 Improve society somewhat through a series of clear means.

 Completely remake every component of society from the ground up in a way that can't even be described by the person demanding it through a simple one-time action that is also vague and always absent of any context. (Also that nobody else wants.)

Don't mention that she merely identifies as nonbinary so none of the legistlations mean jackshit to her and she mostly identifies as a woman anyway

[Jansen]

Can someone please tell that bitch to shut up since she lives such a life of privilege with mommy and daddy. Pussy probably got called a furfag once and that's about it.

Seriously, what is even the point of engaging Nepenthe and people like her at all. It's like a townhall meeting about whether they should build a green energy plant or a coal plant and in the back sits Nepenthe yelling about how they should demolish the entire city.

[Potato]

They would've swiped right on Muhammad anyway might as well save them a Super Like

How does the left feel about 72 virgins being forced into sex slavery a reward for a suicide bomber in the afterlife?

No they wouldn't.

No profile pic.

How the fuck does this not have more likes?

You people disgust me!

Making everything perfect forever isn't hard or much to ask. It's basic human decency, not something to compromise on. 

[books]

I really want to know what is the bire moderation approved list of politicians. 

Anthony Weiner. The only politician to show hog

As a fan of playboy politicians like JFK who cant help but act like cis men with their horny ways, don't forget John Edwards. Though Bill Clinton is my top dog. BJs in the white house is bucket list. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets a thumbs up from me as well for throwing his maid a bone and 18 years of child support.

However, I'm not a fan of ugly politicians who have sex outside of marriage. Call me a puritan but boning Newt Gingrich or Rudy Guiliani? Gives me the "ick."

[books]

They're ALL fucking retarded in that AOC thread. They're all trying to one up each other on who can be more righteous and they get more ridiculous with each response, all the while suckers jump in thinking they can talk to the posters logically and with nuance and that ain't happening with Nep and her sycophants fanning the flames of a take a carrot revolution.

King Solomon's Mines
Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Solomon%27s_Mines#Films

The first cinema adaptation (a silent film version) was directed by Horace Lisle Lucoque in 1919 (now lost),[22] followed by the first sound version in 1937, King Solomon's Mines, which was directed by Robert Stevenson. The best known version premiered in 1950, King Solomon's Mines, directed by Compton Bennett and Andrew Marton, which was followed by a sequel, Watusi (1959). In 1979, a low-budget version was directed by Alvin Rakoff, King Solomon's Treasure, combining both King Solomon's Mines as well as Allan Quatermain in one story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_(character)#Origins_and_inspirations\

Indiana Jones is modeled after the strong-jawed heroes of the matinée serials and pulp magazines that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg enjoyed in their childhoods (such as the Republic Pictures serials, and the Doc Savage series). Sir H. Rider Haggard's safari guide and big game hunter Allan Quatermain, who appeared in King Solomon's Mines (1885) and its seventeen sequels and prequels, is a notable template for Jones.[51]

I came to this realization after seeing Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. That movie felt like a fresh of breath air introducing a villain who was just a villain and not some refried tragic character trope.

“Evil” 

You can stick with Hanna Barbera cartoons if you like your villains that way.  

Media made people think that corrupt politicians and the rich CEOs that wanted to pollute the swimming ponds were unrealistic. Now we have them running the US.

Neither those CEOs or those politicians reasoning as Captain Planet villains (unless they are petty assholes or mentally unwell drug addicts).

Almost feels like you are glad that Trump is justifying your black and white view of the world… the same one that lost your election.

Echo needs her discord buddies to bump the thread.

Why he is allowed to make shit threads in repetition. Not even the “is because I’m Trans and I’m sad right now” makes sense because lesbians are not transexuals by default.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

So holding a person in political power accountable for their actions is wrong on Era now?

[Boredfrom]

Then we should stop treating it as a normal time in American politics, and "normal" in American politics is "liberals constantly shouting down and trying to silence leftists for daring to take any action that's outside their personal comfort zone and saying the left's going to cost them the next election."

BUT YOU GUYS PARTIALLY COST THEM THE ELECTION!

Have you seen the actual popularity of some of the stuff you fight for?

[StandingOvation]

Do you think B-Dubs regrets purging PoliEra? He agrees with them on most things and compared to the rest of Era they were sane.

Is that the dumbest thing he's done?

Edit: more Word Salad for Benji to eat:

I don't think we can achieve succinctness in strategy without actually figuring out our demands first. Part of the issue you correctly point to is the nebulousness and relational context of political terms like "left," which is why I'm always saying I'm confused by people including people like me in the in-fighting because "in-fighting" implies that I am in the same political headspace as most of the people on Era. I'm not. And frankly I don't know why that delineation engenders resentment; my side is small. You'd do better to be honest and ignore my side than try to lie to me to say "we're all in this together."

We're not all in this together.

Many people on the "left" want the continuance of capitalism but just want select minorities- namely queer folks and standard ethnic minorities lucky enough to be born in the West- to be beneficiaries of its upward flow of wealth and relative stability, but they never say that and instead just continue to engage in shallow idpol and contrarianism to Republicans as the baseline of their politics because aesthetics and culture war drivel are how we've been indoctrinated to engage in politics.

We've never actually had a true reckoning to define what system we want, what our relationship should be to a system, what are the basic principles that should be upheld, none of that. We've resigned ourselves to different flavors of capitalism and insist having a different flavor means it's not fundamentally the same dessert. Liberals just keep grabbing me by the shoulder and pulling me in for a group photo without my consent, and when I say "Yo, I'm not part of this family reunion," they get mad at me and keep saying I'm the one ruining the picture! Like I didn't ask to be included in the first place, but you keep talking about the left!

We should define terms! We should discuss and debate about meaning and context! We should increase our vocabulary! We should educate ourselves about the conditions of the world, past and present! We should literally seek to gain as much knowledge as possible instead of resting our laurels on vague assumptions and ill-defined beliefs and movements, because when you can define the problem then you can define the solution. It's why for example I always tell people to define "human nature" when they're resigning themselves to capitalist realism, to get them to actually think critically about why they are reflexively assuming that all humans actually think like capitalists and are thus assuming this system is all biologically-driven.

So before we even decide what the plan is, we need to decide not only what the problems are by how we individually align ourselves in the pursuit of solutions to those problems. You can't plan for a problem you don't know about. This vagueness and lack of clarity on what "leftism" is is part of the problem and is why liberals are always playing defense against Republican framing. They don't actually know what they believe, or they do but are scared to say it because their beliefs are shit and they don't want to engage in the work of deconstructing shitty beliefs to attain better ones.

I can tell you for a fact he still thinks he's in the right.

This thread is a perfect example of why Republicans win and will continue to win elections. Democrats can't agree on fucking anything. We are so fucked.

Democrats, as a capitalist party, largely agree that far leftists are small in number and thus there's no need to actually build coalitions with us.

That's the thing. We're arguing about the impact of a population of people who, if they had actually all voted for Kamala, she still would've lost!
