darius is actually more reasonable than u think its just
that she is frustrated with the amount of assholes that
coast on the idea that they are virtuewarriors against a
woke take over then use that as an excuse to mask their own
taste for authoritarianism. shes also getting shit on by
some of the most annoying leftish types and its probably
really exhausting

i agree with you about how annoying it is that leftists wont
let you label them or describe them or attribute anything to
them. they are super comfortable with labelling everything
around them as fascist racist phobic colonial zionist
whenever they want so its very unfair

Keep an eye out. You will not be able to engage in any sort
of exchange where you even levelheadedly argue against her
communism or braindead "intersectional" ideals without her
attempting to dismantle your argument by claiming you get
your ideas from some right wing idiot. And her ideas are so
fucking easy to dismantle, literal children can out think
your average marxist.

Anyway she used that tactic here with you, and she'll do it
next time as well. And she did it the last 50 times anyone
opted to engage with her. She has no actual rebuttal aside
from that. I've lost every shred of respect for her.

Even this is ridiculously disingenuous. You're simply
pretending that I haven't tried to engage you in good faith
multiple times and EACH TIME you ultimately attempt to
assail the argument by assuming it's source is some trash
media. And don't pretend you're not doing that here. That is
what you did, it's what you'll continue to do. I'm not
giving any credence to the whole victim thing. You're a

The funny thing is you know exactly who and what I meant by
every one of those things. Without a doubt. Every single
person here knows the type of people I'm shitting on. I'm
just not using your preferred speech.

And I'm also not supposed to be able to say anything bad
about these people at all, it's taboo.... because of some
intersectional power dynamic thing which dictates I'm
supposed to keep my mouth shut to reallocate social dynamics
to those who have had a lower equity stake. But since I
don't subscribe to that utter and complete horseshit, I
don't care.

Either way, that bit there was more directed at the
progressive, anticapitalist activist movement itself, the
bit I directed towards you directly was about the way you
write off a direct opinion in a reply by attempting to lump
it in with what you perceive as media slop. It's not just
here, it's not just me, it's not just Ampi, you do it every
time. I've called you out on it before, and shown you
examples before, and each time you fail to see it for your
self. It's not just broad opinions like my little spiel
there, it is direct and nuanced replies, from multiple
people over multiple years. I can't be any more clear than
this, and if you need examples pour over our last 10
conversations, which all started off cordial, before I
realized that you're just playing some kind of game.

Tony likes to write off this sort of rhetoric as "gamergate
stuff" too, although I don't even know which side of
gamergate is which and didn't care about the actual igniting
issue. I did care that all of a sudden all the reviewers for
every single site became black feminist activists over night
though, that I did notice. And I stopped reading reviews
from "critics" entirely.

I don't need to subscribe to some political platform to know
what kind of people are setting the "sensitivity" guidelines
for things I USED to like. I can figure it out myself quite
easily. I'm calling them HR Karens. Every last is a
progressive woman.

Heh. Nice try. If you actually were an honest actor, I'd
definitely tell you what I think about feminist activists
masquerading as video game reviewers, and how instead of
reviewing a game they're really reviewing it's worth solely
in terms of progressive virtue in terms of the issues they
actually care about:race and gender. I might have that
discussion with you. But you'd just pick out the key words,
frame is as some bullshit question, and ignore every salient
point possible. Since you're *actually* a dishonest pile of
shit, I won't bother.

Describe to me how this issue has affected you. Have you
felt lost without the guidance of a trustworthy video game
review? Have you looked at any games I’ve recommended? I
can tell you about them if you like. I don’t like them for
social justice reasons. I have very little interest in pop
culture political discourse, did you know that? Though
it’s fun to look at the broader sociology of games
sometimes.

What I truly think is that nearly every stereotype and
cliche about a group of people is largely true. INCLUDING
whatever stereotype you have for me, to a degree. I mean
Tony isn't that far off with like "Gamergate chud." It's not
quite right, but you need to talk to someone earnestly to
get to their individual meat. I've engaged you earnestly
several times, and never have acted in good faith. You don't
respond to the major point, you nitpick the minor one, and
you pretend you don't know what I'm talking about right now.
Heh. I think you probably are the most singularly triggering
individual I've met online. It's NOT because of your
different opinions, but just your conversational methodology
and intellectually dishonest approach. But anyway. I'm gonna

it’s a common anti-trans activist take. there are a few
variations (it’s not a particularly consistent ideology)
but it goes something like, trans women are unsuccessful men
who think women have it easy and they resent that, so they
transition for easier access to sex and women’s spaces,
and they force lesbians to have sex with them under threat
of cancellation.

it’s a bit sad when people let others do their thinking
for them.

You pretend the communist alternative will be anything other
than a unilateral loss of rights, the arts, individuality
and basic needs. Like it has been every time.

You pretend this because you think somehow human nature will
transcend the corrupting factors like greed that ruin it
INSTANTLY, in the past, present and future. At least
capitalism and democracy accounts for greed, and does a
pretty good job of making sure everyone here had some food
and can post their bullshit on xltronic. There is no Aphex
Twin in communism, he's waiting in a bread line.

I'm not a Ben Franklin kick right now. I think he's my
favorite historical figure.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a
little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor
Safety"

You'd trade it all, for something utterly proven to perhaps
be the worst system of all of human history. I'd rather live
in a monarchy.

I'm not shying around it any more. I will tell people what I
think of their alternatives. But if you don't like the cut
of my jib you can just watch the history channel or, I dunno
a north korean news feed.

probably do actually agree, i dont like authoritarian strong

suspect there's a misfiring neuron in there that thinks you
can make true communism work, and thats what I was going

dont do that! This isnt gonna be good for business." Thats
not gonna be good for anybody. I feel genuinely bad for

You think the value of your labour and your resources should
stay at home. Similarly, in Burkina Faso for example, they
think the value of their labour and resources should stay at
home, not get expropriated by a combination of military
force and private equity groups. But the money hates this,
which is why they call Ibrahim Traore an authoritarian for
opening a gold refinery to process Burkina Faso's gold. He's
oppressing the profit margins of western investors!

Yeah, I mean I think my tax money should be invested in the
infrastructure initiatives that I voted on and not funneled
to Netten Yahoo, and so should yours in kind (triple down on
poutine cheese curds probably).

Investing in business is fine overseas really, but buying
property and majority stakes that lead to ownership becomes
a real problem. The thoroughly unlovable Chinese would have
bought the entirety of New Zealand if they could. So as in
all things, where I start from a pretty libertarian
philosophy as a beginning, pragmatism puts me more as a
moderate democrat, putting a few key restrictions on things.
But only where expressly needed.

What I just described is a proper solution. Fat, ugly, nose
ringed blue haired angry clown screeching WOMEN demanding to
take my property for redistribution... is most certainly not
a solution I will accept without the most violence I can
possibly inflict. They do genuinely want this, it's not
really debatable. It's not bravado either, I've never really
been in a fight and I don't even own a gun or like them at
all. But I'll buy one and drop each clown I can encroaching
on my property before they usurp anything of mine via the
revolution they *expressly call for.*

As dg notes the kind of property Marxists talk about is
productive property, not your personal possessions or even
your home.

And one of the major goals is to produce so much material
abundance that we exist in a state of post scarcity that
eventually makes money irrelevant. It's not about taking
people's existing shit and passing it around to create
shared immiseration.

worker owned + no money has been talked about for a long

you have to admit to everyone that communists have a theory
on how it could be possible and it requires a huge world war
that erases the existence and memory of capitalism globally
before worker ownership can happen. explain how the route to
worker owned production can be found in another way

Oh no, not force and violence! How unlike all the endless
wars, massacres, genocides, rapes, enslavements, holocausts
etc. which created and sustain capitalism.

In practice what seems to be happening over and above
conflict, and there's some of that too, is more like Hegel's
dialectic of the master and the servant. The master comes to
depend on the servant, becomes weak with learned
helpessness, while the servant who works with the world to
create, to satisfy the master's needs and then his own,
discovers himself and his power.

Until you get to the whole human nature part again. There's
no way they stop short of your front door in a
ridistribution rebellion. You will simply lose every thing
you have or die fighting. It'd be run by pure authoritarians
who especially hate people like me that refuse to be in the

because to the last woman each one of these social justice
