Why not Trump again?

The Democrats' only answer to racism, sexism and homophobia is to fire people and put them in prison. — Whereas Trump lets them out of jail to give them a job. https://platypus1917.org/2020/02/01/why-not-trump-again/

Please tell me this is a satirical piece... I can't tell for sure but:
Seems like it just has to be, right? On Mon, Oct 12, 2020, at 11:55, buynow@... wrote:

I'm not surprised that the founder of the ridiculous, pretentious, and contemptible Platypus Society should wind up pimping for Trump. He isn't making much sense in this piece.
Trump the giver of jobs? Has Cutrone seen the unemployment statistics lately? This must be true in some hifalutin theoretical philoosphical ironic sense that only the enlightened and the ghost of Moishe Postone could grasp--or would bother to. I noticed the following gem before I gave up looking for a coherent thread in this obscenely self-gratifying nonsense: "But Trump’s supporters became annoyed with Obama, and have been reassured by Trump’s confidence in America: Trump’s smile is not sarcastic; Obama’s often was. Don’t the Democrats deserve that grin?" Trump's smile is not sarcastic? Has this arseling never seen one of Trump's purported parodies of his opponents? Is this some form of superior "theoretical" or philosophical irony? If so, the irony gun has come loose from its pivot and is firing everywhere at random. A pity it's firing blanks because Cutrone is squarely in his own line of fire. If only the damp petard had force enough to hoist its perpetrator. Cutrone doesn't seem to know what year it is--he refers to the "current impeachment farce." This incapacity goes together with his inability to tell what world he's in. It's IMO regrettable that someone who should at least have had the benefit of hindsight has seen fit to inflict this probably drunken, certainly unfocused squittering on Marxmail.

proxy server, which I can only determine by seeing the header on
his first message. I strongly suspected that his use of a domain
name indicated that he was a troll but always wait to see the
header. I've banned him and kristinbaird@... who had
the same profile. I'd estimate that after purging Max Power,
I've banned more than a dozen trolls playing the same game as
him. We never ran into these kinds of idiots at U. of Utah but
we're still better off.

Same goes for the sainted “anti state” Lew Rockwell et al Took a look a while back to see where they stood on trump. No issues. He’s a victim ffs. Amazing how hypocrites flow and grok to the power they prefer. This jerkoff cutrone, yep. Typos courtesy of auto spell.

I bet the poster was Chris Cutrone himself, playing some possibly alcoholic version of a Nietzschean prank. Those Platypus geniuses were big on Nietzsche.

I can post to the groups.io tech list and see if the owner is willing to expose some of the critical headers when evaluating moderated posts. He seems hip to avoid spam, maybe he'd be willing to code this up on the grounds that we can have a better sense of a moderated subscriber if we can view essential headers. Les

It is trolling. I still
have trouble wrapping my head around the question of why these
people (or Max's sock-puppets, whoever Max was) bother. I mean,
why go through all the trouble? Back in the early days of
Marxmail, we had to put up with some real nut-jobs but their
problem was being drunk on some stupid sectarian ideology. I
just have no idea what makes these trolls tick. They obviously
are versed in the kinds of questions we take up here (who else
would have a clue who The Platypussies were.) But they're not
interested in a serious debate but only in us going off on
tangents. Beats the shit out of me.

This may be a satirical piece,but this is not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs9L15apy5c It's hard to take an article seriously that says Trump ended the GWOT,when the US is still in Afghanistan,we have not closed any of our bases in the Middle East,to say nothing of Qasem Soleimani. If Trump really wanted us to have universal health care he could do it with a stroke of a pen.Nothing would piss off the Democrats,and their benefactors in the insurance and private hospital,industries,more.The writer of this is piece correct about one thing.If climate change will be stopped,China,not the US,has a better chance of being a leader here.
