The battle of ideas was over 50 years ago, time to show up and recognize we are surrounded soldiers.

Respectfully Col, those are just reinforcements for the antifa foot soldiers. The deep state and command and control are deeply entrenched in every institution. They thought the "race riots" they started were going ignite marxist rage from coast to coast. It will be worse the next time. They were using encrypted communications to warn rioters where the police was, and where they were moving, pre-staged bricks and weapons in their planned riot zones and targeted minority areas to avoid their wealthy patrons. It's deep, it's covert and it's real.

Supreme Court- evil Conservative John Roberts, Right Wing Gorsuch write the opinions for socialist programs not introduced and passed in Congress no incorporated into law, every General and Secretary of Defense (except Michael Flynn) who turned against Trump, Ex- Speaker Paul Ryan, my congress wienie who sings out of the conservative song book every time he's home then votes with AOC, the Comey Clan at the FBI, Department of State, DOJ, every college and university, the primary education system (here's how you put a condom on a cucumber in case your molester asks you to), corporate America (JC Penny- hey I know lets advocate lesbian families and tell our customers if they don't like it they can go to hell- oops guess we'll go bankrupt) BLM, Facebook, Twitter, the media remaining deep state, (because you don't give a rat's ass anyway, you're a marxist).

Wtf are you talking about? Nowhere in your rambling post did you even a shred of sense. What drugs are you on? In your mind, ANYONE who disagrees with trump must by definition be a Marxist. You are completely disconnected from reality.

Yo dunderhead- comments aren't always posted in a logical order on this website, which makes it really really really really really hard for uneducated high school and college graduates like you. Your and idiot- no participation trophies in the real world, and we don't work in groups where someone else does the work and you get the grade. Kinda sucks, but they didn't want to hurt your feelings with the fact you are a functional illiterate in school, hurt your tender little feelings. Awwwww poor sweet baby,

Notice how I improperly used your (you're) and the word and (idiot) so as not to discriminate against your ignorance? You win!!!!

Again, what drugs are you on? You went on a tirade about Marxists infiltrating the US (demonstrably false), then strawmanned, yes strawmanned me, by claiming I was a Marxist without evidence. Then, you just rambled about participation trophies and illiteracy. I have no f**king clue what you're talking about. Basically your comments were composed of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, unrelated nonsense, and ad hominems. Coming from an ignorant boomer like you, frankly I'm not surprised.

Okay I confessed, I strawmanned him.

YES WE CAN!

Um...ok. My teachers and parents have nothing to do with what I believe in today.

Umm......as I before, they're social democrats. When did they ever favor the abolishment of capitalism? The Overton window in the U.S. has shifted so far to the right that milquetoast social democrats (international moderates btw) are derided as Marxists by people like you. He is strawmanning me. He first pretended that I'm a marxist (even though I'm a social democrat), then struck down that characterization of me by criticizing my supposed support for Marxism. If that's not a strawman, I don't know what is.

Everything you said was wrong. Everything.
1. The overton window was coined by Joseph P. Overton to describ the spectrum of acceptable discourse in a general population. There's nothing cynical about it like you imply. Also, George Orwell was already dead for 10 years before Overton was even born.

2. Are you seriously trying to convince me that the Overton Window in the US is to the left? Oh please. The only countries that ban abortion in the world are countries in Central America, South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Not exactly the most prosperous nations in the world. Also, how is LGBTQ people and out-of-wedlock births a) wrong, and b) socialist? Non sequiter if you ask me. And your thing about the media being controlled by democrats, trust me, they hate Bernie Sanders just as much, if not even more than they hate Trump. Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews are great examples. I genuinely believe Fox news is more fair to Bernie than CNN and MSNBC are. CNN and MSNBC are neoliberal outlets, not socialist ones.

3. On the contrary, I can provide plently of examples of how the Overton Window has undeniably shifted to the right in the US following the Red Scare. Our entire government is controlled by republicans or neoliberals, which ideologically are both right wing, we're the only developed country in the world not to guarantee healthcare or maternal leave, among othe things, and milquetoast moderate ideologies like social democracy are ridiculed as Marxism from people like you. If you're still not convinced, just search up the political compass for the 2020 presidential candidates. Almost everyone is on the right wing authoritarian side. Of course, it's not perfect, but it does paint a general picture of where the discourse is in the US.

4. Piggybacking from my previous point, do I really have to explain to you how social democracy and marxism are two completely different ideologies? Hint hint, one advocates for the abolishment of capitalism, the other does not.

Great comments Timber, but at my age I should really know better than to try to talk to someone who calls himself Bobbartthebuilderboi.

1. Whatever. When you wrote the sentence, I thought you included the Overton Window among other things that George Orwell "described." My bad.
2. I'm arguing from observable facts. You haven't disproved anything I said.
3. I just did some research into out of wedlock births, and yes, it causes many negative socioeconomic effects, so I was wrong there. Solutions to fix this would be to address poverty, because people tend to get married and have less babies when their economic situation is better, and to provide contraceptives. However, out of wedlock births still have nothing to do with socialism.
4. For the 123456789th time, I don't support socialism, so therefore your quote is meaningless.

To clarify my point, out of wedlock births in and of itself is not morally objectionable or wrong, but doing so increased the likelihood that statistically, the child will be subjected to negative socioeconomic ramifications.

No Marxists? It doesn't take drugs to understand and recognize the Marxist play book. Ever hear of the Cultural Revolution? Mao's Little Red Book? Of course not. Tear down statues, destroy history, you know---- Marxist stuff. So you thinks I'm chock full of strawmen? I'd give you a link, but you google it Communist Party USA, study it, there will be a test. Everyone knows about the Communist Goals of 1963 read into the Congressional Record, all bunk right? Read all 45 of them and then tell me about strawmen. No really please. If you aren't a Marxist, you need to know this stuff. Why do you need to know it? Well, first they destroy the not Marxists, then they destroy the Marxists who aren't pure enough, and when there is no longer dissent or debate to debunk their philosophy the rulers get richer and the peasants get to suck on rocks for nutrition.
If you are serious do some legwork instead of Okay boomer. How f-ing lame is that?
Demonstrably false? Prove it. And if you're hurt by ad hominems, try not throwing them out first expecting to be spared the same treatment. Ignorant boomer. Oh my that's sure conducive to productive dialog.
You have a chance now, prove you aren't a lame f-ing idiot moron retard useful dead in the mass grave idiot. Is that clear enough, and not ad homenim - directed specifically at you for the ignorance you clearly and boldly display here. This is an accusation based on the facts revealed in your ignorant comments. To the man.

1. I never said that Marxists never existed, just that there is none of them in the US government. Do you know what that is...a strawman. Name a single Marxist in the U.S. Government. I'll wait.
2. The communist party of America's size and strength are so small it's negligible
3. Of course I know what the cultural revolution is. My grandparents lived through it.
4. Tearing down statues that were erected during the Jim Crow era meant solely to intimidate blacks, not "preserve" history, is not inherently Marxist. It seems that you label anything or anyone who disagrees with you a Marxist. Interesting.
5. I'm not a Marxist, because I don't agree with Marxism. It's as simple as that. But keep on strawmanning me.
6. Are you seriously telling me that I should "do my legwork", considering your comment I responded to consisted entirely of an ad hominem, meaning there was no way to substantively address it? Give me f**king break.
7. I'm not hurt by ad hominems, I'm simply expressing that they "are not conducive to productive dialog(ue)," to put it in your own words.
8. "Prove that you aren't a lame f**king idiot moron retard useful dead in the mass grave idiot." It sounds like you took a bunch of bad words you found in the dictionary, put them all in a hat, pulled a couple of the out, and then stringed together a pathetic ad hominem, which in your own words, "is not conducive to productive dialogue." And yes, that is an ad hominem, based on your fee-fees.
9. So yeah, basically everything you said was either wrong, or an ad hominem. I wonder how it feels to be so consistently incorrect and so pretentiously arrogant for so long.

1. Bernie Sanders, AOC, James Comey (said he was a communist), John Brennan, James Clapper, Obama
2. Not insignificant when you read their doctrine and see the names of people who have infiltrated.
3. Oh you're of Chinese heritage?
4. The classic Marxist tactic is to destroy all cultural and historic ties, that way there is nothing to go back to. Alan West said recently "History is not something you like or dislike, it's something you learn from."
5. If you don't agree with Marxism, why do yo fight so vigorously for what Marxism stands for?
6. Nothing with ad hominem, prove there is no Marxist ideology stirring the pot. BLM? Antifa? AOC? Bernie?
7. You probably aren't hurt by them, but you use them as a weapon
8. No, like this meme there is a clear structure to what I said. Notice the meme? Smiling soldier? Calm? Stating a fact that is pretty uncomfortable to face. No screaming, no yelling, just saying things smell bad. Each smear I applied to you had a specific and intentional purpose.
9. Again, I say prove it. Check in with those people in CHAZ or CHOP or whatever they call themselves. Try talking to someone who has come out of a socialist disaster. Then let's compare notes on who is consistently incorrect and so pretentiously arrogant. I can translate Spanish for you if you find someone from Venezuela, or Nicaragua or Cuba.

1. Bernie Sanders and AOC are social democrats. Nice try. I don’t even know where you got James comey and clapped to be a communist. James Brennan voted for a communist candidate, but that itself does not prove that he is a communist. Obama is a right wing neoliberal.
2. The communist party is insignificant. They haven’t infiltrated jackshit, and their doctrine alone does not make them dangerous. You’re exaggerating their power.
3. Yes.
4. No one is learning history from confederate statues. No one. It’s not like monday all the statues are gone and Tuesday everyone forgets who Robert e lee is.They were erected, as I said again, during the Jim Crow era by ex confederates to glorify confederate leaders and to intimidate the blacks, not to remember history. Lee himself didn’t want statues in his honor. What I would strongly support is to move them all to private museums where they actually can be used to preserve history, not to glorify it.
5. I never fought for anything that Marxism stands for. Again, you’re strawmanning me.
6. BLM is not inherently Marxist. AOC and Bernie are social democrats. Antifa is a fringe organization, which poses ZERO threat to you and me. Again, I’m not denying marxists in America don’t exist, just that they are not in the US government. Extraordinary claims REQUIRE extraordinary evidence.
7. Straw man.
8. No, you posted an unfounded conspiracy, and then when I posted the laughing meme, you went on an unhinged rant. That’s when you started and continued to ad hominem me.
9. CHAZ is so insignificant I have no idea why conservatives are whining about it. Again, you’re strawmanning me by saying I’m a socialist. You’re literally bombarding me with ad hominems, inaccurate statements, and then condescendingly smearing me by saying I’m a Marxist with no evidence. That’s pretentiously arrogant.

My my my aren't we a little testy for someone who isn't a Marxist. Sure defensive of all the people that are honest about their political leanings. Psst a little secret, just between you and me, social democrat has nothing to do with garden parties, okay?
Now be honest, you've never read the 45 communist goals, have you?
Read that and then tell me what you learn. In the meantime I think you're a little Marxist in waiting. Read the 45 goals, it doesn't take long, and then come back and tell me how I'm wrong. If you do that, I'll stop calling you a little bit socialist. Deal?

NO, I opened that link to see if you would actually look at the meme and have a sense of humor, which you don't. And you don't have very many operating brain cells either. Love and kisses straw boi.

BuT iT wAs JuST a JoKe!

Because I didn't read the goals of a fringe political party that I don't agree with, therefore I agree with that party's beliefs (which again for the 123132413452th time I said I don't agree with). What this seems like here is that you are incapable of responding to my points so you have to keep regurgitating the same debunked strawman over and over again.

Ok straw boi, you don't agree with Marxism, but you insist it doesn't exist, I give you some direction to see that it indeed does, and that they have infiltrated, just as they have planned for decades, that it's time for all preppers out there to think about whether they are prepared to face the full consequences for their armed protection if they have to resort to that (most are not) because battle lines are being drawn. How many cities did BLM and antifa burn recently?
You deny every answer I give you, I tell you socialism and communism are the same thing and show you the link with a screenshot that you don't care to read, you are utterly oblivious, ignorant and worst of all arrogant about your stupidity on the matter, and you wet your pants because you know how to spell strawman. You are perfectly content to argue with me for days and not to check anything anyone here has said against your sincerely held ignorant beliefs.
Good luck. I'm sure the Marxist revolution will gladly bypass your blissful life. If you close your eyes, they can't see you.

1. Strawmanning seven is reaching record levels with the amount of strawman being produced! Notice how I EXPLICITLY said in one of my comments that I never believed Marxists don't exist in the U.S. , just that no one in government is a Marxist. But sure, ignore everything I actually said and just strawman me, because that's all you know what to do.

2. Antifa is statistically insignificant. If you seriously believe that antifa is some dangerous, imminent threat to this country, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. The vast majority of the protests are peaceful, and the ones that have rioting were mainly perpetrated by opportunistic thugs capitalizing on the social unrest in the country. it makes them evil criminals, not Marxists.

3. Every "answer" you gave me was either a strawman, an ad hominem, or factually incorrect.

4. Again, I don't need to respond to your screenshot, because it's a strawman.

5. Since you are incapable of characterizing my argument fairly, I will continue to call out when you are strawmanning me. If that triggers your fee-fees, tough luck.

6. You're the one levying arrogant straw mans and ad hominem so...

7. Everything you said was invalid or wrong.

Will you start fresh- all your petty rage can't be responded to because you go so deep in the thread that I can't reply, I can only flag you. Which would be a lot of fun, but disrupts my study into just how poorly informed one human being can be and yet feel like they are the only one who knows everything. You are the king.

Or it's just that you can't respond to any of my points because you know you're wrong.

Ok boi wunder. Since you are the all knowing one and the absolute authority, communism has nothing to do with socialism. Oh! Wait! What's this?????

And if you close your eyes and jamb your fingers in your ears up to your knuckles and sing LALALALALALALAL really loud, no one can touch you.

also: is this the first time you've ever taken a screenshot before?

Strawmanning seven you just don't know when to quit huh? I would like you to find in any one of my comments the exact sentence where I said "communism has nothing to do with socialism." I know you can't, because you're full of it and you're a strawman creating machine fundamentally incapable of responding to my actual arguments.

You did it again genius. I can't respond to your point because you just posted the 987 comment in the thread and the only option I have it to flag you- NOT REPLY to you. You want me to flag your idiocy?

You know this strawman accusation is really wearing thin, you repeat it so often that it becomes apparent you only have a 3 word vocabulary. Straw man bad! Try this one for a while until you wear it out- elephant in the room. You can have a lot of fun with that one!

Do I really need to explain to you how a strawman works and why you're so prolific at it? It's when you refute an argument that your opponent does not have, which is EXACTLY what you're doing, multiple times. In your asinine screen shot argument, you claimed that I believed "communism has nothing to do with socialism."

Problem is, I NEVER SAID THAT. Then, you proceeded to refute that argument by providing a screenshot showing that communism indeed has something to do with socialism. However I never made that argument, so you refuted a strawman argument, thus committing the eponymous fallacy. Your whole response to my argument boils down to, "YoUr'E aCcUsInG mE oF sTraWmAnNiNg ToO mUcH without actually proving why my accusations are invalid, because you know you're incorrect. So yeah, add that to your ever expanding list of wrong statements you have made.

Oh, now I finally see, you mean substance like this--
"Yes, the communist party if the USA is insignificant."

No, you don't really have to try to explain anything. You said the communist party is insignificant. You said socialism and communism are not the same. You've stated some of the most idiotic defenses of leftist/Marxist concepts and you are too mind numbed to see it. You are so indoctrinated you can't even read proof that destroys your ignorant position, let alone understand it. I know you only have 3 brain cells, maybe if you try tin manning slurs.

1. Yes, the communist party if the USA is insignificant.

2. I never said socialism and communism are not the same. Strawman away.

3. You're not actually responding substantively to anything I said.

You wouldn't know substantive if it hit you in the face. I'd say yes you did, go back and read your comments, but I know you don't really care about truth. Classic leftist/Marxist attitude.
Hey thanks for racking up so many points for me with all your vapid comments, I'm going to hit 350,000 a lot sooner than I thought.

Once again, substance is lacking. You’re welcome btw.

Hey, I've been meaning to ask someone with your qualifications, how does it feel to be stupider than a 4 year old who hasn't been corrupted by the public education system? Cause I have 2 four year old grandsons who look like Albert Einstein compared to you.

Ok boomer.

Ow you hurt your moron feelings. Bigot.

No, I'm just cringing at your lack of critical thinking.

Prove it.

Your entire unhinged rant.

That's proof? Please tell me you aren't building any multistory buildings boi.

You are the perfect example of a right wing, conspiratorial, irate snowflake.

Of course I am , You forgot racist and homophobe. Do I have to do everything for you?

Strawmanning seven at it again with the brain dead takes!

This from the king of strawmen makers. Oh such a plaintive and pitiable maker are you. You know your condition is treatable right?

You strawmanned me twice by saying that 1: I'm a Marxist and 2: Im the type of person who would call anyone I disagree with a racist and a homophobe.

No really , your condition is treatable, seek professional help.

Hey look one I can reply to. You were supposed to use elephant in the room for your next cliche. Triggered is so vapid and insipid, not near original thought. And you forgo bigot racist homophobe misogynist, hater, nazi right winger.
No I'm not triggered, and I didn't use a cartoon character for 2-4 year olds as my user name either. If only you asked someone with some maturity if you should use it as a user name, you wouldn't be mocked for you infantile and completely naive comments. At least you are trying.
