So basically 3 years after it became national news and everyone agreed it was a problem, a small part of it finally gets fixed... by the private sector. Great argument against government power, that conservatives could capitalize on if they still cared about that sort of thing.

And that's why I'm still mostly libertarian.  Relying on government to get things done just isn't efficient.

All libertarians should be airdropped on a remote island. Those who survive the impact will fight, and the sole survivor of this ordeal (the Ur-Libertarian) will be given a fifth of a bitcoin

Mmmk. I'm fine with just throwing commies from helicopters.

This is obviously a comment made only in reply to a consciously absurd post and not a sincere expression of belief or desire to kill.

I'd be more willing to believe that if the alternative(that he's not at all uncomfortable with mass murdering communists and lowkey is cool with people like pinochet) weren't completely consistent with his character(and also deliberately echoing a specific dictators atrocities in response to a facetious and absurd post is kind of unpleasant).

Regarding the "specific" dictator, the idea of throwing communists, the corrupt, etc. from helicopters has reached a point where it is a repeated motif ("meme" if you will) of right-wing authoritarianism. I can't speak for his character (and I assume I've seen a version of the defenses you're talking about, if from other posters), but most (a) most defenses of non-democratic regimes tend to play off deaths from repression as "regrettable", and (b) I refer again to the context of his comment, which I think makes clear the intention. People saying "guillotine" and "gulag" are referring to specific historical phenomena, but I cannot guarantee they seek a return to those mechanisms.

Probably not, and if it does, it won't be Bolsonaro's fold, but the forces that brought him to power. The corrupt, balkanized and fractioned political field made the road clear for populist candidates to arise out of the field. Clearly, something has went terribly wrong in Brazil. I believe the democracy already isn't strong in Brazil. Lula for example was forbidden to run, and the large amount of corrupt politicians in Latin-America bother me a lot. But it isn't a good evolution either. Erdogan, Putin and Trump however are all democratically elected, and they're all still democratic, so no democracy isn't going to die out soon, unless you Russia, Hungary and Turkey not as democracies... In that case, it is. But i believe America isn't any different than Putin's Russia, they're all authoritarian democracies directed by market liberal policies which hurt the people, the environment and the climate.

A. He claims to be a libertarian. B. being a common feature of an ideology does not make something okay(I doubt this forum would tolerate advocating for the killing of all nazis, though I personally feel that genocidal ideologies don't deserve protections against that kind of vitriol). And I'd hope that this forum wouldn't consider it okay to post certain other repeating motifs of far/alt right authoritarianism because of their memetic status.

At the risk of being a "both sideser", this is already a thing for the left. "Drone" was also quite common in the latter Obama years, to relatively little offense. There was even a "defenstrate" phase (before my time), which if I recall is a practice with a particularly ugly past.

EDIT: As to Dabaev's real or alleged libertarianism, it's already quite common to paint the ideology as a defense of capitalistic authoritarianism, so it seems natural that one would play into that regardless of real sympathies. But again, I can speak for no one's character on this. the point is that he was told his people should be set to die on an island or whatever and he returned in kind.

What about his character is "completely consistent" with throwing people out of helicopters?! 

He's made multiple statements that make it clear that he isn't all that uncomfortable with right wing dictatorship. Also its kind of ridiculous to pretend that was an ironic post at all and its sad that I've even felt it worth arguing.

There is no “pretend” here.

Not only does he offer bad content, but he’s also abrasive!

A lot of 2016 style arguments ITT. Trump basically showed that a very high number of Hispanic voters don’t give a sh**t about immigrant bashing since they themselves support it. Any Republican will get 25%+ of them to their side no matter how much white liberals complain.

Latinx =/= Mexican, even though they're practically synonymous in Technocracy Timmy's neck of the woods.

This is true since nobody is Latinx.

Its funny how white liberals decided that Latinos’ word for themselves is sexist and invented a new word.  99% of the time I hear Latinx its not from a latino.

"Latino" is a term literally manufactured by the LA Times in the 90s. (well, they actually started using it in the 80s, but they started to really push it in the 90s) It was originally used as a neuter term, since it was an English fabrication, not a Spanish one. "Latina" came afterwards. Granted, "Hispanic", in the American sense, was also a fabrication.

I was once in a breakfast restaurant where a fellow guest was wearing what I can only guess was a sort of Mexican nationalist shirt, denouncing both the label “Latino” and “Hispanic” for different reasons. The shirt was pretty absurd, claiming that “Latino” included people from the Latin-speaking parts of Europe. I guess my Sicilian heritage should count.

Smart move. They have a quickly aging population and cant replace their numbers fast enough. At least with immigration, they can stop an economic catastrophe.

Culture and religion is more important than money. Something marxists like you don't seem to understand.

Figures osr would put apost in here that dares to claim there's anything more important than money.

You didnt get my point did you lmao ,I bolded those because of the Marxist claim. The whole point of Marxists is they hate capitalism lol.


BTW: I think Family is the most important thing

I can't tell you what the poster who wrote this thought--as I recall the quote in his signature indicates some terrible form of national socialism is his ideology--but one is often attempted to equate the materialism of modern liberalism with the strident materialism of Marxism.

I really think AOC is becoming the Sarah Palin of the left. She’s not well-articulate and has become a focal hate target of the right. Plus she’s just a bartender who accidentally won what started out as a vanity campaign. She needs to be primaried or have her mouth duct taped shut.

A Democrat bringing up someone as a bartender after college to make ends meet when her family was literally struggling to keep afloat as a line of attack? Now I've seen everything.

Cc: Irony Oreman for “she’s not well-articulate”.

Full-on anti-Catholic bigotry here:

As far as I can tell, the Roman Catholic Church has made three main contributions to American life:

(1) Caused needless human suffering with unreasoned opposition to family planning of any kind.

(2) Physically and mentally destroyed untold numbers of children through sexual molestation and predation by priests.

(3) Established private K-12 schools that do not education the neediest of children, but rather provide a safe space for privileged, racist whites. This is particularly true in cities in Southern and Border states.

The results of the third were on full display during this incident.

Saddened to see that Kamala Harris's and Mazie Hirono's messages of hate have spread.

Don't feel singled out here. Indy Texas promotes bigotry towards people of all creeds. By far the worst offender on this site who should have been banned long ago.

Even by your standards of semi funny trolling - - take a lesson from Santander - - this is lame.

If you were to go solely by the list of groups Indy has launched screeds against...

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

His post in this case is correct though.

As its main contributions? No.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

His post in this case is correct though.

And the anti-Catholic bigotry continues.

You can't be "bigoted" against an organization. It's also not bigotry to oppose the Republican Party, Democratic Party, Southern Baptist Convention, NARAL, the NRA, etc.

So you're going to excuse the poster writing "main contributions"?  It's pretty evident that the poster's opinions extend beyond the Church itself.  Point #1 is evidence of that, as the poster portrays pro-life Catholics, who cite faith as their reasons for opposing abortions, as purposefully making women suffer.  Point #3 claims that the Catholic Church and, therefore, Catholics actively seek to establish schools that promote racism, a gross and disgusting claim to make. 

You can oppose the ideals of an organization, yes (though it's laughable that you included four non-religious or non-ethnic-based organizations up there to make your point), but when you claim that the Roman Catholic Church has only primarily done three terrible things in America, you are, in essence, tying the faith to those who practice it and are accusing all of those who follow the Church of carrying out these things or supporting them (two of which, Points #1 and #3, are not accurate and blatant attempts to call Catholics abusers of women and promoters of racism).

Please do not support absolute trash and bigotry like that post's content and then attempt to defend it by saying "But he was only attacking the institution, not the people!!!"  Furthermore, the fact that you agree with his post in its entirety, that the MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS of the Church are those three points, even if you are only referring to the Church, is certainly telling.

BRTD has always publicly hated Catholics, you see. He has revealed nothing that he didn't first reveal more than a decade ago when hating on every Catholic nation.

But he has.

But the government shouldn't be in the buisness of building housing. It's expensive and it blights cities. The only reason houses are expensive is because developers can't build the mlikns of unites of housing the market demands. Liberalize zoning, and every city in the country would have one bedroom apartments at below $1,000 per month. For the few people who can't afford that, we can turn to solutions like tax credits.

The most revealing part is that Blairite thinks everybody should live in a one bedroom flat. I mean, I (and I assume Blairite)) wouldn't because I'm a childless young adult, but has he considered that a lot of people, um, plan to procreate?

Procreation is never part of the plan for these types.

Guess it’s Jill Stein 2020 for me!

I mean, you already support Gabbard, so you might as well vote for another Russia shill in the GE.

Please don’t ever quote me again. I don’t care about your opinions in the slightest, and this is why I have you on ignore.

"I have you on ignore which is why I get triggered by posts you make."

Even beyond that, this whole thing is a very concerning new Internet trend that comes across as borderline sociopathic aggression in response to rather bland statements.

What can you expect from this generation?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Lmao this is absolutely ridiculous.

Thread: 11 year old rape victim forced to carry to term thanks to Ohio law.

Or: innocent child allowed to live their life thanks to Ohio law.

That's a good post.  The solution to rape cannot be murdering an innocent third party.

Do you not support abortions in instances of rape. I did not think it was possible to be that much of an extremist

Not everywhere is New Jersey.

I don’t think it’s particularly pertinent if “no one cares”. The rest of Congress at least feels slightly inclined toward pretending to care, leaving Omar (among others) taking a principled stand not to care. She wants to use the excuse of the Native Americans (while seemingly failing to introduce comparable legislation to that effect) for refusing to give a rat’s ass about “non-Western” atrocities.

One would first have to contradict the Turkish government’s version of events to condemn them, no?

Thank you, Scott, for pulling the footage. It really is ridiculous that PJ’s first ever incarnation was as a Trump supporter and everyone pretends this didn’t happen. Even if it was “ironic” (), it has never been addressed and he transitioned out of it just in time. Hilarious that OSR, who I don’t know to have ever understood sarcasm, apparently thinks PJ’s “irony” was obvious.

It's very clearly not irony. There is nothing ironic about deciding between Trump and Kasich. The posts make genuine rationales and cite overall agreement on the issues and point out Trump's shortcomings. The all caps trolling is a feature of both types of supporters.

Exactly. As odd as it always seemed from the perspective of the casual observer, Trump as the liberal choice on all but immigration was an underlying theme of the primary battle, and someone choosing among him, Kasich, and Christie resembles the choice that many NE GOP members made. I can easily see it being the same choice that a moderate hero admirer from across the way with a spectator’s level of interest would make.

Correct, it is important to preserve your religion. Christians would be wise to implement similarly strong views against leaving Christianity. (I don't mean not going to church, I mean converting to another faith)

Not my fault you're an Islamophobe.

The vast majority of Muslims dont use a medieval interperation of their religion so they wouldnt be affected by what Im proposing, only the ones who do would.


In fact I would support banning people in general from high-risk nations who have a medieval interperation of their religion(Any religion) from immigrating here period.

“Conservative”: “We should only have liberal immigrants.”

Its not conservative to support things like forcing women to cover up, laws against converting etc. Most conservatives even on the right here have an interperation which was common back in the 1950s which is far far different than having a medieval interperation of their religion.

Now I’m very confused, since I thought you told me the 1950s were liberal.

You people with your conspiracy theories.  My god.  I don't see any Buttigieg supporters saying the recanvass was done to stop Buttigieg from retaking the lead.

I don't see any Buttigieg supporters anywhere in Democratic party politics. Because they're either Republicans or they spend all of their time in wine caves.

Buttigieg supporters are either yuppies who either ended up lucky after college and didnt have to struggle like other millenials for whatever reason like being trust fund babies, having great degrees, or connections like Tara mcgowan who enriched herself from her being a ex hillary staffer and going on to get Hillary's dark money and ended up creating the sh**tty app that crashed and coincidentially is married to a person on the buttigieg camp . or Gen X especially socially liberal economically center-right wine moms.  Or the worst of identity politics.

The activist left wants to pretend that right-wingers voting in a Democratic primary is a bad thing.

This whole thread goes into absurdity when computer and another  RINO pretend like white southern Democrats in the 1900’s were lefties and Vermont Republicans in power were normal conservatives like today

 https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=368864.0

bruh, what? do you seriously not realize that Vermont of 2020 is very, very different from where it was in 1920?
Don't tell me you believe in the 'PARTIES SWITCHED PLATFORMS' myth.

I believe that people changed their parties en mass, not their views, BRO
