The Simple Truths Silver Mine

Jesus Christ, this forum is full of elitists.

The social stratification that visits forums like this is beleaguered with wealthy dogooder liberals that desire fellation of their money, status and the confirmation of their lifestyle as 'correct' just as conservatives do, only they have the nerve to request more suction in return for declaring themselves benevolent masters to us idiotic savages. The Scott Walker thread on the 2016 board is rife with this sort of blindly marginalizing sentiment.. not that I'm interested in rushing to the doughy governor's defense, mind.

True Leftist Fallacy

1) An FF is someone who largely or entirely shares my political views
2) I, a socialist teenager, entirely share my own political views, therefore I am an FF
2) To be an FF the President should therefore be as politically close to me as possible
3) The President does not share the political views of a socialist teenager
4) The President is thus not an FF

Because everyone who thinks that the President is a wimp with no spine/actual beliefs beyond a wanton desire to hold political power is automatically an unrealistic, socialist teenager.

i don't think so, but it was certainly a more mature decision than the embarrassingly passive-aggressive (not to mention hypocritical) rainbow flag waving we're seeing in 2014

There are many today leftists that love to moan about Humphrey and Lyndon Johnson; it seems to me that those guys have completely forgotten the well successful domestic policy record of LBJ. Furthermore, LBJ and Humphrey were not really fans of the War of Vietnam and still people see them as the authoritarian guys who want to wage people to war and love bombing vietnam kids. This is just stupid and very unfair to this great President and his very honorable Vice-President that had a beautiful record as Senator and as a fighter of Civil Rights.

Even so, I have a strong feeling that George McGovern is my vote over here. This is for an ideological reason but that doesn't mean that I doubt of Humphrey's Record and his commitment to the progressive cause and his interest on ending the Vietnam War as soon as possible.

Honestly, I picked McGovern because he was a genuinely nice guy, while Humphrey was an asshole during '72 (Read Fear and Loathing to understand)

I will read when I have time, but even so, Humphrey did have a great record. =.

Yeah being a pathetic sycophant for Lyndon Johnson's maniacal warmongering is a great record.

I'll leave it to the master of describing Hubert Humphrey, as always, who says it better than anyone else -

Atlas's Hubert Humphrey adoration is disgusting. He was a shameless hack and sociopath who tried to literally ban the communist party, proudly supported bombing thousands of people to death for political reasons, and stole the Democratic nomination as fascist police gassed protesters in the streets. It's basically the retro #ReadyForHubert.

Yes because apparently the man who pushed for a civil rights plank in the Democratic platform is a "hack" and a "sociopath". Your sudden adoption of True Leftist rhetoric is quite amusing tho' considering your essentially socially liberal centrist ideology,

The man who got the Civil Rights Act passed, Lyndon Johnson, was a merciless criminal who was basically Kevin Spacey in House of Cards, so I'm not sure why someone supporting a decent position makes them a good person. It's possible to support Civil Rights and yet not approve of bombing thousands of people to death for political gain.

It's telling that you consider this "True Leftist" rhetoric.

Yeah, the nice thing about political correctness is that you instantly know anyone who un-ironically complains about it is an obvious idiot.

This is another case where Americans are hurt by not knowing themselves. Because people hold onto the mythology of Infinite Opportunity, they don't see themselves as Poors, Working Classers, or even Richers. Everybody is Middle Class, floating around like an Oklahoman in the Update, convinced that one of these days things are going to work out if we just believe. Americans need a serious dose of realism. We're all busting our butts for peanuts, and things are not going to change until we make low prestige jobs worthwhile. It is not possible for everybody to be a doctor, a CEO, or a lottery winner.

So you're acknowledging the need for class consciousness?

One doesn't need to be a socialist to value class consciousness as a positive thing.

I thought you didn't believe in social class?

I'm not into violent revolutions. I want to see the poor have a better life and I want to see some fairness, but I don't want to go around killing the rich just because they're rich. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a murderer.

I'd like a dog that doesn't poop. Sometimes, you must choose between two imperfect options.

This is maybe the worst atlas thread ever. A majority of Atlasians are evil rape condoners and should be instabanned.

"He said, she said" is quite different from "he said, she said and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she and so did she" etc. HP.

If a Democrat spoke at a far-left Commie group...

Can we not pretend that's the same thing?

actual neo nazis are less tedious to talk to than the average breitbart poster
