As previously stated by the bore heads of like economy: a drinky like is a U2 album mysteriously showing up in your playlist AKA worthless.

I will respond to you jake later.

I can't believe you scammed a like from jake by lying like that.

You should be ashamed of yourself. This is like fraud.

 
You people tempt me so much... Jakes pst was utterly irrelevant. I would have only been responding out of politeness.

You knw curly, I do remember your post, and was going to let it lie, again, out of politeness, but you have brought it on yourself I guess.

I don't think you're a covert agent I just think your ideas are confused and your fetishism of rational debate is as much about staking out an identity as anyone (God I hate how the other side has no interest in logic, how they never engage in good faith). You have a child's understanding of ideas like liberalism and want us to engage with your childish caricatures of them which is tiresome as fuck.

My original post was about Noam Chomsky. I think it was Shosta who couldn't understand how I could use the term 'classical liberal' and Noam Chomsky in the same breath. So I explained it in simple language so that it could be easily understood and so not to dwell on it. The topic was not about liberalism.

I stated, 'to sum up in one sentence' essentially the essence of classical liberalism is individual freedom. From that develops a series of questions which in turn form a body of work on the subject. For instance questions surrounding state power and the role of the state in protecting individual freedom. Whether state coercion is ever justified. More to the point whether there should be a state altogther. In other words from that foundational principle we get a train of thought that ultimately leads to anarchism, or limited government. If individual freedom is a state of being which is in some sense the right of every man, then the state's power over the individual becomes suspect. This is actually more detailed than my original post, but just to make this clear.

Here's the thing: When someone says 'to sum up in one sentence' anyone with half a brain cell, you would think, could understand that they are intentionally simplifying it. The clue is, you know... 'to sum up in one sentence'. Summing anything up in one sentence can only ever be a simplification. Yet for some unknown reason, people like you seem to interpret that as, this one sentence is literally the entire breadth of liberal thought. As if when I open a text book, I am expecting that one sentence and then, 'the end' (lol). You can't be this dense surely? You seem not to understand basic words, like: to sum up; the essence of; the root of. Words that necessary qualifies a statement a certain way. We were not having a discussion on liberalism. And so when someone like Jake comes along and states shit like, 'you know there is a whole school of thought in liberalism' or 'liberalism is more nuanced than that', well... Yes. It. Is. It is utterly irrelevant and would have turned the discussion on a tangent. We were discussing Noam Chomsky for goodness sake.

What's worse though is what is implied by your post. If I only have a childlike understanding of liberalism and that it is not worth engaging, what is that suggesting about you? It is suggesting you have an expert understanding of liberalism and so engaging with me is beneath you. Yet, for some reason unbeknowest to me, you are contesting the fact that classical in essence IS about individual freedom. It is the 'root' of it. The foundational principle where all thought stems outward from. I can't for the life of me see why you would if you knew anything.

I mean... read this first sentence curly.

This demonstrates something to me. You are reading my posts at a distance. You're not trying to get the point I am making you are looking for something to get me on. I don't actually think you're as dense as you seem. What I actually think is you were looking for something as a point of contest. It was a short post of me explaining why I associated Noam with Classical liberalism. WHat it was not was an indepth conversation on liberalism. I was not writing an essay on liberalism. So why then do you make it such? Well, I think I know...

Dude this whole post is you making a million inferences and creating a whole psychological profile about your opponents based on the thinnest of evidence! The exact thing you've been complaining about this whole fucking time!

Anyway the point in contention is whether summing up liberalism in a short sentence is a worthwhile and possible endeavor at all, which Jake pretty convincingly shows is not.

I think the economy should be based on something like a Willco like standard. He’s never coming back so there’s a finite amount, but he distributed them freely enough in his day that they may serve as a substitute for something like gold.

[agrajag]

this is why I took my talents to Twitter, much easier to farm hundreds of likes without breaking a sweat. I suspect that's what Besada was doing.

I'm not saying you are. Just don't give me the crap that it has nothing to do with heterodox opinions.

"lots of people make posts about how I'm wrong, but it's only because I'm expressing ideas they believe are wrong!"

YouTuber Steven Crowder set up one of his “Change My Mind” panels outside of the White House Monday and asked people to change his mind that President Donald Trump is not a racist.

Chaos ensued when an aggressive anti-Trump protester sat down at his table to discuss the topic. The protester refused to leave at Crowder’s request and prompted security to step in and physically remove him.

So the skull measuring enthusiasts at quillette had some guy who claimed he was a marxist-leninist to concern troll about how the DSA sucks and all, but it was so obviously fake that everyone mocked it six ways from sunday. apparently it got bad enough that quillette decided to suppress the man's first amendment rights quietly pull it from their website:

Putting this here:  This guy was a very well known name in speech recognition

https://www.wbal.com/article/404440/127/professor-fired-over-confrontation-with-protesting-students
http://danielpovey.com/leaving.html

What I do find very odd, though, is that any straight white male would buy into it. It's the same as if a gay Jew were to join the Nazi party and begin endlessly apologizing for his ancestors having lent money to Aryans at too-high rates of interest; and agreeing that he needs to recognize his "problematic Jewishness" and "toxic homosexuality", stop talking, and make space for Aryan voices to be heard. He might even take pride in having acknowledged the uniquely cancerous and exploitative nature of the Jewish people, despite being one himself. So is this person virtuous, or is he just too-easily manipulated? You decide.

He was also well known to be batshit.

Conservatives reacting to the NYT 1619 Project:

It's sort of pointless... It's kind of like talking about the founding principles of the United States and saying we must talk about slavery.

[Great Rumbler]

The "white people don't get enough credit for ending slavery" argument is just...

[VomKriege]

Wouldn't slavery as a concept been pretty prominent, at least as a concept, in the discussions of the founders of the USA ? The US regalia draws from the same greco-roman imagery that was similarly popular in Europe and AFAIK a lot of the discussion for French thinkers of the time was basically how Athens and / or Sparta minus the unsavoury slavery were the absolute best models for a Republic.
