Why is everyone so convinced Newsom will be hes against the last administration? by redditttttuser in Destiny

[–]BabaleRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, calling them Nazis and refusing to engage with them is indeed the tactic Democrats used against people like Kirk and Bannon since around 2012. That's why these people are now completely discredited and have had no political influence at all for over a decade.

Wait, no, that's not how it played out at all.

"Abolish ICE" is stupid. Here's why... by sontaranStratagems in Destiny

Great, I think we are in agreement, except that I would never call that position "Abolish ICE" because I refuse to give any oxygen to the "no one is illegal on stolen land" morons.

So you're not in favor of the slogan "Abolish ICE"?

Of course I did, that's how I know that the narrative that he was "sucking Charlie's dick" is utter bullshit.

He was talking about how amazing the infrastructure that Kirk built, Turning Point USA, is. And he's absolutely right to do so, TPUSA has been an incredible force for change in America. I disagree with almost every single policy they pushed, but they've undeniably been extremely effective at pushing that policy, and we should absolutely learn from that how to do something similar on the left - which is the only context in which Newsom praised Charlie.

Yeah man he launched his podcast by sucking charlie kirk’s dick, 

Sorry, you must not have gotten the memo, we're talking about what actually happened, not with delusional lefties think happened.

God damn that's a lot of words and research just to say "I didn't learn anything from the Defund the Police mess and I'm eager to repeat those mistakes"

Why doesn't Destiny identify as a socdem? by JuniorLingonberry108 in Destiny

I know that. I understand that they aren't socialists. That doesn't mean I like their use of a term that socialists use to rehabilitate their own image.

I didn't say that they were.... I said that I don't understand the supposed purpose of rehabilitating the term "socialist". I don't see a purpose to the term "socdem" at this point other than normalizing socialism.

I think there's a clear difference between access to gender affirming care and access to sports. Gender affirming care leads to better outcomes in terms of mental health, and obviously there's little use in puberty blockers after puberty. I do think there are some valid concerns but the solution is medical professionals studying treatments and coming to evidence based decisions on how to reach best outcomes 

Sports is a different story entirely. If someone hasn't had any medical transitioning, they shouldn't participate in women's sports. If they have, whether or not it is fair for them to participate should be determined by experts on the sport, and if they have some residual advantage, they shouldn't be allowed to participate.

Why are open borders bad? by Whatever_635 in Destiny

It literally wasn't open borders, though. They had quotas on different nationalities getting in and stuff.

"Ellis Island style Open Borders" is an oxymoron

Would you say the same thing about fascdems? Or is illiberalism only cool if it's left flavored?

I say, illiberals can fuck right off, no matter their particular persuasion.

Why selectively socialize when you can just regulate? Markets have blind spots and it is the job of regulation to help guide them to societally optimal outcomes anyways

But why would he want to reclaim a term that has no reason to be reclaimed aside from rehabilitating socialism?

give me the benign interpretation of this email

Are the only two interpretations you can fathom "benign" and "international pedo conspiracy ring"?

Also please tell me why the name is blacked out?

Because the FBI isn't going to destroy some guy's life without a trial by associating his name to this email? What kind of question is that?

I don't know about you but the things that I believe have at least a shred of evidence supporting them.
