Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I'm now absolutely certain that he's a very badly deluded individual. I've met plenty of the sort.

HEY RPspag, your buddies "taking over the GOP" aren't into your ideas as presented here. You're just a particularly motivated fool perfect for spreading memes and discarding. You literally put the RP in LARP playing the patsy for them by dedicating your life to a ridiculous "alt-right" persona. No fooling.

I find this interesting. What are you basing your knowledge of these peoples ideas on? And why is your conception more accurate than my first hand experience?

Because I come from much deeper within that continent than you. There really are pretty terrible things out in the far reaches of the "right". The "left" too, but that's not where I'm from. I'm telling you, sincerely warning you, as a courtesy only. Enjoy your "first hand experience." I'm quite sure it's just getting started, provided of course that you have been sincere and truthful here. For all I know you're in up to your neck, but I very much doubt it.

Could you be more specific? More importantly could you explain why I should give up EcoFascism because of these vague terrible things?

My biggest issue with him is that he seems to see his movement as some kind of fix-all. He's talking in a very tribalistic way, and arguing for the movement and talking about the strength of it's members and all that instead of arguing for it's points.

But I just argued the points of EcoFascism right there.

At risk of being accused of moving the goalposts, I guess I meant "You stated your points as though they were the holy words of Goddess Herself being handed down to you only after being asked."

I mean you sound like a self-righteous shithead, basically, and you only stated your points when someone else asked about them before quickly veering away from them to talk about how much better your group of fuckwads is than the "other" outside your group.
A wise man once said "What was that? I couldn't hear you."

So basically you don't care about the environment? Ecofascism is the logical and necessary next step.

I'm not misanthropic enough yet to think we should abandon democracy entirely.
I mean, we have about the same chance of convincing the federal government to create stronger EPA standards and hold corporations accountable as we do of... doing the same thing but also stripping away our constitution and social freedoms?

The only difference between then and now is that doctors got so e better diagnostic tools and at some point the news media decided to make it their Scary Disease of the Week(TM). My god, that must have been a slow week. They used to do actually frightenig syndromes like SARS and AIDS. Swine Flu was so sucuccesful they did it twice. And yet somehow autism is the one people have latched on to.

Clinton openly advocating completely open borders and free trade:

I like the open borders part

Quote from: xXRon_Paul_42016Xxx(weed) on October 26, 2016, 10:20:44 PM
Clinton knows that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding ISIS:

Is really there anyone in this country so naive that they would be at all surprised at this.

And are also funding Clinton:

Troubling, but Trump is pro Saudi too. They're like one of the few regimes he doesn't have some overblown problem with. He said that they should have nuclear weapons; that this would improve things. Believe me, I'd like a candidate with a hardline anti-Saudi stance, but Trump doesn't have one.

Oh look, Ron Paul vomited Wikileaks on the thread and wants us to take him seriously.

You see thats the opposite of what I want. Primary advantage of being far-right, it keeps out LARPing liberals who care more about virtue signalling than accomplishing things, if they even care about that at all. Can you even imagine people who blubber about safespaces and microaggressions ever pulling off something like this? Taking over one of the major political parties? When someone on the left gets doxxed and harrassed they get an inbox full of mean words. When someone on the Alt-Right does, they call your schools, they call your workplaces and they make sure you have no chance of a future ever again. Then you get no asspats, you get no teary-eyed interviews, you get a chorus of people happy that it happened because youre mean to them on the internet. No one who is in this isnt serious. They might be stupid, but they dont LARP. And thats why we are the GOP now.

Oh. Okay.

:suu:

Pretty sure he's actually crazy and this stopped being fun.

I'm now absolutely certain that he's a very badly deluded individual. I've met plenty of the sort.

Either he's nuts or he's alt-right.  Or both.

Well the one is wholly a subset of the other.

And, why given the horrible effects of NAFTA already do you think this is a good idea for anyone but 1% vampires?
