Yes, we want to say bitch. Bitch.

Fucking Winnie-the-Pooh-ass bitch.

Yeah, it was funny, but wouldn't say it's exactly useful here.

Yeah, it's the ultimate midwit take. Smart enough to realise it's an abstraction, not smart enough to realise that there's a base reality (goods themselves being scarce) beneath it.

I mean, it's pretty damn low though.

No, they're not rational in the face of anything. They're stupid virtue-signalling that does nothing to reduce climate change. The only way they could possibly be rational is that they get people talking about them, but climate change is not some little-known issue. The entire world has been screaming about it for the past 20 years. If you haven't been listening, some cunt with soup isn't going to change that.

Wow, I disagree with every single word of this. You seem to be saying that it's worth sacrificing liberal rights to attack the right (which you are falsely claiming to be fascists - fascism is a specific ideology, not just an insult for anyone on the right). But in doing so, you become worse than the right.

As a social democrat, I am willing to support and ally with democratic socialists. While we have some differences, we're both pulling in the same direction. Your revolutionary leftism, on the other hand, is further beyond the pale for me than any liberal ideology.

If this is what your project requires to succeed, then may your project fail.

More Jeremy Corbyn here, but yeah. her as well.

No, because I explicitly mean to blame aspects of the ideology of progressivism for this.

I absolutely get the difference, and agree with you on your examples, but I do mean progressivism.

Jews are the group I was thinking of. A lot of left-wing anti-Zionism leans into antisemitism, justified by a false sense that Jews are privileged.

I'm not saying progressives are conservatives in general, I'm saying that that definition of conservatism includes many progressives.

The dynamic of "oppressed" and "privileged" groups contains elements of this, where the "oppressed" groups are protected and not bound, while the "privileged" groups are bound and not protected. Scare quotes are used primarily because some groups that I would say are oppressed are sometimes deemed privileged.

Then much of progressivism is actually conservative, or at least very similar (social norms often replace law here).

While democratic socialism is a variety of socialism, Bernie isn't really a democratic socialist, but a social democrat. Social democracy is the left of capitalism, which is right of socialism in any form.

Before some moron turns up, Nazism is not socialism.

The raised-arm salute isn't inherently bad, it's bad now because the Nazis did it. And so, America using a similar salute before the Nazis doesn't mean America was as evil as the Nazis.

It's no different in function from any other form of demonising the outgroup. It's slightly less bad than some because your political views can change, but it's still a sign of politics gone wrong.

Two zs, otherwise it'd be the past tense of speze.

I don't mean my bootloader though. The UEFI menu can't be accessed using the standard method of pressing a key.

Somewhere that isn't a little bitch, yeah.

Fucking up my UEFI on my laptop, making it difficult to boot into Linux.

Undoing that.
