It is sad, but the DNC should never have run him for 2024.

There is probably also depression in there. It is pretty easy to get depressed when you have ADHD.

I’ve had a couple lemmy arguments where I missed a subtle point that the other person was making and mistook it for something else.

You just got to bite that bullet, I usually say: I’m sorry. I misread what you were saying. It’s my bad.

And then I continue on with any other disagreements I may have, but if there’s none then I usually end it with. Have a nice life.

The moment it is more about winning than it is about truth, the less interesting the conversation is to me.

It’s because they haven’t thought about it.

They’re so used to the paradigm. I pay money. I get product. I get support.

So when they get the product but they don’t pay money, their brain short circuits and thinks they deserve some kind of support.

In a capitalistic world, communistic projects are confusing. Which is sad.

Well, the numbers are in and it looks like capitalism will be killing us all.

In the old days the viruses would just put a skull up on your screen or some other nonsense.

Now the virus hides and they track everything you do and steal all your passwords and banking information.

It’s better for them to not go loud. Otherwise they’ll be discovered. And the point is to stay hidden as long as possible to collect as much data as possible.

Most people don’t know their computers are infected.

This is allowed.

I could be both, but I am not.

Hey, I am not evil! I am Sexy!

I just think it’s racists being stupid.

Yes. I wonder what the outcomes of centering the soldiers gult is?

Do we want the solution to be that soldiers have to consider every order given within the historical context of the time to decide the morally correct actions and do them even if it means court martial or death?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m okay for soldiers to do this in extreme examples. But I don’t think this should be the norm.

I think we should shift the focus to the leaders instead of the soldiers. They are better positioned to make these decisions and have the time to do so.

And it’s their job.

I watch Vaush a lot and I haven’t seen what you are talking about.

Yeah, I am not surprised that you have disagreements behind Lenin and AES. The two are pretty related and hard to pull apart. I was just surprised that you would disagree with any of his Marxist takes. I think you both agree what the problems are from a Marxist perspective.

As for the sex offenders/sex pest stuff. I don’t think he is those things, but I understand I am just one person. From the stuff I have seen it is mostly people that disagree with him that label him as such as a way to get around the fact they don’t really have a leg to stand on; Fascists and the like. Not saying that is you of course.

Thanks for taking the time to talk this though by the way. I figure you get hit with a lot of stuff.

No idea, I have only watch him one or two times. Seemed good to me.

I do get that vibe from Vaush occasionally. Unfortunately the attention economy is a real thing and I would be impressed with anyone with the same reach as Vaush wouldn’t be doing similar things. I am not sure I would be as far left as I am without his content.

He has no grasp of Dialectical and Historical Materialism

Can you list a specific example? I think he has a good understanding of this.

I am pretty familiar with Vaush’s arguments on Marxist theory. What are your points of contention?

As far as I know, all the criticisms of Vaush watching child porn has been misinformation.

For those that don’t like to read, you don’t have to read theory. In fact, most theory is old. There are newer and better takes on these ideas. Find a good YouTube channel that goes over the ideas. I like Vaush.

If you like to read theory, go for it. But I think there are faster and easier ways to get the concepts.

We are entering a “yeah and who’s going to stop me era of US politics”
