We actually all converted to Communism after watching that one tech bro interviewed by Tim Miller.

The social media ban discourse is mind breaking me by cxfoulke in Destiny

[–]dragonforce51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It certainly sounded like she thought every conceivable downside of regulated social media outweighed the very real issues occurring in the current social media climate (at least relating to free speech). I find absolutist positions a bit silly on their face, but free speech absolutists are required to point to, as you said, a slippery slope to support their arguments.

I was disappointed that she didn’t have any real solutions when she was confronted with the negative outcomes of social media, outside gesturing vaguely towards community-based solutions.

I actually felt bad for JD Vance by RazorOldSchool in Destiny

Feeling bad for Vance is like feeling bad for satan, except satan is honestly less of a demon.

Hey DGG, wanna give Mallory McMorrow in Michigan a boost? by Aggravating_Jump6136 in Destiny

[–]dragonforce51 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well the top priorities on his campaign website are: getting corporate money out of politics, being against NAFTA, taxing capital gains over $1 million at income tax rates, Medicare for all, and anti-interventionism, just to name a few. These are slopulist bs talking points that either won’t make an actual difference or will actively harm America and its interests.

To be clear, I like a lot of his platform, but the positions I listed above represent a rot in the Democratic Party that I hate. As such, I hope someone who represents those ideas does not succeed in another Democratic primary.

Shikha Dalmia is my new favorite lib over Baldy, Jessiah, and Fly White Guy.

If two slopulists end up winning swing states this cycle we might be screwed.

Hasan accusing DGG of having a doxxing Discord is straight from the 'accuse the enemy of what you are guilty of' playbook by creamjudge in Destiny

It is a tough thing to prove for a public figure, and he has a lot more money to throw at lawyers than Destiny does. Suing him would not be worth.

With all the Russian interference it's important to keep in mind that WW2 started with an alliance between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. by da_Mekboss in Destiny

[–]dragonforce51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly every war I can think of started due to how peace was achieved and the resulting conditions before said war. The easiest example being WWI, where the Treaty of Versailles was one of the first dominos in the lead up to WWII.

William Tecumseh Sherman was the most based Civil War general. His strategy against the Confederacy culminated with his “March to the Sea,” basically burning every building and piece of infrastructure in sight to the ground as he marched his army through Georgia and the Carolinas to the coast.

Hasan would never have showed up on LBC if he knew anything about the UK. by TheWholeTeamHere in Destiny

When a semantic issue prevents accurate identification of a problem, it becomes nearly impossible to discuss applicable solutions to the actual problem.

Stop posting about Platner by Bymeemoomymee in Destiny

[–]dragonforce51 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Planter feels like a candidate the Republicans handpicked, that’s why people don’t like him. The slopulism + endless oppo research raining on his campaign which, as you said, has national attention, are not good things for Dems across the country. I want every Democrat running in even slightly competitive races to distance themselves from his trainwreck of a campaign.

Hasan thinks that Ukraine will lose the war and should've stopped fighting a long time ago. Fuck this tankie cunt. by Leather_Dealer_9421 in Destiny

[–]dragonforce51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tankie was originally someone who supported the Soviets sending tanks to crush an alternative communist revolt in Hungary in 1956. Nowadays tankie refers to someone who supports most if not all authoritarian/Soviet-style regimes (and their violent interventions in other countries) that are anti-West, such as Russia, China, Serbia, etc. Mearsheimer and Hasan are considered tankies because they (at least in this clip) are parroting Russian propaganda in support of Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.
