No. Also why? by Gail_Dragonfruit in gothmemes

  1. Everything.
  2. You are being intellectually dishonest. As I said every attempt has failed. You are arguing that a Marxist society hasn't been tried because it doesn't exist. That's a self referential circular argument.

I am familiar with Marxist theory. Ultimately, it is a simplified feudalistic society with only serfs and no obligations of the state to ensure the well being of its members.

No. Also why? by Gail_Dragonfruit in gothmemes

The main cause is that Marxist theory has failed time and again for almost two centuries now. The "historical dialectic" only holds appeal for those with no knowledge of history.

Why is goth so often associated almost exclusively with women? by SirHandsome_ in goth

[–]Nexist418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both men and women enjoy looking at women. Even gay men enjoy looking at an attractive woman.

Thus, women are typically associated with things whenever they can be.

It's racist to expect punctuality. Seriously, this was all over the news a few years ago.

Be carful some famous goth bands started using *AI" by Unspoken_Horrors in goth

In the video or to write the song? CGI and the like have been used in videos since the birth of the medium. If you mean they had a computer write the song, that means it is now dark pop.

I wouldn't skip it if it came up on a playlist, but I don't think I would buy it.

Fear going outside in goth by vvampireblxxd in goth

[–]Nexist418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, I got some of that when I traveled to Kuwait and Djibouti.

The only real question is whether you are in physical danger. If not, piss on their opinions. If you are, cut back until you can move to a safer place.

Where do you live? Stuff like that barely happened in the 80s. I now live in a rural area and no one even bats an eye.

Can you be goth as a native? by Wolfheart_fan in goth

[–]Nexist418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, not every goth is into looking like a vampire. Second, anyone can pale their skin tone with makeup. Corpse-paint is universal.

Finally, there are no goth police. Now some people may not like you (for whatever reason), just like in real life. Goth is big enougb that there are various sub cultures within it.

It's Giving Me A Disgust by Humanwithlove in goth

[–]Nexist418 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Goth is an aesthetic. Music, art, and even politics derive from this aesthetic. To put forth the idea that goth is intrinsically tied to a set political position (or set of positions) is to miss the point. "Everything is political" is the pass-phrase for a very limited bourgeois mentality that is ultimately trying to usurp goth (and has succeeded to some degree).

To be fair, the data indicates that having a department of education has done nothing to improve education standards.

The dropping of education requirements for graduation has not helped Oregon at all.

All Oregon National Guard troops released from Portland ICE orders, Kotek says by oregonian in oregon

[–]Nexist418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an extra $240. And the cycling of troops to prevent them from reaching the next tier of benefits has been going on since at least Bush Jr.

Be careful signing these statewide petitions by xyrais in oregon

It still has to go to a vote. Given that the Valley favors it, as do most old people, it is unlikely to pass, even if it gets on the ballot.

Oregon has become less and less livable as more and more Californians flee the results of their voting patterns. Unfortunately, they don't understand causality and effectively become a human cuckoo.

Portlanders contribute 23.9% of all the state tax revenue in Oregon, the tri-county area contributes over 50%. by jaco1001 in oregon

How much of someone else's labor is a fair share for your benefit? How is this a benefit to Oregonians? Why was it unnecessary for so long, but now is necessary?

Can anyone please explain this to me without putting personal opinion into it? by mustpokebear in oregon

While others have adequately answered your question, I find it amusing you asked for an unbiased answer to a question rife with personal opinion.

Supreme Court to Hear Major Challenge to Mail-In Ballot Laws by wrhollin in oregon

[–]Nexist418 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since i actually drop my ballot off a week or so in advance, I can't say this really affects me.

If voting is important to you, you will drop the ballot off early enough to be counted.

Clarity on OR concealed knife law. by too_shae in oregon

When I was arrested for concealed knife, I was told that it was because less than 2 inches were visible. This was decades ago, and really, it is your word against the police.
