MODERATORS
I'll clarify for you. I believe these are all different heads of one Hydra, and they'll either all be attacked at once, or they will attack first and there will be nobody to stop them.
I don’t think it runs that deep. I think we’re just way more aware of these dickheads with the 24 hour news cycle and endless communication on the internet.
Tate is just your common or garden sado-misogynist (reminds me a lot of this psychopath).
Trump is a wannabe Putin and Musk is a wannabe Trump.
The Fox News fascists are just amoral, well-paid lackeys.
All risen or rising to prominence as part of the same global fascist spasm, of course. But Tate is street-fry. He poisons minds but he's got no real power. And he'll most likely disappear into obscurity very soon, like so many before him.
He's a symptom of the capitalist disease. Essentially, he's what happens when a person is hollowed out and nothing remains except capitalist ideology. My point is that they're all garden variety scum, but they're uplifted into power by a cultural corruption that's as old as consciousness. The religions of old warned about this kind of mental programming when the dominant form of ignorance on the planet was building pyramids and colluseums.
You're part of the problem with this over dramatic tripe
Or are you part of the problem with your judgemental in-fighting?
What infighting?
I'm on your team, but you're not on mine. You're just a shit talking dick head trying to squeeze his two cents in where it's not wanted.
Seek help
I don't need help. It's the people reacting to me with anger who seem to be suffering.
I only see you calling people names, shit talking dick head springs to mind.
I calls em as I see em. Only on the internet do people expect to be rewarded for smearing shit on the walls.
Only on the internet do I see idiots ramble this incoherently and claim it's everyone else acting stupid
It's insane to have him reply to me as though I am him
Yes, such authoritarian charlatans are symptoms of capitalism. This does not mean they are in any way connected.
You can read my other comments in this thread if you want. I've already addressed this.
No, you haven't. You've just vaguely gestured and pontificated aimlessly.
Cool.
No. It wasn't.
