Hillary Clinton needs to shut the fuck up. 2016 is now in the distant past but the Clintons are grossly offensive democrat baggage that make the Democrat party seem out of touch and corrupt.

Hillary Clinton is a loser. She has no good opinions. The fact that her opinions are taken seriously is part of the geriatric stupidity of the Democrat party.

Again: Hillary Clinton failed. She doesn’t know what works because what she did didn’t work. Her opinions are boomer garbage and listening to boomers is how we got here.

Respect for Elders is not a suicide pact. Geriatrics like Hillary think they are part of the solution, but they’re the problem.

They will tell you that they understand politics. That they understand what the American People need.

This is nonsense.

You can’t send a geriatric to fix a problem caused by geriatric politicians.

The solution is simple, they just don’t like it. They just don’t want to hear it.

Everyone over a certain age — and we might reasonably disagree as to what that age is — must be removed from politics.

That was my second reply lmao

You’re discovering the complexities of comparing geopolitical strata across time and space. Don’t disrespect it. Just because you have feelings about an essential “egyptian” storyline doesn’t mean those feelings are valid. Shut up. Thanks.

Wow, an American backing up the Aussie’s settler colonial understanding of national identity.

I don’t think you know enough about these topics to be opining so haughtily, arrogantly, and condescendingly. If I were a moderator here you’d be permabanned just to keep the comment section intelligible.

In America we’re Roman because our nazis still do a particular salute

I know it’s sometimes hard for Aussies to imagine history beyond 300 years back as being relevant to your national identity.

also shut the fuck up you smug fuckhead

So yes, Italians do feel like the inheritors to the ancient Romans, just ask an Italian.

That doesn’t mean they are. Continuity of geopolitical narrative is mostly stupid. In the era of nationalism (post-Napoleonic France) geopolitical narrative is 100% jingoistic propaganda: those impulses are 100% recuperated by the State.

By this logic, there are no inheritors to ancient Egypt at all since even the current inhabitants speak Arabic and not ancient Egyptian.

That’s actually very coherent, or more coherent than the idiotic notion that because people live in the same place, they are connected genetically, culturally, linguistically, or politically.

You sound like someone with the word ‘master’ in their online internet name.

it does not follow from the marginalization of the other that every time you experience the marginalization of the other, it is directly connected to genocide. humans are more than ideal atoms, and some of them need to be communicated with in the language of harsh blunt truth.

Men who are unfuckable because of their politics need to man up. If you are spending several hundred words to say: “please integrate a more healthy relationship with masculinity” which is literally just telling them to man up with extra steps that they are uninterested in, you should consider that they are man enough to need to hear: “man up.”

I’m not saying that punishing politically toxic men is trivial, I’m saying it’s worth doing. You can’t make a man change by pandering to him, you have to actually communicate with them directly, or they’ll tune you out.

You are making the mistake of anthropomorphising communities. There are no singular trains of thought here. There are just people of many sorts posting messages for others to read. Full stop.

Yeah ok but you are not immune from having a local culture sorry

leftists of ALL sorts (which is its own entire topic of how freaking diverse that is),

so is it like the subset of leftists that isn’t outright commie?

You seem to be using politics as a cudgel against men instead of attempting to understand the social forces that are creating this problem in the first place.

yes, because using the cudgel is preferable to endlessly theorizing

You can pretend to not understand all you want, but your ignorance won’t be tolerated for long here.

I don’t have any problem recognizing that, my solution is to tell them they made bad decisions and need to man up.

The solution to a complex system isn’t to fret about how complex it is, it’s to cut the feedback loop.

Weak men who developed toxic politics are caught in a feedback loop. Cut them out of it. Not complicated, just abrasive.

But you can continue constructing your nuanced and sympathetic understanding. These men just need to be understood, that will help them.

“redefining what it means to be strong” is stupid

maybe reconnecting with strength and disparaging weak conceptions of strength

I think you’re funny, spewing your impotent frustration. At least I actually want men to man up.
