I feel a little bad; Jeff Jacobs seems like an anti-Trump conservative who is genuinely morally outraged and not just a #NeverTrump blowhard.

Hey so, I was listening to an old episode where Felix talked about how some liberals revealing how secretly racist they were by publicly anticipating with glee that Obama would call Trump a bitch-rear end motherfucker or something...I don't doubt that that happened, but who were the media goofs who actually did that?

Moral outrage means nothing when you support the exact same poor punching policies. How can you be a Republican and dislike the Republican ideal made flesh?

that actually makes it hilarious

also I don't think anyone was dumb enough to say it on air but a lot of op-ed types on twitter were eager to imagine the president 'going street' to poo poo talk trump because...somehow he spent 8 years listening to the turtle and Ryan and poo poo and just going 'hrm well we gotta respect their views' but Trump would be the straw that made the Harvard professor go into the rose garden to say "AW HEEEEEEEEEELL NO SON YOU BEST NOT BE TALKIN MAD JIVE ABOUT THE CENTRIST AGENDA I BE PUSHIN"

I think his Republican ideal is Reagan, a dignified grandfatherly type funding mass murder in other countries to keep capital flowing.

Obama and public opinions of Obama have always left me bemused. To many he was an inspiring charismatic figure, to others a literal demon. I always saw him as professorial technocrat--gently caress, even an SA frontpage article back in 2008 said "If Obama wins, prepare yourself for the dullest press conferences ever." Being a boring professor of a president is actually what I liked about him. I would like for the president to be a dull professorial technocrat, presuming that he was doing this to actually advocate for something like a a European social democracy.

Anyway, on a tangential note, I was on a long car ride with a friend and we listened to some of his podcast backlog and hit upon this episode of Intelligence Squared debating UBI
http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/universal-basic-income-safety-net-future

It was a really interesting/frustrating thing to listen to, mostly because they had a union head and libertarian think tanker arguing for the proposal, but in opposition, it was two lanyard policy wonks from the Obama administration, instead of any traditionally conservative voices.

Just listening to the guys in favor of it talking in terms of ideology like Dignity and Security, and the wonks basically saying "money should go to people that need it" and landing on Means Testing instead of Wealth Redistribution kind of made my head spin.

There's a difference between cleaning for yourself and cleaning for others, out of obligation to a boss or even a family, in the "cleaning is the role of the wife" way that's been a part of patriarchal society for centuries, not "ugh my mom is making me clean". It's your labor being used to improve your residence and you see and benefit from the fruit of that labor instead of the bulk of it being exploited by... okay this is getting away from me. It's like Marx said, "two men can't poo poo in one toilet, it's just not enough toilet." Wait, wrong section of Capital, hold on

Which is why I kinda posted that comic, which makes that point in a better way. Housework tends to be grueling, usually under compensated labour, but it's somewhat necessary and probably better to divide the work between the house occupants than neglect it.

as a genre? It presents a world where crime is a problem that needs to be met with harder treatment for criminals, fear, and violence, and creates a system of morals where brave people above the law take issues in their own hands to fight crime.
