Magic Hate Ball posted:The thing that gets me is how viciously spiteful a lot of right-wing people are. They legitimately hate anyone who isn't them, and physically abhor the idea of helping less fortunate people. It's really shameful. If you haven't read it, read Bob Altemayer's "The Authoritarians". It's basically about this.

The book gets into the mindset of right wing authoritarians and the guy involved has been surveying people for like 30 years over this stuff. It's far more insightful than anything I could write about it. The idea of a logical inconsistency doesn't really mean anything in this context and that it has far more to do with a specific personality set than actual logic, that these are the same people who are executing people in Nazi Germany, starving people in the USSR, burning down churches in America.

K. Waste posted:I had the sever with a friend after he started tweeting about Sandy Hook conspiracy theories - not because he authentically believed them, but because he was already pre-disposed to the position that, regardless of what the facts were, they were being twisted to support gun control, so he might as well proliferate the conspiracy simply to undermine the credibility of the government. The problem I think the alt-right are going to run into, and conservatives too since they have swallowed to a degree the same red pill, is that they have embraced this sort of "post-truth" / postmodern prism into which they filter, perceive, and project information through. The issue is that this is completely counter to the very core being of reactionary ideology, which not only needs certainty, but demands it. They've made a huge short term gain in using it as a strategy to get the white house, but I think there's going to be a lot of backfire. Reactionaries arent cut out for relativism and "post-truth." They're like Wile E Coyote right now, they've run off the cliff and they're only still going because they haven't looked down, yet.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:They've made a huge short term gain in using it as a strategy to get the white house I don't think they have. I think the explanation for this election is not "alt right sophistry resonated with a lot of people" and the belief that this philosophy is a critical part of Trump's success, if it is indeed shared by Trump/his campaigners, is going to lead to a lot of hurt for them in future elections where they aren't faced by a grossly incompetent and unappealing opponent.

How do you manage to be an even shittier person than the ones who are propagating this hurtful conspiracy theory? Propagate it despite the fact that you don't believe it. At least the schizoid assholes who believe it have their dumb broken brains to blame for being a fuckwad. Also, I'm gonna start using the word "fuckwad' more in honor of John Larroquette, who said in an interview it's his favorite curse word, because he's totally right. It's a great "one-size-fits-all" insult. Anyone can be a fuckwad!

My dad is/was kinda like that, I vividly remember him once randomly suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job and said something about being able to see "explosions" at the base of the tower. I think he's gotten a little better since I've moved up here and spent more time with him, I try to gently counteract questionable things he says. He's entrenched in this idea that it's him against the world and he has to fight tooth and nail for every little thing, and everyone's always trying to take it away from him, which I think is common in the alt-right and general conservative set.

But they don't live in rural Colorado and or work on a farm. Good if you were looking to be converted by them, I suppose. A good thing would to not be friends with someone that's racist and sexist.

I watched two different dystopian sci-fi movies today and enjoyed both of them! Black Road just had a bunch of stuff that I love to see in movies/books, it felt like something taking place in the background of a Neal Stephenson novel. I believe I saw someone recommend The Call Up in this thread, I had sort of low expectations but I really liked it. Switching between the warscape of the game to the bright white of the real world was used very well.

CPL593H posted:When The Dark Knight came out I remember the internet all came together to declare Heath Ledger as the ultimate portrayal of that character and that Jack Nicholson and that whole movie were total crap. I think it's died down since, but I still can't believe people ever thought that. Heath Ledger was interesting in the role for sure, but come the gently caress on. Jack Nicholson completely outclasses him in every way and the Tim Burton movies are just so much more fun than the Christopher Nolan series.
