Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 23, 2024

[u/tuesday_mod]

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

The absolute irony of Lenin/Stalin/Guevara/Castro fan girls justifying the cold-blooded murder of someone because they were a “mass murderer that did it legally”. Some of these people are just barbarians disguised as revolutionaries.

[u/Tombot3000 → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

The part that really gets me is how uncritically people leap to "they forced us to do/support this" when they've never so much as lifted a finger to address the problem before cheerleading cold blooded murder.

Barbaric is a good way to put it.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/Tombot3000]

Something I've wondered after listening to those barbarians and y'all.

I wonder if it's something as simple as "those who still have faith in institutions find him a murderer, those who don't see him as hero worth praise."

[u/Tombot3000 → u/Vagabond_Texan]

If they want to be anarchists, they are welcome to go move to Sudan and see what it's like to live in a society that really doesn't have functional institutions.

Here's some helpful trips for travel there in a country where murder is commonplace and society no longer cares to condemn it: https://www.state.gov/sudan-travel-advisory-remains-level-4-do-not-travel/

Otherwise, they're just societal leeches LARPing as revolutionaries.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/Tombot3000]

I wouldn't say they want anarchism, just a dramatic overhaul of the institutions themselves.

[u/Tombot3000 → u/Vagabond_Texan]

Yeah anarchists is probably not the ideal term. Maybe late stage capitalists? Not sure what the shorthand is for "believes society has already failed despite all the available evidence to the contrary."

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/Tombot3000]

I would argue they would say it hasn't failed outright, but we are on that path.

What's the old saying? No single drop of rain believes it caused the flood?
