Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb, Bad Empanada - Confident and Dumb
Roger Waters is very dumb but dumb people tend to like him because he says some things they like. So what happens when he 'debates' an even dumber liberal on CNN?
Waters is at least as smart and informed as the average political YouTuber/streamer, if not more so (it's not a very high bar). The difference is that his comments here were made off-the-cuff during a real conversation, and not a scripted twenty minute video where he could inject tons of nuance and hedge all of his statements to be as precise and factually bulletproof as possible. He also had to couch all of his statements to not be too aggressive to the interviewer, because part of Waters' job is literally doing interviews and if he gets a reputation for being a huge asshole that could jeopardize it.
Like imagine if an argument you had with a lib family member got posted online and everyone started picking every little thing you said apart. Of course you're not making your best arguments in the heat of the moment, and of course you're not going to go completely for broke and potentially burn your bridge with that person forever. But now everyone thinks your dumb because instead of carefully explaining your points all the way through every single time, you just said the most important parts and then stopped to let the other person speak for a bit.
Anyway I watched the video and I'm not impressed. Generally I like BE but he's definitely got ultra tendencies and drama tendencies, neither of which I'm a fan of.
"You internet freak, get out of here with your concern for socialism as a project that has existed and does exist in the real world! Only non-existent socialism for me, please!"
Certain tendency-specific words are as far as I can tell tolerated to use like Ultra or Statist as long as it isnt used in a direct hostile manner to someone on the site.

CW hostile, I'm sorry

CW hostile, I'm sorry

Saying that you don't like a particular person's tendencies is not sectarian.
using the word ultra is in fact sectarian, that’s the whole point of the word
Lol

It's actually "nonsectarian" as in "nine sects" are allowed. 8 of them ML offshoots and one is anarcho-communism.
