he's the love child of Kucinich and McCain[09:42] josh_k

I could actually see it being a lot of fun to start a grasroots support base for him[09:43] franz

"Tired of the bullshit? Mike Gravel will drop the hammer!"[09:44] franz

sparta clip?[09:44] franz
where he talks about gays in the military[09:44] franz
and he says the spartans were a little gay[09:44] franz
and that made them better warriors[09:44] josh_k
telling it like it is[09:45] franz
because they had a deep emotional connection with their fellow soldiers[09:45] franz
well[09:45] josh_k
straight outta socrates[09:45] franz
i am glad that somebody is willing to talk about the millitary industrial complex[09:45] franz

like[09:46] josh_k
let's not pretend[09:46] josh_k
we're doing something we're not[09:47] franz
so he is a protest candidate[09:47] franz
and we can be good dems and support who the nominee is[09:47] franz
we have done it before[09:47] josh_k

word[09:48] franz
maybe i have been watching to many of the RATM clips from coachella[09:51] franz
he could be the eugene mccarthy to gores rfk
I'd like to note that on the Spartans tip, while the Army hasn't taken the step of encouraging homosexuality, they have fully-embraced the rubric of small-unit-cohesion as a motivation for fighting. My man Lande studied this as part of his inquiry into Carnal Sociology. Told me all about it.
Basically, as opposed to patriotism or nationalism, which are much more spotty and fallable motivators, if you get a group of solders to really care about one another (by keeping 100 to 150 of them in close social contact through formative physical and emotional experiences) and you have a command and control apparatus that can then place that group in a situation where they must kill to survive, they're remarkably and reliably effective.
