Anime turns people into fascists.

anime is real fash

old anime from the 80s and 90s still had a lot of anti-authority and anti-imperalism in it and there used to be a proud anti-military streak in japan

modern anime is basically all about national humilaition and japan not being allowed to defend itself because its hands are tied
animefolk sed i woz crazy but like half of the animes i've ever seen in the last few years have a line where someone goes "i forgot, it was the way of the world. The weak die. Only the strong survive!"
i dont watch the little girl slice of life animes that goons like though so maybe those are less fash than just flashy action stuff

Here's the thing, we both agree on a basic concept: we should help the homeless.

On one extreme end, we should spare no expense and ensure they have 24/7 home care if needed and put up in a comfortable place of their own and given social resources to help them begin to budget, find work, etc. The problem with this is unless you half-rear end everything, the homeless end up with a much better life than your average laborer and there's no incentive to actually try to get on their own feet. There is in fact an incentive to not work at anything unless you really enjoy the work, which doesn't tend to happen at that end of the labor pool.

I'm more in favor of providing them with bare necessities and education, but it has to be somewhat unpleasant in order to provide incentive to no longer be homeless. Welfare dorms with shared rooms, strict rules and schedules, extensive monitoring, and compulsory education and rehab if needed. If they can't deal with it, they are free to leave. If they become a problem to others, it stops becoming an option.

I think we've got some house cleaning to do...

Ok, but how are you going to motivate them? Obviously we cannot let the officials hurt themselves as that wouldn't be OSHA compliant. Maybe use tasers?

Like a pepper ball gun that fires rubber balls instead of plastic balls with pepper spray in them. That way they get the motivation to work without the debilitating irritation.

I would hardly call that song country. But country music really has killed itself as a distinct musical genre as it became far more about singing about supposed countriness then it did about keeping a real musical style. Outside of an occasional twang. Compare that to say Funk, Metal, or Punk. All have a distinct style and sound. When I was working my student job the other day I heard something that pretty much sounded like a pop song, but with a slight twang, and the singer talking about "Living in the country". Country Music by becoming a cultural signifier is pretty much dead currently as a genre.

its country, dude. trap country or whatever, but it's still country.

What's the logical conclusion from this too? That only 1% of people are the truly faithful, even if they don't belong to your sect? Do all the rich Jews and Muslims get their money from the Devil? The masses of medieval Europe toiled in abject poverty all their lives, and they all believed in God and took it way more seriously than any American Protestant today.

I still don't know why they haven't just started openly worshipping Mammon. Megachurches and "prosperity gospel" are basically Mammon.txt. Or is it because they fear that they may have to tithe some of their hoard to Mammon?

Alliance Defending Freedom? I knew I'd heard that name before.

Ex-Prime Minister and creepy piece of poo poo monster Tony Abbott has hooked himself to them.

Put it this way - even News.com.au thinks they're too extreme.

quote:

FORMER Prime Minister Tony Abbott is booked to speak for an ultraconservative Christian group in the US — and their aim is to take society back to before the Dark Ages.

The aim, which is listed on the Alliance Defending Freedom’s fellowship website, is to “recover the robust Christendomic theology of the 3rd, 4th and 5th century” — a simpler time when gender inequality and homophobia were openly accepted.
