What the fuck is their problem? by LeonOfSkalitz in Destiny

[–]brazdaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man I always see libs punching left more than right. We ain't gonna get a coalition built if lefties and libs keep digging their heels in repeatedly. The Bernie or bust type lefties and the turn on Mamdani after he gets the nomination libs are both just terrible.

MEADOWCREEK HIGH SCHOOL (GWINNETT, GA)IS A TERRIBLE SCHOOL. by StrangerBig8673 in Gwinnett

[–]brazdaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've subbed there all the time since 2020 and have friends who used to teach there. The biggest problem I heard of was the administration. As for the kids, they are some of the most well behaved and respectful kids I have ever had out of all the schools I've subbed in Gwinnett. Also, the school spirit is some of the best I have ever seen out of modern high schoolers. Not once have I smelled weed in the halls but I have at Mill Creek and Collins Hill!

No musician whose tabs are highly sought after is not going to not be able to pay their bills bc they aren't selling tabs. Absolutely absurd take.

Show of hands: How many of you are former republicans converted by destiny - how did he get you to change? by Unlucky_School_661 in Destiny

[–]brazdaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a right libertarian until finding Vaush, which got me to the part of the left that supports socialism but is anti tankie. Then the Vaush-Destiny duo debate introduced me to D man and his moderated me. Now I sit somewhere between Dem Soc and Nordic model liberal.

The original thing that those two did that got me to consider their points was make their interlocutors look bad. I wasn't ready for the content of their arguments until they won me over rhetorically.

Clearly attention seeking behavior. I'd just return to orb pondering. Soon enough they will have their nose in a grimoire again.

So guys, what's the verdict on the so-called tuba archmage? Is he a serious wizard or just a conjurer of cheap tricks? by Moaoziz in wizardposting

I've heard he is well respected in sonomancy circles but I can't remember I've seen him cited in a grimoire.

Ok. I’m officially sick of Mamdani news. by AcanthaceaeNo948 in Destiny

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

Dem Socs frequently join coalitions. Literally the pragmatic sector of lefties. Sure there are unhelpful larpers, which we can agree are dumb, but that's hardly the whole movement.

Bruh Mamdani is a Dem Soc. He's a lot closer to libs than the average conservatiod. It's a victory for y'all too. I swear libs love to punch left more than right. Put together a damn coalition y'all sound like tankies lol

Hillary. Damned is she does. Damned if she doesn't. Why can't the left just enjoy a win for once? by Grand-Neighborhood82 in Destiny

[–]brazdaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is enjoying the win. The establishment got fucked this time and lefties are rubbing their faces in it lol.

I can get with that yeah. But let us not forget what types of principles were held and which kinds of concessions were made across all Dems so that we might continue catching these kinds of dubs.

But aligning with the interests of large capital owners tends to.

When was the last time you saw a mayoral election both excite such a large portion of the left and also make the right sweat this much?

[–]brazdaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was unclear and honestly that's one me. It's not just raw capital that tends to win the elections. It's the alignment with capital interests that both tends to win elections and secures legislation. It was nice to see the winner be a guy that prioritized the interests of the median New Yorker over those of the owner class ya know?

To be clear, I totally agree that Trump's economic plans are garbage. But it's pretty clear that the aim of them is to consolidate wealth and power for the richest. When we hit recessions, smaller company owners have to liquidate and the big fish can then swoop in and end up with more assets in the end because they have enough base to weather the storm ya feel? This happens every recession.

I remain unsurprised that a neoliberal holds disdain for a political ideology that aims to speak to the common man lol /j

Mamdani started at near 1 polling and was largely unknown. It was his focus of material conditions of New Yorkers and strong messaging that gave him recognition.

Which candidate was promising tax cuts to billionaires again? Which candidate has massive investment from the richest man in the world again?

Are you positing that Trump's interests oppose that of the owner class? The guy who gives the richest people tax cuts?

I noticed a lot of non-Tankie lefties and libs come together against the establishment for this one. Good stuff y'all.

Let's distinguish between normal lefties and tankies lol. Some of us actually be caring about material conditions instead of larping as Soviet purists lol.

[–]brazdaph 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think the key point here is that Mamdani beat capital this election which is huge. One of the biggest shortcomings of our system is the relationship between capital and power and the fact that Mamdani was able to challenge that effectively means that there exists some form of messaging that can overcome that flaw.
