Bill Maher is an anti-vaxxer who talks about getting high all the time yet he says it's comic books that make people dumb. I mean even if you didn't know about his rampant racism, xenophobia, and other other numerous lovely beliefs those two things right there should be enough to disqualify him on being able to say "X is the thing that makes people dumb" or even start that conversation.

I am a progressive! Ignore the fact I used to be a libertarian, which means I was a right wing poo poo head. Also ignore I changed none of my beliefs, just realized liberals like me so I became one!" Liberals have also really moved further right in recent years.

Scott Kurtz has always been an extremely bitter person that his webcomic about video games never became the massive success he clearly expected it to be and he's never been shy about lashing out at perceived slights so it sounds pretty believable to me.

So deleting the videos is not going to help his case. But, furthermore, he's deleting evidence. Which is a crime. Even in a civil case, it is a federal criminal offense to delete evidence. And since everything is digital we all know that he's doing it. He's actually getting himself into deeper legal trouble. I'm just glad it's happening to a shitbird. So that I don't have to feel bad for his stupid rear end. Be Nazi, Get hosed Up, Get The gently caress Out, gently caress Nazis.

Listening to conspiracy theories, anti-science, bigotry, etc. is a waste of time, distracts us from what's true, and allows empassioned idiots to spread lies. A sad reality is truth does NOT win out. It will ALWAYS lose to a comforting lie. This is how we got anti-vaxxing as a movement, the entire American government denying the ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC FACT of climate change, and Donald Trump as President. If you wish to preserve truth you must be willing to accept that some dumbasses don't deserve a platform and don't deserve your time.

This is how we got anti-vaxxing as a movement, the entire American government denying the ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC FACT of climate change, and Donald Trump as President. I may be more idealistic than a lot of people in similar circles, but I don't know. Anti-vaxxers are a fringe group for a reason-- it's because most people, even if they only vaguely understand how vaccination works (a boat I'm in!) accept that it works for numerous low-key empirical reasons. Trump, I reassure myself every day, lost the popular vote, badly. He doesn't speak for everyone, or even mostly everyone. I think people can learn and change. I think people will tend towards their best selves if conditions allow it and they're placed amongst healthy and supportive structures. I think that on a whole people are kinder and smarter than they were 30 years ago in large part because the internet allows people much broader access to people from different backgrounds, with different life experiences. What consoles me is that the totally berserk fringes of reactionary thought-- Proud Boys, MRAs, *gaters, etc.-- are a) widely recognized as both dangerous and laughable, vile shitheads all around b) fundamentally articulating positions that a few decades would have been MUCH more broadly mainstream, especially concerning "proper" gender and race roles. A large part of their violence is just a dying ideological body thrashing around in its death spasms, and as urgent as the need to proactively and assertively resist such ideologies is, it's also important to note for our own collective sanity that mass culture, as traumatically imperfect as it is, has taken already taken huge strides forward. If you remember what comic book forums, for example, were like 10-15 years ago, it would be impossible to imagine a thread like this having the general consensus that it does. I think that's progress, minor and incremental as it is, and a tiny, tiny but personally significant sign that often when confronted with a challenging truth or a comforting lie, people can and will choose truth. That being said, Bill Maher should be cold-cocked in the street for so much as opening his mouth to order a Jamba Juice. He's never said a worth worth saying or hearing. gently caress him and gently caress his unearned and pathetically utilized platform.

Sorry for believing that every single person on this planet deserves to be able to speak their mind, regardless of their ideals, unless it's truly harmful (anti vax, extremely dangerous "alternative medicine", crossing the line from being a racist oval office to advocating for murder, etc). If you don't give them a platform, you not only prove the conspiracy theorists right (edit for clarification: in their minds and the minds of the readers), you also give more fuel to the fire. "Look!

I'd also say listening to conspiracy theories isn't always a waste of time; a lot of the stuff we know today about the Trump administration would have been brushed off as a "conspiracy theory" at one point. Usually you can tell instantly when one is bullshit, and when one is reasonably plausible. If anything, you don't have to listen to them, but people should be able to say them. What do you contend is the best way to stop these harmful crimes of thought? CynicalThundercunt fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 24, 2018 |

Homophobia, racism, sexism have more blood on it's hands as movements overall, but a racist rear end in a top hat saying "yeah man gently caress the blacks amiright" isn't necessarily* killing anyone. One rear end in a top hat not vaccinating their children against preventable, lethal diseases is directly putting their kids as well as all the kids they meet in harms way.

CynicalThundercunt posted:a racist rear end in a top hat saying "yeah man gently caress the blacks amiright" isn't killing anyone If this isn't disingenuous, it's like, Kaspar Houser levels of oblivious to the world of things and events. CynicalThundercunt posted:Racism/bigotry have blood on their hands as movements, but I doubt that some irrelevant comedian being a racist rear end in a top hat is really killing anyone, and I don't think some irrelevant comedian advocating war is really a factor in starting wars. Wars don't happen because armies spontaneously decide to huddle up and start fighting. In the 20th and 21st century in countries like the US they live or die off of popular mandate. Not unanimous mandate, of course, but enough. That mandate-- the belief that even if ugly or unpleasant a war is worth entering and worth remaining in-- is absolutely predicated on media messaging. In the early 2000s the war in the Middle East was absolutely and relentlessly marketed by news, pop culture, pedagogy, everything, and to say that "some irrelevant comedian" isn't, well, relevant, is staggering in the context of what the war drums during that period were like. quote:I see issues like racism as a spectrum, not a black and white (no pun intended) view of "racist" and "not racist", and there's a big difference between genuine advocacy for nailing black people to crosses and lighting them on fire and making casual hosed up comments. Why? What's the difference? Again, I think education and change is possible for almost everyone, but why should any kind of racism be hand-waved away as inconsequential?
