By definition, a marginalized group cannot abuse a power dynamic because to be marginalized is to have no power.

Socialism is an economic model of governance, the same as capitalism. Communism is a form of government, the same as Democracy. These are 2 very, very different things. Socialism is applied by communist and democratic nations, alike. However, communism operates under a strict autocracy...

Your emotionally charged rhetoric is duely noted. I can't fathom how you think I'm selfish for wanting marginalized groups with less opportunities than myself to have institutionally-protected opportunities, as that's not money going to my pocket. You started off so cool-handed, too. How...

I'm not going to acknowledge the rest of that. It is rife with bias. As for this question, wealth equity across the board can only benefit a capitalist society, as it means more people have more spending power, which in turn drives better revenues for businesses because more people have more...

When has this ever happened? You're in Australia. Your family's wealth goes to the Windsor family, the same as mine.

Inversely, the only people who can afford to party that hard nowadays are the heirs to wealthy families. Capitalism has its own set of side effects that can lead to extreme inequity of overall work output. I don't believe in a fully-socialist nor capitalist model, as a combination of the two...

I'm starting a soundbyte!

I am not a communist. Fuck authoritarianism of any sort. I want Democracy, plain and simple. I can't speak on the generation that grew up during the pique of the Cold War, as I wasn't alive back then. But FUCK communism. Seriously.

I think the only Americans who support Russia are diehard Trumpists. I haven't read of other people throwing support Putin's way. I guess if you stan for a Putin stan you're fucking yourself twice. I'm glad more of the US Republican voters are speaking out about their frustrations with the...

Since when do leftists support Russia? I wanna write a bro country song called "Shootin' Putin"

Babies could be people too if you don't use them as ordinance

Stop the throwing of babies at US Presidents they'll never get a chance in life if you do that

Like fr it's getting out of hand, I know they're a pain in the ass and shit everywhere but give them a chance to be better humans

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/21/why-arab-states-wont-support-palestinians-qa-00142277 The above article provides a lot of insight into the historically-murky relations between Palestinians and neighbouring Arab countries. Even before October 7, there were already tensions...

I'll try to dig the articles up. There were rumblings in a few neighbouring countries about Palestinian refugees starting fights. I'm willing to grant empathy pertaining to the immense duress they're under, but I fear the bad optics may work against them in time.

I don't like that Palestinians are dying en masse, but they sure don't leave good impressions on others, including Saudi Arabians. Discord is literally strobing with online arguments between people of Palestine and literally everybody else, and usually not pertaining to the subject of this...

Well, that definitely explains the balls! Where even the rats can win boxing matches. BADASS.

WTF Dude. Jon Spencer is my absolute, hands-down favourite singer of all time. Pussy Galore blew my mind. Thanks for the rec! I absolutely love this. Haha I guess I read too much into when you said you did KY-style thumbpicking. Judging by the balls this song has, I'm now thinking...

You're Appalachian? What's your take on the Mountain Metal movement? I'm a huge fan. Outsiders wasn't a great show IMO but the soundtrack absolutely fucked. Ben Miller's fuzz tones are glorious. Certain songs even plugged acoustic electric banjos into fuzz. What a fucking fantastic sound!

You're the kind of right-winger I'd party with. Hell, my best friend is a Libertarian. We don't delve too deeply into politics, unless it's a subject we both agree on (humanity's neat!). It's always refreshing to observe people of differing views not only behaving rationally, but with...
