  • Of note is the swarm of white blood cells rushing to the scene to protect and heal the wound, in this case MSM issuing an undeniably bias and motivated campaign of trying to convince people to sell their GameStop stock, which would relieve pressure on hedge funds. This is the strongest confirmation I’ve seen that the movement to bankrupt the hedge funds is viable.

    This is what occupy wall st was supposed to be



  • Whole-heartedly disagree. The truth is the only lasting remedy. Anything else, even if immediately appealing, is obfuscation and will fail eventually if not immediately.

    Which is likely: trump’s handling of W Sahara serves Biden, or Biden serves to remedy our and other’s exploitation of W Sahara with Trump’s mishandling as fodder?

    What are we talking about here? You just putting all your hope in Biden and covering the bet with justifications?

    To talk about this on the merits would be to defend W Sahara, not to attack our past selves for the crimes. Let’s see what Biden does beyond ridicule.

    To talk about this philosophically, it’s a question of incrementalism. I take your position to be that any gain is a good one. I see structured opposition and capitulations designed to perpetuate the oppression.

    But it also needs an oil change... kidding, kidding. the metaphor sucks but I’m interested in how social influence and outcome is structured re cause/effect. I liked someone’s comment here about “upstream/downstream” relationships. It’s a correlation and/or causation type problem.

    To this specific point about the left embrace of the LGBT community: this is a perfect example for the conundrum of whether to start with near and achievable goals, or to start with the hardest project first? That was the car bit, but it only addresses the Order Of Operations and misses the more interesting point of which is more directly beneficial?

    Which better improves the lives of the LGBT community: a slower gain with fewer chuds, or widespread success with those who are much closer to justice?

    Which is greater, 1/1000 of a mile, or 160% of a meter? No unpaid labor, they’re the same.

    That’s still an imperfect unpacking, I’m not sure they are the same. The cloudy part is which approach is more effective at starting any run-away cascade effects? Which is more energy efficient? Which is more effective?

    I don’t think it’s knowable.

    Curtis doesn’t speak to any of this though, doesn’t hold the chud up as some key demo either, his point, I think, is just talk to everyone, chuds included

    Totally agree. Interesting point. Couldn’t culture serve to demand and implement improved material conditions? I’m not on some wack “coalition building” kick, or even educating fallen bozos. Just hoping to box-out the power structure by undoing the intentional cultural fracturing.
