Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

but I have to admit the Far Left has continually struck me for a lot more and with a lot less basis.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

I didn't realize my "Don't believe in Earth" comment hit you that hard.

If you're going to twist words, at least do so correctly and call me an "alternative facts" pusher.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Alternative facts is soooo three months ago.

My take away from "Flat Earth" is that there isn't one.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

You heard here first, folks; the center right doesn't believe in earth.

@Dinh AaronMkDidnt take much to get you riled up :D

@Vilageidiotx why are you in the closet about your hammer and sickle, doggo

@Dynamo Frokane

Because

A: I don't commit to shit because I don't want my political views to become part of my identity. When that happens, people stop thinking.

B: I have major hangups with Marxism. Shit, the main reason you see me defending it is that I think most negative reactions to it are dumb and knee-jerk.

I think that centrist neo-liberalism amounts to putting fingers in ear about current problems, and right-wing nationalism can only lead to another world war, and I think of right-wing libertarianism about as seriously as you do, so that pretty much just leaves the far left as the only place where an answer to how we advance from this stage of society to the next might come from. That would require the far-left to stop fucking around of course...

So I'm more of an Anarcho-Pessimist really. I think the answer is on the left, but I think we will fail to find the answer and everything will get fucked up.

Im trapped in a thread full of wackos, am I the only one here who is a proponent of moderate authoritarianism and generally centrist views?

It seems like everyone here who isnt an Alt Right sympathising Freezepeach warrior is a Oppression Gold Medalist or a boot stomping commie. Lord help us all.

The curse of living in interesting times. Right now being a centrist is kinda like being with the crew of the Titanic when they find out about the iceberg, and as the argue about which direction to turn the wheel, you say "We should just keep going straight and plow through the thing because we were already going straight before." If it makes you feel any better, there is probably going to be a centrist resurgence soon enough. Populism is getting bad press now, what with Trump and the Alt Right and Antifa.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity exactly how far do you teeter into 'flat earth theory'

@Dynamo Frokane

Bent earth theory.

This is the core of why communist countries fail and I have yet to see it addressed in a serious and detailed way by those who advocate for communist systems of government.

@Kratesis

It was more or less impossible in the past, and would be ridiculously difficult now, but I do think we are currently developing the model necessary for central planning in the future. If virtually all transactions are cataloged digitally, a central planning computer could organize the economy in a way that no Soviet style central planning board ever could. The main positive would be obvious of course; it would eliminate quite a bit of waste, both from the inefficiencies of the market system, and through the wealth currently wasted by pooling at the top. The main negative (that I can think of at least) would be the loss of Capitalism's ability to create wants that the consumer would never have thought of on their own (I don't think computerized central planning would have invented Gushers, for instance)

Shit, maybe the path to post-scarcity communism started with Amazon's recommendation system.

whats with all the nazi haircuts nowadays?

why can't we go back to man buns?
