Your Political Ideology: Redux

Well, i've always been libertarian at heart, and was a right-wing libertarian when I was a teenager, having moved to the left as I got older and entered the working world. And really, I don't think my goals ever changed so much as my perspective on the part capitalism has to play. At this point I think capitalism is unsustainable. I think that it is a leftover of aristocracy that had the benefit of allowing us to move out of traditional societies without changing too quickly, but in the 21st century it is going to be faced with Global Warming, Automation, and the ballooning wealth disparity between classes, and I don't think it can survive all three at the same time.

Regarding the far left, to keep it simple, I agree with some points and not with others. I don't think history follows any predictable pattern, and I don't think any one thing is inevitable. I said above that I don't think Capitalism as we know it can survive the century, but that doesn't mean I think any one thing will inevitably replace it. At the same time, I think that the Marxist end goal is a lot more plausible than people think, and the problem with communism isn't the possibility of the destination so much the complexity of reaching it.

Considering that he went from almost unheard of to the modern icon of ""socialism"", i'd say he did pretty well.

Personally, I just want Debs to take over Cage. Imagine how glorious that would be.

@Vortex

I think he mostly did well because, though he had limited range, what he did say really struck a vein. I mean, Trump is doing really well even though he is possibly the worst speaker in American political history, and that too is because he struck a vein.

But if we had a really charismatic guy, like a far-left version of Obama? That's be sweet.

I still believe if we whack Sanders hard enough he might release the spectre of Eugene Debs

@Vortex

If he had that spectre, he'd probably have been a better speaker. What we should do is get Nic Cage to go find the spectre of Eugene Debs, and then we install it in one of our progressive politicians so they become more impressive.

Oh no. The Hunger Games is rigged too

More like "KilageDUMBiotx", amirite.

@Dark Wind

With Trump, we may just have opened that door.

Hunger Games: Halloween Addition

The sun sets on the second day of scary situations and spooky slaying. Night falls, shadows and stuff happens in the leaves, and maybe the moon is out or something.



tsukune, who killed Lincoln, is unmanned by spooky scary skeleton kid. Jack Skellington unmods Hank. Undertale invents another form of creepypasta - instead of people being scared by ghostly video games, what would happen if the video games were scared by ghostly people? Shifty, Shoryu, Broby, and their Waifu let off some steam as Broby's second layer of blood dries. Palin macks on a one-dimensional cartoon person, proving that like attracts like. Hooplah Fish gets gobstoppers; probably the big ones, since ol' one eyed Hooplah has the gob for it. Final Fantasy, the Cockle, Gary Johnson, and MayLien also shoot the shit on this night of parties. Mahz would like to see Shaco slathered in Buffalo Wing sauce. Trump, tired of his own rallies, decides to sit this one out.

It's close to midnight, and Myyt is lurking in the dark.



So first of all, here we lose VarionusNW, shot by the milkman. Neither has done much particularly exciting, but I do feel it is worth noting that the Milkman is wearing a Cellphone costume at the moment of the crime. ArenaSnow hooks up with X-Tan. But neither is the main event. Not at all.

It's fucking me. I've never been much in these games, but today I score a victory against two of the coldest killers when I fucking murder the Devil, a man who has ordered the death of six different tributes, and in doing so I scare the shit out of Mike Myers, the second coldest killer in the game with three deaths to his name. This is like gutting Hitler right at Mussolini's feet. And, with the devil's head mounted in my study, I become the coldest motherfucker on the street.

All hail to the me.

Do you have a fruit bowl in your house

Not, but I am intrigued. Tell me more about Fruit Bowls. If I myself don't have a house, could I rent a fruit bowl in somebody else's house?

I have to wonder how many write-ins there'll be this election.

You know what, in a mix of good humor and legitimate frustration, I think I'm going to write in James Tiberius Kirk.

This was actually doubly a poor choice of article; abcnews.com.co is a satirical news site.

@KnightShade

Goddamnit. I knew that too. The writer is fucking "Jimmy Rustling."

I just googled something like "Trump protestors paid March" and grabbed an article next to the ones with less credible looking names forgetting to check the date. I just remember this stuff so I half-assedly google because I figure others remember it too.

Two, you've not actually connected it in anyway to electoral rigging. Electoral rigging is a different thing, and a very serious accusation to throw around without providing evidence.

This is pretty worrisome. We've dealt with it on the small scale since, like, forever. But the narrative Trump is spinning right now, that if he loses then the election is illegitimate, is the sort of thing that kills constitutional governments. We'd be banking on that narrative only catching up with his core and turning off moderate Republicans. That, and the military ultimately being loyal to the electorate rather than Trump.
