STAC Goat posted:I can't wait to hear how social media is harassing Crowder just for a little joke and it's social justice liberal snowflake oppression. I know, right? What's next the n-word? Not the n-word, the "n-word". We won't even be able to refer to it we'll just have to call it "the word that shall not be named". Meanwhile it's all over the rap videos! THE RAPS VIDEO!!!!!! STAC Goat posted:The Rich story was REALLY bad. As I remember it they flat out made up things said by invesitigators, police, and even family members. I dont know if its enough to win a case but it was enough to freak out Fox News, cost them advertisers, and see Sean Hannity get humbled on tv. The investigator that told the story to Fox said he was hired by the parents. He was not. He never even talked to them. He also fabricated evidence "shown to him by the police". The police denied ever showing him anything at all. The entire thing was a complete scam.

BarbarianElephant posted:The problem is, they *aren't*. So the Republican party is becoming packed with quasi-fascists and assorted nutcases, while the sane pro-business guys join the Democratic party. This is currently really annoying all the leftists who feel that the Democratic party is swinging to the right and cares more about Silicon Valley than the ordinary person. This is how the Overton window works. I know what they’re currently doing. What I’m saying is that it’s not working. This is why they just lost a R+20 district. It’s not getting better. They will radicalize themselves out of existence or eventually read the tea leaves and tack left. The Overton Window is shifting left, Republicans just don’t see it yet. Who thinks the Democrats are shifting right? Just lol. Bernie loving Sanders just sniffed the nomination and actual DSA members have won state Office.

U.T. Raptor posted:Yeah, one of the big problems with our country is essentially that the Democratic party contains what would be the entire government in a sane country. This is mostly a symptom tho. The actual big problem is that the American government is mostly built on legal architecture written decades to centuries ago to protect the power of white landowning men, and we haven’t reckoned with that as a country. There’s a reason that the more and more the problems become apparent, the more and more conservatives and liberals enshrine the sacredness of the Constitution as sacrosanct. Hell, the fact that, that’s a capitalized word is emblematic of the problem.

Yes, I'm aware that writers will capitalize nouns to illustrate importance of their movement or people or decapitalize them in order to diminish or dishonor them (such as: Black history and christopher colombus). The US Constitution is revered like some kind of a religious text and its text is treated like dogma when it was designed to be adaptive (or maladaptive). But the fucker's title is capitilized because that's just the norm in English for titles of documents, books, etc.

Star Man posted:Yes, I'm aware that writers will capitalize nouns to illustrate importance of their movement or people or decapitalize them in order to diminish or dishonor them (such as: Black history and christopher colombus). I agree, but it’s also not typical of other countries with constitutions as far as I can tell. It’s not a major point, just more of a “if you’ve never thought about this” type of statement. Edit: to be clear, I actually thought you were making a joke. I wasn’t trying to be dismissive.  The Lone Badger posted:Australia. Don’t you guys also lock up refugees in concentration camps and make weird bad environmental law like we do? Like it’s probably better since you guys have a parliamentary system but it’s still not producing quality outcomes.

Pirate Radar posted:Like which? I always capitalize it when appropriate, whichever country I’m talking about. Let me rephrase: if I talked about “the French Constitution,” I would capitalize it. If I said “the Constitution” without further context, you’d assume I meant the American one. Admittedly, this is partially due to most of us being American. But still, the point is that the US Constitution is given such a deferential position in our society that it’s changed our grammar in small ways. Edit: I realize now that this sounds silly. I guess the point is that conservatives aren’t capitalizing it because they think it’s the title of a document.

They're just not remotely as loony-tunes insane as American politics. I mean, Abbot was a total blithering idiot who repeatedly stabbed his own party in the back. But then you guys went and proved that anything we can do, you can do ten times harder. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Mar 15, 2018 |

It was written by slave-owning plantation aristocrats and worse, Bostonians.

Rush explained to us yesterday that Lamb was "supposed to win by 5%"* according to polls and that "Democrats always seem to win close elections", which is a dog whistle for "rigged elections". It's also total bullshit> God, does he think I don't remember Bush v Gore, Bush v Kerry and even Trump losing the popular vote? The lying seems more and more blatant. *citation needed

The impression I get is that it's a bunch of people that heard him complaining about pronouns and identity politics and decided that must mean he's a genius that "gets it." Jordan Peterson's YouTube videos do get a fair number of hits, but the videos that end up going viral are never his, they're videos made by other people with titles like "Jordan Peterson DESTROYS SJW journalist" or whatever. His fans just want him to lay sick owns on the libs. I think his overall messages are secondary.

I certainly wonder how he feels about the Virginia election where it came down to a single vote and the Republicans decided after the fact that a discarded ballot was in fact actually good and then won the equivalent of a coin flip.

Like it was a paper in support of him rebranding the idea of uncertainty as 'psychological entropy' and as far as I could tell the entire point was for him to say a bunch of things that look like smart people words and waffle so much that people would mostly just 'meh whatever' through it and act like it meant anything because they couldn't be hosed to wade through the mire of jargon.

It’s basically this. Jordan Peterson is basically one of the “skeptic youtuber” personalities who gets mainstream legitimacy because he is nominally educated and writes books that seem smart. His followers only really care about dropping sick burns to own the libs tho.

Genocide Ben's audience came from Baby Boomers reading and listening to him and then forcing him on their kids/grandkids while they were at a still-politicially impressionable age. Gamergate did a lot to rebuild his star power too after the 12 Year Old Conservative Wunderkin luster wore off and his helicopter dad couldn't get him booked anywhere but C-Tier Fox News shows. The hordes of angry white male nerds came to Breitbart following Milo Yiannopolis's pied piper tune, and there they found Ben waiting to greet them with his creepy serial killer smile and his hot takes on woman, trans people, Arabs, and those loving kids these days
