    First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White citizens’ “Councilor” or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direst action” who paternistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. …

      This guy has literally made the "might makes right" argument on several occasions. So no surprise here.

    Liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists

      Liberals hate us more than fascists because fascism is a kind of violence they can ignore - its tendencies permeate every aspect of their lives, culture, government, and social norms to the point where it's completely normalized (but god forbid you call it by name). Socialist violence on the other hand, is often deliberately aggressive and hard to ignore (it needs to be in order for it to make any real change). Not to mention the fact that this kind of rebellion against the system points out how discontent many Americans are with a system they like, and swear can be reformed - which obviously insults them.

      A quote from a source I've since forgotten goes something like "the worst oppression that can be hoisted upon these kinds of people is to be inconvenienced". See: anything relating to racial justice that can't be easily ignored, mild sacrifices for the greater good (increased taxation, wearing masks to help slow the spread of a modern plague), or being forced to re-examine their set beliefs in completely superficial ways

      My friend sent me a debate he did with Jesse lee peterson a while back and even debating that dolt I immediately walked away with the conclusion that he's a jack ass liberal. My friend thought I was being unreasonable at the time. What's the Stalin quote? History and absolution or w/e.

            I remember people would try to defend him back on the old sub, saying "well, he brings people over to the left". What a crock of shit. Fuck this guy and everything he stands for.

            Thanks I skipped too far and listened for 30 min to other points of discussion, ugh, I've met my yearly quota for listening to destiny's voice, attitude and shitty debating. Later: -(Brings up examples of price control making healthy foods like rice affordable and accessible in Vietnam) D -(Why would price control help a lack of good affordable food in the US though?)

    I said this before on the shitsite but it will never fail to baffle me: the degree to which shitlibs get frothed up over menial issues.

    We have our own gripes and concerns; we have legitimate reasons for wishing death upon chuds and bourgs - but there's always a logical, materialistic basis to it - it's just self-defence; self-preservation; damage limitation.
    Some might derive morbid satisfaction from it but in general the prospect is a distasteful if ultimately necessary aspect of revolution.
    We effectively see our ideological opponents as unfortunately misguided rubes - it would be preferable not to have to wage war and to simply convert people in the 'arena of ideas'; but we don't have the time nor the necessary material conditions to enjoy such a luxury.

    We shall weep tears on the battlefield for our fallen foes.
    "The fascists want to kill us to form their ethnostate. In a better world, their soldiers would be communists and we wouldn't need to fight. Maybe in another world we could teach them. But not today. A shame. Their children will be communists."

    Then you have liberals. They get unfathomably angry about the most mundane shit.
    "Riots are inconveniencing me because they're doing it at nighttime and the loud noises are doing me a spook. I want these people all to die, and I will derive sick pleasure from that."
    "These leftists dunked on me on twitter - I want them to be annihilated by ersatz Einsatzgruppen."
    "My toaster slightly overdid my toast. I am going to personally launch the nukes against Breville."

        Nah, he's not dumb. Probably more intelligent than the average person. But definitely lacking in empathy, steeped in imperialist propaganda, full of entitlement and hateful and cruel towards those he perceives as weak. Also, as you point out, his material interests are aligned entirely with the bourgeoisie. He's the modern, male Thatcher, just with less leverage
