Probably, but since those controversies are still extremely relevant, that means they aren't likely to go away anytime soon.

Spunky Psycho Ho posted:I dislike having to subsidize their healthcare by paying more myself, yes. $120 a month makes a difference to me. So you don't care about your fellow human beings like you're accusing liberals of because a bit of extra money for Busch Lite matters more than people getting health care who can't afford it? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me

Nut to Butt posted:America has a civic identity based on Enlightenment ideals. Some people believe this civic identity and its supporting national mythos are a sham, and promote schismatic ethnic identities to combat the "duplicitous" dominant ethnic identity. How do you determine who is or isn't living up to enough of a civic identity instead of an ethnic one, like what kind of tangible measurement could there even be outside of a gut feeling of acting 'American enough'

FisheyStix posted:Gotcha, so they aren't evil retards doing harm, they're just sloppy retards doing harm. But enough about the Republican party. FisheyStix posted:Anything but as precise and accurate a report of the truth as possible is unethical But enough about the President's tweets. Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I think it's more understandable when an industry, in a capitalist society, which makes money based on how many eyeballs are looking at their content, stretch the limits of ethics to ensure that a story is sensational enough to get a whole bunch of eyeballs are looking at it. I don't like it but when it's literally a question of "if we just report the facts this business will die" I at least understand it. On the other hand, a dude is voted into office and paid directly by the people. The amount of money he's paid for the position doesn't change based on how many people are following his ridiculous bullshit online. So what's the motivation for being a sensationalist rear end in a top hat who spins lies and gets into constant online slap-fights 24/7? Oh right, he's corrupt as gently caress and is literally shilling for specific companies (see: the Amazon tweet on the very same day that Wal Mart announced it would no longer contract truckers who carried goods for Amazon) including his own (which he maintains a death-grip on despite the fact that Republicans had a special prosecutor and spent 6 months investigating Jimmy Carter's lone peanut farm which he had actually in fact given up). If you're seriously, honestly and for truly concerned about the ethics of spreading falsehoods and/or exaggerations of the truth from a position that is likely to shape the perceptions of the populace at large, there's a fella in the White House at his bully pulpit that you might want to consider curtailing as well.

Close the borders, but at the same time vastly improve the systems for work visas and paths to full citizenship. That way we can have all of the diversity and free flow of people without creating what is essentially a slave class that is forced to work under the table for scraps and is terrified of using systems as basic as police assistance

Maybe instead of citizens subsidizing everyone else, and as much as I love DARPA, they could pull money from that program, cut the prez and congress/senate pay down, and use that money. But lol at our overlords doing that, and the rest of the world continues to laugh at us because we don't protest worth a poo poo for actual issues, let alone fight back. WELP

Is this meme still funny to libs, or does it hit too close to home now? Notice how the narrative has quietly shifted away from Russia the past few days? They do this for a few weeks every time their story collapses. Then they'll slowly bring it back up in hopes you forgot things like how Trump bombed Syria and how the basis for the Russia/Trump collusion story was found to be a big "nothing burger" as Van Jones would put it.

The salary government officials get from the government is fine, it's the second salary they get from big companies that's the problem. People treat an official not taking their official salary like a virtuous thing but all that says is that they're rich as gently caress and making way more off their corporate contributions. See your friend the don.

VikingSkull posted:hey journalism? it's just a for profit business guys! they gotta make a profit, it's totally understandable that they lie! no big deal! No, I totally agree with you in that it is a big deal. They for sure wanted Trump to be in power so they could get great headlines for the next eight years. But it absolutely is a result of capitalism, and to think otherwise is madness. So whaddya wanna do about it? We could regulate them, but that seems unlikely from the party that refuses to regulate industries where people are dying, so that would be pretty hypocritical. The other solution is to ensure there is no profit motive in journalism. Good luck! But once again we come around to this: if you're really, honestly and for truly angry that those with influence are being untruthful, you should be furious at the POTUS, who lies on nearly a daily basis, without *even* having the excuse that the MSM has of "we do this or go out of business." But... you don't seem to be. Which makes me wonder about your motivation for hating on the MSM. Is it that they're untruthful, ooooooorrrrrr maybe is it that they're dunkin on Trump?
