Guidance is political

Bernie had a lot of support back in 2020, but he got ratfucked by the entire field moving to ensure that Joe had a clear path to beat him.

Sure the history is interesting, so is that of elan vital, abiogenesis, and geocentrism. It still remains that anyone who believes in these in the modern day has something seriously wrong with them and there being a Soviet plenum that agreed with them almost a century ago does not change that fact.

I've seen some moments of HB consensus that "religion cannot be a reactionary social force ever, even theoretically, and you must be a reddit atheist idealist for suggesting so"

How can you look at what cocaine does to people and come to the conclusion "the only problem with supplying them with cocaine is exploitation in the supply chain"? Granted, cocaine isn't black tar heroin or something, but it still fucks people up. There's a substantial difference between not punishing drug users (because you obviously shouldn't) and fucking "narco communism" trafficking drugs to them. Like half the people in this reply chain are just ridiculous.
