I know you support reform because we have argued on this site many times. I imagined that you had a pretty good grasp on my views as well. In my time here, I've seen you back-peddle often, and you've taken more and more of a moderate approach on issues you were once very leftist about. I don't know if that is because you fear confrontation and do not want to upset intelligent users here, or if that is because you have been learning and changing. I hope it is the latter.

"...but offer important points for reform." Reform is not centrist. Supporting either political party is not centrist. I also do not speak of a revolution. However, voting is a dead-end, and I do not speak of this past election, I speak of every election since JFK, maybe FDR. They are all illegitimate. We have natural rights. These rights allow us to overthrow illegitimate governments. I do not speak of a revolution. I speak of a revolt, and that is more akin to defending one's land than trying to change one's government. If a rapist is trying to claim that he owns your family, you defend your family.

I'll look into the book. However, any "centrist" who seeks "reform" is always a quiet member of one of the two parties, and their "reform" is always a scam committed so that they may further some goal. This has been made evident by all of the third-party candidates who are actually just Democrats or Republicans in disguise. This is a well known phenomenon.

"I wouldn't worry much about feminism." Yeah, and you also think we shouldn't worry about Talmudic Jews in power across the globe. Feminism isn't something my sister can keep supporting, you are correct. However, your reasons for that are wrong. She will stop supporting it because it will sicken her one day, and she will feel such shame and guilt that she will be required to radically change her views for something more life-affirming so that she may rid herself of that guilt and shame. The same might just happen to you one day.

I probably shouldn't respond, but:

I don't know if that is because you fear confrontation and do not want to upset intelligent users here, or if that is because you have been learning and changing. I hope it is the latter.

Absolutely none of these things. I've mentioned that I am here to try to see what the alt-right is up to, and thus learn about websites I'd never see elsewhere. 1) Saidit is normally a place for confrontation; 2) this is the first I've seen someone mention that there are intelligent users at Saidit, which is NOT the impression one gets when reading Saidit posts; the impression one gets is of mental illness, racism, sexism, extreme right-wing, etc. etc.; 3) perhaps learning about alt-righ viewpoints, but not changing with regard to my views of them. It's not as though I suddenly like Nazis.

The reforms I refer to are obviously left of center, in the viewpoint of an alt-right person.

If you don't vote, you support the loudest, ugliest, meanest, most corrupt asshole running for office, like Trump and similar Republicans.

you also think we shouldn't worry about Talmudic Jews in power across the globe

This is the polar opposite of what I think. WTF.

she may rid herself of that guilt and shame

I shouldn't comment on family matters, but this is just wrong on so many levels.

I try to have a sensible debate occasionally on Saidit. Sometimes it doesn't work. This last response is really condescending, and full of attacks of a personal nature. It's not part of a healthy discussion or debate. Perhaps it's unintentional, but its what I try to avoid at Saidit, as much as possible. In any event, this is why I thought I should respond. Best wishes.

I am not a Nazi, sir, and neither are many of the users here you seem to think are racists, or extreme right-wing. Some of them sure are, but I am not one. I have different views, which are authoritarian, but I do not believe in forcing my views on others through the blade or the pulpit. I will defend myself though. Reforms are not solutions that a true moderate would suggest when they are being attacked.

"If you don't vote..." I have the fucking right not to vote, Socks, and you know it. Don't ever try to blame the evils of either candidate on someone who will not take part in the charade. What the hell.

My sister deals with crippling depression and anxiety, born out of guilt and shame. I know all about that, and I conquered it, even though too many "experts" told me I'd deal with it for life. I am a happy, confident, driven man. My sister will have that for herself one day too, when she rids herself of all of those wasteful emotions.

So, you have a problem with the Jews in power? Why do you treat so many users here with such scorn when they try to talk about it?

OK - in answer to your question:

1) Yes, the Jewish lobby is toxic for the US

2) I cannot think of a time that I supported the Jewish lobby, or associated wealthy Jewish business people, or Zionists.

3) Jewish people who don't fit the categories above, or who are not orthadox, are in my view the same as most other people. I don't like insular groups that try to exclude mixing with the general population and who support taking advantage of the 99% for the sake of the 1%.

This is all very refreshing to read from you, and new information to boot. (for me, at least)
