The bourgeoisie didn't do the killing, Nazis did. I noticed a general trend in the things you post, such as the title of this thread, that you seem to be place everything that is in some way reprehensible in the same category, namely that of being extremely, stupefyingly viciously evil. There is a difference between the conservative bourgeoisie and nazis in that the former maintain law and order by oppressing people and the latter, you know, by waging war and setting fire to buildings with lots of children in them. Just like there is a difference between spraying people with gas to disinfect them and hurting them in the process on the one hand and on the other spraying people with poison gas because it's a more efficient way of killing large numbers of people than shooting them one by one. Your extremist shitposting is seriously detrimental to the cause you're advocating. If you were a false flag right wing activist, you couldn't discredit it any better.

chenGOD Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 2 hours ago, cyanobacteria said: haha holy shit unless the letter comes with $50k in campaign contributions alongside it this will not do shit This is absolutely not true. I'm talking about your city councilor. The average salary for a city councilor in your city is like $900 a month. The mayor makes $1,000 a month. These are not high rolling 1%ers. I'm telling you, if you write a well thought out letter that is not abusive, will not waste the councilor's time, makes an actual argument about an issue, you will get a reply. If you get enough people to write similar letters, you will create incentive to act on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how they found out? The immigrants called a detainee hotline, set up for them. It's a shitty, inhumane thing that they're doing, but it is in no way at all comparable to the systematic murder of 60% of the Jews in Europe. Does it need to stop? Of course it does, they need to be treated with dignity and respect while they are being processed. But man it's like rhmilo said - when you exaggerate and use hyperbole you discredit any of the good stuff you bring up. It makes it easy to ignore. You know back in the day when you were talking about the issue of male rape? That's an important issue, and it should be discussed seriously. What do people remember? Your post about women stealing sperm. You see the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post about women stealing sperm. You see the point? This is a great issue you've brought up - that of cognitive biases in the typical human perception. If people were to look plainly at each issue rather than convert words into social games they play, the resultant quality of future words would be higher. Your last example is a plain as day insufficiency of the human psychology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a hint - Ben Kingsley won an academy award for portraying the leader in a movie. Was it the industrial revolution and did he play the steam engine?
