General Politics Discussion (III) [ARCHIVED] • Page 187

i welcome right wingers in this thread. we'd be rehashing arguments from birdman's days rather than from 10 minutes ago

 

Or from even further back, from when we had a few libertarian types haha.

 

Birdman was here? Where is aca?

 

There's no reason to debate people who won't admit they're wrong.

 

I'm talking more specifically about the people who used to be here, no matter what you would say they just wouldn't budge or tilt. It's almost like dealing with a troll that's punching you in the face and you're trying to reason with it but it just keeps punching.

 

Oh, look white people capitalizing off of fear of Muslims:

German-Russian man 'carried out Dortmund attack to make money on stocks then blamed Muslims'

 

Yea, I totally agree. I just feel like it's hopeless to certain people and I'd rather not feel dejected, I have to get the right feels to try.

 

This is the exact reason why folks from the right/centrists don't post in here often. I lurk, and I certainly respect a lot of the information that's presented, but I'd be lying if I said a "mob mentality" doesn't exist.

Also..I may be one of maybe five on the entire site sooo. haha.

 

It's difficult for me to take libertarians or conservatives very seriously, because the bedrock of their philosophy is a tyranny and hierarchy of an elite that prefers subaltern groups stay in their place; in the case of black folks, that place is a space of indiscriminate violence and enslavement.

 

Unmitigated* tyranny and hierarchy, otherwise you're talking about everyone but anarchists

 

I never heard of l.joy Williams until today but she seems pretty dumb, at least in this interview

 

I'd like to participate more, but I'm too anecdotal and I despise Twitter.

 

Grass is the key to everything

Nate Silver saying that the election is too close to call at this point but in the runoff polls, Macron beats everyone, Melenchon beats everyone but Macron, Fillon loses to everyone but Le Pen and Le Pen "would start as at least a 15-point underdog against every potential foe."

I hope we've all learned our many lessons about putting too much faith in polls but hey its something

The French Election Is Way Too Close To Call

 

I didn't realize macron doesn't have like an exact party, it also seems like parties aren't super popular and that's why partially why he's doing so well? Interesting
