Anyone Else March for Peace Today ?

[Agathon]

Perhaps it's time to start another Lefties war gloating thread.

I suppose that the tories who actually know that the war was simply about money and power can be credited with some knowledge, but you really have to have contempt for the other hopeless losers.

I thought you knew that the administration was full of neo-cons? And thus their goal is the democracitization of the ME over interest-based (realist) goals of money & power.

Agathon wants the UN to take over the rebuilding of Iraq.

Great idea. I'd put the LOL smilie here but the idea is so doomed to failure it wouldn't even be funny to put the Iraqi people through it.

Apparently commies are so "in tune with what's happening in the world," that they've forgot to notice the repeated failures of the UN.

One day you will wake up and realize that while you thought you were living a normal life, you in fact have spent the whole time bending over with your trousers down and a sign saying "Bugger me, I'm a believer".

Everone knows that "conservative" is short for "con-artist".

Ted - blame the failures of the UN on your scum country, which attempts to prevent it doing its job. Count them vetoes and then come back when you actually have something useful to say.

Neoconservatism must be the most brainless, postmodern ideology in history. I mean the whole thing is so vacuous it's laughable.

Their basic attitude is "let's take a bunch of discredited economic and social ideas, stack 'em together with a mediaeval view of crime and punishment and mix them into a dull porridge of prejudices. And if anyone objects, well there is no truth anymore, so we will substitute conviction - so even if we're arseholes, no-one can prove it."

I overheard some students last term talking about how they should identify themselves politically in another class they were taking. Both thought that they should be neoconservatives, not because they actually believed in any of it, but because they thought it would be advantageous to be thought so.

And so the university disgorges another pair of empty heads....


All conservatism, neo or not, is simply a poor means of rationalizing one's desire to impoverish, rip off and dominate others. It's no different than Protestants trying to convince themselves that poor people deserve it. What's amazing is that some people actually end up believing that crap. I mean.. every child knows it's wrong, but they have it beaten into them enough and they end up believing it.

oh dear, you go away for 3 months, come back and wow! everything is exactly the same

except that apparently now people at university have to identify themselves politically in a class :/

Not so, one might argue that the ideology of the Apple followers is more brainless and vacuous.

Really, though, Agathon...you don't really come off as the enlightened philosophical type when you basically assert all conservatives are morons, period.

If anything, this would seem to help the case against you...

MarkG is a cruel bastard, no doubt about that.

[General Ludd]

I disagree. The world's largest nation has the right to remove a dictator.

Whoa.


Giancarlo is supporting russian imperialism?

[Az]

I thought he was supporting Chinese Imperialism.

Anyway, this can't be good.

[GhengisFarb™]

Sheesh, how long has Agathon been living in a different plane of reality from the rest of us? Someone should check the padding in his cell.

"Everyone" being defined as "everyone intelligent", and "intelligent" being defined as "communist".

It took awhile, but I think I finally got it.

[Az]
