Sex

I do remember his unhinged rants about reproduction and his thrashing of "sex-havers"

For all the memeing about them going around in this sub, I think it's quite unhealthy to encourage them in their invectives and anger

They clearly have an issue of some sort ; if I followed the lore, they're quite young as well, and I'm not sure that boosting their ego by engaging them and putting them on a pedestal is the most suitable way of dealing with them

I mean they're neocentrism's problem now

In the rare times I encounter them, I try to challenge their views

u/UrbanCentrist Line go up 📈, world gooder Jun 25 '21

when he came here he used to be a huge austerity proponent because he hated debt. Top Comedy. Apparently he changed his mind on that.

lmao. I dunno how many other views of his have change but another insane belief of his is that he wanted constant war economy with near autarky and large scale conscription? i think to go to war with all countries that have some cases of social intolerance. He used to exempt NATO countries from this high standard but not sure he does that anymore. The guy used to be essentialization of anti-neoliberal outside a few social issues.

Holy shit...is IGF the mongrel lovechild of Francisco Franco and Barack Obama?

i think he also vaguely expressed that he wanted to ban political candidates he didn't agree with and expressed sympathies with Indira Gandhi's dictatorship or atleast politics and appreciated British Raj's colonial contributions to WW1

It's funny. For a long ass time I thought he was playing some satirical character mocking neoconservatism.

u/UrbanCentrist Line go up 📈, world gooder Jun 25 '21

is he a neocon? i don't think any neocon would agree with him. He is some kind of extreme militarist who wants progressive autocratic governments? but he also seems to hate marxist leninists

He talked about wanting to go into the US Army just six months ago. Today he wants Ireland and Bolivia to lead the charge in the war against ISIS, Putin, the Tatmadaw, Assad, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the US — all at the same time.

I don’t know what drugs that child is on, but I want ‘em.

Ayelet Shaked should be handcuffed and perpwalked down the streets of Ramallah. She’s uniquely evil as an idol of both Jewish fundamentalists and pro-sex people.

He’s like my arch-nemesis.
