@andrewwaustin Nothing says “I’m not even close to rightwing” like hailing the electoral success of France’s far-right as “saving Western civilization.” Totally normal non-right wing sentiment.
@andrewwaustin I mean look, if that’s how you feel I’m fine with saving you the trouble and backing off. I’m just curious why you run from calm conversations so quickly 🤷♀️
@andrewwaustin I already said I didn’t study Engels’ personal life because I was more interested in Marx than him. Am I allowed to have different preferences than you?
@andrewwaustin I mean, I’m answering your questions so obviously I’m not opposed, I’m just making sure this is a two way street and you answer my one question after I’ve answered your several.
@andrewwaustin I mean, obviously, but then again if communist why iPhone? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and I’m sure he was not exploiting his workers.
Are you going to address my question?
@andrewwaustin Well, technically he had several. IIRC, he ran a business. Don’t recall what the business was off the top of my head, I was more interested in Marx than Engels.
Now, I answered your question at face value. Care to answer mine? Or are you going to ask me to name his top 3 albums
@andrewwaustin Lol, because I’m not allowed to change the views I was raised on? I stopped buying into the values of my upbringing when I was a teenager, 20 years ago. Why are you evading the question? It’s a softball.
@andrewwaustin …okay. I am also a Marxist and not religious and have fought clergy my whole life, perks of growing up far-right Evangelical. That doesn’t answer the question.
@andrewwaustin I mean…given that second part it seems you already know how. You shit on college wellness centers, your college has one. You shit on DEI, your college preaches it. You clearly loathe trans acceptance, your college is great at that.
@andrewwaustin You know what, I’m feeling nice today so I’ll let that stand. Why are you so invested in teaching at a university that openly works against the views you hold yourself, minus the p*do thing?
@andrewwaustin Hey, thanks for the compliment! I changed my mind, because I’m very curious and thought of a question. Let’s say I cede the argument to you. DEI is bad, trans people are deluded terrorists, LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles, college wellness centers suck. You’re right. So given that -
@andrewwaustin Excellent example of word salad. Anyway, I made the point I wanted to make about the deep narcissism of comparing yourself to Galileo, so my work here is done. Have the day you deserve!
@andrewwaustin Nothing says “I won’t bow to cancel culture” like privating your blog as soon as critical attention is drawn to it. You can lie to people on this hellsite, but the people involved in this know how much of a coward you are.
@EmtheFishLady@WitchOfSeacats@SpeakerPelosi Ignoring Nazis is exactly what allowed Hitler to rise to power in the first place. Ignoring all your problems rarely actually makes them better.
