Old Tom isn’t reading that. He’s got he’s trees and green things to tend to.
These nerds gotta touch grass
a Marxist is someone fueled by the idea of communism

I value possessing comfortable pillows to sit on…
Oh shit oh fuck! I’m a materialist now!
sewers love this joke
I had a “friend” in high school who had a phase where he’d ask you “whats the manliness song in the world ‘random song’ or ‘material girl by madonna’”
It was always material girl

That weeby name is such a thin mostly-transparent mask over what it directly is.
Lmao, I’m reading this in an app, so the react images are just the names til you click. “Libertarian alert” being the Chris Hansen take a seat is gold
it’s directly named after an American book where the protagonist is a paedophile
I know, thus why I said it’s a mostly-transparent mask. It’s still used, with a mountain of excuses, by creepy weebs that swear up and down that their kiddie creeping entertainment is anything but what it is.
EDIT: Most glaring example in 4ch!n culture is the saying “don’t lewd the loli” which is often said with a lot of wink-wink between aspiring predators.
yeah those guys should probably be on a watchlist

I remember one time some
style character, on a western localization, went on a rant where she called a creepy reactionary misogynist a 
gater and that made gaters mad enough to stalk and doxx the translation company.
The meaning of a word can be different things at different times depending on context
I don’t think liberals realize that words can have meanings at all. They would just make noises to communicate positive or negative feelings if they were allowed to.
I get far too much use out of this quote
Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

God I love DE. After everything went down, there was something kind of bittersweet about reading the fan translations of A Sacred and Terrible Air. Gave me the same sense of finality as finishing NITW or Hotline Miami 2. A total aberration, an emotional high never to be upped or repeated - for better and worse.
they’re the chatgpt of people

There are definitely issues in US institutions, but a liberal is not going to defend the shortcomings
Lol, remember when Hillary tried to counter Trump’s “make america great again” with “america is already great”?
And then she became the first wamen presindent because she did not defend the shortcomings, the rest is herstory
jesus christ, the final sentence is just absolute chef’s kiss
bro, you just spent two paragraphs not knowing the definition of fucking words and making up a load of shit that loosely parrots what you learned on reddit. you’re the one lost in the sauce, shut the fuck up
It kind of sucks because you could have an interesting clash of ideas with someone who disagrees with the material basis of ideas. It’d sound like a debate about whether math is invented or discovered. If ideas are before material conditions and ideals will outlive any condition, then it would imply the existence of an objectively superior leader who is wisest regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in. We’d owe Aaron Sorkin an apology. You’d have to reread Berserk and say that Griffith did nothing wrong. You’d have a Calvanist world where some people are chosen by fate to lead. Truly, the divine right of kings would be back on the menu. The most correct monarch would be protected by God in battle and their people would be the chosen people. Then when barbarians overrun them and they think back to their former glory, they realize that a new leader has been reborn from the ashes who needs to lead them to repel the invaders and interlopers. They’d be justified in concentrating the unworthy and disposing of them. And they would have gotten away with it if communists hadn’t saved the world from fascism.
Material Girl was a marxist song actually.
Amazing how much confidence someone can have while showing zero understanding of what they’re talking about.
How the fuck do you write multiple paragraphs of useless, condescending shit all because you can’t fathom words having multiple meaning that are context-dependent, which is kind of a core staple of language. Like, define “run,”, you fucking liberal nimrod.
Sophists gonna use sophistry.
There’s a reason why so many Sophists got stabbed in ancient Greece and their equivalent of law enforcement couldn’t be bothered to prosecute the stabbers.
Again, this person simply doesn’t know the lexicon, but their heart is most likely in the correct place
Their heart is in the exact wrong place…
Not just incorrect, but deciding to lecture and chide despite the fact that someone just gave them a short definition they could go look up and verify. Take the 60 seconds to do that? Nah, they’ll just make stuff up, make it about their ego. God forbid they challenge their beliefs in any way.
It was a post literally explaining what liberalism is to a liberal. I didn’t have high hopes. I agree jargon can make things unnecessarily confusing, but this is 101 stuff.
Really unfortunate linguistic clusterfuck here.
I do actually think marxists should be careful when they throw out “materialist”. It will absolutely flummox libs every time. Know your audience folks.
I agree and disagree. Or maybe I agree but want to disagree. the materialist versus idealist divide is such a basic and important concept in philosophy that I feel like anyone should at least understand that the words have different meanings in that context. but getting people to understand that words are just tenuous representations of concepts is a hard sell.
other problematic words are fetishism and reactionary
