nah that whole techies versus progressive thing is something that's really happening right now. basically being a leftist today is about as milquetoast and mainstream as you can be. two terms african-american democrat in the white house, next president gonna be a woman (clinton or warren) if the gop ever wins the presidency again it's gonna be someone like rubio or cruz, marketing firms have now replaced the 90s multicultural family with the post-nuclear lgbt reconstructed family in their ads, trans actors and actresses are getting in the spotlight and you're starting to have new legistlation regarding them everywhere

basically the whole culture war has been won by liberals, so now you're starting to get a counter-culture movement where people who want to say 'gently caress the man' are going to look to either become purer and purer ('Democrats? :jerkbag: Only Marxist-Leninism can save America! :ussr: ) or the opposite, a new influx of young intellectuals attracted to the conservative movement and trying to find an alternative to the GOP

that's why people rage so much against the SJWs etc.., they are basically the new tipper gore, church ladies and librarians talking about all the problematic and triggering things in the media and getting all huffy about it in their neo-puritan way


obviously that specific person is insane so it colors their understanding of what's happening and framing everything in a 'techie' kind of way in a weird internet echo chamber of like-minded individuals, but yeah the pendulum has started to swung the other way so get used to seeing more and more people like that

Wait how is "let's bring back monarchy" another version of leftist...I'm not really getting your point here

all that ye old timey bullshit annoys me, especially as it was still pronounced as a th sound. The different representations of a Y and the TH sound arrived with the printing press, but before then the words where still pronounced with a th, only the written representation was a y. (well it was the old digraph thorn, which looked a lot like y)

So it's completely ahistorical and just comes off as being a thick idiot pretending to be smart.
It's a phonological fedora

You know part of why I miss the old GBS is this thread. Yeah, there was a lot of annoying news discussions and yes, things got way way way too PC there.

But in the new rules this utter comedy goldmine that could have spawned all kinds of hilarious content has been hijacked from page 1 into a string of "Tranny tranny tranny" posts and it's loving stupid. I know Lowtax commented recently in the rules about the racism thing, but ultimately a lot of potential for wit has been turned into the ramblings of a kid on Xbox Live.

Seriously. There hasn't been this level of what-the-fuckery quotes in a long time. I can think of very people who have even come close. In fact previously these kinds of threads might have even gotten attention outside of SA, but if anyone came here to read this thread (say from the front page article) they're going to get a damned bad impression.

Anyway, just saying. Some forum rules are good. It forces people to be creative or at least put in some effort in their posts at the least.

I agree. There's nothing wrong with trans people. I mean, obviously there's something wrong with Justine Tunney, but not because she's trans.

But anyway, thanks thread for letting me know what neo-reactionaries are. Now I know of some new people to hate. And reading her Twitter posts has been entertaining in a "oh wow, I can't believe there is a person like this" kinda way.

What is it this person does for Google? People saying narrow minded and bigoted things while getting to keep their job isn't too surprising. When they start declaring things like "I agree with parts of the unibomber's manifesto", you'd think men in suits would be knocking on their door.

I speak from experience, because I know what janitors are like. I actually worked as a janitor when I was a teenager. They’re friendly hard-working people, but they’re dumb as bricks. So dumb in fact, that I almost feel embarrassed to admit having worked with them. But the only reason I’m acquainted with such dismal jobs is because my dad thought they built character. I also had a stint with the law as a teenager and was required to do community service—as a janitor (of course).

But I was still a genius programmer even back when I was scrubbing toilets. In fact, I was a child prodigy.

Justine Tunney has less than 2000 followers on twitter, and i'm sure a large fraction of those are people who follow her to tear down her Bad Opinions

If you really want to get her and people like her mad just tell them the truth: that in the long run her opinions don't matter, aren't worthwhile, and will be forgotten almost immediately after she tweets them. She's going to die alone and unloved with very little real influence on the world (and certainly much less than she thinks she has). Then unfollow / block her and never talk about her again.
