  • Well that’s just absurd. Liberals have always cared about economic policy. That’s what liberals have been from their beginning. The liberal Revolution was the capitalist Revolution and vice versa. They’re inherently linked. What you are spouting here is a myth that liberals tell themselves and others to try to justify them continuing the capitalist system even though it goes against everything else they claim to believe, and which they will always favor over those supposedly beliefs.



  • I’m rewatching a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for the first time since I think it came out I guess. There’s two things that are striking me. One they all just stand around while bad things happen a lot, but I guess that’s just Anime. The other thing is I have no idea it was so long. It’s too long. I guess I remember it being like you know 28 episodes or something. This show is stretching so much. It should have been shorter.

    edit Oh and one more thing, where are all the Alchemists? In a show called Fullmetal Alchemist outside of the first few episodes there aren’t any. It’s weird there’s not more running around.

    What an absurd comment. What an enormous straw man you’ve managed to build here.

    Truly this is the mindset that scares me about the future. The idea that education and knowledge and preparedness should be discouraged. The idea that being able to look at and identify the trends of impending fascism should be discouraged. You’re like an anti-vaxxer. The disease of fascism Rises and you sit there without a mask.

    Well okay, even I’m a little stunned at how easily you walked into this.

    So to summarize your comment there. You are an inherently Superior being. No matter what situation you were thrust into raised into whatever, you were better than other people. Kind of an Übermensch if you will. You’re just that much better than those others. Those others can be convinced to do evil because they’re inherently less than you. Those others include the entire people of Israel. They’re inherently less than you, the Übermensch. Interesting…

    I’m not sure who on Earth you were quoting here (im guessing yourself) or what it has to do with anything we said. Absolution has never been our topic.

    But since we’re asking questions I’d like you to go back and answer the question I asked a couple responses ago that you ignored. Your argument is that people who commit war crimes atrocities are special. Only certain select people do them. You’re not one of those people, you’re innately Superior to those people. And I just want to know again who those people are? How do you identify them? What makes them so inherently evil? How are there so many of them? Inexhaustibly throughout human history in every people and culture.

    Before you answer that question though I’d like you to look at that quote you posted that I assume is from you. I noticed you said something in that quote. You said Netanyahu convinced the people of Israel of the same. He convinced them. How did he do that? I thought it was only certain people. I thought you couldn’t be convinced of things like that. Isn’t that the Crux of your entire argument? That only the other people are capable of those things? How do you convince a whole people? Surely you’re not going to make the argument that all Israeli people are inherently evil, so doesn’t that rather break your entire argument apart here?

    That’s not even remotely close do anything I said.

    However I wanted you to consider something. In our conversations you’ve shown yourself to be extremely judgmental, quick to anger, exceedingly hostile, inability to consider points of views of others, you’ve shown a sense of innate self-superiority, and an inability to empathize. If I were trying to describe the people most susceptible to being conditioned to commit war crimes and atrocities those are all traits I would absolutely list. You’re not special. Nobody is.
