[QUOTE="MagicHour, post: 23475, member: 387"] Since there is no WoodsTown this week I'll add that PT's riffing was very bad in the last episode and that this episode was the most lazy and uninvolved. I also disagree with Keith's anti-supremacist rhetoric. Keith peddles this metaphysical gobbledygook Platonist argument that the plenitude of nations in the world fulfills 'the Good', so it seems he has a moral disagreement with Joel's settler colonialist rhetoric. Keith did not bring up any moral arguments against Joel in the episode, but the ones he did were more compelling, such as, [LIST] [*]the conditions for settler colonialism no longer exist [*]the technological gap between us and the Third World has narrowed ("Pakistan has nukes") [*]advocating for "our own rights" has greater appeal than Joel's expansionist ideas, especially for a small movement [/LIST] I only really disagree with the third point. In [I]Mein Kampf[/I], Hitler talked about conquering Russia to achieve 250 million Germans in Europe by the end of the 20th century, and he still secured the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. And for the record, I at least prefer Keith to Joel, and I have had the same negative opinion of Joel since I first knew of him. If you can't take one look at him and see what he's about, you're NGMI Adolf Hitler talking about Keith Woods: [ATTACH type="full" width="543px" alt="hitler1.png"]3920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="543px" alt="hitler2.png"]3921[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
