ComradeYellow Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 On another note, what's with this strange bedfellow between alt right types and hipsters? I consider myself a leftist but not a hipster and I've noticed some alt righty types hanging out at my local hipster cafe. Is it merely a case of opposites being complimentary or is there something sinister going on here?
Hurlshort Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Now that multiple people have corrected Skarpie's very clear misunderstanding of Gromnir's statement, I'm sure he will learn from it and we will all move forward with better communication in the future. 1 2

Could explain it as alt right types and Marxist wannabes always moan about that. As for something sinister going on here...I think the only sensible option is the cautious one. Hipster genocide.

ComradeYellow Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I never gave more than 2 fugs about S King anyway. Way too Blue for my liking. He's even calling for aggressions against Iran which demonstrates his ultimate credibility.
Gromnir Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 let's get this straight. skarp is using a child as a human shield to deflect an argument 'bout trump lies, and Gromnir is the villain in the scenario? the next time trump takes credit for veteran's choice, something he does frequent, and uses an anecdote o' a veteran to sell his mistruth, if Gromnir calls out trump on the lack o' honesty am s'posing it will be a case o' us attacking the veteran and taking a dump on the patriotic contribution o' those who served in the armed forces? *chuckle* has been awhile since we saw somebody try and use otter level deflection defense in real life. that said, am not sure the obsidian board, with skarp o' all posters trying to play otter's role, counts as rl.

If you are using a person's politics to decide whether you like their books/songs/movies/etc. then you are waaaay too uptight about politics. That is like disliking someone because they cheer for a different sports team than you. Unless of course they are Yankees fans. Then hating them is perfectly acceptable. 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

No, really, Skarpen isn't Sharp_One in the same way that ComradeMaster isn't SonicMage117. They're just suspiciously similar in outlooks, writing style and posting quality. Although to be fair to Skarpen, he's at least consistent. ComradeMaster is a variation of a theme, coming off every bit as manufactured as his predecessor personality.
