woolfe9998: For one who is supposed to be enlightened in some way, you're awfully full of yourself and your so-called powers of prognostication.
M: Well maybe we should look into what that might really mean. I really do not go around saying I am enlightened. I do say I experienced something that was for me quite meaningful and which amounted to the following which I see has having some relevance here. I used to believe a bunch of things and those things gave meaning and value to my live. In seeking to prove their reality I completely failed, failed so badly in fact that I lost my belief in all of them. Having nothing in which I believed, I realized I know nothing because the things you believe in are the things that you know or as others do, assume that they do. So in this I am different than what I see in people who say they believe things. But there is something somewhat confusing in all of this because while I am very sure I know nothing it seems that all this knowing that I don't know amounts to the fact that I know that one thing. So I don't really know to do with I don't know and I know that I don't. So I don't know if I'm full of my self or empty or being empty makes me full, etc. But I do know there are some things you just know with most of them being that you (I) don't know.
Now. I have had one consistent message for several years I would think, the democracy in America is dead. We are owned and operated by the rich to benefit themselves and unless we get money out of politics that fact can't be undone. Was it Sanders or Clinton who harped on that message, raged on and on about it. Who called for a revolution against the establishment, Sanders or Clinton. This is the only message that matters. Nothing that Clinton ran on matters next to this. The country is seething with rage and importance because the rich pull all of the strings. We the people are powerless and castrated. Only a real return to the people of real power will change this. If you are not aware of this as goal 1 your life is meaningless. Everything is a joke. We are lost, hopeless, inept, irrelevant and dead in the water. Wake the fuck up. But then being enlightened and all, what do I really care.
w: Nah, I don't believe your claim to have opposed Clinton only on grounds of messaging. Your posting history strongly suggests otherwise. The reasons you dumped on Clinton, AFAIK, was that you said she was corrupt and in bed with Wall Street. Same things that people on the right said about Clinton. Maybe you also criticized her message, but I definitely recall that it was much more than that. Heck, if that's all it was, an issue of messaging and not of substance, no chance you would have said you were
seriously considering voting for Trump both during the primaries and during the general election.
w: You don't believe, thanks for that kindness. Do you understand that for me democracy is dead. I don't live in a free country any more. Both parties are owned and operated by the rich and those who suck their dicks? You are living in a catastrophically failed state. To vote for Trump in the hopes he brings the house down is a positive outcome. Democrats are brain dead.
Furthermore,
you repeatedly praised Donald Trump on this board. Example:
M: What wqs quoted was this: "Another of the things I think I see is that Trump is perfect for America. He is a master intuit as to what Americans feel. He has similar insights to me. What I am not so sure about is whether he is a Sith Loard or an ego so sated it transcended. Interesting times."
Do you see what I said. He intuitively speaks to what people are feeling, he sees what people are feeling just as I do, that they are enraged as I described above. And I also implied by Sith Lord my suspicion that for him, unlike Sanders, it's not principle by cunning manipulation, something I had not come to a sure view of at that time but which you can see by my words that I clearly anticipated.
w: So whatever your claimed power to predict winners, you were delusional about the relative merits of these candidates, as was any liberal who convinced themselves that Clinton was no better than Trump, or that the two were even close.
M: Oh dear. I was not delusional about the merits of Sanders. He was the only one that was a sure bet, ready willing and able and intending to call for the only political thing that matters, a revolution against money in politics. In order for that to happen the sleeping democratic establishment needed and still needs to go. Remember, you are completely fucked even if you don't know it. You will get crumbs and slop till you're fat enough to slaughter. Wake the fuck up. Or don't. I know the comfort of clinging to beliefs.
M: I'm curious what issues you think a Trump presidency would better serve than a Clinton Presidency. Climate change? Financial regulation? Women's reproductive rights? Immigration? Which one? There must have been something in there for you to consider it a close call between the two. Or did you finally figure out that this vile man was a "sith lord?" If so, what made up your mind? Seems like you were awfully slow on the uptake about Trump's merits as a candidate and as a human being.
What you call slow on the uptake was my attempt to tell you brain dead Clinton supporters that your moronic focus on the Stupidity, irrational, and lying scumbag that Trump is would cost you the election. That's not a message. That's brain defective liberal thinking, arrogance, moral blindness to what most people feel. He won the primary just as I knew he would because he cleaned every other Republican's clock with his message that I am as angry and sick of all these establishment assholes as you are. So what does the DNC do, favor the establishment candidate of course. And you call me slow on the uptake. At least my bucket has a big hole in it and all the shit you guys pore in it pours right out on the ground.
Oh, and Clinton lost. And that means that Trump won. Keep that in mind if I sound a bit bitter.
