why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

but i can get why some poors fancy themselves libertarians -- they're sort of the same species as the low-level grunts who idolize Ayn Rand and fancy themselves (future) John Galts.

one thing we can definitively say re libertarian demographics is they are all white guys

and they're self-aware enough that coming right out & declaring themselves Republicans (which is what they REALLY are) is a bit declassé.

tbf my libertarian facebook guy has some p left social views thrown in there for good measure totally pro lgbt rights anti war etc

I shared this on ilx somewhere but my libertarian fb guy was teaching english in korea, broke his leg, got it fixed by their universal health care, wrote a long fb post about how angry he was that the doctor didn't speak better english, and how even tho he woulda been uninsured in america, the health care he woulda received woulda been better

they were def infringing on his liberty --ben franklin

also this guy, to the best of my knowledge, has only dated
a. asian girls he meets teaching esl abroad
b. asian girls he meets teaching esl in california

wrote a long fb post about how angry he was that the doctor didn't speak better english

wait a minute ... dude goes to a doctor in a foreign country (whose native language is not even CLOSELY related to English), and kvetches about the quality of the foreign doctor's English?!? WTF

even tho he woulda been uninsured in america, the health care he woulda received woulda been better

When he gets back, you should break his leg again, so he gets a chance to have the thing done right.

haha I wish i weren't on an ipad I went to his profile and he has a very thread-worthy jpg that is a quote from this book:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Ominous-Parallels-Brilliant-pre-Hitler/dp/0452011175

the subtitle of that book is literally 'a brilliant study of america today'

it was written in 1983!

If one were to compile a list of the most fanatically anti-reason philosophers since the Renaissance, almost every top figure--Kant, Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, Heidegger--would turn out to be German. This is not to say that German culture produced evil philosophers. Just the reverse: Germany's evil philosophers produced an evil culture.

the government controls food?

the quote is matched w/ this creepy pic:

I guess ilx does not do 'tiff'

even if the lot of them (w/ the exception of Hegel and Marx) had little in common w/ each other besides the fact that they were Germans ...

kant controls food, he told me i KANT have any more ice cream, what a dick

and of the German philosophers named, only one -- Heidegger -- had any real link to Nazism, and that was more as a fellow traveler/sycophant than Evil Puppetmaster who spawned Nazism.

eisbaer you are arguing w/ an amazon review of an objectivist book

man u cant even see the pattern of evil germnism, its sad they really have u brainwashed

if i ever write a book im def subtitling it 'a brilliant study of america today'

haha it's a pretty good strategy, making the book itself a positive review of the book

I think it should be taken further and at least constitute the first few chapters too

*picks book up, examines cover* hmm this looks pretty brilliant

While I do not agree with all that is in this book, I thought it a most important book
dealing with a subject that has shaken the soul of mankind. Certainly it has shaken
mine to the core and I've shed many tears over it. I felt Dr. Peikoff most qualified
to author such a book given his impeccable credentials. He has to be strong to survive
the merciless criticism that has been aimed at him. I feel one should disagree with
his ideas, not try to, frankly, destroy his image in people's minds.

I thought the heart of the book was a paragraph on page 160 beginning "This is how
philosophy shapes...". I thought the most powerful lines were on pages 227-228.
I was shocked by the power and beauty of the passages. I couldn't help thinking, what a
poet he would make. I would recommend this book to the thoughtful reader concerned with
the state of the world today.

I don't read Facebook for heavy political ideology, I don't think music choices should be some difficult, conscious political statement. Anyway, I'm on Facebook to trade jokes with high school friends and family. Some don't give a rat's ass about independent music!

Man I feel like my dominant paradigm just got subverted
