@chaosprime you said it right here, matehttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/988936474191171584 …
lol okay i take it back, you love the left and want it to be perfect which is why you direct your energies toward its perfection is between those lines where i was relentlessly stanning for SJW ideology too
-

I don't love the left, I see it as a practical political tool. If there were other tools on the table I'd give it up as a bad job. But there aren't other tools, not as far as I can see. Right now I'd like to see a new political force that I could sign up to, but I don't see 1.
-
we're gonna have to find, promote, or build new tools. the existing political factions are all rotten and fulminating.
-
I agree with this, but I have no hope of it actually happening, tbh. The time to redirect the trolley onto a track that would do less damage was years ago.
-
well that's a bleak assessment. you may be correct, but I haven't given up. there may be some more years of insane bullshit but I do think a course correction is still possible.

if you can find a way to bottle your optimism and have it intravenously administered to a needy patient, then you have a customer.

and I didn't say you relenteleslly stan for SJW ideology, just that you're doing so in this thread where you're accusing me of being right wing for saying that the microaggressions concept is a gift to sociopaths.
-
yeah i don't think that's what i'm doing you're not wrong that it's a gift to sociopaths, but if we stopped making observations of our environment because a sociopath might leverage them opportunistically we'd make few fucking observations indeed
-
this I disagree with. there are some things that are hard(er) for a sociopath to manipulate, such as anything that allows confirmation, or anything that's written down. They can still do it in many cases, but it's much harder work, with more risk of exposure.
-
okay, fair
-
but the thing is you, and others, did pretty much do the "you're against burning witches? You must be a witch!" thing that I'm very tired of getting from ppl on the left (I get it from ppl on the left mostly 'cos I know very few real right wingers. Maybe none)
-
actually if you look at my participation in the thread specifically you'll notice that i actively avoided doing that and made an effort to validate concerns with the state of affairs where valid

I should be clear on one point here, when I said "the modern left" earlier, I meant SJWs. I see them as having achieved near total takeover now, they effectively are the modern left.
-
yeah sure i get that, though i would have said "progressives" because i guess i care more about whether i sound like a /pol/lack
-
Well, the problem with all these terms is that you wind up throwing people under the bus that don't really belong to the group your talking about, but that's tough to over come.

abstractions leak? huge if true
