-08 16:08:28 UTC  

"G-get away from meeeee!"

2018-10-08 16:08:33 UTC  

Then I don't understand why what I said earlier was interpreted to imply we should replace one form of collectivism with another, simply for showing some solidarity in public.

2018-10-08 16:08:39 UTC  

Just imagine Smee's voice, as the voice of all employers

2018-10-08 16:08:43 UTC  

you cant just reee at them and expect progress

2018-10-08 16:08:58 UTC  

it depends on what you mean by "solidarity in public"

2018-10-08 16:09:10 UTC  

Lindsay Graham has been a fantastic boi.

2018-10-08 16:09:20 UTC  

I'd never heard of him, but apparently he was very unpopular until now.

2018-10-08 16:09:29 UTC  

He was on the never-trump train

2018-10-08 16:09:34 UTC  

I feel like what I am sayng keeps being made into a strawman - when, for heaven's sake, did I say we should ree at them?

2018-10-08 16:09:40 UTC  

he's on board now

2018-10-08 16:09:42 UTC  

but they've finally come around.

2018-10-08 16:09:43 UTC  

I was responding to Scrib

2018-10-08 16:09:46 UTC  

Oh lord isn't he.

2018-10-08 16:09:57 UTC  

Solidarity doesn't have to mean blindly accepting that which you disagree with. You can and should call out your own side if they do some stupid shit.

2018-10-08 16:10:04 UTC  

'Maybe we should throw him in water, see if he floats?'

2018-10-08 16:10:12 UTC  

```Employers will "sack up" when there's social pressure for them to do so```

2018-10-08 16:10:14 UTC  

I brought up a very concrete example, that of Jordan Peterson.

2018-10-08 16:10:24 UTC  

Social pressure is what they need to SACK UP against.

2018-10-08 16:10:33 UTC  

How is growing a spine and getting your balls out of your purse being collectivist?

2018-10-08 16:10:34 UTC  

People are fucking pathetic, holy shit.
