Mordy wrote this on thread Conventional Mealy Mouths: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 5 on board I Love Everything on 25-May-2016

that argument only makes sense if your self-conceptialization is entirely as a lone independent actor - in which case one solitary vote does not participate in any meaningful way in the political process. however there is such thing as a society and we are not just independent actors but part of large collectives of self-interest, identity and affiliation and the only reason why NY is a stable blue state is because there are a whole bunch of "independent actors" who go and vote and make it that. you have to be dripping w/ self-aggrandizement to not understand that your participation in the vote matters not bc you alone get to make the decision but bc /you/ collectively do. i wonder if other countries have this "your vote doesn't matter" argument or if it can only exist in the context of america's radical cult of individualism.

Just revisiting Thatcher Is Dead, it's a hoot.

Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Thursday, 26 May 2016 23:22 (eight years ago) link

... though many prefer the follow-up, "please temp-ban Mordy from the Thatcher Is Dead thread"

Yeah that second one has the personal angle that u need when framing great public events imo

Thank you. As usual I don't know what I've posted to earn it.

Like many skilled debaters, he's adept at sniffing an opponent's weakness and making a rhetorical lunge. When this doesn't work he smothers in Latinates, like an squid shooting ink before escaping.

Frogbs, think it's save to say you had a rocky start here, but you're one of my fave posters now when it comes leftfield musical recommendations and knowledge. I salute you for your vaporwave picks/Vektroid alone. Let it be said.

Old Lunch is generous, friendly, and oftentimes a catalog of all the thoughts I'm looking for but didn't know to express

Thanks, mh! You're certainly among the ilxors I would fete itt were I not overwhelmed by the crippling certainty that someone among my faves would feel slighted by their accidental omission from my to-fete list.
