Like when I got really cheesed off at Centie when she said that people who are not of a religion don't need to respect that religion's rituals (she meant, "respect", as in, "perform or adhere to", not, "put consideration and careful thought towards").

I skipped an entire page and went from a discussion about communism vs. fascism vs. liberalism and someone saying something about an Uzi and dogs to this.
So my journey home on the train turned into "Story Time With Toolsie".
I was on my second train, and this woman with her kids got on at the same platform as me. One of her kids, a young lad, sat down next to me and complimented my drawing of a butterfly I did. Once I finished it, I gave it to him and he used it a bookmark for his book, "Fantastic Mr Fox". He then started reading it with me helping him with words, before he gave up and handed the book to me to read, which I did until my stop.

Yeah, I'm very well aware of the times people tried to instate communism, but Capitalism is a failure of a economic system and the teachings of Karl Marx (the actual teachings, as in, not "interpretations") check out.
Fascism is very closely related to Capitalism too.
Marx had a kind of bizarre, overly general view of how poor people think and feel and how labour works. He and Engels also showed nothing but contempt for the extremely impoverished, who make up a pretty large proportion of our population...
Literally just "read the manifesto"
Marx hated poverty, he hated the conditions of workers
Communism is about eliminating poverty by each providing according to their ability to each according to their need
let's see. "china" we get from persian, which got it from sanskrit, which got it from A God Damned Mystery. Qing however is straighforward Mandarin... eeeexcept that the dynasty was composed of Manchus, who spoke an entirely different language to begin with, and "qing" might have been related to a pun from Mongolian.
so... I have no fucking clue.
and of course, the modern transliteration system, pinyin, uses "ch" and "q" for similar but different phonemes, not that this is relevant to what we're talking about because the most likely theory for transliteration is that china derives from the name of the qin dynasty anyways
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Sredni *has* read the manifesto
Considering the thing I was responding too, I do find that hard to believe.
But you know what, these kinds of posts are why I dropped the conversation in first place.
If Srendi had confirmed or denied reading it, we could've talked about it,
If Srendi had read it and wanted to argue his conclusion, then we've could've talked about it. even if he didn't want to get an argument about it, or wanted to do it on PM, w/e.
If you wanted to talk about it as well, well, I wouldn't be adverse, but this kind of passive-aggressive response is highly unnecessary.
"just read the manifesto", with the built in assumption that if someone disagrees with your interpretation of a text they simply haven't read it, is astoundingly condescending. I have a hard time thinking of a more condescending response to someone.
That wasn't passive aggressive. I had numerous responses to the various things you said but one, didn't want to be rude, and two, didn't want to get super into a conversation that was out of my depth. So I just went for the thing you said that was the most obviously objectionable.
You're arguing in poor faith and going for cheap undermining tactics.
Yeah... that was condescending. Noted socialist-sympathizer and all-around decidedly not hard-line Democratic (i.e. has spoken of his precise political ideology in that direction before), alongside being very transparently broke, and someone happy to readily speak on this stuff, has read that I'm pretty sure. What Kex said wasn't even passive-aggressive as much as it was hinting towards what I mentioned (and I'd say giving him the benefit of the doubt or whatever). Not like telling someone to Just Go Read X is much of a conversation starter anyway.

I don't mind football but it isn't particularly scintillating to me unless I'm bored as hell
same.
I'd prefer the former to win, but I expect the latter to.
I enjoyed the jarring transition.
