[Dystopian Darkness]

Dilettantes in any field, intelligent people who speak and act unintelligently, people who use "like" inappropriately in sentences, people (of either sex) who wear their clothing in such a manner so that their underwear is exposed for all to see, and sanctimonious kneejerk adherents of any and all political ideologies (in my professional circles, most of these people are liberals) who act and argue as intelligently as turnips.

I don't see people who wear clothes that show underwear as positive. Usually what you dress may show a little of your character. I don't know what to think about someone who shows underwear, so my immediate response is distrust

[Godstud]

This is why you dislike guys showing their underwear"


With pretty women it's more of a fashion faux pax.

[Truth To Power]

I dislike anyone unwilling to see the world as it really is, and hold contempt for those willing to hide it. That doesn't leave many likeable folks left.

This, from a young-earth creationist??

I was going to say Libertarians, but on consideration, I'm not sure that I particularly hold any people in contempt. People rile me up, but that's slightly different. I get fired up by politics and I can see politics in nearly everything. I get angry with people getting away with things, getting away with bullshit. Consequently its actually politics, that I see / hear / read in the media that fires me up. They get to speak without me being able to challenge them. Its an experience of powerlessness which no doubt is a common thread to anger, even amongst people who appear to be powerful. Of course on forums I can challenge people, but I'm a painfully slow writer and I just don't have the commitment to keep writing screen size post after screen size post. That's why Libertarians annoy me because (in my not so humble opinion) they just keep repeating the same old bull shit over and over again.

Forums act as a kind of therapy for me. A reaction to the other media content that I have to passively consume. (Of course I don't have to consume it, but I have to consume it passively if I consume it all). improbable as it may sound, I'm actually a much nicer person in real life, I rarely talk politics and most people seem to like me.

[Rakshasa]

Liberasts. Don't mix with liberals.
Or better - liberats.

[Stormvessel]

I hold in total contempt Cultural Marxists and those who undermine the various social institutions that are the pillars of western hegemony.

I hold in total contempt race baiters, racialists, proponents of the race myth, as well as the proponents of the myth of "white privilege".

I hold in total contempt relativists, pacifists, and other such inferior specimens who not only lack the correct components necessary to grasp objective truth, but peddle their nonsense as if it were a truth unto itself.

I hold in total contempt the weak.

I hold in total contempt those who aren't willing to fight.

I hold in total contempt conformists and those unable to think for themselves.

I hold in total contempt those who would seek to undermine the people's State.

And finally, I hold in total contempt those who are men of words and not men of action.

[Godstud]

Cultural marxism is a nonsense term. It doesn't exist.

As for the rest of it Stormvessel, you seem to be a Libertarian, of the worst kind. Probably a parody account.

I hold in total contempt those who aren't willing to fight.

Fighting is for children. Diplomacy is for adults.

[Saeko]

Fighting is for children. Diplomacy is for adults.

Is that so, Chamberlain?

[Godstud]

Nations are different from people, Saeko. This thread is about PEOPLE, not nations or states, which act differently from individuals.

I'm pretty sure that Neville Chamberlain wasn't a country.

[Godstud]

No, but people making decisions for countries aren't doing it for the individual.

[Heisenberg]

Neville Chamberlain wasn't the coward he's presented as being. Britain simply did not have a strong enough military to contend with Germany in the 1930s, and Chamberlain recognised that. Dunkirk proved that beyond all doubt in 1940. Britain didn't have an army capable of taking on Germany in Europe until 1944, for God's sake - and even then, it required the might of the USA on one side, and the USSR on the other to actually achieve anything.

[Potemkin]

And besides, when Chamberlain came to realise that appeasement wasn't going to work with Hitler, he went ahead and declared war on him. That took some guts, considering Britain's weakness at the time. He tried to avoid war while he believed it was still possible to do so, but when he saw that war was unavoidable, he accepted it without flinching.

[mikema63]

It's fun to see how people get shafted in history textbooks.

[Decky]

Yea it's bizarre Mike. People act as if he committed some horrible sin by not imminently declaring war on Germany by ourselves and getting totally crushed into dust.

[fuser]

Meh, could have accepted Soviet offer. At the time of Munich USSR alone doubled the German army coupled with Czechs, France and Britain, it would had been a cake walk.

But USSR was ignored not because of cowardice but spectre of communism, any British leader would had done the same.

[Decky]

Common Fuser if he would have said the UK should pair up the USSR he would have been out of number 10 within days of suggesting it.

[Gletkin]

Harry Turtledove wrote a series about that.
I never really understood why it's France and not Czechoslovakia that's associated all the time with surrender. Although the French got smoked at least they did attempt to put up a fight. It was Prague that surrendered without firing a single shot (the Communists were the only party there advocating war). Maybe because it's easier to say "French". Saying "Czechoslovakian" is a bit too much of a mouthful when you're trying to roll off a witty quip.

[Dagoth Ur]

I think people used to expect a lot out of France. Like in WW1 they were beasts and the just like 25 years later they rolled over.
