Oh. Okay. I guess you don’t look at evidence. Or read posts

Jesus wouldn’t turn his other cheek if you slapped him. He would slap you back.

What evidence runs counter to the fact that supporting bourgeois parties will never empower the proletariat?

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I gave all my evidence to your mom.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 hours ago

Do you think you're convincing anyone with petty insults?

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -5 points 9 hours ago

No, the story that this meme was based on has been proven false.

Let’s go to hexbear and debate beagouis shit over tea and cavier

Platner is a former imperialist boot, and does have Nazi tattoos, and continuing to support the democrats over any worker-forward parties will not advance the interests of the working classes. These are my claims, I am not OP, and throwing petty schoolyard insults at me rather than responding to my actual claims isn't going to help anything.

No idea what you're insinuating with the caviar bit.

What lies? Are you confusing me with OP? I gave you my 3 claims. Are you denying that Platner is a former imperialist boot? Are you denying his Nazi tattoos? Or are you of the belief that supporting bourgeois parties is a viable path to worker emancipation? Your article is addressing OP, not me, so you're clearly not actually addressing me.

I support our United States troops and military. I do not support the leaders at the top. What rank was Platner?

If you’re trying to say anyone who has ever joined the us military is somehow evil? Eff off.

Platner for the win.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I do not support the US imperial military, as it's an extremely brutal means by which the US Empire cements its neocolonial and imperialist extraction around the world. No good has come from the US military outside of its participation in World War II in the last century. The problem isn't simply the leaders, it's the entire imperialist system the US Empire rests on, along with its ongoing settler-colonial project. Platner's participation in that system is well-documented.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -5 points 9 hours ago

Our troops disproportionately come from poor and working class families.

Back off with that argument.

Reduce the military budget to give free healthcare and free meals in public schools? Sure.

But your argument is farcical in the context of this article commentary.

Platner kicks ass.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago

I'm well aware that the military preys on the vulnerable. I'm also well aware that Planter openly admitted to volunteering not out of desparation, but pleasure. I will not back off when it comes to anti-imperialism, you're throwing the question of US imperialism and settler-colonialism under the rug because the conclusions are damning for your argument. The US Empire must be dismantled.

Further, I am not OP. You are not talking to OP. I raised the points of Platner's participation in US imperialism and war crimes, his Nazi tattoos, and the fact that supporting bourgeois parties will never bring about worker emancipation. Stop bringing up the article like it has anything to do with what I am saying, I was responding to your "vote blue no matter who" claim.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

You’re not on the left. The left has been making fun of the phrase blue no matter who for over ten years now.

Please stop throwing up windmills and straw men.

Bye

I hereby declare you lose all credibility for using blue no matter who phrase unironically. Dang. You must be ashamed of yourself

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I'm a Marxist-Leninist, I'm absolutely on the left. You quite literally stated "vote blue no matter who" in the very beginning, then proceeded to keep mentioning the article despite me never bringing it up. This is a literal line from you:

Vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass.

I was not using it, I was responding to your point.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Hey bro or sis or what not, maybe you can’t understand irony, I dunno… but yea… I’m not a blue no matter who guy, you’re reading comprehension or something is off if you thought or think that….

In this instance, the folks who always say vote blue no matter who will not be voting blue no matter who, they will continue to look up who platner’s girlfriend was when they were both 15 and he got an erection and she was offended.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago

Considering you are actively advocating for an imperialist boot with Nazi tattoos, and literally said "vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass," it makes sense that you believe what you say.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

And considering you continue to spew disproven false stories, good luck to you.

Cool interview for anyone reading this

What "disproven, false stories" have I spewed? Are you denying Platner serving in the US military, and having Nazi tattoos?
