@Donald_McRonald @ew @WhiteTemplar @eris I am not a lolbert. In fact, I despise that kind of economically right, socially left kind of ideology. It is self-destructive and contradictory.
@ew @Donald_McRonald @WhiteTemplar @eris I end up preferring the term fusionism because it detaches that position from both the spineless cowardly of conservatives and the idiotic utopianism of libertarians.
People think that being “principled” means having their principles. It’s impossible to have other principles in their mind. There are some good principles to have, though. For one, Illegitimi non carborundum or “don’t let the bastards grind you down.” Don’t let them steal your soul or turn you into a golem of some sort. Act in the interests of yourself, your family, and your “people” (whatever that means, in-context), and don’t issue these copes about whatever reality is.
I try to live by these principles (and sometimes fail to for whichever reason), but they aren’t bad just because they’re principles.

Most people see principles as rules they can choose for you and that make you pathetic when you break them.
I heard many times: we cannot be violent towards antifa, we have principles.
For me, principles are goals in life. And if some people give you no other way of achieving for instance tbe goal of "civilized society", you have to improvize. That doesn't mean you broke your principle. On contrary, you are fighting for them even harder.
@ew @RoyalJohnny242 @Donald_McRonald @basadeskaiser @eris @NEETzsche @TheMadPirate @WhiteTemplar That is why you always go for the higg score.
If your life is over, make sure the world is better for the rest of us. ![]()

It's a simple choice.
During peace, you can be peaceful.
During a battle, you can be willing to fight, or you can die knowing you weren't as bad as them. there is no other option when the opposite side wants you dead.
And I seriously don't care if it looks bad to you.

During a battle you blow your enemies fucking heads off.
