Yes it’s so bad democracy is over. What now, what are your steps to revolution? | ||

The guy who most reminds me of oBalde with his "edgelord but I'm also buying into it" approach to politics suddenly realizes how dehumanizing and fucked up fascism is when he gets deported to UK. Incredible that he got ratted out by Laura Loomer, who can now safely be called one of the most powerful women in America. Fascinating timeline. | ||

Incredible that he got ratted out by Laura Loomer, who can now safely be called one of the most powerful women in America. Fascinating timeline. He hasn’t realized anything. He knows he has no motion with current conservative audiences so, like any skilled grifter, is pivoting to a different audience. It doesn’t take a genius to see him trying to land spots in the Gavin Newsom circuit of moderate liberal podcasts. It’s no different from Candice Owens and Charlie Kirk, who might hold conservative beliefs but are clearly staying on message like any good proselytisers and definitely don’t believe everything they are saying if their private stanning of hip hop music is anything to go by. If either of them had been reduced into a motionless empty vessel like Milo, they’d probably start saying some more moderate shit. | ||

If Charlie Kirk wasn't reduced into a 'motionless empty vessel' then I don't know what qualifies. | ||

Sure but can you tell us your personal position on this subject before you are told what to think by fox news ? I'm only asking because with every issue it's the same. 1. Issue comes out in the news 2. Crickets from oblade 3. The geniuses in the white house have a meeting on key talking points to defend their view on the subject 4. Fox news does their thing 5. Oblade repeats the talking points word for word on tl.net I mean we all still remember how you were telling us how the US taking Greenland was an urgent matter of national security... | ||

I never said that was urgent. Are you still reeling about the invasion of Greenland? When I said get a life I meant actually drop the toxic obsession, not double down. By the way, how do you know the talking points of Fox News? I guess you have to watch it, or else you don't and so were BSing. Anyway good luck with that. | ||

That’s the schtick, dy, gh, Oblade all stick too. They are here to attack your position, but never take one themselves. For some reason they think that makes them “win” when it just makes them pathetic and annoying. A bit harsh to Oblade as he will occasionally let his freak flag fly and you get to hear about Iran not existing anymore. But the others will never take a stand. I’m not sure if they have no positions on things or just born without back bones. | ||

Try asking them their question back. You are going to get silence, or a lots words that equal silence. | ||

For all this whining about positions and how they don't make sense, we have to read from the likes of LightSpectra, Jankisa, and Billyboy, how arguing faulty reasoning about another is something they can do but others can't, how opposing positions aren't real/arguable positions genuinely held, and then doubling down on self-serving dismissal of the entire contrary structure. Really, you just have to learn to accept disagreement in an adult manner and incorporate it better in your overall perspective. You don't think there's actual positions because you're too busy dismissing them instead of arguing about them (and sometimes saying why it's pointless to argue). You don't accept that political divides (such as moderate dem vs progressive dem) typically involve each side thinking the other doesn't make logical sense. Welcome to politics. | ||
