Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

I remember about when they were forcibly taken from their homes and forced to work in Africa, though…

@lonewolf  
This post is basically the unironic version of the Gamersriseup subreddit holy shit
 
@Ereiam  
My country is more concerned with the artic ice melting and basically destroying our trade network

@Commune  
TFW you’re trying to warn capitalists about global warming and ice caps melting, and all they’re noticing is: “Oh boy, new trade route in the Arctic Ocean!”

@Ereiam  

Well of course they’re excited. They’re going to need a new way to ship stuff if they plan to avoid all those people who will be Mad Maxing their way through the burned out wasteland.

@Background Human  
It’s not about victim-hood, it’s about fairness. Consistency.  
@neutralgrey  
Should we not hold everyone to the same standard?

@kylebiddle  
That ain’t what I’m arguing. I’m pointing out how too many conservatives play the victim card.

@neutralgrey  
It’s not about playing the victim. That’s not the argument; all they’re saying is look, if you’re going to say it’s not ok to make slurs against x group, it shouldn’t be OK to make slurs against y group either; otherwise you’re using a double-standard, and you’re not being consistent with the rules you’ve set.
 
There’s a difference between ‘playing the victim’ and calling for adherence to rules that YOU’VE SET YOURSELF. If the rules are obviously not being applies fairly, then you ARE the victim of discrimination, and saying ‘you’re just playing the victim’ doesn’t change that.
 
I don’t know about you but I’m sick of people crying racism and discrimination over every little thing. Maybe you just suck, ever thought of that? Maybe it’s got nothing to do with your skin color, race, or sex? No I guess not; because everything is about identity. That’s why I hate identity politics.

@kylebiddle  
I agree, I’m getting sick of conservatives also crying about dumb shit like white genocide or how racist the democrats are. I agree with you ultimately, but like I said I’m getting sick of conservatives playing the victim card and bitching about how oppressed they are even though we have a conservative President in office

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter; the reality is, these platforms don’t apply their rules fairly, they get to kick off whoever they want because fuck you, I said so, that’s why. They don’t need a reason. They’ll just make one up, they’ll straight up lie to you. They’ve made it so that they can choose any video or post that they want and say ’that’s hate speech, that’s fake news, you’re gone’ that’s not fair. That’s bullshit. That’s border-line Orwellian censorship.  
@neutralgrey  
Just because Trump is in office, that doesn’t mean he represents every conservative. Universities have very clearly been shown to have a liberal and/or marxist bias. It’s like saying that because Obama was elected now no black person can claim they’re being discriminated against, it’s nonsense.
 
There is a world outside of political power

@kylebiddle  
Lol, a Marxist bias? Whatever you’re smoking can I have some?
 
Also, it’s not just the presidency that they hold, it’s all three branches of government that they effectively control. Not to mention, didn’t Trump appoint a conservative Supreme Court judge?

@neutralgrey  
Seriously, it’s true. I’m not making this up. Watch this video Film Your Marxist Professors  

 
and this one Problem Professors  

 
and you’ll see what I mean.
 
I know it sounds like some crazy conspiracy shit, but this is actually happening. I wouldn’t be saying something like that if I wasn’t absolutely sure. They are teaching our kids an ideology, and they’re getting away with it. It’s seriously fucked up.
 
There are countless examples. Where do you think kids are getting it from?  

 
It’s true that the deck is currently stacked towards the GOP, my point is, that’s irrelevant to the point i’m making.

@kylebiddle  
>Sargon of Cuckadd  
I have contracted the gay from these videos
 
Tell me when these professors start telling people to read Bordiga then maybe I will consider your crackhead conspiracy theory, but for now, I will continue reading Bordiga

@kylebiddle  
Sargon of Akkad? Really? So I guess I should counter this with a source from Huff Post.
 
This idea that universities have a Marxist bias is utter nonsense. It’s propaganda to sell a narrative that isn’t true. If universities did have a Marxist bias then thousands of universities across the country would be teaching students why communism is great or have mandatory Karl Marx studies. That doesn’t happen though, universities teach math, science, history, shit like that. Whenever communism is mentioned is in history class or classes about government, and it’s never the focus of the class. They teach the kids what communism is, what the Soviet Union is, what they did, and they move on. That’s. It. No Karl Marx appreciation day. No forcing every student to read every piece of Marxist literature everyday. And no classes about communism. If this conspiracy was true, we’d see the Communist Party if America rise up with millions of people backing it up. But that’s not happening
 
 
And the reason why I bring up the GOP’s current dominance is because if conservatives really were oppressed they wouldn’t be allowed to vote for said candidates.

@neutralgrey  

 
That doesn’t mean what he’s saying isn’t true. There are countless examples on those two videos if you actually bothered to watch them.  

 
Countless examples.  

 
This doesn’t logically follow; it sets an arbitrary point at which you can claim that professors have a marxist bias.  

 
You can do all that and still preach a marxist ideology.  

 
It’s not a conspiracy. You do see it; under the guise of social justice and feminism. Oppressor/Oppressed, it’s the same ideology. It’s Marxism by any other name.  

 
This doesn’t logically follow either. Further, it’s not about oppression; least of all voter oppression.

Does universities force “communism” on its impressionable students? Or does hearing about an ideological concept of working people having power appeal to impressionable young adults who are watching an increasing amount of wealth be horded by a decreasing number of people?
 
Which one is the chicken and which one is the egg?

@Dustcan  

 
Yes.  

 
It’s not about that, it’s the oppressor/oppressed narrative, it’s marxism by any other name, it’s bullshit.

@Dustcan
 
I think college just has the effect of exposing young people to people and ideas they wouldn’t have given a lot of thought otherwise. Like, I went to a Christian private college and I still left it more liberal than I was when I went in.

@kylebiddle  
>oppressor/oppressed dynamic is Marxism
 
please… read a book, any book
 
Seriously though this is dumbest thing I have ever seen  
Ignoring that Marxism isnt just about the oppressor oppressed dynamic(plus that Capital equally forces all human subjects under its servitude), many philosophies have this dynamic and aren’t marxist

@kylebiddle
 
“That doesn’t mean what he’s saying isn’t true. There are countless examples on those two videos if you actually bothered to watch them.”
 

 
Sargon is a fucking talking head on YouTube who has a vested interest in selling a narrative. At best, everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.
 
And no, a bunch of random YouTube vids are not sufficient evidence to back up a claim this bold.
 
This idea that Marxism and communism is seeing a resurgence is bullshit. Your conspiracy theory is the kind of nonsense a right wing radio host would rant about for hours before bringing on a guest who claims he was abducted by aliens.
 
Now look, it’s fair to say that there are SJWs and femnazis who believe in communism, a lot of them are dumb kids so it’s more than likely they like the idea of communism. But to say that hundreds of thousands of university professors are in on a massive conspiracy theory to brainwash kids into supporting Marxism is, like I keep saying, nonsense.
 
And even if you claim that SJWs are all Marxists, they’re just dumb kids on Facebook with little to no political power. Look at the candidates they support to, Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. The idea that these two politicians are Marxists is absurd. Saying that Bernie Sanders is Communist is like saying that Switzerland is Germany. And saying that Hillary Clinton is a Marxist is the naïve thing you can say, the idea of a magic bullet killing JFK is more believable than the idea that Hillary is a Marxist.
 
There is no Marxist uprising in the United States, a country that has no free healthcare for everyone, where the workers don’t own the means of production, and a country where one man doesn’t hold absolute power. It’s like what Dustcan said, have you every just considered the fact that young kids just like the idea of communism without anyone glorifying it because they’re naïve and stupid?
 
 
And like I keep telling you, I’m getting sick of Conservatives playing the victim card and bitching and moaning about how oppressed they are while they cheer on Donald Trump as he rips up Obama’s legacy. There are no laws against conservatives, they can be anyone they want and go wherever they want.

Gee, I don’t know, maybe I’m in the minority here, but I just don’t think that teaching an ideology that has historically led to the deaths of million is a good idea.
 
this is the crux of my argument
 
Time-stamped for your convenience.
 

@kylebiddle  
The alternative would be censoring important information about history, and you’d have to forgive me if I’m not on board with censoring history.

@neutralgrey  
There’s a huge difference between censoring history and teaching why history was wrong. You wouldn’t teach left-wing authoritarianism as a good idea for the same reason you wouldn’t teach Fascism as a good idea.
 
They clearly weren’t taught why it was wrong otherwise they wouldn’t be espousing these beliefs.

So in light of Nunes admitting he obstructed justice to protect trump, i think we can all agree the ethic committee should reopen it’s investigation into trump with the republican members only allowed to observe,

@kylebiddle  
Never mind that you’re personally pushing an oppressor/oppressed narrative. Facebook/Alex Jones, Twitter/Calgon of Mossad*, Kevin Sorbo from God’s Not Dead/the kid from God’s Not Dead, what have you.
 
_{*Ancient Jewish secret, huh?}

@Background Human
