U kidding right?
Not at all. Democrats are as leftist as I am queen Elisabeth.

Do you want an explanation ?


Of course there is a difference if you're poly and are in several relationships and if you're just okay with your gf having multiple partners which would make you a cuck in result.
"being c*cked" is a slang term meaning "being cheated".

You are not cheated on when there is consent and trust mate, that's not how relationships work.


You are not understanding. I'm not poly, i'm simply not against experimenting things and if my partner want to do the same and we are BOTH okay (and only on that condition, which will probably won't happen because I don't really like the idea) this will be a simple experiment and nothing more.

You don't know yourself and don't seem at all confident with your sexuality mate (since you are using the most incel term there is to describe simple caudaulism), so don't try to lecture me on mine

Deal ?

:kata:


1.) Why did you not completely quote my sentence instead of leaving things out?
Because I'm concentrated on your injonction to work. I don't need more. What you said didn't negate this injonction.

2.) Oh, so if your friend said "Dude, you finally need fresh air. Go out, try to get a job, try interacting with people", you would view him as a rightist?
Yup. Trust me that I won't have someone like that in my relationships. I only keep people who have empathy and don't push their meritocratic belief system on others.

At least you're trying to give arguments + you are not, aside of your delusions, even toxic.
As long as our posts don't turn into a novel, I can write some posts about left vs right topics, hoping you'd also get my standpoint.
Have fun then

Are you not even aware of that? :shocked:
You want me to get radical and close to the far left ? I can do it, but that will look a lot different mate, I can assure you.


So you did get my answer to it.

Work hours? At least in Germany, they are still humane in comparison to other countries (looking at you, Japan...).
Minimal wages? Especially due to the inflation, they need to be increased. Everything got far too expensive nowadays.
Union influences? Yep.
Benefits? As in?
Working conditions? It absolutely needs to be kept as a high priority because it is the companies responsibility to protect its employees as well.
Working safety? Same as above.
Public holidays? Ofc.
Pregnancy discrimination acts? Who would be in favour of such things?
Right to refuse unsafe work? Absolutely, especially if the machinery and equipment is way too broken. There are also safety measures which you can sue your company quite extremely btw.
Disability? As in, constructing a disabled friendly architecture? Yep.
Unemployment wages? It's been dealt pretty good in Germany, so you're not immediately fucked if you're getting fired. You get paid a certain percentage of your salary for a year or so.
Social services for people who are unemployed? It depends on the employee who supervises you. Some are just complete assholes while there a genuine people trying to get you on your feet again.
Bullying and sexual harrassment? Bro, it's obvious.
Employment standards? As in?
Hierarchial abuse? For example, your supervisor abusing his authority towards other employees being subordinates to that person? Do you not think it's about that person, rather than the fault of the system? After all, you can also try to report this stuff, with evidence, to the HR if your boss is abusive. Idk how helpful that is, as I wasn't in these kind of situations, thankfully.
Strike rights? Heck, Die Deutschebahn is well known for its strikes, lmao.
Lay-off conditions? As in?
Mate, it was not an invitation for you to write about all the subject. I know that you agree with the majority. What i'm talking about is the valorasation and the amelioration of ALL those subjects.

For example going from 35 to 30 to 25 working hours, Better lay off condition for worker (in order not to be fired on a whim for example), more financial raises and better minimum wages etc.


Yes, because they came up with the same rhetoric which you're also using.
Yeah, which was a logical think to think about, there is no reason for people to be paid billions

:kayneshrug:

You don't need 3 million to live. But what you don't understand is that its a socialist reform, not a communist one. Leftism is so inexistent in your political environment that you think that a simple social reform like this one is communist.. your political compass is broken mate.

You only have the multi millionaires and billionaires in mind but you do not think about all the less wealthy "rich" people who would suffer from such rules as well. You're basically an advocate for oppressing people btw.
You're basically an advocate for oppressing people btw.
That's where I know that you are not well informed.

Those type of reforms are adaptative. Meaning that they adapt to the ressources of people. Someone with a annual revenue of 400000€ will not be taxed the same way as someone with 1 000 000 € or someone with 50 000 €


Because of that, it's funny how you accuse others of being part of a political spectrum when you openly admitted that you prefered the communism, but with a way to make it better (spoiler: former countries like Yugoslavia already tried but failed).
Aside from far rightist who I think are despicable people. I do not "accuse" people of being rightist or liberals. I counter them and call out their ignorance most of the time but I don't think they are bad people because of that.

I only label mate. You are missinformed.


Wait, wait, wait? What? Who says I'm overlooking genocides?
Do you think I'm okay what happens to the palestinians?
"I don't care"
Your words, not mine.


Wasn't Macron a liberal? I read his politics became more right-oriented. So I cannot tell much to it either.
Macron has always been a rightist/liberal. But nowaday he has become even more conservative and closer to the far right. Which is very concerning.


Besides, Germany's current government is left-wing and yet, the far right also got highly increased voting numbers.
Hmm... I'm sceptical.

Its seems to be more of a liberal alliance rather than a leftist one. For example, if asked you if this government would be ready to increase the minimal wage drastically or tax high fortune to a very high %, would they agree ?

And the reason for the rise of the far right mmust be the same as in our country : media and liberal debating with them.

When you invite the far right to a debate, you are legitimizing it. So its not illogical to see it grow.


Um, do you not think that the media would be also influenced by the state if they are owned by them?
Why would they ?

Do you not understand that you are far more likely to be influence by your boss if they are directly paying you than if its simply an official direction ?

Trust me, its the BEST way to have freedom of expression. But for that, the state has to play the game and name someone at the head who wants to be correct and not push or repress ideologies.

With Billionnaire in control you will only have two forms of ideologies: Either far rightist, either liberal. And BOTH pro capitalist and pro meritocratic.

German media isn't owned by the state and that's why they are independent by their own freedom of speech, freedom of press. It didn't stop the media to be left-winged by the way.
If the state media are left wing, its a good thing. It means that the counter power is working. Simple because leftist =/= liberals.

If you start to see some rightist in public media during a liberal gov. Its time to be REALLY SCARED.


See? What did I just say? No matter what I give as an answer, you already set up your biased opinion about my political stance and branded me as a rightist.
No. I actually took the time to verify all your answer. There could have been a surprise. You are really underestimate my capacity for selfquestionning mate.

I'm capable of switching my vision of a person with a single message bra, so if you want me to start seeing you as something else than a rightist, then change your opinions.

:kayneshrug:


So me arguing in favour of meritocracy makes me a rightist? Sorry, should I be pro-communism from now on lmfao?
Meritocracy IS rightism mate. Its the reason why you won't fight capitalism and therefore the reason why you are not on my side of the political spectrum.

Being rightist is not something awfull, it simply means that you believe in things that are opposed to what leftists believe in.

Simple as that.


- "for simple social democrat politics", yeah, for putting up 90% taxes of income to your former boss?
Not my former boss, high fortunes. But for that you would need to be aware and understand REAL lefltist politics and propositions.


- Who says I don't give a shit to oppressions?
"I don't really care"
Again, your words, not mine.


Do you think that Israel is an apartheid state and that Netanyahou should be arrested ?
The question was simple. "Do you think that Israel is an apartheid state and that Netanyahou should be arrested? " It meant : Do you agree that Israel is committing appartheid and genocide and do you think that Netanyahou is a war criminal.

Your answer was : "I don't know, I don't really care".

Ergo : You don't really care about OBVIOUS oppressions. (or at least this one, but I can name you a few if you want)

most western countries have it good with capitalism
This confirms what I say

No. Western countries doesn't "have it good with capitalism". Poverty is off the charts.

Communism is just proven to be a failed ideology
Wrong. Communism was not "proven" to be a failed ideology. It was proven to be simply volatile and very encline to let opportunist and oppressive leader take its lead.

Communism in the sence where it should have been created, was never created. What we saw are oppressive current of communism, just like there is an oppressive current of liberalism (libertarianism)


You live in your delulu world if you still have beliefs to that.
And that's what you don't understand at all. Between you and me, I'm the one with the knowledge, the history and science on my side.

You only have a belief system and your belief in your rationnalism.

You fell victim of the sophism known as "the middle ground solution". but there is no middle ground. There are only two side:
- The side that understand the danger of capitalism and try to fight or delete it
- The side that don't understand the danger of capitalism and try to strenghten or leave it as it is.


Sure, everyone doesn't understand a thing about leftism but you.
That's not true. Most leftists actually know MORE than me on leftism and politics...

But there are very few of those leftists in this thread.


Do you think I'm some uneducated neandertaler?
No, simply not informed enough on what leftism is.


I was educated about politics like every other person... I might not be politically involved like some other people but I at least know about the structures in our modern world...
And its okay. I will not attack you for not knowing.... unless you start to prove me wrong and in this case you will not be ready for what will happen.


Lol what? First of all, I'm definitely pro science, after all, science doesn't lie and you can hardly fake scientific facts.
Science (sociology) negates the concept of meritocracy mate.


it's your radical view about science pointing toward the radical left, you probably mean the gender studies and all that similar stuff but data science, physics, astronomy, geometry, biology, etc. are completely objective, alright?
All Sciences are meant to give as objective results and reasonning as possible.

You cannot put subjective topics as ideologies, human rights, oppressions, war and all other related topics into these. They are completely apart of it.
Structures of dominations and social structure or interactions are not "subjective topics" mate. They can be methodologically analysed, understood, deciphered, extrapolated and deconstructed.

Social behaviors is a real scientific subject.


1.) You legit get fed by the government.
This doesn't change the fact that capitalism is a problem. I can participate in society and still criticize it.


2.) How does racism directly affect you, though? It's one thing to stand for others but it's another one if you personally feel threatened and purposely try to fight against it.
Systemic Racism is one of the 6 major problems of this social world. I do not need to be a victim of it to empathize with those who are, and therefore fight with them.


3.) Ableism, okay, isn't that basically discrimination towards illiterates?
No really no. Educate yourself please.


4.) Patriarchy? Of course this comes from someone who thinks about the possibility of sharing his girl to Mr. rich boy lol. These terms get thrown so much nowadays and it's so idiotic, considering women get publicy no longer discriminated, they have equal votes, equal working rights and equal human rights. Today, it is so much more accepted that a woman also has a high position in a working field, earns very much, or might be the primary breadwinner. That's why there are also more house husbands than way before. Men express their feelings way more, leaving traditional roles behind, etc. Look at countries with actual patriarchy...
Another reason why I can definitely say that you are a rightist. What concerns me is that usually, even progressist liberals are awayre at least on the surface that Patriarchy is a problem. You are not really helping your case here if you want to appear as a progressist.

Patriarchy is a documented social system that still exist. Weither you like it or not. For more about that > Leftist library


5.) LGBTQ+phobia? If you see people being actively discriminated, you sure can stand for it but the system already fights for their rights and in the US
I bet that if I search very well, I will prove you that in reality, the system is not at all fighting to protect LGBTQI+ people in the US or in France or in Germany especially when said system is allowing the far right to strive.


I don't need to explain this to you why this is utterly ridiculous, right?
No you don't. I think they should have this right.


6.) Antiscientifism? In today's society???
You are literally speaking here with some people who are going against sociology and human sciences and are climatosceptics and antivaccine and/or complotist.

And if I want to be malicious I would bet that if I asked, a good part of people of this forum would say that they believe in the energetic power of stones or in naturopathy


I feel like you're basically shadow boxing, punching air because you're purposely antagonizing an entire system in your head so that you can actively demonstrate against that.
Again, that's a characterization of rightist. They believe that the system is fairly ok and therefore do not understand why leftist actually are angry against said or said oppression.


You are trolling, right?
I'm sure, you're just being sarcastic, otherwise I don't know how someone's political side means they're being utterly scientific. Also, we talk about politics, huge clashes of several ideologies and you tell me, I just need to bring "reliable proof" which contradict yours? Mate, you cannot be serious about that. Most of these discussions are just about pointing their fingers at each other and blaming each side for whatever reasons, there will never be a good conclusion because y'all are ready having your intellectual fights.
I'm not blaming you of anything. You don't have to understand if you don't want to understand.

You are not a far rightist so I won't attack you the same way I attack Ravager or Nameless.



You're participating in an online international forum. That's no social interaction, lmao.
This is literally what it is.

:kata:


You could very well be a complete neet, shutting yourself up in your room and only have interactions with strangers on the internet.
That's precisely what I'm doing.

Trust me, I know for a fact what having social interactions and not having social interactions means.


Obviously, that's not what I meant with having zero influence to society. Like, do you hang out with friends? Do you go to the gym? Other kind of outdoor or indoor activities which do not really involve the internet?
How could I ? Did you ever read my bio ?

I suggest you take a look at it.


Or you probably mean "That's the mind of someone who has a clear goal in life and works for it", that's not the mind of a capitalist.
No. What I'm saying is that confusing the saying "you are participating in society" with the fact of being a productive member of society, is a capitalist thing to do. It reduces social interaction to their production value.

What I am doing here is simply interacting socially with you. But this interaction, however small it is, has an impact however small it can be. This make this interaction a "participation in society". In this case, the fanbase of One Piece in worstgen.

Its a very small impact, but it is still an impact.


Look bro, aside of being unemployed and discussing in forums and Twitter, what do you do? How can you tell you are participating in society when there is none to it. Zero is zero. Logiko, you're just deluding yourself over it, please be real.
Read my bio. You will understand.


Are you expecting them to pay you even more for doing nothing? Come on, man...
Yes with social services.

You should check, its a leftist thing.


How ridiculous, does your country turn into another dictatorship or a hellhole full of oppression and violence?
It almost did a few weeks ago. And the situation is not fixed. So... yeah..


You wouldn't care about it either way if I was caring more about outside oppressions.
No I don't care. Its your problem, not mine. I just don't want to receive moral lesson about inequalities from you. That's all.


I'm sure this will definitely convince those countries to stop their attrocious acts. You need to get real.
The saying "we can't do anything, so lets not do anything"

Sorry.. not my motto


Well, I finally understand how annoyed people were with my posts when I quoted incomplete sentences like that, cutting off complete words because this sure is annoying for me as well
I'm always quoting what is necessary. You can always use the context of your sentences as an excuse to say dumb things mate.


1.) Ah, alright. So you want to tax Elon Musk nearly 90% of his income. Alright, lol.
Yup I would love to


2.) Interesting, where are the statistics, the data? You talk about the filthy riches but I'm obviously talking about the bigger picture here.
What you don't understand is that the structure in itself IS the thing creating exploitation. Its not something done because people want to exploit others. Its created because of the structuration of the system.

And right now, unless you tell me that there exist a country where workers owns their means of production, business owners are exploiting people.

Its very, very simple. If you profit from the value and production created by other, you are exploiting them. And yes, this is my communist side kicking in.

3.) You hate capitalism and support a system where the state has much more influence over company owners. Sorry, but this is a much more serious issue, which would occur, which affects a lot of these people. It'd easily outscale the percentage of people you want to have less money over, not to mention that corrupted states would EASILY use this kind of system for their own benefits.
I'm not. For now, i'm not a communist, I only support some of their idea. I'm not advocating for a system where there is only one party.

Once again, i'm not that radical, I'm a reformist.


4.) You completely missed my point. A smaller Trump obviously has less influence over it. An abusive small boss exploits his subordinates but on a bigger scale, he's just a small fry and more dependant on his workers than you might think.
Yeah


It's bad that you had very negative experience with your working field but why didn't you try other jobs
Well, this specific job might actually be one of the reasons why I'm in this situation right now. I felt the weight of exploitation during a few month on power x1000. And you know what traumatized me ?

I was ok with it.


Don't let this experience encapsulate you like that.
One of the thing you are missing about me.

He did not "encapsulate" me. It liberated me.


Bro's now being extra dramatic...
Average redditor be like.
Well.. I like drama


^This guy tried to educate me about whether someone is a rightist or leftist btw.
If you want, I can explain to you in detail how I can arrive to this conclusions.



Not leftist enough for you? Are they also right wing?
Yes, democrats are progressive right wingers.

This is not news.


It's like water cutting through stone, one drop at a time. But if Logiko lacks common sense completely I don't see it happening.
Don't underestimate me

:moonwalk: :optimistic:


A mate of taste

:kata:

Yeah Nazis transforming Germany into a kind of socialist economy is a common misconception based on Peter Temins and Peter Hayes lectures about the economic policies and ideological allignment of Nazis which still persists today. It would also not be really accurate tho to call the economic policies by the Nazis as a ideological paradise for modern right-libertarians, there were too many state regulations and interventions for that.

When Nazis rose to power in 1933, unemployment was at a really high amount of 6 million people and one of the first policies to please industrial moguls, some of them who helped Hitler to get into power (Carl Friedrich von Siemens, Krupp Family, Quandt family, Alfred Hugenberg Franz von Mendelssohn etc.) was to bust worker unions, free trade unions and some freshly gained workers rights in the Weimar Republic that social democracy fought for among with more radical socialists (including Marxists) which are basic standard in most european countries today.

These industrial moguls were supportive of the Nazis who campaigned to squash the rise of the Bolshewiki in Russia and other flavors of Socialism in Germany and Europe. When they met Hitler in 5 February 1933, he was open about planning to turn Germany into a dictatorship. He also told them private enterprise could not be maintained in a Democracy (a idea Peter Thiel in particular propagates these days) and would only be conceivable if people have a sound idea of authority and personality. Germanys biggest companies at the time had no qualm funding the Nazis election campaigns to dissolve Democracy.

As for private property, Nazis saw private property as important incentive to increase economic efficiency and there was actually barely any nationalizations of private firms despite Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schachts plan from 5 May 1934, which is emblematic for a state planned economy on the level such as DDR, USSR and so on, despite no scrupel in applying force and terror and regulating + intervening markets for the transformation into a war economy in order to eventually invading pretty much all of europe as seen in WWII. Despite widespread rationing they still had ample scope to follow their own production plans, the initiative of investing decision despite influence of state regulation remained with the enterprises.

What is also true is that Hitler explained in a memorandum from August 1936 why he believed its necessary for German Economy to achieve autarky in 4 years, which was the basis for the four-year-plan. The new plan for economic management included wage and price controls, centralization of the mobilization of labor and import restrictions. This four-year-plan to get Nazi Germany ready for war had key weaknesses:

- Hitler never allowed the economy to be placed on total war footing
- Hitler still wanted to protect the "golden standard" of living and manage consumer levels without causing a rise of Inflation and they were successful on that front
- Germanys economy was only partially prepared for war which would start early in fall 1939 after "Blitzkrieg" invading Poland, even Hitler predicted that Germany would not be fully ready for war until 1942.
- Economic policy by the Nazis became unsustainable by 1939. While Germanys population kept growing, the Nazis tried to restrict consumer goods industry, especially housing construction
- Thats why some historians argue that this internal pressure gave Hitler a reason to decide to start the war earlier than originally planned even tho it would take at least 3 more years for Germany to be fully ready, again showing the importance and influence of Economy in societal and geopolitical decisions, including war.

1939-1945 the industry was fully focused on providing armament for Germanys military and the expansion wars aswell as the total persecution of the jews gave Nazi Germanys companies free slaves working in fabrics and mines. Blitzkrieg tactics and start-stop wars all over europe, plundering the assets and goods of other european countries were supposed to provide a outlet for Germanys over-heating and heavily in-debt economy. However, Germany obtained less than 30% of its war expenditures from plundering Europe even tho the occupied countries combined GDP was roughly double that of Nazi Germanys. Germany was already in need of more labour in 1939 and the war claimed more and more men, by 1944 the german civil workforce decreased from 39 million to 29 million and the occupied territories had to compensate for these labour shortages in Germany.

Amazing stuff. I don't think I will retain most of it, but very interesting.

Are you an historian on Nazi germany ?

aswell as the total persecution of the jews gave Nazi Germanys companies free slaves working in fabrics and mines
This part made me shiver


You are not going to get anyone banned,bro
I'm usually not against letting report go away.

Unless its fascistic rethoric, which is the case here (me being partly communist). So I will report that until the day I leave the forum if I have to.

This is a question of principle.


It wouldn't.

Disagreement of ideals or ways of life doesn't equate to discrimination.
Again. Transphobia is the act of discrimination against trans people. Weither by word or by actions.

You can think you don't like trans people, but saying it or saying for example "trans women are not women", is simply transphobic. It perpetuates discriminations and makes you complicit in them.

This is not a debate.


You do not need to accept an individuals sexuality or their beliefs on gender identity in order to live perfectly fine with them
Yes you do.
OR
You don't talk about them or to any person about them and in that case, there is indeed no problem.


Just as you not accepting Islamic beliefs doesn't make you an Islamophobic.
Yes it does.

I do not believe, but I have no right to negate the right of other to believe or even say that others should not be able to believe.


Discrimination and agreements/likes of ideals/ways of life are complete separate.
We are talking about discrimination here. Meaning not accepting people for who they are.

There is no debate to have. If you depict such behavior against trans people, you are transphobic.

Period.



Using either transphobia or homophobia to describe general discrimination against those people is lowering the scale of weight those words carry.
No. It does the opposite. Its targets specifically the discrimination in order to fight it more effectively.


Thank you for clearing this up. I don't know how Logiko came to that conclusion, I'm not a bigot towards anyone.
I won't treat anyone differently because they are merely a different race, sexuality, gender, etc. than me. I've made that very clear.
Again, I never said that you were transphobic mate.

You arrived at this conclusion yourself.

I said that you shared transphobic rethoric. Which is not exactly the same thing in the specific context that we were in.
Xione, on the other hand, was transphobic.




Liberals.. being liberals..
 
Not at all. Democrats are as leftist as I am queen Elisabeth.

Do you want an explanation ?



"being c*cked" is a slang term meaning "being cheated".

You are not cheated on when there is consent and trust mate, that's not how relationships work.



You are not understanding. I'm not poly, i'm simply not against experimenting things and if my partner want to do the same and we are BOTH okay (and only on that condition, which will probably won't happen because I don't really like the idea) this will be a simple experiment and nothing more.

You don't know yourself and don't seem at all confident with your sexuality mate (since you are using the most incel term there is to describe simple caudaulism), so don't try to lecture me on mine

Deal ?

:kata:



Because I'm concentrated on your injonction to work. I don't need more. What you said didn't negate this injonction.


Yup. Trust me that I won't have someone like that in my relationships. I only keep people who have empathy and don't push their meritocratic belief system on others.


Have fun then


You want me to get radical and close to the far left ? I can do it, but that will look a lot different mate, I can assure you.



Mate, it was not an invitation for you to write about all the subject. I know that you agree with the majority. What i'm talking about is the valorasation and the amelioration of ALL those subjects.

For example going from 35 to 30 to 25 working hours, Better lay off condition for worker (in order not to be fired on a whim for example), more financial raises and better minimum wages etc.



Yeah, which was a logical think to think about, there is no reason for people to be paid billions

:kayneshrug:

You don't need 3 million to live. But what you don't understand is that its a socialist reform, not a communist one. Leftism is so inexistent in your political environment that you think that a simple social reform like this one is communist.. your political compass is broken mate.

Wrong. Communism was not "proven" to be a failed ideology. It was proven to be simply volatile and very encline to let opportunist and oppressive leader take its lead.

Communism in the sence where it should have been created, was never created. What we saw are oppressive current of communism, just like there is an oppressive current of liberalism (libertarianism)



And that's what you don't understand at all. Between you and me, I'm the one with the knowledge, the history and science on my side.

You only have a belief system and your belief in your rationnalism.

You fell victim of the sophism known as "the middle ground solution". but there is no middle ground. There are only two side:
- The side that understand the danger of capitalism and try to fight or delete it
- The side that don't understand the danger of capitalism and try to strenghten or leave it as it is.



That's not true. Most leftists actually know MORE than me on leftism and politics...

But there are very few of those leftists in this thread.



No, simply not informed enough on what leftism is.



And its okay. I will not attack you for not knowing.... unless you start to prove me wrong and in this case you will not be ready for what will happen.



Science (sociology) negates the concept of meritocracy mate.



All Sciences are meant to give as objective results and reasonning as possible.


Structures of dominations and social structure or interactions are not "subjective topics" mate. They can be methodologically analysed, understood, deciphered, extrapolated and deconstructed.

Social behaviors is a real scientific subject.



This doesn't change the fact that capitalism is a problem. I can participate in society and still criticize it.



Systemic Racism is one of the 6 major problems of this social world. I do not need to be a victim of it to empathize with those who are, and therefore fight with them.



No really no. Educate yourself please.



Another reason why I can definitely say that you are a rightist. What concerns me is that usually, even progressist liberals are awayre at least on the surface that Patriarchy is a problem. You are not really helping your case here if you want to appear as a progressist.

Patriarchy is a documented social system that still exist. Weither you like it or not. For more about that > Leftist library



I bet that if I search very well, I will prove you that in reality, the system is not at all fighting to protect LGBTQI+ people in the US or in France or in Germany especially when said system is allowing the far right to strive.



No you don't. I think they should have this right.



You are literally speaking here with some people who are going against sociology and human sciences and are climatosceptics and antivaccine and/or complotist.

And if I want to be malicious I would bet that if I asked, a good part of people of this forum would say that they believe in the energetic power of stones or in naturopathy



Again, that's a characterization of rightist. They believe that the system is fairly ok and therefore do not understand why leftist actually are angry against said or said oppression.



I'm not blaming you of anything. You don't have to understand if you don't want to understand.

You are not a far rightist so I won't attack you the same way I attack Ravager or Nameless.




This is literally what it is.

:kata:



That's precisely what I'm doing.

Trust me, I know for a fact what having social interactions and not having social interactions means.



How could I ? Did you ever read my bio ?

I suggest you take a look at it.



No. What I'm saying is that confusing the saying "you are participating in society" with the fact of being a productive member of society, is a capitalist thing to do. It reduces social interaction to their production value.

What I am doing here is simply interacting socially with you. But this interaction, however small it is, has an impact however small it can be. This make this interaction a "participation in society". In this case, the fanbase of One Piece in worstgen.

Its a very small impact, but it is still an impact.



Read my bio. You will understand.



Yes with social services.

You should check, its a leftist thing.



It almost did a few weeks ago. And the situation is not fixed. So... yeah..



No I don't care. Its your problem, not mine. I just don't want to receive moral lesson about inequalities from you. That's all.



The saying "we can't do anything, so lets not do anything"

Sorry.. not my motto



I'm always quoting what is necessary. You can always use the context of your sentences as an excuse to say dumb things mate.



Yup I would love to



What you don't understand is that the structure in itself IS the thing creating exploitation. Its not something done because people want to exploit others. Its created because of the structuration of the system.

And right now, unless you tell me that there exist a country where workers owns their means of production, business owners are exploiting people.

Its very, very simple. If you profit from the value and production created by other, you are exploiting them. And yes, this is my communist side kicking in.


I'm not. For now, i'm not a communist, I only support some of their idea. I'm not advocating for a system where there is only one party.

Once again, i'm not that radical, I'm a reformist.



Yeah



Well, this specific job might actually be one of the reasons why I'm in this situation right now. I felt the weight of exploitation during a few month on power x1000. And you know what traumatized me ?

I was ok with it.



One of the thing you are missing about me.

He did not "encapsulate" me. It liberated me.



Well.. I like drama



If you want, I can explain to you in detail how I can arrive to this conclusions.




Yes, democrats are progressive right wingers.

This is not news.



Don't underestimate me

:moonwalk: :optimistic:



A mate of taste

:kata:


Amazing stuff. I don't think I will retain most of it, but very interesting.

Are you an historian on Nazi germany ?



This part made me shiver



I'm usually not against letting report go away.

Unless its fascistic rethoric, which is the case here (me being partly communist). So I will report that until the day I leave the forum if I have to.

This is a question of principle.



Again. Transphobia is the act of discrimination against trans people. Weither by word or by actions.

You can think you don't like trans people, but saying it or saying for example "trans women are not women", is simply transphobic. It perpetuates discriminations and makes you complicit in them.

This is not a debate.



Yes you do.
OR
You don't talk about them or to any person about them and in that case, there is indeed no problem.



Yes it does.

I do not believe, but I have no right to negate the right of other to believe or even say that others should not be able to believe.



We are talking about discrimination here. Meaning not accepting people for who they are.

There is no debate to have. If you depict such behavior against trans people, you are transphobic.

Period.



No. It does the opposite. Its targets specifically the discrimination in order to fight it more effectively.



Again, I never said that you were transphobic mate.

You arrived at this conclusion yourself.

I said that you shared transphobic rethoric. Which is not exactly the same thing in the specific context that we were in.
Xione, on the other hand, was transphobic.





Liberals.. being liberals..
Not reading all that.
Why do you even type this much?

Anyway

 
Why does it matter tho?
Whoever voted for Biden in primary also defacto voted for Kamala too.
Biden endorsed Kamala and she is his VP candidate, if he nominated someone outside of Kamala then it would be an issue
It matters cause they have a procedure for selecting a nominee, you don't become a de facto nominee by being someone's VP. They vote individuals in the primaries, not the ticket. The Biden panic and not being prepared for a new candidate made them skip electing one.


It is the first time this happened :risitavirus:
 
this is like arguing
its undemocratic to have a vp become president if a president becomes invalid midterm
biden harris are the same ticket
he dropped out later on but that doesnt mean a new primary has to be had. Bidens incumbent seat wasnt challenged and by proxy neither is kamala's
Well no, VEEP IS the de facto president if the president quits/dies etc. That is the actual rule.

A VEEP becoming de facto nominee simply isn't. It was out of sheer panic

yes you do , do you know where that procedure is documented.... or are you making assumptions
No one has a primary three months before the election[/QUOTE]

It was well known that Kamala is his VP, by voting Biden you know you are voting for Kamala too. The moment Biden announced he is stepping down Kamala was most obvious pick for a reason.

Like, they are package deal lmao

If he nominated Pete or someone else then it would be a problem, but Kamala really isn't IMO. If Trump was to step down now and nominate his VP I don't think there would be a lot of backlash going on.

VP's are just logical choice after president steps down

She is the logical choice cause there is no time left. Had they actually planned something in the last few years, they could have had a proper candidate by now *who isn't Kamala*
 
Well no, VEEP IS the de facto president if the president quits/dies etc. That is the actual rule.

A VEEP becoming de facto nominee simply isn't. It was out of sheer panic
where is the actual rule for an unchallenged incumbent dropping out for there to be a new election to select a new candidate.
you say its panic it has to be ,
you cant have a primary for a general election in 3 months . this so called process of selecting a new nominee in these unique circumstances is bullshit people are pulling out of their ass. There isnt a process for it.
Post automatically merged:

Yeah, exactly. Ergo them skipping steps cause they were out of time :milaugh:
no step was skipped
again there isnt a process. proposing that should be the process is one thing, arguing like that is the process is a flat out lie.

Eh i doubt they would run someone else.

As much as i think Pete would be great president he needs a VP position first. And if Pete needs that then no other Democrat can have a real shot at presidency.

Kamala has most "experience" out of them all and she is defacto tied to Biden and his ballot.

I do think Pete or Kelly should be her VP

There is literally no rule that would give the VEEP an upper hand at an open convention. They have to win the majority of delegates, just like any other candidate.

What are unique circumstances Lanji, Biden could have quit a long time ago :josad:

I think it was just an elaborate plan, having the debate super early, kicking Biden out with that pretext, and then handing it down to Kamala in a hurry and getting all the campaign money.

Pete would be ok, would be nice to have some young people there :josad:

Thats the point though nat, It is not an open convention, you know when it was an open convention ?almost 2 years ago and they united as a party behind biden. He didnt drop out so they endorsed him and his vp candidate with the risk of knowing at any point if the 80 yr old man croaks, kamala his vp would be the seat.

The unique circumstances are biden didnt quit a long time ago
he quit after he was the chosen candidate with 3 months to the general election.
am not sure what people are so worried about
if she isnt a viable candidate
people wouldnt turn up for her on election day.

Yeah, I know it's not an open convention, which is the whole point. Read my post to Adam above ^

I'm not personally worried, just very entertained, especially when seeing these tweets :milaugh:
