Mark Blyth, the economist who's making sense

tl;dr (sorry!)

Did you see this yet? What's he thinking???

You want me to read some DNC donor bullshit? Only if you read some antifa stuff, only fair. Then again, you might want to be careful, I'm not very nice to Trump supporters like you.

It's easy to criticize differing opinions, not so easy to defend your own when even you yourself aren't convinced of them

Yeah, I've been saying that to him for weeks now. It hasn't sunk in at all.

 

[ttystikk]

He follows people on FB and REPORTS them to their employer because he disagrees with their politics..who the hell does shit like that?

Psycho people.

I'm no fan of racism. The way to stop it is to show better alternatives; meeting hate with hate is worse than ineffective.

I wonder how long it will take buckaroo banzai to figure that out?

 

[ttystikk]

What a circle jerk. Well I actually tried to reconcile, back to brutality.

Funny how a bunch of corpses walk around calling themselves progressive but have no spine to stand up to fascists. Then you swear I can't make my mind up.

You said so yourself. You stand for nothing, just stand on the sidelines and sling poo.

Meeting fascists with violence is not an effective solution. It's playing to their strengths. Same with racists and xenophobes.

You have also been high-fiving racists and liking offensive comments, such as Schuylaar's thread starter when she went off on black voters. But hey, those racists and privileged white people are your peers so I guess that time you said you were opposed to fascism was just some bernie-esque shit-pandering.

Your accusations are wildly off target and you refuse to consider or even learn about other people's positions.

I have no respect for that mentality from either you or buckaroo banzai.

No I didn't. Learn to read, mouthbreather.

I see you're happy to take comments out of context. That's cheap and panders to your own sense of vacuous self serving superiority... But means nothing.

buckaroo banzai.

At least he has enough of a spine to oppose bigotry. If you show up to any activist gatherings you might want to watch your step.

 

[ttystikk]

No I didn't. Learn to read, mouthbreather.

Another insult and you say you don't like them. Yes, you did.

I show up to plenty.

Is that a threat?

 

[abandonconflict]

Oh no, I'm insulting you now. The only difference is when I do it, it is after I have explicated your argument, so it's just an insult. When you do it, it's just ad hominem, a fallacy.

That's exactly what we're doing by opposing the Democratic establishment whom you would rather align yourself with

I'm not aligned with anyone, I am pretty sure I said that in an earlier post you've been ridiculing, ya dingus. Also, no, you have not been opposing fascists, you and your buddies have been trying to convince us all that Trump's election was somehow a good thing.

For a guy who thinks he is smart, you sure are dumb.

But you won't actually take the time to learn about anyone else's positions, you just babble about Bernie babies- because you know nothing of what we stand for. That makes you part of the problem.

This very thread started as an archive of links to material I find interesting and agrees with or extends my positions. Yet I'll bet you're too busy flinging poo to have read any of it.

No respect for you!

He styles himself a revolutionary but falls right in line with the establishment every chance he gets.

I mean, Ruin Paul? Seriously?

 

[abandonconflict]

Yes I have. You have utterly failed to explicate a single one of my criticisms of Saint Bernard. You just get butt hurt, insult and demand that I write you a manifesto of my views.

You're an idiot.

No alignments, no positions- but you sure hate it when you're called out about it!

Then why waste your time? Have a nice day!

You are very clearly aligned with Buck and Fogdog, both adamant Clinton supporters

I have been opposing fascists. You've purposely misconstrued what St0wandgr0w said to again, suit your own narrative. He said, and I've seen him emphasize, bold, quote, etc. each time, just to make it clear, that in a political sense, a Trump administration is good for the Democratic party. This is an example of how your side chooses to engage our side dishonestly and disingenuously. We know you know what we're actually saying, we know you choose to ignore the content of what's being said because you can't honestly argue against it. So instead, you choose to argue against the strawman you create, just like conservatives do.
