    Political Compass Thread

    Damn, I used to be almost exactly where Daemoniac is, but I guess I've been swayed a tinsy bit by ancaps or something. lmfao Putting my 8values results in here is being weird, but I attached it and I'm at libertarian socialism. <3

    The ultrawealthy (Bezos cashes out on Amazon shares)

    Under a tankie system, workers are 100% exploited and I've been pretty clear in that in my takes. Not all forms of socialism are equal, and it rustles my jimmies when people can't approach it with nuance. A crass, but apt rhetorical/hypothetical at how workers under a capitalist system I've...

    Oh I'm very familiar with it. And yes, it's a problem that people tend to struggle with. But if you can't get people to move towards very small steps like strengthening collective bargaining, then there's just no way in hell you'll ever get them onboard with actual socialist ideas. I feel like...

    @Drew Well my ultimate aim is the total abolition of all hierarchies, and this includes the removal of the bourgeoisie class. But that's more of a "way down the line, probably after I'm long dead" goal, so in the meantime I'm willing to start by moving policy more left and doing what I can to...

    What game are you playing?

    Well you wanna get the guns that work best with your class/build idea. I'm running elemental dot Siren, so I prioritize smgs with various elements. And since it's raining legendaries, it's nowhere near as hard to keep the best guns on you at all time. I'm on TVHM at the moment and the legendary...

    What game are you playing?

    Yeah, I agree with most of that. There's a fair bit of "this feels really forced and like queer-baiting to me". I mean, Wainwright Jakobs and Hammerlock being a thing made sense to me and you could see it in their interactions with each other that they lightly bicker like an already married...

    What game are you playing?

    Also, right now they're having an increased loot rarity drop event going on and it's raining legendary guns. I'll have all my SDUs purchased and have my siren pimped out at this point. It's also worth mentioning (without spoilers) that the events in the main story surrounding Lilith, Tannis...

    What game are you playing?

    I actually just got this as a bday gift to myself and I like the more progressive elements in it. If you played the Hammerlock DLC in BL2, you find out that he's gay/bi there, so they're just building on that here. And it was pretty well established in 2 that Moxxi and Ellie are bi and Tiny Tina...

    Mostly related to the topic via the worship of meritocracy, youtuber Vaush does a damn good takedown of it via shitting on Tim Poole (alt-right dude that lies and claims to be a lefty) and Tim's claim that because he's a millionaire, anyone can be. Worth listening to:

    I think you're really missing out on a lot of what's being said if you think that's the ONLY thing people want. There's a hell of a lot more that can be done and anyone with an IQ higher than freezer temperature can recognize that. The point is that there are places like raising the tax rate on...

    Also, sry for the double post, but I did want you to see this. I went back and read your response on the first page. Mad props for your proposed solutions because I 100% back those. Thanks to a lot of passed legislation around the FDR days we had laws that did a lot of that and for decades we...

    It comes from the old protestant "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" work ethic. Said mentality absolutely crumbles when you see a single mom holding two or more jobs while trying to raise the kids and juggling god knows what else at the same time. People like that have run out of bootstraps...

    The ultrawealthy (Bezos cashes out on Amazon shares)

    I find people that act like temporarily-embarrassed billionaires to be the most amusing thing ever to witness. Tbf, it's definitely been a US pastime for decades, if not centuries. People will defend the ultra-wealthy because they think that their big billion dollar check is coming in the mail...

    The ultrawealthy (Bezos cashes out on Amazon shares)

    That's a pretty harsh criticism of people. Just curious, do you like the trickle down economics approach by any chance? Because from where my perspective is, a bottom up approach would do more to benefit both the working class and by proxy, corporations due to people being able to buy random...
