Groovelord Neato posted:https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1102373258085707776 It's loving disgusting the way they're weaponizing antisemitism accusations against Ilhan Omar. Right wingers bitch and moan about evil Soros, shoot up synagogues, their kids are apparently throwing swastika parties in high school, and Ilhan Omar is evil cause she's critical of Israel's fascist state (a sentiment that millions of Jews around the world agree with, myself included). Watching people fall in line behind the antisemitism accusations against Omar is loving gross, makes me feel like a prop.

A "some guy in my employ made a mistake and I removed it as fast as possible" defense isn't going to work, but it's all that he's got. how do you handle that sort of coordination? I probably should have contemplated this question long before this, but hey, my closest professional approach to lawyer magic is compliance, and none of my employers or associates have had to employ multiple sets of lawyers in ongoing cases yet Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Mar 4, 2019 |

Casey Finnigan posted:What Jane Sanders said was very loving strange but what's far more mystifying is all the people in the thread saying, "Actually, I'm a straight man and let me tell you... there's nothing offensive about the extremely bizarre poo poo that she said, even though many women have openly expressed offense on Twitter." Yeah, exactly this. The statement is not a big deal. But if you see a trans person saying "hey, this is really, uncomfortably similar to rhetoric that's been thrown at me", and you dismiss that as "super weird", out of hand, just because you haven't had that experience? That is a problem.

Rectal Death Adept posted:This isn't something that is isolated to small town america. While all of this poo poo is purely anecdotal I overheard a conversation by a group of co-workers who up until now were extremely liberal and hated Trump. They went on for a half hour about how Bernie was crazy and if you pay people $15 per hour they have nothing to strive for anymore and how America isn't about handouts. They were never really liberals...They are the same people that would say "IF THEY CAME FOR YOU ID BE IN THE STREETS DEFENDING YOU" but they are also the same people that instantly lock their cars from the inside if they are in the hood. gently caress these people, they mean well but they are full of poo poo.

To be fair, alot of liberals don't give a gently caress about Russia because they have poo poo priorities. I mean, it really is the most glaring issue at the current moment and needs to be fixed asap. Having a Russian agent as the POTUS isn't a good look.

If current trends continue, the affluent will definitely suffer far less from climate change. The poor (and brown) will die first and in much greater numbers. As new technologies become available richer (whiter) cities and croplands will be protected. It's possible in the end everyone will die, but I think it's far more likely we'll establish some new equilibrium, with some surviving on the Mars-like earth. They will most likely be the descendants, disproportionately of today's rich and powerful. This is part of what makes climate change so ethically heinous, the committers of climate change crimes will suffer the least consequences.

Conversely to the whole "people want more social programs but dislike socialism" thing, you see stories all the time about polls finding that milennials have a more positive view of socialism than capitalism. And I think a large part of that is Republicans having referred to anything left of Mussolini as "socialism" for decades and now a lot of young people who've grown up in a world where socialism means nothing more than a bare minimum social safety net are responding positively to the term because our overton window is so screwed up that the center left is now referred to as radical socialism.

The MOST glaring issue at the current moment? Even if we remove global apocalypse level issues that you can argue all nations need to work together on, you're saying this is the MOST glaring issue in America? More than racism, the general rise of fascist 'intellectuals' in the mainstream, the crippling wealth gap, the healthcare crisis, the loving drug epidemic, or the complete privatization and profit focus of the average person's daily life? THOSE issues all need to take a seat because this loving pumpkin given life may have some shady links to Putin like countless other leaders have had with other assorted fascists and autocrats?

You can try to pull out one thread and say "this is the thread", but thankfully AOC and the GND Dems are taking the Alexandar approach and saying gently caress it, cut the whole thing at once. I think this is part of why the squawking to isolate the climate change stuff is a huge mistake and really just an attempt to keep the status quo, they know you can't just isolate one issue and tease it out.

The problem isn't that America is a flaming racist dystopian hellhole, but that the Russians were *somehow* able to see how that issue could be important in an election.

The American experiment cannot fail, but it can be failed and be tampered with: once the traitors are gone, the hope is that things will return to normal. I'm not saying I agree with the perspective, but it seems like the aforementioned thought process is what gives it its enduring and incendiary nature.
