Fully agree, Julia Louis Dreyfus is the only good one. Jason Alexander rubs me the wrong way, seems like a pretentious dick.
Rousseau I can get, but Hobbes?
Also big :thinking-about-it: over prismaTK using PCM language
Nope facts are facts fam, sorry I don't write the rules here, just enforce 'em :volcel-vanguard:
But without attorneys who will protect rich people's property or overcharge working class people for filling out intentionally cryptic paperwork?
Shit. I knew I shouldn’t have focused on helping kids with neuropsychiatric disorders through school. How do I switch to doing ”attorney things” in defense of Kamala Harris?
:internet-delenda-est:
Yeah this is rage inducing, I hate that shitty people get a platform from which to sneer at the suffering, toiling masses, and people just go along with it like that's life, that's human nature and life ain't meant to be fair.
Things could be so much different and better if people could just get their shit together.
This is spiritual poison. This woman must be performing some kind of ritual to transform into another Clinton daughter. Her takes make dogs howl across town.
It’s quite easy to care about your work even if the earth is on fire.
The earth turns into a ball of charcoal but she still did her vile lawyer shit so she could buy a yacht to own the... who?
How do you see a 60+ year old making minimum wage and not want to start burning things jfc
The PMC view you as a servant
>Try having an important job with real consequences for people, including yourself, if you fuck it up.
>Lawyer
>Worships people who have never had a real job in their lives
Mhmm.
"Try having a job where you get denied a promotion for getting trashed at the office team building trip to Cozumel, then you'll know what real hard work is!" Fuckin try having a job where you get screamed at all day because all of the local stores are out of a specific color of mulch and there's nothing you can do about it for $10/hr
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" Henry VI, Part 2
If I recall, the character in question runs around as part of a London Revolt killing the English Royal Family.
retail is more work than being a lawyer unless you're a public defender
You can't say society is fucked unless you read everything that has been written about society. Doesn't matter if Marx already read and analyzed a bunch of philosophers before coming to his conclusions. Nope. You gotta personally read all the hundred straight, white men we consider to be the "good" philosophers.
AntiSemites have certainly never used Hobbes or Plato to justify theocracy or genocide, nosiree Bob.
Me: communists are dumb and Marx was stupid
Communists: * farts uncontrollably *
Me: hehe nothing personnel kid * hops on Lambo, hits 100 mph in 15 seconds, dies when missing a left turn 500 meters away *
Including the children and grandchildren they might've had we can safely add another 10 to the death toll of communism
The only good Greek philosopher was Diogenes, who advocated for going to rich peoples houses and spitting in their eyes
Hobbes deadass said, if you are mugged, you are not being coerced, you just decided your life was more valuable than your wallet
You read those understand the thoughts and conditions of the past, they really aren't useful to describe what's going on in the real current world.
Ah, I see you have read Plato, but have you read.... The Bible?
Plato said everyone’s a dumbass except people like me, therefore I should run everything, and Hobbes said if you are mugged, you are not being coerced, you just decided your life was more valuable than your wallet
Plato should have taken after Socrates (who tbf might just be his character) and see that if he was the smartest man around then we are fucked cause he is objectively a dumbass
Solid chance this person hatelurks Hexbear based off Twitter feed, lul. Hi Jenn! Shouldn't you be epic lawyering right now? Let's get Cornish pasty sometime <3
It's just such a trite thing to suggest reading fucking Plato. It's like people who seemed to only have learned about George Orwell in their mid-30s and think he's awesome.
Dude did you ever hear of this band called The Rolling Stones? If you're really into music, check them out. We need more of that on the radio!
Reading Plato is like rubbing sticks together to light a cigarette.
https://imgur.com/a/daiCLdI the actual conversation, which wasn't even with her
lol her position got owned so hard she had to imagine it happening to herself
Lol they told me that when I was 15 and now I'm almost 30 and more red than ever.
Same, I cringe at being a lib 20 years ago, not the reverse :cyber-lenin:
Yeah go read Plato's Republic and its absolutely thorough repudiation of societal accumulation wherein the only way to have a just city is to have a fucking philosopher king who doesn't even want to be there and is therefore exempt from coveting the spoils of the office. Then go read Machiavelli, no not The Prince, read fucking Discourses on Livy where he does the same shit as Plato and explains the decay of society through different forms of the state because of the society's embodied contradictions. Fuck. Fuck you and fuck your fucking apartheid state.
When the brain worms form into a Gordian knot
Or it's a bit, in which case meh, too try hard
Wait why is Lenin dressed up like Alexander the great? Why is he pulling out a sword? OH GOD HE'S TAKING A SWING
I mean, she could have at least recommended philosophers who weren't dogshit.
It's probably the only philosophers she knows that aren't pop-philosophers. It's like how every literature recommendation list ends up looking like a high school reading list.
