And hey bitch approve my journal entry or I'll send you nudes.

Sounds like they wouldn't have time for math.

And it looks good, I approve.

Are you complimenting my drunken political ramblings that I put together in my head over several hours at work?

**Frownland** · 09-09-2018, 02:38 PM

Mmhmm.

Is my comment about Batlord's rant being a facsimile of my rant about Elph gonna get posted?

The Batlord · 09-09-2018, 04:35 PM

wut

Edit: Wait you mean my journal entry? Cause I can totally understand that. Elph is exactly the kind of self-righteous anti-poor person I'm talking about.

^ I thought this was a pretty interesting question but, before anything like investigation, I was distracted by a video clip. And this one is particularly humbling: how quickly can you read, remember, and put in order the nos 1 to 9?

^ I don't think I could ever do this without a pause button, pen and paper.

It's exactly the same rant I went on at Elph just replace KMK with ICP cause I told him that ICP's marxist stance on CoC are what he pretends to be so it's kind of ironic that he tries to act so much more superior than them. Also said that it's why the working class typically votes Republican, because they actually show respect or appreciation towards the working class while typically the left tries to act holier than though.

Yeah definitely. I actually had that post in mind when I made my entry. I love elph and all but he's a phony socialist who's in it for the punk cred. I'd say the same as you about ICP but honestly I'm not even sure about their socialism. I know that their social stance is absolutely in line with socialism but I just don't know if they've considered their stance enough to qualify as socialist. They might just care about being poor in Detroit and haven't bothered to make it a specific political stance.

I don't think they're educated enough to really have an idea of what they are but Carnival of Carnage is definitely in line with Marxist theory. They do a lot of charity work though, and have taken a very strong anti-Trump stance. I think it's fair to say that they are at least moderately socialist.

Yeah I would agree. Carnival of Carnage would be a socialist record if I thought they even knew what socialism was. For all I said in my journal entry I have no illusions about ICP's knowledge of any kind of politics let alone socialism. At least Kottonmouth Kings have an association with punk that informs their political beliefs, otherwise I'd be dubious of them as well.

This is why the college *******s need to start reaching out. There are so many downtrodden people who'd be open to socialism if they just knew what the **** it was. But ICP's sheer vehemence about their social (not political) stance is clearly a gateway for them to socialism and many of their fans would be likewise open to it if the gatekeepers to socialism would get the **** off their high horses and just tried to connect with them in an honest way.

Back before WW2 during the Great Depression socialism was a real force in American politics so the poor are very much about it even if they don't know it or reject it. They just need it put to them in a way that doesn't feel like condescending intellectual elites treating them like children. The only thing standing in the way is not just that they feel a lack of respect but that they are legitimately being disrespected and they're not so dumb that they can't sense it.
