That would definitely be a bridge too far. Samurai Lincoln would never approve of it either.

Booker really seems to be the real deal. From everything in his time in local politics to the Federal level. I would love to see someone more like him in leadership than Schumer.

Yeah that’s definitely another good one. That’s kind of a good thing about Ministry no matter what you like they probably had a period they went through it lol. New Wave, ebm and Industrial.

Oh no I understand it. And campism is 100% the right word for it. 100% childish and lacking in critical thought. Being a pragmatist I tend to rub ideologues the wrong way regardless. But at least some of them you can understand and respect. Campists should not get any.

That’s actually an awesome idea. Not having to deal with another childish ML screaming “anarkiddie” when you point out that China isn’t communist. Or the breathless “but-but-but someday they will be!!! 1!” Because as we all know, those with power love to give it up.

I know I could put together an hour long set/playlist of just covers of this song. 🙂 It’s an icon like Bauhaus’s Bella etc. Early Ministry is always my favorite ministry. Effigy is another classic.

Yes the whole point of that statement was pointing out that the latter didn’t happen. It was a rhetorical statement. The framing before that statement made it quite obvious. Stating that in order for the parties to have switched. The fascists would have to leave the Republican party. Which anyone who is informed knows did not happen. You are agreeing with me while attacking me.

Unfortunately handling those sort of things at the server level would add a lot of extra processing over what it currently does. Which for a democratized Federated and distributed system. Would be very tough.

I didn’t say otherwise. I literally implied that the xenophobic bigots and the fascists all joined together in the Republican Party. You need to work on reading comprehension I think.

Don’t you know? Only those that do good things to avoid eternal spiritual damnation are truly free. People that do something just because it’s right are slaves to their conscience… Or something even stupider than that I suppose.

Nope just blocks YOU from seeing their communities. You ultimately have to block them individually.

Yep. This isn’t lack of self awareness or hypocrisy. It’s manufacture of consent for them to do what they want.

Nice. I’ll have to give it a full listen and later along with the rest of their catalog. Hadn’t necessarily heard of them. But I’m always up for more Mediterranean goth / darkwave.

Selofan is another favorite from the region. Just over in Greece.

While that is the pop culture explanation it isn’t quite right. In order for the parties to have flipped. The rural xenophobic bigots would have had to go to the Republican party. And the Republicans fascists would have had to have gone to the Democratic party.

The KKK and the bigots switched. The parties didn’t really. The true irony being the KKK and Southern bigots were the huge influence on European fascists. But in the United States they were technically opposed simply because they had traditionally been in different political parties. But civil rights legislation brought about a realignment. Our ignorant xenophobic bigots and our fascist suddenly found themselves Brothers in Arms.

The party’s polarized along the xenophobia and bigotry lines. But they didn’t really switch.

Almost strange to think that this nearly never played on the radio track is one of Duran Duran’s more covered songs. This is definitely a fun interpretation of it though.

As an American I’ve never really used it. I’ve played with it. But I find it extremely quirky and fascinating and I’m glad to see that it’s still existing and being developed. I’d love to see a more modernized version available especially for things like the upcoming risk 5 architecture. It would be very fitting all things considered

Reading comprehension. Read again, slower this time.

Lies and projection, impressive. As proof I point to your very first post in this thread chain. Go ahead look at your post now back to mine post again, then back to yours. Who’s the juvenile toxic one? Oh BTW you offered no receipts. You made an empty claim without even a link to a single post.

Let me show you how to do it. You are well known for not being able to handle anyone who disagrees with you. No matter how respectfully. Resorting to juvenile tactics and name calling, such as blue maga. In an attempt to discredit the arguments and points of others. Because you cannot put forth any cogent defense of your viewpoints. You shrilly shouted it plenty.

My only stance was that statistically, mathematically, historically, evidentially, and traditionally a Democrat or a Republican would win the presidency. That we should pick our battles and focus on keeping the fascist out. Nothing more nothing less. You were the one running Purity tests attacking the candidates we had. Fantasizing over candidates we didn’t. Focusing on being part of the group that helped keep constant attacks on Democrats in the news and not the fact that their opponent was a literal fascist that would be the end of us. And while Democrats are plenty to blame for their own failures. You factor in as well. I never advocated for any particular candidate.(against plenty) Just to keep the fascist out. But please do point a link to an actual quote of me saying otherwise. Would have if you could have. But you didn’t. Because as I said before, all you have is juvenile emotion and projection.

Oh and I stand by the statement in that image in general. As history has born it out but it doesn’t show what you say it does. Maga blindly things to emotion and ideology over reality. As people like yourself do

Sure go ahead. It won’t disprove anything I said. But that wasn’t the point was it? It was all about deflection and distraction. Because you don’t have a response to it. You know it’s true. And you just proved it. My sins real or imagined won’t change that. Have a nice day😀

They’re not upset you appeared to criticize a Democrat. They’re juvenilly incensed that you dared push back against the propaganda they fully believe. With the most feint of defense of a Democrat. Check their history. Dingdong don’t do nuance or maturity. You’re fine.
