There is probably also depression in there. It is pretty easy to get depressed when you have ADHD.

They’ve been doing this for every election for quite some time now.

The trick here is they don’t actually care if it’s autistics or not. They just want want to create another “other” for society to Target. So you’ll get them blasting this on news all over the United States of America " see this perfectly normal looking heartbeat, this is the autism heartbeat. We needed to put whoever this terrible person is in whatever terrible position we’re going to put them in".

It’s just like sending people to El Salvador with mom tattoos. They don’t care if they’re in a gang or not.

John Green: Yikes!

Yes. I wonder what the outcomes of centering the soldiers gult is?

Do we want the solution to be that soldiers have to consider every order given within the historical context of the time to decide the morally correct actions and do them even if it means court martial or death?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m okay for soldiers to do this in extreme examples. But I don’t think this should be the norm.

I think we should shift the focus to the leaders instead of the soldiers. They are better positioned to make these decisions and have the time to do so.

And it’s their job.

I watch Vaush a lot and I haven’t seen what you are talking about.

Yeah, I am not surprised that you have disagreements behind Lenin and AES. The two are pretty related and hard to pull apart. I was just surprised that you would disagree with any of his Marxist takes. I think you both agree what the problems are from a Marxist perspective.

As for the sex offenders/sex pest stuff. I don’t think he is those things, but I understand I am just one person. From the stuff I have seen it is mostly people that disagree with him that label him as such as a way to get around the fact they don’t really have a leg to stand on; Fascists and the like. Not saying that is you of course.

Thanks for taking the time to talk this though by the way. I figure you get hit with a lot of stuff.

No idea, I have only watch him one or two times. Seemed good to me.

I do get that vibe from Vaush occasionally. Unfortunately the attention economy is a real thing and I would be impressed with anyone with the same reach as Vaush wouldn’t be doing similar things. I am not sure I would be as far left as I am without his content.

He has no grasp of Dialectical and Historical Materialism

Can you list a specific example? I think he has a good understanding of this.

I am pretty familiar with Vaush’s arguments on Marxist theory. What are your points of contention?

As far as I know, all the criticisms of Vaush watching child porn has been misinformation.

For those that don’t like to read, you don’t have to read theory. In fact, most theory is old. There are newer and better takes on these ideas. Find a good YouTube channel that goes over the ideas. I like Vaush.

If you like to read theory, go for it. But I think there are faster and easier ways to get the concepts.

As long as he’s richer than everyone else, it doesn’t matter how poor he is.

OpenRA has been a thing for a while. Maybe they figure this is the final squeeze at the lemon before it becomes irrelevant.

I don’t. When I say social change I’m more talking about like social thinking that individuals are the problem. Sorry if that was not clear.

Yeah, it’s different. I think the machine on the left is an infinite energy machine. Those will never work.

The machine on the right is a carbon capture machine which does work. But not well enough. Are fast enough to solve any of the problems that we have.

I’m fine with playing around with a carbon capture machine and seeing if we can improve it, but I would never want to rely solely on it.

I want to try a thousand solutions to the global warming problem. Including societal and government changes. Cuz you know otherwise we all die.

The way I think of it is as follows: if you like the idea of socialism or communism, and you think the only way to get there is to have an authoritative leader “clean house” before they for some reason or another decide to give the power back to the people, then you are a tankie.

In my opinion, an authoritative leader will never give up power back to the people willingly. Or if an authoritative gets in charge, it will never dismantle systems like capitalism because capitalists give authoritative people power.

Another good hint is if they really like the idea of murdering billionaires even if there are less violent solutions to it. I’m not saying that there are currently less violent solutions. I’m just saying they will never go out of their way for less violent solutions. As if they like the idea of murder a lot.

What’s that line from the show Good Omens?

Don’t think of it as dying, think of it as beating the rush.

Because they share the same incentives as the Republicans. Can’t help out the average Joe too much otherwise the billionaired will get mad.

Dems are there to make us think we have a choice.
