Yeah, I'd love to live in a world where nazis never existed and the swastika was still treated as a good luck symbol, too. Similarly, I wish I lived in a world where ice cream didn't make you fat and exercise didn't make you all sweaty and gross.

That the justice system is unfair or that ex-prisoners have a very difficult time re-adapting to society doesn't mean the blame is on the actual victims of a crime.

quote:

A Republican lawmaker in South Dakota is coming under fire for posting a violent cartoon meme showing a car slamming into people along with the phrase “ALL LIVES SPLATTER.” 

Rep. Lynne DiSanto,  the Republican whip in the state’s House of Representatives, wrote: “I think this is a movement we can all support.” 

GOP head response

quote:

However, House Majority Leader Lee Qualm told the Argus Leader newspaper that DiSanto was not in danger of losing her whip position.

“Obviously I think she wishes she had not put it out there, but she was quick to pull it down and it seems like one of those things you do without putting much thought into it,” Qualm told the newspaper. 

"Apology"


quote:

“I am sorry if people took offense to it and perceived my message in any way insinuating support or condoning people being hit by cars,” DiSanto told the Rapid City Journal. “I perceived it differently. I perceived it as encouraging people to stay out of the street.”

I kinda see where this is coming from. A lot of major industries now are not focusing on creating goods or providing services directly, but rather on bringing those with goods/services together with those who want to buy. Not sure about calling bitcoin a bank tho.

As it becomes harder to extract profit from the poor via traditional means, the capitalists have shifted to new and more nightmarish modes of production that minimize the necessary overhead while maximizing the value of every transaction for themselves. The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is crazy.

to be honest that sounds like a group you really wouldn't want to be in anyway. it's handy when they're so up front about it, lets you place them right in the ole mental garbage can right away.

So, they've made the Council of Ricks, which the primary Rick of the show wants no part of an actively dislikes. Good one, guys! You're really smart for liking that show, and are absolutely getting it!

Rick fucks an alien with no binary gender at least once in the show and does petty poo poo constantly, so they aren't even consistent with the show/character they identify with so much.

Rick is an incredibly depressed alcoholic. The only reason he hasn't drank a hole in his stomach is because he's a loving cartoon. You'd only want to emulate him if you're dumb as poo poo/incredibly good at missing the point.

It was probably naive of me to hope that the fans would embrace the Meeseek's philosophy of seeking out a purpose for its own good, and living a life devoted to the betterment of your fellow man. Now I'm just hoping they'll embrace the "stop existing" part.

Because the thing they enjoy is also their identity. Take this from a reformed weeaboo, if you let some form of entertainment form your life because it's the only thing you have in common with some subset of humanity, it can do very bad things to how you view that thing and how others or viewing it "wrong".

My least-favorite fandom meme is "We are obsessed with this media franchise, which proves that we embody the personal virtues of the protagonists of this media franchise." No, you don't. Obsession is not a substitute for developing good character traits.

Rick and Morty is pretty great, but anyone who sees Rick as a model or as an example to live up to is a loving lunatic. He is literally the biggest douchebag in the whole loving universe.
