Jon Stewart on being right about the lab leak. The left are like a giant traumatized child, focused on survival and self preservation, rigid black and white thinking, the “I’ll get them before they get me” mindset, everything is extreme,reactive. All in response to dynamics that are no longer valid.

The title here is misleading, on a podcast discussion that's very informative, rather than about 'left' or 'right'. It's about everyone, not the left. Thanks for the post. No thanks for the editorializing the title.

[–]Chipit[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (48 children)

Jon Stewart and his ilk are all left. And the discussion is very much about how the even they are dismayed how the left is extreme, reactive and rigid black and white thinking. It's not an editorial, it's accurate.

[–]dicknipples 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (47 children)

The left SHOULD criticize the extreme left and the right SHOULD criticize the extreme right. It's not rocket science. One problem on the right is that many of them are promoting extreme fascism, and that ANYTHING left of that fascism is pinko Communist faggotry. So - good that Jon is calling out the extreme left. The right should do the same against fascists.

Everyone has to be either all left or all right. There are no other options. One disagreement and they'll both count you as the enemy.

Either you're a shitty voluntaryist or you're an excellent sarcasticist.

I'd rather be "the enemy" in the fringe majority than in the Left or Right.

[–]VulptexVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Obviously sarcastic. One you know me, two they wouldn't describe themselves that way.

function part = afterialfabet( word, letter )

for ( i = 1 : length(word) )

if ( letter < word(i) )

  a(i) = word(i);


end

end

part = a;

part = part(part ~= 0);

end

Everyone is just letting evil i.e. usurpation run amuck
 
edit:
Everyone is partaking in evil, usurping self AND others

I suppose it's human nature to fear nuance.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

THIS NIGGER FINALLY LEARNED SOMETHING! holy shit it only took you 5 years

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's only been half that but seems like 500 years.

Fuck socks forever!

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No one fears nuance more than you, brainiac

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

if you had to fuck and kill a Ukrainian nazi jew, what order would you do it in?

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I'd let them join NATO and watch while they support the freedom of speech of the remaining 10 Neo-Nazi Azov Regiment blokes who want to march down a street

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

They're not the extreme left. They're the left. And they regard anyone to the right of Mao Zedong as nazis. They tell us all the time. Jon Stewart, for example.

Actual fascists on the right are rare as hens' teeth. Not many people want to serve as slaves to a corporate-government union. "All in the state, nothing outside the state" is the thesis statement of fascism.

[–]VulptexVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Unfortunately not anymore. After the left burned all of Minneapolis to the ground over a supposed racist cop killing, the right said "screw it" and lost it just as badly. It's over, we're doomed.

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

After the left burned all of Minneapolis to the ground

What's with the weird, extreme easily debunked statements?

[–]VulptexVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You think this is "easily debunked"?

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

They're not the extreme left. They're the left.

IFIFY:
They're not the Extreme Left. They're the Left.

And neither are the old-left majority.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

We disagree on all of these points.

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

OK, I'll bite. Show me where I can find actual fascists.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS LOLOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!~@@!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

Now, show me where I can find empathy and kindness towards the American working class on the left.

You can't. I've looked. It doesn't exist. Okay, once in a while you'll find a fossilized relic from the 60s who still spouts that bullshit, but who is immediately shot down by other leftists and called a fascist enabler. But the left hates our guts and tells us all the time.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Indeed - more points that are the polar opposite of the facts, IMO.

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I didn't see any actual fascists, nor a place of sympathy for Americans from the left.

Because they are rare, very rare, and you don't know where to find either. And neither does anyone else.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Put these on: https://youtu.be/g4XiKChyK7A?t=127

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (25 children)

I actually agree, and that is EXACTLY what Jimmy Dore does.

Also everyone can and should be critical of everyone else too.
It's called awareness.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (24 children)

EXACTLY what Jimmy Dore does.

I've not seen him criticize the right wing misinformation

(and this is not me asking to see any examples of his comments)

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (19 children)

Jimmy Dore is a leftist who commits the worst crime: he criticizes the left for its wrongs.

I think if you want to see criticism of the right, you need only tune in to the corporate media. It's all over 24/7.

This whole "if you're going to point out where the left has lost its mind, you must spend an equal amount of time criticizing the right" is a common left-wing response to Dore, which is obviously meant to discredit what he's saying without actually pointing out where he's wrong.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (18 children)

No, he's not

Moreover, he doesn't criticize right wing misinformation

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

LOL Jimmy Dore was the biggest Bernie supporter on the internet.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

So were some of the users here and in /r/WayOfTheBern, which is now hijacked by right wing misinformation, not to mention a few fascists.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

Bernie sold out, twice, terribly.
It would have been better if he had resisted and been assassinated than to live on as a fucking coward in shame.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

He does.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Nooooooope

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

You're such a lying hypocrite.
How can you know if you don't watch?

It's exceptionally easy to be critical of the right when you're coming from the other side, corrupt Corporate Left, crazy Far Left, or old-left. He doesn't waste time stating the obvious like countless others in the obviously divisive game of Left vs Right.

What Jimmy Dore does is try to get the Left to actually be held accountable and do what they say instead of be corporate shills, like you.

You wouldn't know because you say you won't watch him because you've got a closed retarded mind.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

You openly admit you don't watch Jimmy Dore - so how would you ever know?

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

You know very well that I've tried my best to sit through a few minutes of that illogical, unfounded, drivel. Still, you don't have ANY evidence of him criticizing right wing misinformation. Ya know why? Because anyone who watches him would only be from the delusional, fascist right.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I don't give a shit if you "tried".

You are ignorant about Jimmy Dore. I'm a fucking expert. Your opinion is bullshit.

I'm telling you, he criticizes EVERYONE who deserves it, left, right, center, whatever.

Go fuck yourself with a chainsaw, liar shill.

[–]dicknipples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Keep your panties on.

I keep saying:

I ask for an example wherein he criticizes right wing misinformation

I will watch that
