Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

@Eris Then what does that make you for trying to argue with me?

@Eris They might be, but at least I can have them.

Who knows? Maybe you'll even change my mind. It'll work a lot better arguing with me than what they do on those other websites.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Literally history. The most important events of the 20th century.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Who the fuck are you to deny the great leader his coke? You gave him all the power, he can do all the coke he wants! If you have anything to say about it, do the concentration camps, dissident!

I missed arguing.

Fediverse, y'all are amazing. Never change.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Ask Hitler. He's the one who decided to do it, and made East Germany communist for the next 50 years.

It turns out that even your mighty right wing authoritarian can become a coked out idiot and do a bunch of stupid shit, and because you gave him all the power, he has all the power he needs to fuck you right up.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel
>Become authoritarian right wing regime
>invite the marxist hores in
>become communist for the next 50 years

god damnit!

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel My argument is that you're gonna get cucked if you hand the reigns to someone else. The only way to live is to live free, and make your own decisions, and to insist on it.

By the way, the German people got badly fucked by Hitler, especially when he invited the Russians in to rape and pillage half of the country. How's that for getting fucked in the ass? It turns out that giving the guy running the country a bunch of cocaine wasn't such a great idea after all.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Is the pope the head of the catholic religion and now espousing a bunch of retarded bullshit and making it the official stance of Catholicism?

Perfect example of unintended consequences. "Yeah! Now we'll get our right wing...wait, they're doing commie shit because the pope said to? God damnit!"

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Have you seen the Pope lately?

Might want to reconsider your stance.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Which goes right back to my previous point that you think it'll be exactly what you want, no more and no less. That's always what people think, right up until you wake up with a dick in your arse and a toothbrush moustache brushing your ear.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Or perhaps you don't believe as strongly in authoritarianism as you think you do.

@Glowberg_Fedstein @Eris @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel

At no point has my issue been about the "right wing" part, it's about the "authoritarian" part. Having someone that doesn't even know you come in and plan your life for you, to make your decisions for you, and to hand over your soul in the hopes that by turning into a good little lemming you will somehow magically be successful, it doesn't matter what that person believes. The world simply does not work that way.

Although I think that building something is a virtue, I also think that the only way to achieve that virtue is to be a free person who goes about trying to make their way with hard work, wits, intelligence, and behaving in a way that helps others ultimately trust you and want to give you opportunities.

Economics tells us that if everybody is trying to do something then you have a supply and demand problem. In one way we're kind of living through that right now -- because the government has stepped in and forced people to stay at home, the prices of many commodities are going through the roof. The people who produced the lumber in this case succeed, but the people who have to buy it suffer. The best opportunities are where you can or will do something that others can't or won't, or you see the value in something that others don't yet.

The only way you can make use of those opportunities is to be free to do so. Without that, without giving individuals the ability to go out and do what they think is right and succeed or fail, just like all the people trying to buy lumber at the same time it just means everybody fails.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel

That's hilarious. What, do you think that santa hitler is going to come in and go "ho ho ho! Everyone who has no skills, no ambition, and spends all their days shitposting on someone else's websites is going to be part of my cabinet now!"

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel All I see is excuses. If you refuse to play, don't complain that you didn't win.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel You're simply wrong on that. There's lots of people who oppose them for many reasons, not the least of which being they're a series of religious communes with strict rules and the people you're complaining about hate that a lot.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel The Amish seem to have built something just fine without violence.

@Eris @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 @Victor_Emmanuel Excuses again.

It's ok, I get it. It's the jews/government/crown/aliens/body thetans.

I mean, people make something of themselves all the time, but you're just being oppressed too hard! If only!

@Eris @Victor_Emmanuel @Glowberg_Fedstein @Shadowman311 Yes, that's what I expect to see. Excuses.

As if people haven't done so much more with so much less in the past.
