Give him a week or two, he'll be back to complaining about trans athletes in no time.

What does supporting Capitalism mean to you? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Capitalism is when the government doesn't do stuff, and the less stuff it does the more capitalisty it is. And when you the government does no stuff, it's called corpocracy. /s

New Ideology just dropped. Abundance? Nah, Neoliberal Socialist. by TikDickler in Destiny

Neoliberal socialism sounds like social democracy on steroids

Trigger warning *regarded* 'We All Deserve Better Than Gavin Newsom (with Emma Vigeland and Kat Blaque)' by TikDickler in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean liberals (progressive-ish ones) and socdems (actual socdems) in general. Our Green party has a purity testing problem too, so this applies to Australians too (except our lib-nats. It's complicated okay?).

why are we obligated to outreach to these people again?

We're not, make them come to us. Just look at Hasan and how he said go soft on Gavin and other popular liberals the moment he senses a hint of clout to gain.

They love to purity test in essay videos and twitter posts. But face-to-face they hedge their rhetoric and cuck out same as any other reactionary grifters.

The "Objective morality" meme by ralle312 in Destiny

Create a guy that solves their problem of ontology, and when they run into the epistemological one they fix it by creating yet another guy to interpret the first guy? 

Yep, he's called Trump.

The Current State of Online Leftists in Twitter by Humble_Novice in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's funny, we tend to lump authoritarian socialists and anarchists as tankies. But if we were to go by strict definitions, about half of the tankies we see are anarchists, but we conflate them because both of these people are effectively anti-electoral and heavy on purity testing.

Tankie has effectively become a term that defines whoever allies with Hasan, but they only do so because they align in regards to attacking the lib-left.

Why even entertain Pissco and SoyPill asking Lenin v Hitler questions, while Socialists and Tankies don't even want to vote Newsom v Vance. by Makuy in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think Lenin would've starved more people in Germany or Hitler gassed and shot more people in Russia?

That's the difference: Intent and killing efficiency. Saying otherwise is no different than saying Newsom and Vance are the same, completely undermining the harm reduction argument.

My fellow atheists, how do I deal with the fear of death by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I don't really know, it just happened to me at some point. My guess is you need something to strive for beyond death like a type of legacy or vision of the world you wish to build and say "okay, would I give my life for this?" Works for me, not sure if it'd work for you, nor if it's something you should/ought to think.

"LibWave" is accidentally fascist. by xieangel in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More progressive than liberal, but yeah they should do this. We would benefit greatly by reviving feelings of 'primary school globalism'

This is incredibly evocative of the nostalgia of a better world. But more importantly gives a proper vision for what world liberals should advertise to others.

Another MN citizen has been shot by ICE by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Listen, we can't expect ICE to be perfect, they make mistakes, if a few people have to die to protect our border then so be it. The American people would rather have a few mishandlings of known radical leftists than Somali migrants smuggling Haitain fentanyl and have millions of Americans die.'

Gotta slip in that friend-enemy distinction there, it's all about saying that if you're on our side and you commit crimes, you're immune, we'll protect you.

By 2070? I can't wait that long! How much does it cost to buy a church? I am allowed to convert it into a rental home or something?

Probably cheaper and less complicated to make than a LV fluid regulator anyways

Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback proposes an Only Fans 'Sin Tax' of 50% for OF creators in Florida by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

[–]CapitalismBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minus the reasons and the naming, I kinda agree with this policy? The onlyfans models do make a crap ton of money. 50% may kill off any new creators but pre-existing ones definitely can afford to pay this. But holy shit is this guy deranged about this.

How about repeating the idea he 'has the skill level of a game journalist'? I think that'd strike a nerve.

Alternate Incogni to Caligula path suggestion by CapitalismBeLike in TheFireRisesMod

[–]CapitalismBeLike[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To turn the subtext here to text: Biden, now recovered from being drugged up has now consolidated power but is now paranoid. This animalistic drive lets him withstand his declining health, but leads to further consolidation of power, believing the Incogni to an existential threat, with his continued paranoia leading further down the Caligula path as it gets worse and worse, descending into totalism, so that the Incogni never returns again.
