How fucking stereotypical can you get? [His first post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4289605#post4289605), in the racism thread in GD. > [@](#): > > This is a non-sequitur, since imperialism is merely a stage of capitalism. > > The end of racism will only come with the end of capitalism. . . .If you hate racism and oppression, the only way out is through workers revolution. Then he accuses someone who is against Affirmative Action of [racism](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4289794#post4289794). > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sandino \* > \*\*At least you put “racism” in the title. However, a more descriptive title would be “a racist rant against affirmative action.” > > “theoretically compete”? “with their intellectual betters”!? “more able”!!?? JEESH! \*\* Those last quotes are taken out of context, of course. ---

Most of the people on SDMB who accuse others of racism are very narrow minded themselves. I can’t tell the width of his head, though. But, that applies only to the posters who accuse willy nilly. Sometimes, a very racist comment actually is made, and then the rest of the SDMB set them straight. So, my rule of thumb: If it’s one person accusing several of racism, skinny headed person. If it’s several people accusing one person, real world bias. YMMV ---

I think **Sandino** is posting in good faith, since he put a lot of work in a [recent thread on marxism](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=226232). If he just wanted to get a rise out of people, he wouldn’t put so much effort in it. Doesn’t mean of course that his opinions are right, only that he really believes in them. ---

Aren’t accusations of trolling verboten at SDMB? Not trying to jr. mod it, but maybe agiantdwarf is unaware? Or maybe I’m misinformed? ---

It appears you’re right: “Q: What should I do when I see a user “trolling” at the SDMB? A: Do not publicly accuse someone of trolling at the SDMB. Use the “Report this post to a moderator” facility below the “trolling” post. Do not reply to the troll in any way in the thread, that will only encourage the troublemaker.” Crap. Well, whether he’s a troll is not the main point of the post, so maybe a mod could edit the title to: “Stop posting, Sandrino”? ---

To the OP: Based on the context, I find it extremely amusing that you’d prefer to silence **Sandrino** rather than confronting his\* views. While his glasses are definitely rose-colored, the positions he offers seem to be cogent and respectful. Why don’t you try debating **Sandrino** instead of wishing he’d quit the SDMB? - his or her ---

Also, it’s **Sandino**. But yeah, he’s full of shit. However, as it is our mission to fight ignorance, he should NOT stop posting-we need to battle with his ignorance! ---

Ah, another one who posts in political threads without even letting us know what country he’s in. I don’t know why that bugs me so much, but it always does. ---

**elf6c** : It’s the One Trick Pony Chowder and Marching Society. No, nobody really knows what it means. But it’s an old phrase, and a phrase doesn’t have to mean anything, as long as it means something. ---

He reminds me of a 19 year old college kid who thinks he’s the first person in the world to discover Marxism. His first post, per the OP, was in response to my (somewhat tongue in cheek post) about Capitalsim and Imperialism. I’m afraid that even those who initially find him “cute” will tire of his dialectic dictats soon enough. For myself, I find it hard to call “cute” someone who sings the praises of the USSR. ---
