Lurdiak posted:It's very hard for some people, especially those who grew up reading utopian sci-fi, to accept that technology will not free us, and that society must change first. We could completely end scarcity and people would still starve, but no one wants to hear that. This is nonsense. It should be in cartoon form.

The speech thing more or less feels like a thing that's a legit reason to be upset about running headlong into the context that a black politician is going to be held to a much higher standard of conduct than a white politician. Case in point Bernie Sanders who is apparently utterly beyond reproach as Americas anointed socialist savior in spite of some stuff that really should be inviting more criticism.

I see this a lot, and it makes me feel like I'm in a bubble because when Sanders does stupid poo poo like back a pro-life Dem or side with Israel BDS whining, he catches a lot of poo poo. Not to mention the leftists I know and listen to readily admit that Sanders is a flawed candidate.

Didn't mean it to be a tacit agreement so much as a "Okay I can see why people would be angry at this."

Not to mention the leftists I know and listen to readily admit that Sanders is a flawed candidate. I'll readily admit that maybe I just tend to see the more batshit groups. Usually when I see criticism of Sanders it tends to be met with a lot of aggressive handwaving or pointing how much worse [democrat] is. Likewise with criticism of some of the people he's associated with coughgabbardcough. On the other hand the circles of poc I'm around tend to have a healthy skepticism with their support. And yeah, to be perfectly fair the BDS statement is a thing I've seen a lot of people go "okay what the gently caress?" to.

My hot take: it bad for anyone to earn 400K for a single job no matter who they is. Hell, no-one should earn close to half a million in a year. Kill and eat the rich. Set up the guillotine. Death is our only escape, abandon all hope, yada yada, etc

Lord Hydronium posted:Um, he's President. You should always respect the President if he's white and Republican. It is nice that Trump is so obviously terrible and stupid that the ridiculous "well you have to respect the President" bullshit isn't sticking despite people in the media obviously trying to push the idea he's Presidencial when he gives a speech or chucks some bombs somewhere random. "Give him a chance" indeed.

In what way does this taint anything beyond vague, ominous and unproven assertions of "well it's a bad look?" The problem is that giving the kinds of speeches to Wall Street firms that they pay you $400,000 for isn't really the kind of thing progressive heroes are supposed to do. It's not that he should have given the speech for free, it's more the fact they offered him that kind of money for the speech at all suggests a certain kind of relationship between them, and the fact that he said yes suggests he agrees. (the right thing to do would have been to not give the speech, but donating the proceeds would have at least emphasized that nothing untoward was going on) loquacius fucked around with this message at 12:25 on May 2, 2017 |

So is y'all's argument "he's too rich to need the money so he should have turned it down?" Like, if he had been dirt poor would you be fine with him selling out his progressive hero status (e: your words, not mine) to the demons of Wall Street?

 Rob Rogers posted:All of the outrage from the right about Ann Coulter's speech being cancelled at Berkley is hot air. A speech on campus is not a right defended by the Constitution. It is a business transaction and if the university doesn't want her to speak (whether for safety reasons or other) it is their right to cancel or reschedule it.

No, that's not my argument, it's my response to your argument that it was simply too big a payoff for scruples to matter. My argument is what I said earlier. And again I don't think he should have turned down the money, I think he should have turned down the speech

I thought Trevor Noah was just one outlier, but seeing a bunch of goons defend a president taking 6-figure bribes from Wall Street is truly mind-blowing. Like I know Obama has a massively inflated image as a "progressive", but I thought people would still be receptive to proof to the contrary.

Shangri-Law School posted:The true loathsomeness is taking less than your market value, thus helping management and depressing wages for everyone else. "Well, there's money in the budget to give you a raise of $1.50/hour, and you've been a model employee these past ten years, but Barack Obama didn't accept $400,000 to give a speech to Goldman Sachs, so I don't really see why you deserve more than minimum wage. But don't feel bad, Donald Trump will take bribes all over the place and then you'll start seeing some real money!" -- a real thing a person might say e: "Those Wall Street types are an inspiration to me! Paying their 'employee' Barack Obama so generously... y'know what? Full-coverage health insurance for everybody!" -- another real thing which honest-to-God real business owners are even now saying constantly

It did sound like that, but I couldn't really imagine Shangri-Law School coming down against Obama on this particular issue so I hedged by just riffing on it So was his collar not drawn or is he just not wearing a shirt under his jacket? (I'd believe either)
