Monopoly for Socialists

Damocles said:
I do enjoy these condescending faux-concern posts every now and again. It's funny that nobody ever asks me if things are ok if I'm agreeing with their political positions, only when I start disagreeing. A remarkable coincidence and yet somewhat telling about your and others fascistic views on people and their "intelligence".

Let's pick this apart.



I don't think I've been riled up on Bluemoon for years. Once or twice I've sometimes, at my worst, hit "mildly irritated". Most of the time my main emotion that comes from the politics forum is frustration at how low some of you have fell in critical thinking skills. I'm disappointed in you. I'm disappointed that many of you have abandoned your principles of good faith reasoning to instead become cheerleaders of the left-right cabal. I'm disappointed that you, in some small way, of contributing to not just the downfall of Western humanistic society but also have become the intellectual equivalent of lemonade. I'm disappointed that you've bought not only into outrage culture but also the scientifically wrong yet mainstream social science theory of critical race theory and all of the thought across numerous domains that has stemmed from that. I'm disappointed that your idea now of clever reasoning is painting people like comic book supervillians or superheroes and that most of the political thought process comes down to "is this person on "my side", then they must be right". I'm disappointed that context around issues has now become mute and the entire basis of most people's argument seems to be some rigidly minded semantic drivel where you're not even ATTEMPTING to see both sides of an issue but instead argue now for the sole purpose of feeling morally superior to others. But that's not just Bluemoon and instead the way society has gone over the last decade or so. But as I said in the main part, I'm depressed you exist in your current form rather than angry.



And yet here you are inventing my reasoning for something, despite me literally telling you what my reasoning for something is, then using your invented reasoning as a form of criticism. I said I wanted to buy it because I thought it was funny. Your idea of "owning the libs" is a total invention and makes absolutely no sense. My political hero, rather famously on here, is Tony Blair. I'm a left of centre liberal. I just don't tie that around my neck like a noose that determines every possible thought in my head. I enjoy absurdist humour and think the stuff is funny, sue me.



Deletion that happened because morons like the outrage merchants can't tell the difference between ironic humour and humour. If Al Murray was on here, you'd want him shot. Oh and this idea that because some words on a screen offend you then those words must immediately go away or suggest some deficit of intelligence or empathy in the other person is straight up stupid. It's a game. A game invented for good reason but now stolen and co-opted by people who couldn't really care about potential outcomes and are now using it as an odd form of censorship. I mean, I don't blame them, it works unfortunately because others are as invested in this whole game as they are. But the only winning move in this game is not to play. So I'm sure people will find some of my comments racist, sexist, ageist, classist, anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-anything else you can think of. And that's perfectly fine, you're entitled to react however you want. Just as I'm entitled to not care how you react and pay no attention to it in the forming of any future opinions. I don't go in for censorship or speech, ideals or ideas and this is exactly what this little outrage game is primarily used for now. You ultimately want to control my speech.
As I say, I'm not playing. You lot argue amongst yourselves.



Yeah the big difference being that I didn't used to have two kids and now I've got two kids so spend most of my non-social nights parenting rather than talking on a forum.

The other difference between then and now is that because you and many others have fallen down a well of partisanship there's no real point in discussing things because your ideas are boring. They're repetitive, old, and stale. They've got hypocrisies and contradictions in them so wide that they make the Panama Canal look like a puddle, but not only do you fail to address these incredibly basic errors in fundamental building blocks of logic but even worse you get pissed off when others point them out.

Oh you're a left wing democratic socialist who thinks social power structures explains economic inequality and that we need equality of outcome/positive discrimination in order to combat this whilst also defining racism as power + privilege? Or you're a right wing social democrat who thinks PC culture has gone mad, socialism is the bootstrap of communism and that free markets mean that competition creates better quality and the supply/demand chain perfectly explains economic pricing structures?
Well blow me down. You and seven hundred million other people.

When I see people with interesting or well thought out opinions then I tend to engage them but when most of the posts are just people repeating lines they've heard and think might be true because it's what "their side" believes then I've got little interest. Do you even recognise how many people have got a view on the character of Nigel Farage or Jeremy Corbyn and their fitness for PM but literally have never read a manifesto produced by them? The answer isn't 0%. It's not even below 75%.

When that 25% bother to comment then so do I.

You have been watching too many Brendan O'Neill you tube clips. Your long post a while back on classical liberalism pointed to it.

My only surprise is you have not used the creep of cultural Marxism as a defence
 
This thread has deteriorated to such an extent that it mirrors the average game of monopoly...

Kings Cross and I've got 4 stations that's £200 you owe me...

Fuck you you cant.

why not answer his point that anyone else would be banned for using the phrase, fuck you?
Truth is, your sense of humour is shite, read the thread if you don't believe me, you've had a mare sunshine.

No one gets banned for using the term ‘fuck you’.

See, fuck you.

Ps, the ban would usually follow calling someone a cûnt. So I can’t do that.
