pentyne posted:"But what if these illegals have kids who are citizens, and who despite all the economic and social disadvantages against them somehow manage to seriously compete at the same academic level as my kids society will crumble!" That's been something as old as society, though; those with power and wealth rig they game so their own children do well and everybody else does not. Then they say "see? Everybody but us sucks, we deserve our wealth and power." Then when their wealth and power increases they rig the game and gently caress everybody else even harder. What do you mean that tends to lead to unrest and rebellion? Those people should know their place.

The one good thing about Nepotism though is it breeds the kind of ruler or authority that has no idea how to wield its own power nor inspire loving subservience from regular people. Inevitably, generations of people that have never known real struggle or how do anything except demand the success God will surely give to them results in Ted Cruz or Bush the 3rd. Oh good, at least the most important word filter still exists.

Reminds me of a very amusing study I read about a while back that polled White people on what they think about AA, and the vast majority said they staunchly oppose it. But when they were asked if they felt the same way when presented a hypothetical situation where a major university accepted Asian students at a much higher rate than Whites (as it the case for many UC schools), well surprise surprise! Turns out nearly all of them flipped their positions!  It seems that meritocracy is all well and good, but come on now, let's not go overboard here. A little government enforced help never hurt nobody.

True, but the sheer volume of damage these idiot noble children do can take centuries to undo and the rigging usually ensures that someone just as bad will take hold after the upheaval assuming they can keep the bulk of public anger off them.

Chilichimp posted:Opposition to the civil rights act came from Southern Democrats. It represented a party rift, and Republicans played along with getting the law passed as best they could, and even helped draft the compromise bill that ended the ~60 day filibuster. Yeah, that's fair. I probably should have said "conservatives" instead of Republicans. The point I was trying to make is that civil rights was seen by its opponents as a unique issue that was beyond compromise, while conservatives today treat practically every issue as beyond compromise.

I seem to recall a black kid making the rounds on social media/wingnut media last year for his epic youtube burn of Obama. Also the kid, who is in middle school trying to start a Kids for Zodiac Killer club at his school. Then he jumped ship to Bernie(after Rubio?) and mysteriously all his DEFINITELY NOT ASTROTURFED media stuff stopped.

It's funny how racists think that if Trump is elected he will magically cause "racism" to disappear, and racists everywhere will be able to say racist things publicly and there will be no accountability.

If Donald Trump outlawed the act of calling people racist, I bet he'd use that Stormfront talking-point about how Trotsky invented the word "racism," and therefore anyone who says that word is a communist.

What, you mean all the right wing columnists/bloggers are actually turbo dorks that hate anyone that got to have fun, drink or gently caress while they got high off of following all the rules? But, they always act like they're the popular ones, who actually had to try to follow Conservative dogma to remain pure - not because they were completely repulsive freaks that made sure absolutely no one could like them!

You have to understand that liberals of the NYT/Atlantic/New Republic bent do not actually want progressive/left-wing change. They want to be able to feel like Serious, Reasonable Adults by defending the status quo. That is the entire basis of their politics. Opposing the Tea Party and the Republican right is a good way to do that, and while the right is still a major threat allying with the left is convenient for them. But if/when the left gains actual power they'll do the same thing in reverse. They're never going to let the left kick the football, so to speak, because doing so would mean meaningful sacrifice on the part of the liberal aristocratic class icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 01:30 on May 30, 2016 |
