Finally a reasonable Bernie take on this site. Hallelujah!

When one side is throwing explosives at the other side, and the other side is firing back, yes that is a “clash”. Don’t want to get shot? Don’t violently engage with the people with guns.

Israel is the only functional democracy in the Middle East, as 1.6 million Palestinian citizens, and has created a better quality of life for its residents than any other place in that miserable region.

You beat me to it. I don’t think “arguably” means what they think it means. I don’t like Trump as much as the next Liberal. And I could certainly afford to lose 20 lbs. But if a country has mass starvation problems, especially one with their oil reserves, things have gone well off the rails.

Israel: Don’t try to cross the border, we’ll shoot you.

“Arguably”? Hey I know this site is a big socialist circle jerk but maybe at least be honest about the abject failure Venezuela has been.

Jesus Christ, this is not “racist”. The first line of his response, which you conveniently did not bold, states very clearly he does not think illegal immigrants are bad people. He actually repeats this sentiment again a couple sentences later, and you obviously left it unbolded the second time as well.

Because it’s way easier to group everyone into two camps; those who you idolize/are innocent victims and those who are alt-right Nazis. Anything else, and you’re not getting the clicks.

So as a journalist on Deadspin, your background in and understanding of, psychology is based on what exactly?

This sounds suspiciously like a cut and paste opinion that a Arts student would get from the Guardian.

This is some crybaby stuff right here. He says somethin you don’t like so lets shut him down and not even try to discuss what he says. This man is much smarter then you and speaks on topics on a deeper level. If you seriously find offence to what he says it’s really because your an idiot and don’t know how to…

(a) On Deadspin being to the right of Mao basically makes you an alt-right sympathizer, regardless of the actual details of your views. I’m exaggerating of course, but it’s not that far off from the truth.
(b) Even if the above weren’t true, I’m sure most of the Deadspin staff have a huuuuuuuuuge problem with…

What’s your issue with Jordan Peterson? I’m genuinely curious. Most of his viewpoints seem to be in line with classical liberalism.

“This manages to pull off the double whammy of racism and misogyny while employing a weirdly outdated stereotype about Latino men as sex objects.”

Racist!

You’re right. A socialist would’ve demanded to know what I do and asked that I fork over 60% of my salary, taken away my employer provided insurance, and demand I sit 6 hours in a waiting room to see a radiologist who graduated from a community college.

You have no idea what I do, and I don’t pretend to know what you do. What I do know is that socialism has taken an unprecedented number of L’s in recent history and will continue to do so.

Well this place is about to go bankrupt from pandering to people like you so good luck with that. Clearly socialism doesn’t sell as much as you people think it does.

Money and power are inextricably intertwined. Always have been, always will be. In the absence of money, currency or any item of intense desire fills the void. The king of the cavemen, at least until knowledge spread, was Grog the Fire Haver. Fire = gold doubloons = money.

Dems should stand for poor people.

Democrats: We need money.
