Dumb stuff liberals say to radicals III

Thread II hit the 500 post mark.

Let's keep this train rolling. ;)

Entitled fucker saying

When I was little my parents stopped taking me there when they found out that Carl's Jr hates the gays. I haven't been back because I halfway forgot it exists.

Liberals who think they ought to quell folks anger in the workplace because we have to be "better" than our bosses.

I don't eat at chick-a-fila for that reason i guess, but I also hate chicken sandwiches most of the time. It was actually jack in the box he doesn't eat, but carls is more widespread and he doesn't eat there either. But he does frequent other 'anti-union' restaurants like Wendy's and the cali special in-n-out.
Overall that guy is just a fucking tool.

Also people who say "question everything"

They usually end up having bigoted views. Such as racism or misogyny.

[Atsumari]

On top of that, I also heavily dislike people who refuse to eat at chains to support the nice mom and pop shops. There are many reasons to refuse to eat at chains, but out of empathy for small businesses is ridiculous. If people found out how mom and pop's shops treat their workers, they would be begging for Carl's Jr to put all the local restaurants out of business.

[G4b3n]

"#ALLlivesmatter" "White people can be victims of police brutality too".

Would it kill you to not focus on yourself for one Goddamn second?

"The Black Panthers were basically just a black KKK"

Fuck you.

Similarly I hate people that only eat at local chains because they think it's higher quality. Here in Cali I see that alot with In-n-out. Even though their burgers are just as processed and mashed together as everywhere else at the end, and I don't blame them for being that way either. I decided I'm not going there much anymore. Their menu is dreadfully small and it's always packed with customers and I feel bad for the visibly stressed out and overworked workers.

"Just because capitalism in its current form potentially doesnt contribute to gender equality doesn't mean you need to shit on women with ambition as role models..."

When I said that the interests of women CEOs is fundamentally at odds with the interests of the vast majority of women who have to work to survive.

[Sinister Intents]

"Capitalism is a voluntary system of free trade and free movement." I started arguing with a swedish "libertarian capitalist".

I gave up quickly when I noticed the person started lying about their supposed knowledge of anarchist communism. With the shit he was talking about he obviously never even read anything serious. He repeatedly cited Rothbard and also had no clue who Adam Smith was which was hilarious.

[John Nada]

"They have the 1st amendment right to say (insert bigoted shit)! How dare you violate their right to free speech.(Goes on long rant condemning said call-out)" Then doesn't see the irony of supposedly violating(by their own standards) the anti-bigot's right to free speech.:rolleyes:

A troll session with a social democrat whose party initiated the first planks of neo-liberal in oz in the 1980's, provided the following funnies:

a] we're still socialist [they dumped the word in 1982 from the party platform]

b] we're giving the people what they want [this party is not in government and had just lost an elction on the day of this discussion].

c] those who disagree with his party, need degrees in economics and political science to understand the issues and debate in a reasonable manner using his statistics and factoids]'

Still howling at the sheer snobbery and arrogance of the guy who proved the exact point of what was wrong with his party. Mug.:laugh:

[Sinister Intents]

What if those in the community choose not to support those who willingly choose not to produce, or produce far less? We know the allure of free stuff: ever-increasing*numbers of folks will take advantage of it. Until collapse. It is human nature. There has to be limits. Enforced by someone with guns. That'll be the government.*

Anarchy (no rules) can't exist in the wild for long. Men will form groups, with hierarchies, rules, and leaders, for defense and productive efficiencies.



Lol, but muh hooman natur! Cuz captalism n statism is hooman nature and muh people nachrally greedy so gotsa have guv'ment n armed men to defend muh social clas

[Bala Perdida]

Oh my god my head hurts. Those people with a strict and racist, yet vague, definition of 'underclass' and if you don't fit it then you're not allowed to be discriminated against.

Also when white people deny that, for example, hispanics and asians with caucasian characteristics are 'people of color' just because they don't fit their racist filter on who is what. I mean, yeah definitely, the ones that look more like it are going to deal with more shit than the one's that look less like it. That's obvious. But shit, redlining is still a thing, they're just as 'ethnic' on paper, and some people can still tell just by looking at you. Also cultural issues still hold up. Oh my god, my head.

[rylasasin]

What steam is doing is not in any way capitalist, it is exploitation, it is greed, it is stupid.

Yeah, that's called capitalism.

So a switch up "something cool liberals say to radicals"

"you know all the media reports and the people walking around talking about Baltimore and how 'all these thugs' are tearing up their neighborhoods and the city, the city and the neighborhoods were never theirs, they built it, they work in them, they suffer in them, but those spaces aren't free. It's impressive that people don't even think before they start adopting these totally weird talking points. The calls for peace whether right or wrong is irrelevant because there is also the call towards destruction, the very obvious one that now has 2,000 national guard troops and 1,000 cops in the street."

a recent rundown

"You should consider changing your outfit so that you don't look like an outside agitator"

If I was an outside agitator, how would changing how I dress change that. If this day from a liberal and even leftist position is a day of international solidarity where people march, what exactly is an 'outside agitator' in light of actions negating borders? If someone is from the scary outside, from the other, but they're doing what other locals are doing, who cares?


*upon rushing into a violent situation getting pepper sprayed and grenaded to help an injured aquaintance at an unpermitted march against police that is being attacked by police in riot gear while standing over said injured aquaintance who is in a lot of pain, and briefly shouting 'off the pigs'* "EXCUSE ME HEY WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH THEM (the cops) WHY ARE YOU SO MAD AT THEM"


also the classic "WHY DO YOU COVER YOUR FACES"

Of course, the reason we should 'end homelessness' is that not doing so is more expensive to the province! :rolleyes: I'm curious, though, what are the chances that the sheer costliness of leaving homeless people on the streets will actually motivate more widespread adoption of similar policies? Is this a one-off under very specific conditions which favourably affected the degree of reactionary resistance?

[G4b3n]

MLK and Gandhi did teh revolutionz without violence!!!!!

I think if you take the time to read MLK you will find him to be more radical than liberals like to portray. He saw nonviolence as a tactic, not an ideaology. And he lead grassroots movements that had seeds of radical action.

But yes, Gandhi was a pacifist ideologue and applied it as a dogma.

Yes whitey every bad neighborhood is full of prejudice black thugs who shoot white people on sight.

Holy shit

All the "communists" of the internet hating on Bernie sanders need to re read the first section of your beloved Communist Manifesto. Especially the part about not creating a movement separate from what the workers want. Then look at who the unions have endorsed, sent hundreds of thousands to.....and then promptly shut up.

You're not a revolutionary for being abrasive and a immature. That's just a side effect of being under 21.

On another note:

We need prisons and schools and all these other violent institutions because work and maintaining a society and civilization

[StromboliFucker666]

We need prisons and schools and all these other violent institutions because work and maintaining a society and civilization
I never said we needed those things, I was just saying that we cannot expect all violent actions to just disappear as soon as the revolution ends and that we must figure out an alternative of some kind. Making everything legal would technically get rid of crime, but that does not mean that everyone would instantly change and become great people.

This is assuming you're talking about the prison system thread.

I am always kind of irked whenever I see ideological disputes between members on issues that have been discussed to death since the site's founding brought into the non-political section. It certainly is a step up from the self-pity that infests the section but still.

It's not like we had an entire argument here. I don't see how throwing a fit because someone made a political post in non political is any better than making a political post in non political. And besides, this is a political thread. It's about dumb things LIBERALS say to RADICALS. It is about politics although not in a completely serious manner.

Regardless of what anyone says the police are there and I'm glad they are. They've never hurt me because I've never giving them reason too. Ever officer I've ever met is friendly. I'm glad they are there and I'm proud of them all. Without them we crumble end of. You will at some point call 999 and let's see if you hate them if they ever seriously help you. Don't commit crime and co-operate with authoritative figures put there to enforce law and protect us. I fucking love the police, forces , paramedics and all the rest. They don't get enough pay or respect! Love them all.
