An Embedded Software Engineer who does game dev as a hobby.
I’ve had a couple lemmy arguments where I missed a subtle point that the other person was making and mistook it for something else.
You just got to bite that bullet, I usually say: I’m sorry. I misread what you were saying. It’s my bad.
And then I continue on with any other disagreements I may have, but if there’s none then I usually end it with. Have a nice life.
The moment it is more about winning than it is about truth, the less interesting the conversation is to me.
I don’t understand why this is so hard for you to understand. There were only two options in the last election. Yeah, the Dems were shit, but they were way less fascist.
If you didn’t vote for the Democrats you were voting for fascism. You enabled the fascist party of the United States of America to take charge. You helped fascists take charge of the most powerful country in the world.
As I’ve stated before, there was no vote that you could make that wasn’t going to result in genocide. This whole no voting /voting for a third party thing is just a virtue signal. It’s to make you feel good and that’s it.
What really makes me sick is it seems like you have no remorse. We didn’t know how bad Trump would be. But now that we do know you don’t seem to care.
At least I feel bad about the dead Palestinians. You seem to have no remorse whatsoever over the harm and death that will be caused by the people that you have helped put into power.
I hope you realize it eventually and learn from it.
Yes, 100 percent agree. Dems are useless. They could have really made a good showing when Trump started to do the fascist shit. But they decided to roll over and be smug about it.
What do you think you are accomplishing by being such an insufferable ass?
Did you forget you were calling me progenocide a couple replies ago? I’m sorry I was just following the vibe. I guess you can dish it but you can’t take it.
Assuming what is in heart incorrectly doesn’t counter my facts.
I didn’t vote for the Dems because of loan forgiveness, I voted for them because they were the least fascist option.
It’s ok though, I understand you are struggling with how your vote supported rapidity brining fascists to power. The large amount of death caused by the loss of USAID. Sending of innocent people to El Salvador concentration camp. Autistic people being marked as non-human. And look at that, it isn’t even half way though the first year of this term.
Literally, your only hope right now for a good outcome is if soo many people die that we 180 out of this with a revolution that somehow doesn’t result in another authoritarian being in charge soon. Seriously, shit is soo fucked right now, I am an accelerationist.
We all did, we all voted for it. We didn’t all vote for fascism though. That was a you thing probably.
No matter what action you took in this last election. You were voting for genocide.
So accusing anyone of voting for genocide is kind of silly because everyone did. No one really had a choice.
Yes. I wonder what the outcomes of centering the soldiers gult is?
Do we want the solution to be that soldiers have to consider every order given within the historical context of the time to decide the morally correct actions and do them even if it means court martial or death?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m okay for soldiers to do this in extreme examples. But I don’t think this should be the norm.
I think we should shift the focus to the leaders instead of the soldiers. They are better positioned to make these decisions and have the time to do so.
And it’s their job.
Be that as it may, the left is not going to do well if the prerequisite to having discussions is to read a bunch of literature. I think we need to find a way to make our tent bigger.
Thank you for your reply.
Why? Information is information. Why does it matter if it comes from books or videos?
I watch Vaush a lot and I haven’t seen what you are talking about.
Yeah, I am not surprised that you have disagreements behind Lenin and AES. The two are pretty related and hard to pull apart. I was just surprised that you would disagree with any of his Marxist takes. I think you both agree what the problems are from a Marxist perspective.
As for the sex offenders/sex pest stuff. I don’t think he is those things, but I understand I am just one person. From the stuff I have seen it is mostly people that disagree with him that label him as such as a way to get around the fact they don’t really have a leg to stand on; Fascists and the like. Not saying that is you of course.
Thanks for taking the time to talk this though by the way. I figure you get hit with a lot of stuff.
No idea, I have only watch him one or two times. Seemed good to me.
I do get that vibe from Vaush occasionally. Unfortunately the attention economy is a real thing and I would be impressed with anyone with the same reach as Vaush wouldn’t be doing similar things. I am not sure I would be as far left as I am without his content.
He has no grasp of Dialectical and Historical Materialism
Can you list a specific example? I think he has a good understanding of this.
I am pretty familiar with Vaush’s arguments on Marxist theory. What are your points of contention?
How can you have a problem with Vaush when he is so ideologically similar to Hasan? Unless you have have disagreements with Hasan.
As far as I know, all the criticisms of Vaush watching child porn has been misinformation.
For those that don’t like to read, you don’t have to read theory. In fact, most theory is old. There are newer and better takes on these ideas. Find a good YouTube channel that goes over the ideas. I like Vaush.
If you like to read theory, go for it. But I think there are faster and easier ways to get the concepts.
I moderate a community. Do I need to move that community? Or can I just give it over to my new account?
