  1. Can't wait for choice rhetoric to enter the organ harvesting market.

     

    "Umm, did you just shame this homeless poc for selling their liver and both their feet so they could afford a sandwich?

     

    How dare yuo. Feminism is about choice. Hold on I think I hear someone shaming a sweatshop worker"

    President-elect Donald Trump is weighing naming as Food and Drug Administration commissioner a staunch libertarian who has called for eliminating the agency’s mandate to determine whether new medicines are effective before approving them for sale.

    “Let people start using them, at their own risk,” the candidate, Jim O’Neill, said in a 2014 speech to a biotech group.

     

    O’Neill has also called for paying organ donors and setting up libertarian societies at sea — and has said he was surprised to discover that FDA regulators actually enjoy science and like working to fight disease.

     

    ...

     

    O’Neill has also said that organ donors should be allowed to be paid. “There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused,” he said in a speech at a 2009 Seasteading conference.

    I for one look forward to being an organbag in our upcoming Bioshock cyberpunk dystopia.

  3. Not at all.

     

    A liberal welfare state is in no way synonymous with Marxism or communism. Marx himself criticized the limitations of the social welfare supported by Bismark and the like.

     

    To quote myself the last time you brought this up:

     

     

    Well I think if Marx was alive today he'd be pretty satisfied with Germany's state

    Only a liberal would be able to toss aside a person's entire life's work and hijack them as one of their own.

    But... I'm not taking it as my own, I'm spending it in ways that benefit society. And I think your expression is a bit... Well extreme. Take away all your life's earnings... No definitely not. More like a high income tax, at least for those with high income. And isn't free health care and education including university worth it?

     

    Jesus Christ. You have to be a Bruce-alt because no one else could possibly misinterpret a post this bad.

  5. Guys, Castros legacy is a failure.....the Cuban idea of socialism failed because it failed to sustain or grow the economy.

    Having sanctions enforced on you by a global superpower tends to have that effect.

     

    Not that he was some shining example of socialism; he was in fact very much in the vein of the nationalist revolutionaries of the 19th century - he just draped his 'revolution' in red to cosy up with the Soviets.

  6. I fervently hope the right in Europe steamrolls over the sycophants that have no respect for their individual culture.

    Each country there is a treasure, not something to be sacrificed in the name of multiculturalism.

    I'm still waiting for a right-winger to provide a defense of cultural diversity beyond repeating "muh culture" or "muh heritage" over and over.
  7. Cultural Marxism: the conspiracy that somewhere in the margins of Adorno's critiques of how capitalism degenerates culture he secretly advocated the abolition of western society through sodomy and transgenderism.

     

    The Alt-Right is just another lazy attempt to categorize anyone outside the mainstream rightwing as i see very little in common between catholic monarchists and american neo-nazis.

    Perpetual virginity as political ideology.

  8. Going off my basic art history with the invention of the camera art being focused on depicting traditionally "realistic" depictions of reality became obsolete so more experimental art thrived.

     

    Of course this doesn't mean art prior to this was limited to the standard depiction of kings, landscapes and Jesus. That's just the **** the nobles commissioned and which the majority of the populace didn't even get to see.

     

    Look at the works of Pieter Bruegal. They could range from biting political commentary to out-right surreal.

  9. When the news broke yesterday I was stuck in traffic. There was a group of children running alongside the cars chanting "Go Trump! Go Trump!" 3 of them were black.
     

    Honestly I'm quite surprised. At no point during this election did I think Clinton was going to lose. I didn't want her to win but I was quite confident it was inevitable, right up until yesterday.

     

    Nevertheless the fact that the inevitable economic crisis will now happen not only under a Republican presidency but a Trump presidency is pretty funny.

  10. Without a divinity or higher principles for humanity to transcend to you will either end up with nihilism or the worship of a state based on ideologies. Recent history has shown that you end up with in a lot of trouble when you try to enforce that when the citizenry cannot even defend themselves.

    You're larping again man

  11. I think you showed a car crashing into something and blowing up during that post.

     

    Something about full accelerationism.

    Ha, that sounds like something I'd write.

     

    Of course as entertaining as that would it's not going to happen. Just like Sanders had no chance of being the Democrat nominee Trump has no chance of being the President.

     

    In other news, for the 5 hipsters who care about his opinion Žižek has said he'd vote for Trump. Watching his fanbase try to rationalize that is pretty funny.
