So you wanted him to handwave the blame towards some other party/system instead of giving him advice on how to deal with his plight?
Also got him permabanned from here too. Don't think he'll forget that either.
All I've seen from you from your posts are constant criticisms and no affirmations.

First, the guy didn't struggle. Bob was someone who ADVOCATED for men who struggled, because for him there was a injustive and women are treated better than men. I actually gave him PLENTY of affirmation multiple ways how - as a man - you can deal with struggles, because - let me remind you once again - this is a subject that touch me DIRECTLY compared to Bob who was simply rambling anti-feminist things because he listened to much to Shapiro or J.Peterson.
So please, do not even try to reverse the blame here. I don't like this kind of behavior.
I took HOURS of my times to give him ressources on the reality of the situations of men AND women and to make him understand the problem with Patriarchy which is - BTW - not a party, and not some kind of organization, but a SYSTEMIC problem. If you want to understand what this means > Leftist Library section "understanding feminism"
Then you can stop saying people are anti-left for disagreeing with your methods on a weeb forum. Emphasis on weeb forum.
For ex. You can't be anti-feminist and a leftist.. that's not how things work.
Not like there are people who give wrong labels.
And I literally work around this shit 24/7. But I dont go around saying I'm more qualified than others or that my words hold more weight than them.
As stated multiple times before, we need a social democracy to start things off. Politicians need to get kicked out of the stock market, and heavy regulation on capitalism to prevent monopolies and protect workers rights. Capitalism by it's very nature relies on inequality and exploitation.
What is your point of view on Meritocracy ?
This is a weeb forum for the purpose of escapism from the struggles and exhaustion of real life. You are trying to bring real world political nonsense to them
The refusal to politicize politic subjects.
I forgot this point, but this is one of the major reasons why I keep siding you up with liberals (because it's the side that constantly depoliticizes subjects). I've explained in detail many many many times how it was important as spectators to politicize the discussions about the stories we are consuming. This politization is ESSENTIAL to avoid missing core subjects relative to the narrations and the thematics of the story.
One Piece is highly political so choosing to refuse the politization of political subject (such the Nakama war was) is heavily problematic. It's prevent us from understanding and discussing why we are debating and fighting so much.
There is no such thing as "real world nonsense", politization is essential. You were just led to believe that depolitization was normal in discussion about stories, but it's not.
and they clearly expressed their hatred of politics when unwanted. That is why this thread is semi-hidden.
You are like a manager trying to call their employee when they're on vacation, and calling them lazy for not picking up the phone for work related stuff
Cult-like behavior. That's like saying a Zoro fan while always agree with a Zoro fan.
You are telling me that "i don't know who leftist are" for the simple reasons that your vision of leftists is made by people who call themselves leftist but are actually in opposition to leftist or radical leftists.. So when I tell you that you are not surrounded by radical, I'm telling you that you actually can't know what real leftism is because you are mainly listening to their political opposite.
We have guys like that in the political spectrum in France. Hollande, the former french president, keeps talking about the left when in reality, the guy made Macron who he is today and has developped a full rightist politic in power.
That's what I mean by confusionnist. People who try to appear progressive when they have in reality anti-progressist ideas. And the problem is your behavior is similar. You are telling me that you would be considered a radical leftist, and you give me good reasons to, but in your actions, you keep on showing me an ideology opposed to leftism.
You criticize capitalism, but you refuse the politization of debate.. it's purely contradictory. So when you use this rethoric and make me say that I'm not the representation of leftist when all my values are the product of leftists struggles, then you are creating confusionnism.
So again, I'm willing to change my mind, but you will have to make a step forward to understand that when I say that I understand leftism, I mean that I understand what is NOT leftism.
Ever changing definitions that you find on different websites doesn't override the official and universal definition of a trans woman. Using words correct by definition is not transphobia.
Understanding that is confirmed by all the people (trans people) I know the work.
You will not be on their side as long as you will think that I'm changing definition. This conspirationnist belief about cancel culture and woke that we are trying to cancel people for random words in general is ALSO one of the reason why I can't consider you on the progressive side at the moment.
Again. If you still do not believe me. Go to the r/trans , tell them that you are a moderator on a forum and you want to have a precision on transphobia. Ask them if saying "A trans woman is a man is transphobic". It's a very easy and quick exercice. You will have your answer and it will not come from me. (just be nice to them please)
I corrected the guy and he agreed. You have a habit of crying wolf so it's important to make sure.
Once again, we were talking about something very specific, one of them being the Fat Acceptance movement which claims obesity is healthy and sexy, which is factually untrue
No because it looks like the common Van thing you are used to do, and I mean by that deforming completely the rethoric of people to create conflict.
People who promote body positivity and fat acceptance never say that obesity is healthyn they know the reality of obesity, but yeah, it's important to allow people in obesity to feel sexy. This is PRIMORDIAL for them to gain confidence, which is the opposite of what you promote by pushing your standard and judment on those people.
So indeed, we are talking about a specific thing, but it looks like you are not understanding the core of it.
Harsh truths are better than comforting lies
In other word you harsh truth is not better, it's counter productive and pro actively hurtfull.
Yeah you can start by not throwing politics in the face of people who are here for escapism and entertainment. I'm certain that if a random Jehova Witness shows up at a child's birthday party, he'd get kicked out.
You are once again showing that you refuse politization, which is one of the core reason why leftist fight liberals in the first place.
When somewone brings up suicide rates, responding with sarcastic gifs, emotes and saying "boohoo poor men" is quite dismissive and problematic.
Again, you are lying about a conversation that you never followed.
It's crazy how I'm the only one making an effort to bridge the gap here, once again, but you keep the attacks and the lies.
Which is a regular thing with you. I got like 10 posts with me saying liberalism, centrism, and libertarianism wont solve a thing in right wing America.
Well I will link a book here written by Zoe Baker about means an ends unity, but I would like to mention, from a socialist point of view, capitalism is not meritocratic, I think because the idea of a capitalist exploiting workers comes from the fact that a capitalist just owns capital and lives off of the profit created by the workers working and developing that capital, only paying them back some of the value their work produces, and many socialists do not want a meritocratic system, they want a system that is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs", and that doesn't mean you can not get more by working more, but for example, you would have guaranteed food, housing, water, even if you may say people don't "deserve" that,
The ideas that some people deserve to be rich and other deserve to be exploited is the core value behind the justification of capitalism. There can't be change without removing meritocracy for the equation.
" it is not enough to desire something; if one really wants it adequate means must be used to secure it. And these means are not arbitrary, but instead cannot but be conditioned by the ends we aspire to and by the circumstances in which the struggle takes place, for if we ignore the choice of means we would achieve other ends, possibly diametrically opposed to those we aspire to, and this would be the obvious and inevitable consequence of our choice of means. Whoever sets out on the highroad and takes a wrong turning does not go where he intends to go but where the road leads him
The point is : Meritocracy is the problem and the backbone of capitalism. We cannot get rid of capitalism without getting rid of meritocracy at the same time because if we do not, we are bound to repeat capitalistic systems on other societies.
This might be true for a "belief system" but not for every opinions. When Brazil banned twitter you were in favor of protesting against the government and its institutions for some reason. Defending big corps all of a sudden somehow.
I never said that we should protest against the gov for banning twitter. I remember in fact being quite neutral on the subject since I had no knowledge of the in and outs of the conflict. I even laughed at nameless for not being able to use twitter because of Elon..
On the other hand, the moment where I said that people should protest came when someone told me that the gov was planning to ban VPN's usage, which is not normal and highly dangerous.
As shown here:
>>>
8,800 dollars fine daily for accessing twitter with vpn in Brazil
This is so absurd
This is so absurd
Yeah. I don't really get the fine on users. They are not responsible. This is really shady, a lot of people are using X by necessity.
No. That's actually the opposite. They know that people will have to use it and they intend to make money out of it. It's 101 capitalism.
This judge also ordered remove all vpn from google apps and app store
Bro....
Bro....
Now this is authoritarian. (But not fascist)
Can we have discussions without deforming the rethoric of others... please people ?
