Where do you feel better, busting lefty butts in mainstream forums or here on Mises with fellow comrades?
I used to post on other forums a bit but explaining same old basic economic fallacies gets old lol. Lot more academic value in discussions here.
places like revleft make me throw up in my own mouth a little bit. I can breathe easy reading mises forum.
You know, I was about to start a post similar to this. I feel it’s more interesting to debate on sites where you are pretty much a loner in your beliefs. A site like mises, is kind of boring because nearly everyone shares the same point of view. You ought to go to places like commondreams.org. Now that’s a fun place to debate.
I use to thin this way, but it really gets tiring. People can get very stupidly emotional (as oposed to rightly emotional) and start talking bullshit. It gets tiring after a while.
Facebook is better for variety in a debate, due to the networking aspect.
If you’re feeling bold, it also exposes your views & arguments to people you probably do not argue with on a daily basis out of kindness and/or keeping the peace of relationships (i.e. best friends & family).
I prefer anywhere without mods or where the mods have a light touch, like here.
I’m very, very tired of arguing with people about very simple things.
I prefer the company of fellow comrades.
If anyone is interested in running (or even not) check out letsrun.com’s forum. Most of the stuff on there is not related to running. There is no registration, but moderators do pull threads that are overly offensive.
I’d love there to be some more libertarians on there, it’s full of statists, mostly leftys.
Here’s a comment I picked up from Commondreams:
"The US is a predatory Capitalist warfare state.
The US is Communism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor…"
On rare occasion I post on digg or topix. It’s deadly. I hate it. It pisses me off too much. I can’t stand the tortured animal threads. When people advocate the torture and killing of humans. It pisses me off. Then I argue with them about the barbarism of spaying or neutering animals, an invasive operation, just because people can’t secure their animals, and want to forcibly alter their basic instincts because it is inconvienent for them. They can’t comprehend it. . /rant
I like busting butts, but I do that here.
