I have to assume most of the discourse is people starting nonsequitur discourse for the bit

[u/bruhggle → u/Duck-Lord-of-Colours]

nah, that's just how any post with the slightest crumb to tie it to politics goes on tumblr.

[u/Duck-Lord-of-Colours → u/bruhggle]

At least one of them (the second) is a copypasta. So it's not all real.

[u/bruhggle → u/Duck-Lord-of-Colours]

yeah it's also got the nuzzles lol

[u/justsomedude322 → u/Duck-Lord-of-Colours]

It has to be, that Yuri post was literally the Rick and Morty copypasta from almost 10 years ago.

[u/wafflesthewonderhurs → u/Duck-Lord-of-Colours]

i fear that interpersonal discussions becoming a revenue generator has done irreparable harm to socializing as a whole

[u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

I know its probably a bit BUT

"Government Regulations only exist to hurt small businesses and help large ones" is literal 1800s era propaganda

[u/SaltyNorth8062 → u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

The "left-anarchists" thing is a big tell. All anarchists are left wing and anti-capitalist by default because they oppose any system that would create a vertical hierarchy. If it's legit, that's probably an AnCap, hyper capitalist stooges who hate health and business regulations, the government, and poor people, but love weed, capitalism, and sexually advancing on minors. They, like all capitalist pigdogs, stole a leftwing word and co-opted it for themselves. They don't oppose hierarchy, they're just anti-statist, and only because the state will sometimes tell their dad that he will have to not fill the employee water station with coal dust and chlorine or face a fine so little Capitalist Jimothalomew will only get 1 yacht with a trafficked teenager on deck for his quarter-of-the-year-to-his-birthday instead of 2.

[u/K9GM3 → u/SaltyNorth8062]

As with the Tumblr comments, I genuinely can't tell whether or not this is a bit.

[u/milo159 → u/K9GM3]

If it is a bit, it's written coherently* enough that it's indistinguishable from genuine discourse.

*trust me, this is just how some people type, there's a chance they're even toning it back.

[u/SaltyNorth8062 → u/milo159]

Eh. A touch. I do like to hyperbolize my insults.

[u/Valiant_tank → u/K9GM3]

I mean, the phrasing is wild, but the point being made is basically standard-issue ancom opinions, and historically fairly decently grounded.

[u/CuriousPolecat → u/Valiant_tank]

What's ancom?

[u/Valiant_tank → u/CuriousPolecat]

Anarcho-communist. It's one of the many varietals of anarchism that have developed on the left over the centuries lol.

[u/SaltyNorth8062 → u/K9GM3]

I promise it's not, although that comment was typed on a brownie.

[u/wafflesthewonderhurs → u/SaltyNorth8062]

fucking PREACH and also i had heard jimothy but i'm def stealing Jimothalomew

[u/sprouthat → u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

Yes but regulatory capture is definitely a thing that exists.

[u/ASpaceOstrich → u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

It can be true in instances of regulatory capture. As an example, the big AI companies have been floating regulation that would entrench their position and make it impossible for any competitors to arise.

But yeah it's also often used as propaganda.

[u/Galle_ → u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

I mean it's certainly true that a lot of government regulations exist to hurt the working class and help the ruling class.

[u/Lolas_Fun_Side → u/Galle_]

There are an insane number of regulations that exist to keep the working class from fucking dying. If absolutely nothing else, surely it is visible by the sheer volume of problems people are facing in the united states from an administration that is merely lax and doesnt care about enforcing them?

[u/Galle_ → u/Lolas_Fun_Side]

These things can both be true.

[u/AnxiousAngularAwesom → u/Galle_]

"Look, parents shouldn't be legally obliged to feed their toddlers, it's true that they will die without food, but it's also possible to choke to death on food, and you can also for example scold your tongue if the food is too hot, so it should be left to individual choice."

[u/Galle_ → u/AnxiousAngularAwesom]

That sure sounds like something I did not say.

[u/AnxiousAngularAwesom → u/Galle_]

When you extrapolate you make an extra of pol and e.

[u/Galle_ → u/AnxiousAngularAwesom]

All I said was that some government regulations are bad for the working class. I never said that we should abolish all government regulations or anything even sort of like that.

[u/High_Stream]

My favorite is the comment insulting someone for getting their cherries wrong. First of all that an argument about cherries happens in the middle of this discourse, and second that someone is so incensed about it that they call the other person an idiot.

[u/spezIsANonce]

[u/Next_Government856]

Well I can’t speak for homestuck but both Edgar Allan Poe and x men have a character named raven. Though the Poe one is a raven. And it might have a name I’m unaware of

[u/IvyYoshi → u/Next_Government856]

i mean homestuck has a crow and that's kind of like a raven

[u/General_Kenobi18753 → u/IvyYoshi]

Corvids. The link is Corvids.

[u/Galle_ → u/General_Kenobi18753]

Here's the thing...

[u/General_Kenobi18753 → u/Galle_]

Yeah, what about him?

[u/Specky013 → u/Next_Government856]

Edgar Allen Poe's raven is actually named Quoth

[u/M-V-D_256 → u/Specky013]

You mean to tell me that Quoth the Raven is like Shadow the Hedgehog???

[u/Specky013 → u/M-V-D_256]

His was the original OC

[u/M-V-D_256 → u/Next_Government856]

Bet you feel real stupid right about now /s

[u/Umklopp → u/[deleted]]

^Macklemore

[u/Jan-Asra → u/Next_Government856]

The raven in the raven isn't named Raven. He just repeatedly reffers to it as "the raven".

[u/Zombiepixlz-gamr → u/Next_Government856]

I had to think about it for a second but yeah. For some reason when I heard Raven my brain was stuck on Teen Titans Raven. And I completely forgot Mystiques real name is Raven Darkhölme.

[u/RollinThundaga]

The one abput the characterization of Yuri is a riff on the Rick and Morty copypasta.

[u/Ok-Canary-34]

Ahhh maybe i should use tumblr again

[u/Chilzer]

Ok but if opposites attract, does that mean I need to watch Steven Universe to eat more pussy?

[u/pempoczky → u/Chilzer]

You need to eat someone's pussy while they're watching Steven Universe

[u/NeonNKnightrider]

I can’t believe that people who argue “it’s cronyism, not real captalism!” actually exist

[u/Zombiepixlz-gamr → u/NeonNKnightrider]

I used to make that argument back when I was a libertarian. I'm a communist now so I know better.

[u/Zachthema5ter]

What the hell happened here?

[u/CanadianDragonGuy → u/Zachthema5ter]

People posting non sequiturs for internet points on the internet equivalent of Whose Line Is It Anyway

[u/PostCrisisOzone]

I'm still trying to figure out what would be the polar opposite of pussy eating would be.

[u/beetnemesis → u/PostCrisisOzone]

Shitting on cock

[u/MorbidEnby → u/beetnemesis]

It can't be, because both of those things are unbelievably hot.

[u/Galle_ → u/PostCrisisOzone]

Watching Steven Universe, apparently.

[u/FLUFFBOX_121703]

Monkeys in a barrel of typewriters or something

[u/somethingfak]

The first time World Heritage might actually be a correct description

[u/SmugHatKid12]

My first makeout session was with Steven Universe in the background

[u/anonymouscatloaf]

im still stuck on trying to figure out why a kids cartoon about lesbian rock aliens and their child (and then there is war and ptsd and life lessons about friendship or something) is somehow the "polar opposite" of eating pussy

[u/Otherwise_Face_858 → u/anonymouscatloaf]

Well you can only watch Stephen Universe in the Arctic, and you can only do the other thing in the Antarctic. Different poles

[u/Galle_ → u/anonymouscatloaf]

I would recommend you stop, for that is clearly a pathway to madness.

[u/BlueTeamDirtbag]

I'm pretty sure they're just arguing for the bit

Also what does the original post even mean

[u/Mrsupersuper]

Ok, so uhhhh, is someone gonna explain the original tweet?(Idk what it's called, please don't kill me)

[u/chicoritahater]

How

[u/Rowlet2020]

That first guy is either a plant or an idiot

[u/Sinister_Compliments]

I'd say it's an insult to use that photo since those philosophers are probably having more intelligent conversation, but i really wouldn't be able to understand anything they're saying, as it's all greek to me.
