President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
I can't begin to wrap my head around Ayn Rand as the political ideal. I admittedly am a bit put off by what a terrible writer she was at the individual sentence level.
i didn't list it as ideal rather as a famous name associated with complete anti communism & libertarianism.
in hindsight I could have written John McAfee, probably you guys know him as well
If people from Mao to Biden always coalesced , in democracy you will govern 100% of the times.
But you would achieve very little, possibly even nothing, because the vast majority of those 1-40s are bunched up in the 30-40 range.
Hes probably not on drugs when hes out in public. Adderall is more believable than ketamine. Its not hard to spaz out for 10 minutes. Hes reportedly done recreation drugs and not sure where the ketamine thing comes from but I've been around people using ketamine recreationally and they don't act like Elon. Its probably got some truth to it in that he has done ketamine befor

Rightwingers have had so few legit cultural icons they have to artificially elevate the few ****birds they do have to legend status. Not like the free market is going to work its magic for them.

Approximately none of them actually read. They talk about Orwell and obviously don't understand him even though they *may* have read 1984 or Animal Farm. They never read Hayek or Adam Smith and talk about them. Pretty hard to believe they actually slog through the horrible writing of Ayn Rand.
So much for "you know nothing" jfc , terrible guy you are truly. The stereotypical horrific leftist.

Wat? you are a radical leftist and a self-identifying marxist, he is just a leftist. Not the same expression. From 1 to 100, where 1 is Mao 100 is Ayn Rand, you are like 8 he is like 28.But i can barely tolerate a 40-something, and i start feeling we are the same species with 80-something, so yes, in SOME SENSE you are both way beyond salvation even if i can rank you as differe
Well, nobody is going to be able to understand these more subtle classifications of your enemies when all you do is go around calling everybody to the left of 90 on your scale "leftists" when many of them are objectively not. See your response above -- the person you're speaking to is roughly as far apart ideologically to me as he is to you! (on your scale, he's around 50) But nah, we're both "leftists", according to a few thousand separate posts you've written.

Yeah, he was the dude who formed a monopolistic and very annoying anti-virus software company, and then dissolved all his ties to that company and fled to Central and South America, whereafter he was a crypto grifter, up until he was set to be extradited to/imprisoned in the US, and so he killed himself while pretending that he was getting Epsteined to fool his dumber followers into thinking he was more of a danger to the system than he ever was. In other words, a real champion.

Man...
I read The Fountainhead when I was 17. It was the worst novel I've read before or since. The nut worst. I'm saying this completely independent of its politics; just as a work of art. The thing is like 1200 pages and NOT ONE character resembles a fully 3-dimensional human. Even the protagonist Howard Roark and the architecture lady he rapes whose name I forget are absolutely paper-thin as characters.
When I was still at page 1, I was libertarian-curious. By the end, I was to the left of Che Guevara 😆
Edit: I see it's "only" 753 pages long, I guess it just felt like 1200+
Rand worked long hours through 1942 to complete the final two-thirds of her manuscript, which she delivered on December 31, 1942.[68][69] Rand's working title for the book was Second-Hand Lives, but Ogden pointed out that this emphasized the story's villains. Rand offered The Mainspring as an alternative, but this title had been recently used for another book. She then used a thesaurus and found 'fountainhead' as a synonym.[65]
Real author **** right here! 🙄
Protests might present opportunities for various forms of social unrest, but the people committing violence are usually cops or other infiltrators and the people looting are not the ones with deep political convictions, probably literally couldn't tell you the difference between the political Right and political Left.The people marching in the BLM movement wanted justice, not m
In response to people setting tesla dealerships on fire you said " I wish people would do more of this". I don't know why you're going on and on about property vs violence. We're seeing arson and you said you wanted "more of this". You've been getting it for a decade. The media manufactured the hands up don't shoot riots and birth of BLM. There was endless arson, looting, and riots over a degenerate rightfully being shot. Then there was floyd. Life long scumbag on fentanyl was resisting arrest and was restrained "unconventionally". Endless looting and riots. On and on and on. This was everything from endorsed, justified, condoned, explained away, minimized, or gaslit by left wing media, politicians, participants, and spectators. The whole "we need more of this" as if it hasn't been a decade of it at any opportunity is a weird take. Like arson as a reaction to things you don't like isn't something new here
What the right-wingers call "violence" is almost always against property. Left-wingers usually use the term to mean hurting people.
The arson is on property. That is what we are discussing. I mentioned the looting, riots, and arson have been a tactic used, supported, or condoned by the mainstream left for a decade. The whole violence vs, is an argument you've fabricated in your head
I get as a far leftist (arguably extremist) that you have a weird relationship with property and property rights, but normal people see looting and arson over most of the issues in the last decade as totally unhinged. None of this is even close to Rodney King.

Lol at having a knee on his neck for over 8 minutes and an entire 90 seconds after he's already dead = "unconventional" (quotes being your emphasis to imply there was nothing wrong or unconventional about it).

Throughout modern American history, right-wing extremists murder people, while left-wing extremists damage property. This has been thoroughly and conclusively demonstrated. This is our (your "far leftists'") concern.

But, you see, George Floyd was a "life-long scumbag" "on fentanyl" "who was resisting arrest", therefore it's ok to murder him. He broke rules. This is a country of rules. Break a rule, you get murdered by a member of the state's fascist death squads, go cry some more lib.
The above is literally the best argument the conservatives have been able to muster up with this one.
It is wild to watch the same side beating off over human misery, pain and suffering clutching pearls over a car in a dealership being set on fire
Y’all need Jesus
I don’t advocate destruction of property but I sure as shit am not going to lose sleep over it compared to, checks notes, mobs killing human beings
As someone who smokes a lot of weed, this is not proving the point you think it is
You're the only one to take our back and forth seriously.

The hilarious part is they go on and on about how that one chick wearing the Trump cape, who got smoked for breaking through the barricade where Congress and the VP were located, shouldn't have been shot because she was unarmed.
They don't understand how an advancing mob of people with bike locks, flagpoles, etc., breaking down a final barrier are a threat, but a black dude with his wife and infant in the car trying to hand a cop his DL at a traffic stop "moved too quickly."

If you smoke a lot of weed, then you certainly didn't watch the clip because he did not inhale. He puffed on it like you do with a cigar.
Eh, I thought Tuma was saying he didn't inhale and coordi was saying he did.
In any case, I'd be curious what he would sound like a few rips in, but I guess he prefers needles or sniffy jiffy.

I'm saying he didn't inhale. I stated "he didn't even hit the blunt"
I thought Tuma was defending Musk

Seriously can't understand how she has a philosophy attached to her when Atlas Shrugged just reads like a 50 shades prequel
