don't fret, i didn't return to tell you anything, sweetie. you are so far gone, i just won't bother, sorry.
what i'm doing is reading this thread - elections draw near, so i thought i'd amuse myself, you know. then Larssen asked a question and i posted some of the posts i stumbled upon.
i don't think that black democrat voters are big kanye west fans. especially since he came out in a major way in support of trump.Dilbert_X wrote:

if kanye west runs for president, does that mean the 0.5% of MAGA-supporting african-americans will split from trump's vote into an independent?
OMG big moves.
You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that yak, I wanna fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hpnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothin to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Cool off thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
We major (come on, homie, we major) [repeat]

No its that its just been announced that Elon Musk is supporting his presidential bid.uziq wrote:
do you think african-americans are obsessed with elon musk or something? pretty strange take. i'm pretty sure a lot of americans see him as a very problematic boss and the beneficiary of blood diamond wealth. which, incidentally, kanye did a song about.
i actually didn't know that. i heard they both linked up recently.Dilbert_X wrote:

Who could have imagined, first Trump now a West-Musk ticket.

The idea of libertarianism suited you when you thought it would give you an advantage, now 'conservatism' gives you an advantage so you've latched on to that.
wrong. most people grow up and move on from ayn rand/emo nietzsche/richard dawkins.Jay wrote:

Oh aye? They gain nothing from their idealism? They don't perhaps gain a sense of moral superiority that they can then wield as a cudgel in every conversation? Not all self interest has to do with money. In fact, I would argue that people who are interested in money are the lesser of the two evils, because at least they're honest with themselves and the world, and their motives are not necessarily linked to malice. I am, in fact, motivated by more than money, but you disprove of my motivations and thus dismiss them out of hand because they, necessarily, would undermine your own. You are a misanthrope that would force people to live and think as he does, if granted the power. Granted, your vision for the world might indeed be nicer and more egalitarian than the one that currently exists, but it is still dependent on your own use of force to gain it. How is that moral? How is that beneficial to the ones that are crushed along the way? You are purely driven by ego.Dilbert_X wrote:

Individual freedom. He advocates for technocracy. He despises the fact that the world is not perfectly ordered to his liking, and that people have the free will to do as they please. He's absolutely convinced of his own moral and intellectual superiority and considers others to be unfit. If given absolute power he would likely behave no differently than every other absolute ruler in history. He'd probably start by liquidating his neighbors and then move on to other people that have always annoyed him simply by existing, and having a differing opinion.uziq wrote:
who is 'crushed' in dilbert's social-democratic politics?
