The only lord of the land I recognise are the ones from dungeon keeper and I'm proud of what I did to them.
Someone who knows claiming to be an, "alpha male," is cringey as shit but still needs people to know that they believe they are indeed an "alpha male."
I recommend therapy

Everyone That Liberals Disagree With Must Be Mentally Ill (And Mental Illness Is Bad And Contemptible And Mentally Ill People Should Be Silent), A Bedtime Story For Liberals
(And Mental Illness Is Bad And Contemptible And Mentally Ill People Should Be Silent)
Y'know I didn't think about it much but this is a point you're bang on with. To the liberal, mental illness (and also neurodivergence) are a moral failure, and like all perceived moral failures, the gloves are off if you've even mildly offended the adults in the room.
Thank you. I feel that self-described so-called "leftists" that go straight toward the "you're insane" line of smug putdowns (especially for petty shit like treat defense) are showing their whole ass when it comes to who they think is contemptible and undeserving of speech.
Oh you think that’s a clever retort? Well what if I told you

Haha relevant Wikipedia article posted OWNED
The two books he mentioned in an earlier comment in that thread are Red Holocaust (a German-language book that doesn't appear to have been translated into English in my cursory look) and Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang (which is basically a hit-piece on Mao).
Jung Chang's idea of citing multiple sources is asking the CIA, the State Department, the President, some USAID organizations, and a few CIA assets. Then deciding to just make stuff up anyway to make Mao into a comic book supervillain.
but but but it's printed, here, on paper. that means it must be true. they wouldn't let them print my books if they weren't true, right?
"I want legal weed and free college but caring about things too much and wanting to improve society somewhat is naive and bad."
My father recently did a genealogy assessment and woah mama that was a lot of fascism. I'm just lucky my German mother didn't look that into it bc we definitely have family in Argentina
My mom’s dad’s genealogical tree is like that, lot of white people in the South going back to the 1600’s who owned a lot of slaves.
I am closely related to a land owning nord who loved hitler so much he wanted to give him a shit ton of the land he owned. There is a picture of them shaking hands. Wish I could sever that bit of my bloodline
If I were Jewish his anti-communist German grandpa would probably try to shoot me anyway.
People with more money (or big credit lines) than sense
I had a boss owned multiple before. The high end cars are nuts he would be straight up watching tv while driving.
he wasn't that bad though he would use loopholes in the company payment system to get us more money
Large family? My family growing up had 3 cars (not EVs) for 2 adults and 5 teenage kids in a rural area. I could see owning multiple low-end EVs, there was a period where they were subsidized pretty heavily and you could get them cheap (around 2015)
Unpopular opinion: people's entry to theory SHOULD be Adam Smith to prevent people like this.
Adam Smith is actually low key goated. Marx builds a lot off of him, and corrects some things but keeps a lot of it when describing capitalism and how it functions and developed. Adam Smith hated landlordism and rent seekers, and he acknowledged that specialized production can lead to alienation of the laborers. His issue was only some major assumptions and blind spots. It was certainly a start, and a lot better one than whatever reactionary nonsense is spewed in the modern day to children from prageru ads or GOP written history books
Exactly. Ricardo was the thinker Marx actually butted heads with. Smith though? Pretty sure him and Marx would have ended up getting along if they lived in the same time. Once you understand just how much Kapital builds on Wealth of Nations, it's a total game changer. One of the things that broke through my liberal programming quite hard.
