What a sad world we live in where anything left of centre is declared 'radical'. Are there any democratic candidates that are even socialists? I mean even Bernie is a social democrat right? They're all capitalists afaik.

This should really show any observer all they need to know. This is why we need to fight fascists. Because we have created fertile soil for the Seeger's seeds to grow. Because anything left of centre is radical... And because as MLK said - centrists are basically fashy bootlickers... Or words to that effect.

It was more eloquent than that though. It was an important piece of philosophy written on napkins and smuggled out of a dungeon written by a man who believed he was facing imminent death.

In Philosophy of Law we studied the argument of: Do you have a responsibility to obey the law, even if it is wrong? We used Letter from Birmingham Jail from MLK and The Apology of Socrates by Plato to argue the opposing viewpoint. Was a good lesson.

Side note: Martin Luther King was denied a gun permit by his local police department after his house was firebombed. Gun control is and always will be racist.

Sometimes I look at his posts and try to figure out wtf he is talking about. I never actually do. It is vaguely about something, but I don't think he knows what it is either.

The wings are only important on YouTube, the chans, and on a political and religious discussion board on diablo two java script parser dot org.

In terms of the election Ben Shapiro and Churchgirl69 don't really matter. Or Milo. Or any of the stupid shit you seem to think is important as political discourse. Fuck cam. Real problems are being addressed. Border wall, health care, foreign conflicts and entanglements, state biopower in reproductive health, taxes, two supreme court justices, important discourse beyond homophobic bakers is happening.


B-b-but cultural marxists are sowing degeneracy and destroying western culture.

The problem is buddy, that while you can say that homophobic bakers aren't a big issue - a big orange fascist sits in the white house actively reducing the civil rights of LGBT people. It may not matter to you when the president says he wants to define gender based on your genitals at birth or remove trans people from the military or sanctions a government agency with the direct purpose of fighting for the right of people to discriminate against the LGBT community but you don't have to live with the effects of that. Not just it's enaction but the tacit endorsement of transphobic bigotry by the most powerful man in the west.

Healthcare for all is also important ofc... And that's why socialism is important. Because the capitalists, by and large, don't want that to happen. The pharmaceutical companies want to be able to bankrupt you for your cancer meds dude. These are the real issues.

That's pretty sweet. I've treated Kundalini Hypnosis Psychosis twice, which is really fun to say. Zyprexa will close the third eye back it up in a few days so people can get back to their life.

I couldn't remember the exact quote so I made a funny while outlining its basic premise.

Gotta suck being exposed to ideas that aren't just centrists vs right wingers. But there's no need for that kinda insult. You can disagree with me but at least I can write a coherent sentence.

I mean that's almost a fair point.
Capitalism is pretty ubiquitous so I guess opposing it is kinda radical.
Still... Is radical necessarily bad? I mean free market capitalism would have been pretty radical to a feudal lord.

This assumes that the current system is the most successful possible system.

By this logic the first economic system should have never ended
