sexual_chocolate Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Â were abolotionists terrorsts? was john brown? Â Â You mean like when he and his sons hacked to death 5 fellow human beings in Pottawatomie, Kansas? Yes; I would say that made him a terrorist--which is why he was hung. Â 400 million dead Africans and John Brown's the terrorist. Riight. More of the same reactionary sound and fury as the previous posts about the end of civilization, barbarians at the gate, and the environmental devastation caused by burning four really ugly, empty houses. Fascinating, any number of today's news stories that should be drawing these howls of condemnation, in which something or someone was actually harmed. Where's your bluster for the first American suicide attack of the week at Wendy's or US Marines throwing puppies off cliffs? These incidents seem better indicators of civilizational health than some well-meaning, frustrated, and misguided kids risking their liberty to make a political statement. Get a fucking grip. Â i don't think one nefarious deed excuses another. Â i would simply like to see some moral and political consistency from the fairweather fellow, but i suppose his ideological blinders will not allow for such.

prole Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 i don't think one nefarious deed excuses another. Â I'm not saying it does. The point is to maintain some fricking perspective! It seems people have lost all ability to differentiate between levels of magnitude or recognize inequalities in power relations. I don't think I'm ready to start hauling members of the French Resistance before a court to answer for killing Nazis or branding people freeing monkeys with electrodes on their balls terrorists. It's simply absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Â 400 million dead Africans and John Brown's the terrorist. Â ...an oft quoted "middle passage" number that is utterly ridiculous. Anyone who believes this has big problems with not only math, but truth. Now is the part where you fall back on, "yea man, so what man, are you trying to say that four thousand, or forty thousand, or whatever, man, that that was ok? Is that what you're saying you right-wing bastard!!!!!! Huh????" Â That quarter-and-a-half you did at Whatcom Community College was just enough to make you a total dipshit without a fucking clue.

tvashtarkatena Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) If ELF's objective was to begin a public discussion of the issue of overconsumption and waste regarding McMansions, (if, in fact, they did the deed) they were wildly successful.

Â wow. harsh. antagonistic. very very angry. Â I'd say another tragedy is that there are people so stupid that they cannot see that "Marxism" was and is, for the thinking person, mainly descriptive, not prescriptive. it's an immensely rich avenue of inquiry and discourse. where i fall off is when people endorse its barely formed prescriptive theoretics, without acknowledging its tremendous short-comings and misapplications.

tvashtarkatena Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I thought the 100 million also had something to do with Hitler. Thanks for clearing this up for us, KKK. We're all a bit less stupid because of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really see anything in there about what Marx thought about the prospects of a communist revolution in Russia. Maybe you could track that down for us and make a report. I think it's ironic that the people who burned those McMansions down were probably green anarchists and hate Communists more and know more about them than you do.

Fairweather Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I just want to know why someone who claims to be so educated--like our proletariat friend--is so willing to digest the "400 million" dead Africans pap. Tell me, Prole, did the Atlantic turn red and the entire ecosystem therein change as feeding sharks doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in number, such a ready source of food now at hand?
