There’s a first for everything.
And FWIW qman has got a lot better about controlling his Hulk-like tendency to turn green and throw tanks when immigration or social justice comes up, at least from what I’ve seen. Doesn’t make him right, just more tolerable.

I see your point. Tbh it is more fun than the 20,000 “Obama good/bad” thread format we had in previous years. One positive aspect of the tumult of our current political moment is that it’s exciting, the facade of monotony is gone. The obvious negative aspect is that it’s terrifying, but it’s like Gramsci said: “The old world is dying and a new world struggles to be born, now is the time of monsters.”

Excellent Gramsci reference. Along with the Frankfurt school, Gramsci is the key figure in cultural Marxism. It's a shame that in Italy and France, regular people are exposed to the intellectuals, but here how many people have read Chomsky?

I might have to hit him up. It would make a nice keepsake. Michel Foucault used to write newspaper columns in Paris. I assume they were intelligible. I had most of his books and they were laborious.

I guess qman was right.
Still choosing to die on this hill? Have you honestly forgotten every economic discussion that was derailed into qmans warnings of 'hordes of unskilled migrants'? Do you no longer remember every discussion on climate change that stagnated due to qmans doubts regarding the veracity of climate science? Blocked out the memories of discussions of international politics devolving into claims of antisemitic conspiracy?
Do you forget the opportunity I gave qman to provide their supposed "rational thought" regarding claims of machinations by the Jewish people and all we got was a single anecdote and some emotionally fueled drivel?

The racism on this website has never been supported - it won't be supported - because it can't be supported. Racism is wrong and there will be no benefit from tolerating the same racist beliefs ad nausea.
Who gives a shit if a person politely spreads their racist beliefs - does that make the belief any less vile? We shouldn't tolerate racists because they are polite, we should reflect on the idea that the politeness we experience is a luxury that would not be afforded to others if the racist beliefs being politely propagandized were ever acted upon.
Here's a different challenge - instead of continually asking us to reestablish the negative effect of qmans posts, why don't you submit some examples where qmans racism and antisemitism provided a beneficial effect for this community?

Oh, you have proven that bringing in millions of broke, uneducated third world migrants into Western nations doesn't have an social economic impact that lowers the quality of life for the native population? You better inform the EU population they're getting all worked up over nothing.
BTW, this is an economic issue, it has nothing to do with race. It wouldn't matter where the migrants can from, but you obviously use the racism excuse because you just can't resist.

Have you ever considered that your ability to view racist and antisemitic propagandizing as merely "fun and provocative" comes from a place of privilege where the worst results of said propaganda are perceived as unlikely to directly effect you?
I imagine it's a little bit harder to view something like say... an international debate on immigration policy that has to contend with rampant ethno-nationalism, as light entertainment and diversion when you find yourself on the receiving end of resulting fascist violence.

Again, you don’t get to play this card when your ideology revolves around walling off the global south and condemning them to genocide to protect “your” resources.
Shiva probably has the most nuanced understanding of violence in this sub tbh

No, I don't remember. Qman has always agreed with climate science (to my recollection). His arguments have mainly been about the financial costs to combat climate science.

I think you need to think more about how discussions are framed, and how certain framing affects those discussions. I think the point here is that we can’t ever get to larger discussions about labor or migration because we’re always bogged down by ceding the argument to qman and posters like him, and letting him argue on the grounds that he’d like to argue on.
If we only ever discuss migration on the terms of domestic economic net result we’re missing a vast majority of the information necessary to form an opinion on the topic.
