Lenin, Marx and Engels all were for organization of the working class, not for individual owners of property to provide bonuses for the workers. No a union is not enough, but its better than Markiplier. We still need to organize the class politically in the form of a mass party.
So no offense, but your comment about getting a tutor is so, so, so wrong headed. I didn't want to get into the real political difference between our positions, but please, in good faith, explain to me where ive gone wrong here or if there is some common themes and practical actions we can agree on
See my other comment. You didn't read what I said or try to understand it, you just latched on to an idea of something to fight against that you created unilaterally and then went for it while communicating in a snide and disrespectful tone for no reason. I simply provided an example of a different type of contract agreement and youve written walls of texts about unions, which I pointed out isn't really that useful for a bunch of workers who literally won't be accepted as IATSE members. You seem very spirited maybe turn that focus inward and investigate why you're doing so much for so little
I was never fighting you. I was sticking to a pro-union message because of the Obsession movie's anti-unionism. Sure I made some snarky comments, this is c/slop on Hexbear. I understand what you're saying better, now that I talked myself through it what your point was, but what connection the necessity for socialism has with Markiplier still eludes me. Engels and Lenin examples I quoted both show examples of the confusion that arise out of, from my perspective, the exact ways that you framed your argument. So maybe it isn't that my reading comprehension is low, but that your examples are confusing. In any case, I'm glad we were able to come to some understanding, comrade
I do plenty. This was nothing. Please disengage
Just FYI, you can't really call for a "disengage" while also giving out a last paragraph of text in the argument. It's to stop people using the disengage rule as a kind of "parting shot" where they get the last word in.
Sorry this person is being so hostile and obtuse here. No idea why this thread in particular has multiple people on our instance blowing up so much. I guess people get weird when an internet celebrity makes a movie.
Sorry I wasn't trying to abuse the disengage rule. I remember it from when I used to have a HB account, but its been a couple years. I legit didn't see the final line until a second read, at which point I asked for the disengage. I'll be more careful about it in the future. I was just really done with it, esp after reading the last little dig.
I know you weren't trying to abuse the rule, it's usually pretty obvious when someone tries to abuse the rule, sorry if I sounded a bit hostile or accusatory there.
No I appreciate it! I appreciate how important it is for HBs to maintain your community. Its imperfect sometimes, but its special. Thanks for chiming in, I was kinda put off by the other conversation. I know it is unusual behavior for HBs, but I think understandably, it got under my skin. Its nice to have a more friendly, relatable experience. Not hostile or accusatory at all!
Yeah, that's mainly why I'm reaching out, I don't really want to do the "not all of us are like this, I swear!" thing, but this article seems to have brought out the worst in a few people here, sometimes people get so convinced that someone else is wrong, that they stop actually listening to what they're saying and stop trying to explain things to them, instead just getting mad at them and accusing them of saying things they aren't trying to say at all.
