People who seriously believe the Firefox CEO should've been fired for those donations - SMH

But Snowstalker, these are pointless threads only a way for you to express hate for liberalism.

2nd is obviously worse than the 1st. 1st is obviously much easier to solve than the second and doesn't prevent solving the 2nd. Don't be a dumb.

Snowstalker, you do this a lot. sh**tting on LGBT struggles because you prefer to fantasize about a white, straight vanguard of revolutionaries breaking things in the name of Marx. It's pathetic.

Please shut up. 

You convince gays in the corporatist #ready4hillary camp through rational argument, not sarcastic trolling that literally mocks all gays, including those in the Option 1 camp. 

Wait a minute, wtf am I doing.  Thinking I can somehow educate Snowstalker.  Honestly, I try way too hard to refute trolls.

I am a strong supporter of equality for LGBT people--but the mainstream of the movement has become an alliance of wealthy white gay men and their upper-middle class straight white allies who have decided to make something as conservative and bourgeois as same-sex marriage their hill to die upon rather than workplace discrimination or, more critically, general homophobia among large segments of the population that leads to abuse and bullying. And when have I advocated a vanguard of just straight white guys?

BTW Peter, "corporatism" isn't really a separate thing--after all, the purpose of the state in the current system is to protect the interests of the ruling class. Just stop repressing your urge to say "capitalism" in its place. Smiley

The "#samelove" in a mocking tone would say otherwise.  And in the abstract, yes, I suppose the word capitalism also suffices.  But one's definitions of socialism and capitalism are also subjective, so I chose a word whose definition is less ambiguous.

The hilarious thing about it is that Snowstalker isn't even wrong. But you dislike the way he says it, and so tone troll him for it.

No, but he is dumb as bricks for thinking anybody who cares about Option 2 doesn't care about Option 1 (or vice-versa).

And one's definition of "corporatism" isn't? I've heard people use that term to describe countless different things. What exactly do you mean by it?

Option 2. Option 1 is actually good because it will be a catalyst for the proletariat revolucion.

Option 1 is the lifeblood of capitalism. Without those wage slaves #2 isn't possible because there'd be no corporation to speak of.

Option 1 is worse, but this is the internet and we only have so much attention span so of course we are going to focus on the one that is easier to understand, and less unpleasant and threatening.

It's only a response to the Atlas consensus liberals who got up in arms about the Mozilla CEO donating to Prop 8 (note: I support same-sex marriage and see Prop 8 as an awful reaction to it) but not about the far worse abuses committed by those same wealthy persons and organizations every day.

I was unaware that De Beers is actively buying children and using De Beer's employees to force them at gun point to dig for diamonds at a mine literally owned by De Beers.
