I don't let others think for me...here's the link to a podcast I got my ideas from.

So, is your galaxy-brain take here that voting for fascism leads to fascism, voting against fascism leads to fascism and not voting leads to fascism and all 3 get us there at the same time? I mean, that sure sounds like you're saying not to vote.

He’s an expert and a professor, and I am sure he knows eating sausage causes heart disease. Who are you?

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I don't doubt the guys credentials...but John Maynard Keynes was an author and Kings College fellow, and he got a lot of shit wrong, too.

Either there's a lot of nuance that you filtered out of his theories, or the guy is playing the same game as Jordan Peterson (another author and professor who likes to talk out his ass).

The only logical conclusion of the argument you made was that voting has no economic or policy outcomes, and all democratic systems will inexorably lead to fascism. There is not sufficient evidence to support that claim.

We will see. I didn’t come to this conclusion from one podcast. It’s been years of reading that did that.

That person you’re replying to sounds like someone who thinks for themself.

Are you upset because their way of thinking isn’t your way of thinking?

Just a guy that reads and enjoys learning about political theory.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Do you listen to Jordan Peterson too?

He’s a professor and some might call an expert, too.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have. He’s a psychologist though. August H. Nimtz, Ph.D., is a professor of political science and African American and African studies in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.

He specializes in Marxism, political economy, politics of race, class & ethnicity, and African politics. So I trust he has more insight into politics. I don’t discount anyone’s opinions based on their political leanings. I’ll listen to Kim Jung-UN if you give me recommendations. I’ll admit I have trouble with Trump though, he lied too much.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

what do any of those specialties have to do with Trump or Biden?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Marxism and African politics?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Materialist philosophy informs politics. It matters even if you don’t agree with it.

That’s always a good idea. But our thinking is only as good as the information we are given. That’s why I like to get information from different sources and decide for myself.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Imagine, educating yourself and coming to the conclusion that posting this trash is beneficial in any way.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It’s a Facebook level trash meme that you figured was worth sharing.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It is from Reddit. I thought it was worth sharing. Why you gatekeeping?

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Looks like Twitter to me if you’re being pedantic.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t have twitter. I don’t have Facebook. I have Reddit, but I don’t use it, I lurk. I only post here for engagement to populate the communities. When there is sufficient engagement here, I’m out. These meaningless exchanges are of no use to me. I post my opinions. If you don’t like them, post yours.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

What the fuck do you think I’m doing?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is a comment, not a post.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I’m not posting my comments the right way for you?

Why are you gatekeeping?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I liked the new picture you posted in North Korea.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That’s a great picture, you have skill.

[-] SirStumps@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

John Money was a professor and owned his own practice but was found much later to have lied about his data. So being a professor doesn't really mean anything. Why do you as a person believe this other person?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Until Jesus comes back and tells us the truth, which isn’t happening anytime soon, experts appointed by the rigors of science is the closest socially we can get to an arbiter of truth. Individuals may fail us, but the framework still holds value.
