This deserves its own thread and a wider conversation, but once again Jews have been targeted by a White Supremacist who believes that they are active...

No, the passage demonstrates a profound ignorance of female sexuality, given the importance of clitoral stimulation for most women during sex. Not sur...

No it's just an exceptionally stupid sexist statement he made.
April 28, 2019 at 00:27
He's talking about masturbation

Just learned that this is an actual quote from Roger Scruton in his 1986 book, Sexual Desire damn this guy's a loser

Just a reminder that fishfry nearly a year ago wrote that Trump "made peace with North Korea", and so we shouldn't take him seriously.
April 26, 2019 at 03:04
Yeah I'm typically condescending when people don't read and don't know jackshit about what they are talking about and are overall just not intelligent...

I swear most people on this earth are simply missing half their brains.

Yeah when Marx wrote about how Capitalists, having bought the labor power from a wage-laborer, will aim to maximize the time used for that labor, that...
April 26, 2019 at 01:15
Marx spoke to and corresponded with factory inspectors and traveled to factories when writing Capital. He was originally a journalist. He wrote in det...

Ok so you haven't read Marx got it, this is great discourse
April 26, 2019 at 00:16
Have you read Marx outside of the Manifesto (assuming you've read that)?
April 26, 2019 at 00:06
Incidentally, I will be in London later this year
April 26, 2019 at 00:03
That's Capitalism baby

If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
April 24, 2019 at 23:42
The problem is that the internet was only good from around 2002ish to 2006, 2007 at most. It gets worse and worse each year and so this forum can neve...

I think Warren will do better in the polls as the debates occur
April 24, 2019 at 02:52
Marxism doesn't have much, if really anything, in the ways of a "governing ideology". That's why it's helpful to actually read Marx.
April 24, 2019 at 00:39
Is Peterson actually thinking about Marxism, or is he thinking about a shallow idea of Marxism formulated by reading, per his own admission, only one ...

Capital In the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty
April 23, 2019 at 02:16
This debate would have been much more fruitful if David Harvey debated Peterson.
April 21, 2019 at 03:21
Honestly I think if Peterson actually read Capital he would find much to agree with, since he admits as much that Capitalism is problematic, albeit in...
April 21, 2019 at 03:04
I just want to find someone who looks at me the way Peterson looks at Zizek, that man is smitten.
April 21, 2019 at 02:59
The public attention given to Peterson simply goes to show that you can be a bumbling ignoramus; just a complete clown. Yet, as long as you say things...
April 21, 2019 at 02:26
House of Reps should move forward with impeachment. The report clearly demonstrated that Trump's behavior was unacceptable, and he doesn't belong in t...
April 18, 2019 at 23:32
Again, not denying that there was rigging involved, but you can't hand-wave the fact that there was strong (and a majority) support for Clinton. Not d...
April 18, 2019 at 23:28
I strongly supported Bernie over Hillary, and while the Democratic establishment clearly favored Clinton it shouldn't be discounted that Hillary recei...

I don't know what these means when you abstract "the state" outside of the representatives who are elected who form part of it, but I also don't know ...

Sure, and Obama was a disappointment to the Left as I pointed out in the previous page, but regardless you're original comment only mentioned the left...
April 18, 2019 at 00:33
Yeah that requires political power transformed into political action, and it's only been two years since Trump was elected. What were the Dems doing t...
April 18, 2019 at 00:28
Well the Dems didn't gain seats in the 2004 House elections, and gained 31 seats in 2006. They gained 41 seats in the house in 2018, which was the hig...

I guess you missed the PEW article I posted earlier. How did opposition to Bush manifest itself, and why was it "hardcore", and what is the opposition...
April 17, 2019 at 23:34
lol this is extremely rare, might as well make lightening strikes an "issue". That you manage to attempt to twist reproductive rights into a men's iss...
April 17, 2019 at 23:28
Yeah super interesting
April 17, 2019 at 23:18
Except none of those examples listed are unique issues for men, as I explained, in the same way as, for example, reproductive rights are a unique issu...

poor fella, can't read past three paragraphs

Sounds about right for you

Global trends are distinct from local trends.

None of these are outside of the realm of Feminist issues. Feminists are typically anti-gun in part because guns are commonly used for suicide, as wel...

It also shouldn't be understated how major events can shape generations. For Millennials, the numerous catastrophes of the Bush administration, partic...
April 16, 2019 at 23:51
Not really. Leftist Baby Boomers were a minority. An extremely vocal one at times, but a minority all the same. There may be some evidence to suggest ...

Interesting how much mental gymnastics @"ssu" is willing to do to deny that Scruton's comments are problematic, yet he'll repeatedly accuse me of pain...

According to the latest Emerson Polling, Bernie Sanders is the Democratic front runner, ahead of Biden by 5% (29% and 24% respectively). Harris and O'...

God damn, can you please read what I actually write? I said you dodged the "issue" i.e. the content of the antisemitic comments, not that you dodged t...
