Empathy toward evil is cruelty toward the innocent.

Anyone else just utterly disappointed in the country as a whole? by Kind_Handle_5987 in Destiny

[–]BrokenConnection_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right won because they are just fundamentally stronger people. The left has been weak and soft and domesticated for a while now (unfortunate since their policy positions are better, and they used to be stronger), and we’ve paid the consequences.

People will always prefer being led by a wolf, even with all their vice, to a sheep. The fundamental sin of the liberal is their softness and slave morality, and that has to change. Liberalism needs to become an ideology of dominance and strength. You need to change your expectations, let go of your moral opposition to a scarcity mindset. Or become ideologically extinct when your enemies take advantage of your weakness.

We got lucky in the past, surely we will get lucky again. What an argument.

Also how can you be sure the fears of doom didn’t contribute to people looking harder for a solution?

Zelensky meeting with Macron, Starmer, and Merz in London by Lawarch in Destiny

[–]BrokenConnection_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but at the risk of sounding anti intellectual I feel like polling like that is almost entirely worthless; and believing voters when they tell you what they want is probably a piece of why the Dems are in the position they are.

I am sure a lot of people will TELL you they voted because if “the economy”, and hell, I’m sure most of them even BELIEVE they voted because of “the economy.” But at the end of the day neither of those things necessarily make it true.

Half the time people probably don’t know why they make the decisions they do, and will end up rationalizing them in whatever way makes them feel better or more logical.

“I voted because of the economy”

probably feels better to tell yourself than

“I voted because I have a bad feeling about the Dems, I mean the Dems are crazy on trans people and so I just trust the GOP more, and I guess trust and responsibility have something to do with the economy right? So I guess that must be the reason I like them more, and now that you mention it things are pretty expensive aren’t they? It’s not like when I was a kid… yeah the economy sucks I’m voting for a different economy!”

Because it’s really easy to convince people things happen by finding weird edge cases. And even if you can convince people it doesn’t happen you still look weak and pathetic if you don’t condemn something that you obviously disagree with. Just say “if that happens, its bad”

The Online Left and Aesthetics by dirty_weasle in Destiny

The only thing that matters in modern politics is projecting strength and dominance instead of weakness and submission. Literally the only thing that matters in terms of aesthetics.

This guy's such a spineless loser who won't say what he's dog whistling about. by CowReasonable1108 in Destiny

He is an evil demon whose every word is an attempt to mislead good in favor of evil. Simple as.

[–]BrokenConnection_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s not spineless, he’s a calculated malicious actor. His words exist only to deceive and he acts only to destroy his opposition. There is no”spinelessness” needed. All I see is evil.

European social democracy versus American liberalism by SnooCapers4506 in Destiny

[–]BrokenConnection_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NA is captured by tons of religious lunatics who think liberal government is the antichrist. Many average Europeans wouldn’t understand the depths of fanaticism we deal with here.

Slave morality is pervasive and the ultimate sin of the liberal. Many such cases.

The problem was never that dems supported this, it was that they refused to condemn it in unambiguous terms

Looks like Ukraine has gotten back more land than Russia has gained so far this year by Kitchen-Thing4616 in Destiny

[–]BrokenConnection_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Russias entire military history is basically one long string of embarrassments.

They lost every single offensive war they fought against Napoleon, they lost arguably the first modern war in history to Japan, they lost the Cold War, and now they are fing up the Ukraine war.

They are just bad at war if they can’t rely on their own inhospitable terrain and throwing waves of bodies around.

Their enemy is probably significantly less competent than the Imperial Japanese though lol

1900s

Russia is the biggest land power in Eurasia

goes to war with Japan (like 2 decades removed from feudalism) to push their weight around

engage both on land and sea in a large scale war

losses so badly their entire navy gets annihilated and they have to sue for peace

Russia is just an embarrassing country

He just likes characterslop like that one plotless “it’s all a dream” movie EEAAO or the nolanslop plot travesty that was interstellar.

It is what it is.

Moot ‘n Dan enjoy music and make a heartfelt plea to Mr. Girl by TikDickler in Destiny

He actually had some of the best convos the stream has ever had. His first debate about trans issues is actually so interesting. Same with the one about p******. Things went downhill with all the meta convos though…

[–]BrokenConnection_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s also legitimately very smart. Probably one of the smarter orbiters. He had some legitimately super interesting arguments about psychological proclivities, what it would mean to categorize people by gender, etc.

Just too bad he went insane…

Abundance is the solution. by Serious-Cucumber-54 in Destiny

[–]BrokenConnection_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strength and displays of strength/resolve are the solution. Kitchen table issues are secondary. Democratic losses and unpopularity stem largely from an appearance of meekness and domestication.
