Unlike others, Singham actually did give away significant parts of his fortune. He gave it to leftist causes — and that’s why he, as well as his life partner Jodie Evans, a founder of Code Pink and a leading political activist, were targeted.

Fuck you entirely.

You want to devolve to racial slurs and insults because I don't accept China as an ideal form of governance? Because of that you ASSUME that I'm somehow pro-America and all of the bullshit that's going on here? That my criticism of China is somehow acceptance of the fucked up shit here in America? Assholes like you are why we never get anywhere in this country. You want to draw a line in the fucking sand and say that everyone that doesn't support your extreme viewpoint is somehow an enemy, no ifs ands, or buts and refuse to even talk. You came out of the gate throwing punches, why would anyone want to remotely attempt to see your viewpoint? Don't you see the irony in that?

You want to call me out on "bRiNgInG eViDeNcE" even though not once did you do the same. I merely came to discuss the article, not be attacked by a racist fool.

Shut up, colonialist

[–] Alteon -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is ridiculous. Social Democracy is not remotely colonialist. Just because I don't want a political paradigm shift in my country (anarchy) vs a gradual change (stability) doesn't mean I'm colonialist in the slightest.

That'd be like me saying that anyone that doesn't agree with me is an authoritarian-loving conservative. You leave no room to have a good faith argument about literally any political ideology.

Socialdemocrats want a larger share of the juicy imperial slavery loot. They're benefactors of colonialism.

[–] Alteon 0 points 1 year ago

No, you label them as colonialists because they are socialist-lite. They aren't socialist enough for you because they want to retain their standards of living whilst simultaneously making changes for the better. But that's not good enough for you. You want a paradigm shift in ideology, but are too stupid to realize the dangers of it.

Call me colonialist all you want. The insults of a fool are entirely harmless and void of merit.

What racial slurs are you referring to?
