… who fled the SDMB when it was pointed out his poster boys for Libertarianism received the benefit of $70,000 of R&D effort performed by the very government he wants less of in our lives. Instead of using that “a-ha” moment to reflect upon what he thought, he used it as an excuse to flee to a safer space.
That’s a joke, you know. The idea is that the Socred leader who’s speaking gets so caught up in their rhetoric that they don’t realize what happens when you “step forward” from the edge of a precipice. That’s actually a free translation by me, since the way I heard it was in French:
Maybe my translation isn’t quite accurate enough.
I don’t know if it was actually said by some Socred leader (if so, it would probably be either Réal Caouette or Camil Samson). I assume they didn’t and it was probably made up to mock them, but who knows. I consider myself to be on the centre-left of the political spectrum and support social democratic policies, but I do disagree with identity politics on the left and it’s possible that I’ve become more conservative with age.
I thought it was funny, but I think you’d have to be Canadian (or familiar with Canadian politics) to know about the Social Credit Party of Canada and hence get it.
I didn’t think so, but there’s a 30 minute gap between my post and Asahi’s, so it wasn’t like we simulposted. I just assumed he was speaking to me, but you could be correct.
No, seriously, anyone who will snip that quote like that has no fucking place in a forum dedicated to fighting ignorance, other than as an example of said ignorance. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
You think idiot assholes like you are an attraction for the board? You’re the kind of dumbshit that drives off other posters. So yes, if you left the board would be a more attractive place. That’s what I mean by addition by subtraction.
You are more of plague on this board than I. You represent the moderation yet you come across as a senile and dishonest fool. Who’s more than borderline creepy with the stalkerish vibe you give as you go thread to thread harassing people.
You people were a vile and nasty bunch FAR earlier than I ever arrived. This board has been around since at least 1999? Hmm we can go through decades of Pit posts and show how you folks treat people.
Yet you persist in blaming someone who has the backbone to refute your lies as the aggressor. You really are a waste of DNA.
My my, you really are having a meltdown today, aren’t you?
As I’ve said before, stalking you in the Pit would be like stalking a cockroach. You’re so obsessed by the Pit (that you claim to despise) that it’s hard to avoid coming across one of your posts here.
That’s actually a free translation by me, since the way I heard it was in French:
