  • You need to understand the difference between shitting on people and calling out hypocrisy

    Let’s follow this train of thought that ended with people believing that rare instances of successful compromised socialism through voting is more socialist than marxism

    When a Israel parade takes place in NY people will call it out and demand support for genocidal ethno state cease completely, of course the mayor wants to do that but the power you gain from being voted in is limited, limited by the people allowing you to stay in office, take a look at khan in ICC, this isn’t very good because it makes democracy look like a failed system, it isn’t we just like to consider the powerful as morally just people that will adhere to it, thinking otherwise is too scary to consider, listen i don’t get paid enough to hate governments

    So naturally democrats wanting to get any sort of legitimacy for voting even though a pedophile was voted into office(the goal is to maintain stability at the sacrifice of change) will label this criticism or pointing out limits of power of the voted in representatives as an attack on change, the idea here is that any concession allowed by the ruling class must not be judged or criticized, turning the struggle against them into a struggle for them, they did permit us to have Mamdani so we should not question it further and just focus on throwing away the original principles that the movement stood for and instead have Mamdani become the movement to highlight how successful it is, he was the 1 in 100 good apple the system leaked through so there’s no way he’s suppressed or contained, did i say concession earlier, i meant victory

    Now that we’ve adapted to this new successful view(the 1 in 100 Mamdanism) that keeps giving legitimacy to democracy we can shit on anyone, especially people who used to criticize us, like tankies! But wait we were both against the epstein class, wars in middle east how come we’re against them now? Well they must have veered away from their principles of socialism, see socialism is all about democracy(alarm bells) trust me and tankies criticize our democratic representatives, we also agree with them on criticism for 99/100 of the representatives but listen, tankies are enemies, not just any enemies, a bigger enemy than misrepresentation even! If they judge any representative we don’t judge then they’re against the 1in100Mamdanism movement which is socialism(through elections but don’t bring that up now, we made progress here), if they do agree well that’s good but it doesn’t show greatness of elections and stability so why focus on it

    It’s better to point at tankies as the evildoers who tried to get in our way whenever the 1in100Mamdanism succeeds again, than to point to the Democrats and republicans that did a smear campaign against him, because we are a fair and functioning democracy, and pointing the latter puts a question mark on something that should never be questioned


  • They are? I feel like you’re butthurt about tankies advocating for marxism that any success the ideology has needs to be stripped away from it and announced as against it?

    I’ve never seen a single tankie hating on mumdani if anything they just keep hating on everyone who’s hating on mumdani, because mumdani actually pushes socialist policies

    I’m getting very confused what i’m supposed to be arguing against here, is your point that tankies aren’t socialist?

    …?

    Not really, i’ve know many people like this who were bottom of their class and had edge over me in chess, fun games like it or random specific trivia, they don’t do it to feel intellectually superior they do it because it’s more enjoyable to them than studying

    They’re not dumb they’re just not trying altogether, and when i talk with them about the topics they enjoy they actually show great understanding on them, it’s all just people with interests

    If they were trying, say in a debate and they’re deliberately refusing to follow simple proofs they themselves use, yeah then they’re dumb, but i’ve never come across someone like that that still managed to be good at something, it’s a core part of learning as a process

    Sure there are people with useful interests and ones with useless ones, but i refuse to call the useful ones smart and useless ones dumb, it’s demeaning to those people’s capabilities, i don’t hold anyone to this way of thinking it’s just mine


  • True, and it actually makes up the majority of the skill as well, i just don’t like to look at people as gifted or lucky because it’s unfair, it’s kind of sad hahaha

    I get easily conquered by defeatism if it’s done through pure logic and there’s no doubt about luck being a huge factor in skill! And in life in general, So i just kind of look away and continue grinding what i enjoy, because it’s the only thing you can do to enjoy competitive activities






  • People in the past or future don’t have to worry about what’s lost or gained, only living people in the present get to worry about it because they have a choice on what will be lost and what won’t, so it’s our(for now) turn in the timeline to wear the “shroud” of loss and decide what value to give everything around us, is that species worth losing, what about life of someone far away, truth is worth losing? Steak? Connections? No one blames present people for wanting to enjoy themselves they shouldn’t have this responsibility, but they do, everyone is counting on you, here’s your shroud, good luck!
