The dude has literally dozens of easily discoverable quote-bites of him excitedly expressing how much he loves killing, can’t get enough of it, wants to get back to doing it asap. How does he pass any smell test at all for anybody who is nominally on the left? I just don’t get it, I feel like he should be seen as so rotten that touching him would taint you (looking at popular youtubers and twitch personalities).
What stance has Platner taken that is “in the middle of the pack” exactly? This is where I think the disconnect is. You are convinced he is a sheep dog, and I am not. Neither of us can prove our points one way or another, so I’m really not sure why this conversation is continuing.
Do you really read the “Issues” page of a campaign and say “wow, I’m sire they will do everything they say they will”?
Congratulations, you’re a liberal.
Lmao, there it is. The one two punch of the liberal slur and terminally online meme. Thanks for letting me know I can no longer take anything you say seriously.
I hope platner proves you right, and if he does I will be happy to admit I’m wrong. I hope you’ll do the same if he proves you wrong. Not sure what more there is to say here.
A “20-year anarchist” who is fully invested in incremental electoralism and takes politicians’ words at face value is not serious to begin with.
Honestly it’s sad to hear you talk about your own desperation; comic relief is a natural response. Read Inhabit (or some Goldman or Kropotkin or even some Crimethinc), take some agency in your own life, and organize against the capitalist hydra instead of cheering for which of its heads you find the most soothing.
I actually don’t think electoralism is the be all end all of social change, which is why I don’t really give that much of a shit about whether Platner is a sheep dog or not. I care that he is getting the support at the level he is getting, which points to the current state of social consciousness, and shows that we are moving in the right direction. He may be an imperfect messenger, but I’m excited the he is getting the message out there that he is.
I choose a form of relief that doesn’t attack my fellow comrades, but rather embraces them. Whether platner is a true comrade or not, we will see, but your psychoanalyzing and punching left has gone far enough, so I’m going to disengage from this conversation now. Have a good one.
