It's a lot more complicated than that. Marxism is not an original sin under any understanding. Rather, it is - if you'll excuse the neologism - a revolutionist ideology that has no end or point of satiation. What I mean by this is in contrast to the English Civil War or American Revolution, which were revolutions in one nation and after that the revolution was over, Marxism is the spawn of the French Revolution, which had the idea to go virilent and export its revolution. Arguments could be made for and against such a thing; but the problem with Marxism is you can never attain the utopia it sets out to create so even if the global workers rebellion is successful, it just devolved into "you're not a real socialist" series of sectarian wars where every county us trying to export their perfect revolution to the countries that suffered an imperfect revolution. And on and on it goes. The revolution never stops, until society ceases to function.

The problem here isn't necessarily Marx's ideals - which were wrong, history is not deterministic and communism is not inevitable - but rather the -ism part. The part that convinces people that these ideas must be implemented, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even after China realized that it needed more of a free market, these cutlists carry on with their "inevitable" revolution.

Patriarchy and privilege are, as said before, original sins of a society. "Your society is flawed because it is male dominated". "Your society is flawed because certain ethnicities have an advantage". Whataboutisms that are true of all societies, in one way or another.

To be fair, whataboutism is leftis' favorite deflection when called out on their double standards

Oh so that's why you hate them. If you put him on the air, everyone tunes in to listen to what he has to say and then you have to work twice as hard to try and spin whatever he says the other direction. Sorry, but whether you like him or not, the President of the United States addressing the nation during a global pandemic is newsworthy.

If you refuse to air it, you're not a neutral party, you're an oppositional propagandist.

The sailor in me saw this and got super irritated. No, idiot you can't just "expedite repairs."

Long lead time parts need to be procured, contracts need to be rewritten, other ships' work needs to be pushed, equipment needs to be optested, cofferdams need to be removed, boilers need to be hydroed, sea trials need to be conducted...

Does it ever occur to these blue checkmark idiots to investigate if something can even be done before claiming with absolute certainty it needs to be?

They're blue checkmarks for a reason, pleb. Why would they need to investigate things before talking about it? You expect them to do independent research?

if you don't follow michael tracey, you should. his world is constantly crashing around him and he gets flamed constantly by everyone and doesn't ever learn his lessons. keep your eyes peeled for bureaucrat tweets - many times the spiciest of tracey trashing comes from him.

This may not be the thread for this, but that "know it all" attitude/cosplaying as an expert on a subject that you know 100% nothing about Michael Tracy is displaying here is seriously endemic in online discourse now, especially with those of a more soy persuasion. I'm in a FB group for skiing/snowboarding, and with the China Flu shuttering all of the ski resorts, and I was going insane at the deluge of posts of people pretending they were pandemic control experts and also ski conglomerate CEO's.

I'd like to introduce you to a personal lolcow and TDS sufferer, comedian James Hodge. Ages ago when I saw this dude live he was actually pretty funny and seemed like a decent fell from my interaction with him but then Trump got elected and it broke his brain in such a fantastic way that he spergs on Facebook about it and how were going to all die from WuFlu and Trump is to blame to the point of consuming his entire being.

Trump destroyed the economy

He actually managed to not sperg about Trump too much for a day after this one, I think?

Well you see when you don't need to sight/name your sources you can make up anything you want and claim it's real. Hence why we got my favorite myth that the man drinks 16+ cans of diet coke a day and a big mac a day.

Thank you, courtesy of your grammar you have now claimed the man somehow drinks a big mac.

Now I can't get that idea out of my brain and it hurts.
