Moderation Questions

Sort of true. Once it fails we get a chance to improve things but we dont! For some reason we dont think it's our job to do anything.

Then a few years later they're back and stronger with even more angry, frustrated 'vulnerable minded' people to feed off in a system further weakened by the systemic problems.

I have Laggy winning all rounds on my scorecard!

And I love the socialists who say “the only type of oppression I don’t believe in is that of disaffected young men who have no positive outlet for masculinity, no job, no friends, and who are constantly **** on by the media and called the source of all the problems in the world”

Sure, but as you say, it doesn’t have to work for longer than the short term. And if it doesn’t work past the short term how much longer will it take to fix those issues?

The fact is that it’s not all white men either. Hispanic and black men are also trending towards Trump for similar reasons as white men.

It's not been my observation of the world that the dickheads aren't getting girls

I didn't want to say it.

I think we would need a few more post covid elections to try and say there is a trend and what the reasons really are

and does becoming a nazi solve these problems or get them pussy?

If by Nazi you mean Trump supporter, I don’t know. That’s an empirical question. Is there any data on whether conservative men are less likely to have sexual partners?

I will say that this dismissal of the economic and social conditions is a little funny from the people that want to abolish prisons and border patrol because it’s white supremacist to enforce laws.

You do make me laugh ♥

if you're a white male loser who blames "crime" and immigrants for your poor economic and social conditions then you might be a ~nazi, yeah

I'd rather hear more about your personal experience; how do the dickhead beta types fare?

fair enough if this is your attitude about a massive shift in our culture that is seeing Republicans gain ground with young men and non-white men, but I for one don’t think that calling them all nazis is going to be an effective strategy

cool, thanks

these are message board posts, not a political strategy

oh so you wouldn’t advocate this, you are just being bad faith because it’s a message board. so you don’t actually stand by any of this rhetoric?

Speaking of bad faith, 72off also claimed that some of the mods here supported apartheid in South Africa, but when asked by me to name names he refused to do so.

Or maybe he just didn't see my post.

Guess we'll see what happens.

Trump won't be on the ballot anymore though, and his absence could change trends yet again

perhaps the fact that the loneliness is also about lack of friends and it's even stronger for Asians than for whites, in the USA among the z gen? at least that's what the various polls tell us

What socialists say this? A main critique of the modern liberal capitalist world from a socialist perspective is how atomized and alienated it makes people.

every socialist who insults young men when they vote right says that they are disgusting losers who deserve their ignonimity and so on.

Words mean things. Socialism means workers own and operate companies. It's the opposite of wage slavery. We shouldn't capitulate to idiocy.

Maybe don't become a Nazi if you want other people to like you, ez game.

Look at your fellow socialists in this thread.

Besides, Marx says this but no moral judgment is placed on this and no compassion is extended to the people who are alienated.

If your alienation leads you to become right-wing, you become a class traitor, not someone to feel compassion towards. Alienation makes you a target.

you are once again confusing socialists with liberals.
