      Dude’s not nearly rich or connected enough to hang with the Wall Street freaks or the Silicon Valley geeks. He’s probably raping his way through his local church group, though.

    Imagine this guy marrying your daughter child 🤢

    More importantly, is this some sort of ploy to get the angry young men vote?

      My sis is 2 decades younger than me. She now the age our mom gave birth me to me. The idea of teen pregnancy kind of make me want to cry to think about it. Just so sad.

        Any conservative board or sub, will immediately be overtaken by fascist snowflakes. I mean who the hell would want to freely mod a conservative sub in their free time? The job description alone requires someone deeply disturbed

    I’m at a loss for words. How did this man not get shouted down for saying that out loud and in public?! Those are the thoughts of a predator, which is a position of power.

        In the name of honest, good degenerates, I protest these ghouls being lumped in with us. It’s perfectly sane to want to have sexual relations with eg. military aircraft, and it is much more natural and socially beneficial than what these despicables imply.

      Full context:

      If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative

      I think this can be interpreted as “young people will inevitably get pregnant”, not “young people should get pregnant”.

      Still wrongheaded and cringeworthy, but maybe not as monstrous as it initially looked.

        Read as:

        If we ban child marriage, then desperate single mothers will want to have abortions instead of getting married like God intended.

        Dude’s literally complaining that children getting abortions is easier than getting children married. No, that sounds exactly as ghoulish and monstrous as it appeared.

        No. That’s even worse.

        They’re arguing that children should get married to provide for kids.

        Reality: the only people that can afford to support not one but two children…. Are creepy old men.

        The argument is that because kids might get preggo, they should be allowed to marry them and make them preggo

        That’s fucked up.

          I’m not sure he cares if anyone provides for them. Like many in the GOP, he seems to only care about preventing abortions without any thought to what happens next.

      Yep, to move the Overton Window to the right. The left should do this as well. If a group of real leftist put out a political platform it would make Biden look like a Republican.

      • Completly ban lobbying
      • Free healthcare for all
      • Free college for all
      • Housing guarantee - homelessness not acceptable
      • Billionaires fortunes taken and redistributed
      • Ban fossil fuel subsidies
      • Military exit from all countries except as part of multi-lateral peace keeping forces

      Stuff like that

          Billionaires fortunes taken and redistributed

          That’s the only extreme one to me. Higher taxes on billionaires is a reasonable take. Government forcibly seizing private property is not.

          Honorable mention:

          Military exit from all countries except as part of multi-lateral peace keeping forces

          This would be extreme except it’s not even possible, other countries are not interested in paying for their own defense.

          Ya, I wish they were more effective. I’d also like to see more from the less authoritarian side of the left.

            the less authoritarian side of the left

            Very hard to be authoritarian when you’re at the bottom of the economic totem pole. Are you sure you’re not just talking about the police, writ large?

              I was speaking of the general authoritarian vs libertarian divide in the left. It’s not about power excercised, it’s about the power some on the left feel entitled to exercise to achieve their goals.

              Everyone on the left wants to make the world a better place, eliminate hunger and homelessness, all that good stuff.

              –> The terminology is confusing though as different groups use different words or definitions.

              On the one side you have your (authoritarian) “socialists”, and “communists” those who believe that order must be imposed from above by a powerful government and this government. Good social behavior is coerced by implied threat of force. This government of course is supposed to be and remain benevolent and always controlled by well-meaning socialists to ensure a functional socialist system. The DSA fits in here on the lighter side, “tankies” fit here on the extreme authoritarian end.

              On the other side you have your anarchist types (who are also typically non-authoritarian communists), those who feel that any entity powerful enough to control society will inevitably end up controlled by the worst type of people (because this is what’s happened in every state/government that has ever existed) and the we should look to non-state and non-coercive solutions.

                the power some on the left feel entitled to exercise to achieve their goals

                This reads more like a right-wing interpretation of leftism than any kind of leftist internal critique.

                On the other side you have your anarchist types (who are also typically non-authoritarian communists), those who feel that any entity powerful enough to control society will inevitably end up controlled by the worst type of people

                That’s an Orwellian critique. But Orwell was a Burmese cop turned UK intelligence official under Churchill. The Animal Farm / 1984 view of left-libertarianism is far more a right-wing propaganda critique intended to discourage any form of organizing or collective action. Hell it might as well be lifted directly from the CIA Guidebook on how to disrupt a meeting rules 1, 7, and 8.

                And, in the end, the reflexive flight from any kind of organizational structure demonstrably doesn’t work. You can have fully decentralized entirely non-violent organically assembled student protests on college campuses, and you’ll still be accused of operating as violent, bigoted, fifth columnist dupes of wicked foreign governments. Meanwhile, you’re squaring off against a heavily financed, tightly managed, rigid state hierarchy that can act with impunity in the face of a fractured and easily infiltrated opposition.

                The foundation of left-anarchism is the cultivation of networks of trust. Not a reactionary fear of authority. When anarchists trust one another, they can and do form hierarchies and develop party discipline and even form state structures once they’ve achieved sufficient degrees of success. And its these trust networks that allow a community of anarchists to preserver after decades under siege by militant capitalists.

      I wish it was some strategic play to manipulate public opinion. But this is sincerely what white nationalists who have ingested too much Great Replacement Theory honestly think.

      Teenage girls are just baby-making factors for the “correct” ethnicity. Everything about our civilization hinges on the level of pigmentation in our skin and the shape of our foreheads/lips. We need to be prepared for a War To End All Wars, and that means churning out an army of Ubermensch to combat the savage hordes.

      It isn’t an act. This is what they sincerely believe. 20 years of post-9/11 hysteria and migrant-bashing has produced a party dead set on doing Nazi shit all over again, but from the inside of the country that won the last big war.

    And that’s just ONE official that is saying that aloud for the press to hear. Imagine how many of his colleagues, just as sick and twisted as him, are of the same opinion and just not saying anything.
