Fauxgressive Muslim King County, WA candidate once threatened kids on a school bus

[Derec]

We might take your OPs more seriously Derec, if you would at least sometimes start threads about crazy White men who are running for office. There are plenty of them, but you always seem to only report on the nutty ones on the left, especially if they happen to be Muslim or Black or worse yet, both.

There are more than enough threads about how white men are bad, mkay, because there are so many far left posters on here.
This, and threads like it, provide a much needed balance.

But what do you think about this psycho racist Muslim? Should she be elected to the King County board?

 

[Derec]

Disliking capitalism is the natural consequence when one is honest about what it is.

Capitalism, while not perfect, is a much better economic system that the alternatives, partiularly socialism that is now en vogue on the left fringe of the Democratic Party (e.g. the Squad).

It is not liking something else.

You have to have an economic system. If not capitalism, then what?

It is disliking an evil and destructive system of human control and exploitation.

Capitalism constructed the modern world and brought more people out of poverty than any other economic system.

M'not ok. There are threads about bad certain white men are, not how all white men are bad, as you dishonestly imply.

because there are so many far left posters on here.

Uh no, because there are so many really bad white men. More than half of BAD American men are white. White men are like, more than half of all men, so you'd have to expect more than half of bad men to be white, wouldn't you?

This, and threads like it, provide a much needed balance.

I think we need truth more than we need balance. We certainly don't need to skew the truth in order to maintain what white conservative men think of as balance.

But what do you think about this psycho racist Muslim? Should she be elected to the King County board?

Depends on what species of worms ate Louie Gohmert's brains.
Do you think yourself any more competent to assess the mental fitness of an individual on the basis of a threat uttered ten years ago, than to name the species of worms that at Louie Gohmert's brains? Or are you just another conservative following the edict to vilify anyone identified by the Nazi Party as "leftist"?

 

[Derec]

M'not ok. There are threads about bad certain white men are, not how all white men are bad, as you dishonestly imply.

And I am making threads about certain black women like this crazy-pants "progressive" candidate, not about how all black women are bad.

If I am being called out for not making threads about bad white men (and I have made such threads, btw.) why are you or Zipr or Don etc. never called out for not starting threads about bad non-white people?

Uh no, because there are so many really bad white men. They're like, more than half of all men, so you'd have to expect more than half of bad men to be white, wouldn't you?

Not necessarily. For example, per capita murder rates are highly skewed by race.

I think we need truth more than we need balance. We certainly don't need to skew the truth in order to maintain what white conservative men think is balance.

Yes, we need truth. Which includes talking about bad actors that are on the Left and/or are not white and male.
And threads about such are virtually non-existent by posters like you. If it wasn't for me and a few others, there'd be none. Is pretending all bad people are white men somehow serving "truth"?

Depends on what species of worms ate Louie Gohmert's brains.

And again, you are constitutionally incapable of thinking of anything else but about how bad white men are. Say what you will about Gohmert, but he never took a school bus hostage and threatened to blow them up.

Says the deluded that have been brain washed by some capitalist.

So many things are better.

The US attacked and crushed them all after WWII and still attacks any deviation from capitalist dictates.

You have to have an economic system. If not capitalism, then what?

A non-hierarchical top-down economic system.

You own your labor.

Nobody profits from it except you.

Worker ownership without the dead wood of management which is just a method and need of top down control.

That's what you replace top down dictatorial systems with.

Capitalism constructed the modern world and brought more people out of poverty than any other economic system.

Workers under the whip of some capitalist did that.

Trump couldn't hammer two boards together. He can't build anything.

He just puts his name on it like he did something.

…you are constitutionally incapable of thinking of anything else but about how bad white men are.

That you are reduced to sharing your fantasy about the limits of my thoughts, speaks volumes. If you are just saying shit to insult me you are truly NWRT.

Fact: There are plenty of scumbags out there of all colors. Most of them are white, and almost all of the powerful ones are white. Facts are facts, whether you bury your head in the sand or not.

ETA: just looking over the thread titles on the top page of this forum, the only individuals that are target subjects, are POC. You call that “balance”. I call it racist.

 

[Derec]

That you are reduced to sharing your fantasy

Not a fantasy, just an observation.

Fact: There are plenty of scumbags out there of all colors.

And yet you always post about the white ones.

Most of them are white, and almost all of the powerful ones are white.

Maybe slightly due to population, as you said previously. Second sentence is certainly false though. Plenty of non-white idiots and assholes in positions of power.

ETA: just looking over the thread titles on the top page of this forum, the only individuals that are target subjects, are POC. You call that “balance”. I call it racist.

Do you mean started by me, or in general?
If you mean by me: browse past the first page, which exhibits recency bias. Besides, note the Rashida Tlaib thread. She is, to paraphrase AIDS Skrillex, a fucking white woman. Also, I bet I have started more negative threads about white people than you have about some so-called POC.

If you mean overall: there are several negative threads about white people on page one.
- the guy who drove into that Muslim family up in Canuckistan.
- Matt Gaetz
- MTG

Over here we are given over to chaos and anarchy, seriously.

We have an anti American on the city council who advocates for bringing everything down and remaking in her image of justce. She is tuning for mayor.

 

[Derec]

Sure, Jen.

So many things are better.

Some examples?

The US attacked and crushed them all after WWII and still attacks any deviation from capitalist dictates.

It's all US fault, I guess.

Worker ownership without the dead wood of management which is just a method and need of top down control.

Nobody stops you from creating a company without "the dead wood of management" and dominating the competition. If it worked, that is. The reality is, companies need to be managed. They are not self-organizing systems.

Workers under the whip of some capitalist did that.

Not by themselves, they didn't.

Yes. She is quite open and plain as to what her goals are.

She is systolic of the state of politics in the area. Extreme progressivism.

There are no qualified candidates for mayor.

There’s a campaign to recall her. We’ll see.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I really don't give a shit about a person who is running for a minor position about 2000 miles away from where I live. I think it should be up to the people in her district to evaluate her.

How many hours a day do you spend looking for this kind of shit? You and I live in a state that has elected Marjorie Taylor Greene, and you expect me to have an opinion about some woman who is running in a local election in a state on the other side of the country? Seriously? You seem to have a problem. I don't look for articles in local papers that criticize some white guy who is running for a local position. We already have too many dangerous, people in our American Congress to worry about and we can gather information about them by reading any national paper or watching CNN or the evening news on any major network.

You are the one who starts threads like this one, not me. And, then you give Fox as a source, and you expect us to take this seriously?

It's one thing for those of us here to disagree, but can we at least discuss more things that are of national or international interest, instead of trying to find some minor character who may or may not have done something questionable in the distant past? Enough already.

Why do radical leftists like you and Derec always want to cancel someone for something they did years ago?

Uh, the campaign to recall her is being led by very lefty people. The neighborhood she represents is the most left-leaning of liberal Seattle. Yet many of them now want her gone.

Actually most here compare Democratic Capitalism with political Socialism. It's inappropriate to compare capitalism with political-capital systems unless one is specific. Most of Europe is capitalistic while more government links socially whereas 'merica is capitalistic with less government links socially.

Otherwise you should talk about autocratic capitalism, oligarchism etc, as members of the capitalistic category. You can't just lump corrupt societies with socialism when they are actually are mostly just failed autocracies.

With the possible exceptions of southern European social democracies people love capitalistic social democracy. They generally are doing very well thank you very much.


Americans remain center right. Yet these same Americans love such as Social Security, Medicare, Government regulated commerce and healthcare, government responsibility for roads, communication and safety.

WTF.

If you want to put us in your corner I'm defining that as FU individualism with a side of "give me my benefits" and "if they ain't from northern Europe they arin't 'mericans" praise the imaginary faerie.

There are more than enough threads about how white men are bad, mkay, because there are so many far left posters on here.
This, and threads like it, provide a much needed balance.

by my display of the forums i see 20 threads per page.

first page:
1 post by lpetrich who is just a twitter bot so that can be ignored
7 explicitly right-wing threads by two the local group of SJWs
5 threads by ziprhead who usually doesn't offer any commentary, just a link to an article
2 threads by jarhyn and JH about current events that are conversation starters without any real editorial slant
1 covid catch-all thread
1 housing thread by rhea who has no commentary just a conversation starter
1 thread by SLD about democracy which i'll grant you has a mild left wing slant in that it recognizes the issues raised by predatory capitalism in democratic processes
1 zoidberg thread and it's on the side of the plate of his ideology that skews more right-leaning
1 thread of 2022 elections with no slant or commentary

so for page 1 nearly 1/3rd of all threads are explicitly right-wing slanted in the OP, all others are neutral or only 'left wing' by an argument of insanity.

page 2:
5 right-wing OPs
2 twitter bot posts
again maybe arguably 1-2 slightly left leaning posts
a bunch of neutral posts

page 3:
same pattern

page 4:
again, same pattern

there IS a clear political spectrum bias in the threads being posted in the politics section of this forum - and it's a right-wing bias.
a select few people just spam post the absolute shit out of this forum with their drivel, and the rest of the threads being posted are mostly just news aggregation or pique about a story.

so once again the fucking classic move here by conservative/religious snowflakes: do a stupid shitty thing out of nowhere that nobody else is doing, and then scream that everyone that isn't you is doing the stupid shitty thing you're doing.

also i'm fairly certain that the number of wildly predictable far-right posters that hang out in this sub-forum outnumber the wildly predictable far-left posters.

 

[Gun Nut]

10 years ago she frightened some kids?

Apparently she scared some kids 10 years ago, yes. The Right would like her Canceled, but seem to be having some internal inconsistencies to deal with first.

The US attacked and crushed them all after WWII and still attacks any deviation from capitalist dictates.

The anarchists you so admire were attacked and crushed by communists, for deviating from communist dictates; so you're referring to the communists we attacked and crushed in North Korea, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia and Cuba? Or the ones we attacked and crushed in Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia?

Capitalism constructed the modern world and brought more people out of poverty than any other economic system.

Workers under the whip of some capitalist did that.

The "whip". You say that even though you know perfectly well there's no whip. The reason you say there's a whip is because you want to make the points that (a) the presence or absence of whips is an insignificant distinction so it's perfectly okay to claim a whipless system uses whips, and (b) that capitalism is really bad because whips. Your entire line of thinking is therefore self-contradictory drivel.

Trump couldn't hammer two boards together. He can't build anything.

Trump's a con-man. Communism and anarchism are plagued by con-men too. But if Trump were typical of capitalists then "worker ownership without the dead wood of management which is just a method and need of top down control" would keep winning in the free market.

Workers under the whip of some capitalist did that.

Not by themselves, they didn't.

They did it by themselves.

The capitalists did NO work.

Capitalists do no real work. They are parasites that profit off the work of others.

Funny story about that: every time a country gets rid of its capitalists because they're parasites, production plummets. The theory that whatever it is you classify as "real work" is the only thing needed for production evidently lacks empirical support. This never seems to interfere with the theory's true believers retaining their faith in its scientific correctness.
