    And we absolutely do live in interesting times!

    Actually, the photo in the OP is quite interesting. When you look closely, at the tension and stiffness in the woman's body, you can see it's not consensual - but it takes a close look.

    Dammit. That was what I was going to say in reply to whatever you said.

    They can easily be interpreted as such.

    It's the future. Chat forums can be configured to contain any kind of discussion you need. No need to deal with members. Moderators are redundant, and however much they defame people, you can't sue an AI.

    Possibly, but I'm not heading down a rabbit hole with a Marxist. Can you say time wasting...lol
    He is trying hard to instigate.

    He could equally say the he's not heading down a rabbit hole with a fascist, and it would be an equally convincing argument for failing to argue a point.

    I fully understand that, but...

    Possibly, but it depends on how tight his blinders are cinched. Me thinks very tight...as in political hothead. But there's me speculating again.

    I would never characterize myself as going down a rabbit hole. To me the term strongly implies a fantasy (it after all, is an allusion to Alice in Wonderland). If I were you, I would call it getting into the weeds.

    Your closed mind is fully on display. What did you call that? Oh yes, being an ostrich.

    I'm definitely having a bit of fun. Thanks for the entertainment.

    In the real world I refrain from discussing politics with strangers, or trying to proselytize. I have simply learned from a young age that understanding history from an economic perspective explains a lot about the present.

    Glad to hear. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...

    Yes, like when I spent half an hour or so working on a detailed response about how women have participated in hunting and warfare for as long as those things have existed and that there's nothing in their genes to controvert that, and then having a moderator blithely erase it as if we were living in an Orwellian universe (ahem, DPR). As for the metaphor, it is apt, and begs the question, shouldn't we be trying to see rather than gouge?

    I suspect that you're working under a different definition of 'Marxist' from his.
    Then again, it's intriguing to think that a Marxist would be particularly susceptible to being brainwashed by the capitalist US main-stream media.

    It was Communism. No bosses. 😉
