Gosh that one video by Innuendo Studios about how right wingers think that it's pointless to only stop some evil is so very accurate. "Everyone dies so why are we trying to stop these Covid Deaths?"

Yep!! I thought the same

An old facebook friend of mine just unironically posted a "blm is a marxist movement because it calls for ~equality of outcome~" video :thunk:



I decided the best course of action was to cite marx at him explaining that marx never called for equality of outcome :newlol:

I feel like the better response is "yeah I want equality of outcome, eat poo poo nerd"

"equality of outcome" is a strawman, and if you want to see a good roasting of that strawman in the form of "this is what liberals actually believe socialism is" read Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. Imo it's best just to avoid clinging to those words as "to each according to their needs" is far more realistic and desirable anyway.

Yeah, I'd like to know where this was ever expressed by Marx too.

If you really wanted to, you could let them sputter then quote "when our time comes, we will make no excuses for the terror" and ask them if that was also an equality of outcome.


Here's how it turned out - Apparently BLM protesting peacefully isn't real BLM also I should read Sowell

Yeah don't even bother engaging if you're going to just let them choose the field like that.

"equality of outcome" was never a Marxist ideal and accepting that as a premise just leads to the disingenuous bullshit you saw there. Same goes for any kind of Crowder-esque "HEY HEY COME DEBATE ME I PROMISE ITS GOOD FAITH" type poo poo.

And loving Sowell. Dude has such a specious understanding of philosophy and political science that he even gets loving federalist libertarians framing his analysis as a self-inserted caricature of Marx as an American Democratic party position. It's Dinesh D'Souza level facile argument.

edit: just say "equality of outcome is a liberal thing" and let them churn over that for a bit. Clarifying anything is only going to feed them grist for the mill, so just say nothing and then accuse them of being a liberal (they are) for wanting equality of outcome and having nothing to prove.

when i cited gotha critik for him he basically went into a circular logic of TEATTN = equality of outcome because marx said the upper stage of communism is about TEATTN which means equality of outcome, which was boring so I thought I could get something more interesting out of him by just moving on :shrug: oh well.

I actually started off the convo by telling him that liberte egualite fraternite is a liberal thing and he really didnt like me mentioning that because that was only for equality ~under the law~ :newlol:
