If you don't want to go off half cocked have you considered the use of nuclear weapons against all major population centers?

2018-09-21 01:45:54 UTC  

I didn't say helicopter all lefties either

2018-09-21 01:46:07 UTC  

@Beemann Now that you mention it...

2018-09-21 01:46:19 UTC  

not a half bad idea.

2018-09-21 01:46:22 UTC  

The left will always survive as long as we have a two party system and the right is still around. The hope is just to boot the crazies out of the left

2018-09-21 01:46:24 UTC  

But there is a need to hit specific targets to undermine the power imbalance

2018-09-21 01:46:59 UTC  

I think media is an own goal. They're wholly dependent on Trump now

2018-09-21 01:47:18 UTC  

But yeah, I've seen more and more people over the last year who want to use the left's tactics against them, and while I think that would work in the short term I fear for what it would bring in the long term. And I'm not willing to give up on my principles like that

2018-09-21 01:47:23 UTC  

The good news is that the legal system is still largely intact, so corruption, violence, and certain forms of misrepresentation can be tried and righted in a court.

2018-09-21 01:47:25 UTC  

Which leaves us with Academia and basically HR

2018-09-21 01:47:26 UTC  

A couple of Project Veritas clones would be great.

2018-09-21 01:47:38 UTC  

(At some monetary cost)

2018-09-21 01:47:44 UTC  

Infiltrate and expose. Make lefties scared of each other.

2018-09-21 01:47:47 UTC  

I think it depends on what it means when you say "the left's tactics"

2018-09-21 01:48:13 UTC  

Tape conversations.

2018-09-21 01:48:19 UTC  

I mean the extremist left. Basically everything we complain about.

2018-09-21 01:48:21 UTC  

I think generally they mean dishonesty, misrepresentation, and possibly violence.

2018-09-21 01:48:35 UTC  

Right, you don't need any of those though

2018-09-21 01:48:50 UTC  

You need examination, application of standards and actual communal support

2018-09-21 01:48:50 UTC  

Lindsay Shepherd was incredibly disruptive from a single ~30 minute taped conversation.

2018-09-21 01:48:56 UTC  

The problem is, those tactics are designed to produce narratives which energize the left in particular.

2018-09-21 01:49:01 UTC  

And yeah, record all your shit

2018-09-21 01:49:15 UTC  

recording your shit is not a partisan issue, it's a matter of basic prudence.

2018-09-21 01:49:36 UTC  

Sure, but it disproportionately hits the far left

2018-09-21 01:49:37 UTC  

If it is legal for you to record your conversations (which is unfortunately not the case in many places), then you should do it.

2018-09-21 01:49:55 UTC  

Particularly in institutions they depend on

2018-09-21 01:49:57 UTC  

it is so cheap these days

2018-09-21 01:50:08 UTC  

there is no excuse except the legality

2018-09-21 01:50:12 UTC  

Everyone has a phone

2018-09-21 01:50:22 UTC  

well, recording on your phone is a bad way to go

2018-09-21 01:50:31 UTC  

since it encourages you to pick and choose when to record

2018-09-21 01:50:53 UTC  

It's not necessarily ideal, sure

2018-09-21 01:50:59 UTC  

But it works

2018-09-21 01:51:01 UTC  

sure

2018-09-21 01:51:06 UTC  

if it's all you have, definitely

2018-09-21 01:51:15 UTC  

just keep in mind what effect convenience has on things

2018-09-21 01:51:36 UTC  

I'm sure the folks over in <#467577750325297162> will tell you all about the effect of convenience on _compliance with a regimen_.

2018-09-21 02:14:26 UTC  

ugh swedish airplane lady face is infuriatingly dumb looking

2018-09-21 02:46:32 UTC  

"The Gender Order of Economics" - I feel like I've got a riveting read ahead of me. 😃

2018-09-21 02:50:23 UTC  

Do report back

2018-09-21 02:53:42 UTC  

Oh geez. What class is this?
