Like is that they are more hateful or apathetic or is it because 1,000 miles away or 500 miles away or 100 miles away has becomes "Here be dragons"? Or both? I think it's a case of people not really being inclined to take action against something unless it affects them personally at that very moment.

Kurzon posted:Is this the right place to mention this? Steve Bannon planned to open a school for the alt-right in an old Italian monastery, but I recently learned via Reddit that the Italians have revoked his lease because he forged a document and didn't pay the fees. I looked up the monastery in question (Certosa di Trisulti) and it's in the middle of loving nowhere, in the mountains. What was Steve Bannon thinking? Did he watch Batman Begins and think "Hey, I should get me a remote mountain lair where I can train alt-right ninjas!" From what I recall, that's not too far from the truth. He saw what he thought was an opening to push the catholic church to the right, by doing something sort of like what the Federalist Society is doing to our courts. Guess it didn't pan out, what a shame. haveblue fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jun 1, 2019 |

Random Stranger posted:You can make disingenuous, dishonest arguments to a court and at the supreme court you're not introducing new facts to the case, you're arguing that the law was not settled correctly at the lower court. So, no consequences there. You absolutely can get sanctioned for making misleading argument or misrepresentations to an appellate or Supreme Court. If you commit evidentiary shenanigans at the trial level and then continue to be dishonest on appeal, each court can sanction you. Lying to the court falls under the court’s inherent power to sanction. The Supreme Court could issue sanctions themselves, but they see so few cases and usually only from top tier attorneys that they’d probably “strongly suggest” a trial court sanction the attorney just because it’s not something they normally have to deal with They could also get barred from federal courts or face disciplinary action from whatever state gave them a bar card EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jun 1, 2019 |

Ice Phisherman posted:Go to the buffet after church. You're in your best. The haircut you have is like your wife's, but yours is a toupee. Hers is held aloft by so much hairspray that it's a fire hazard. Your daughter is still in her daughter/daddy purity ball dress. The purity rings are low quality metal, but you know a machinist and you'll have your high quality material. You know the machinist personally. The one who degloved his hand that one time? Well he has another hand and he gave your daughter something that won't ever be fitted to her finger and it slides around, occasionally falling off. Good steel though. American steel. Her purity ball dress is too tight. Your pride and joy son is doomed to become the president of the United States one day. And because it'll be 2067 by that point, it'll be from the back of a technical as he shouts to a starving crowd through a microphone because most of the US is underwater, seceding or irradiated. This, uh....kinda feels like my childhood somewhat. The hairspray line brings back the memories and smells of Sunday mornings. I'd always wake late and have to throw on my church clothes running out the door. But the alarm that always woke me was grandma emptying a can or two of hairspray into her old lady perm since my room was right across the hall from the bathroom/"parlor room". After church it was one of two places to go. Either we came home and ate a fancy chicken dinner at home all still dressed in our best, or hit the local Elias Brothers (aka Big Boy) where my sister and I would get scolded if we managed to dirty any of our clothing. Everyone was pure on this day till about 4 in the afternoon when the olds got tired and went for a nap and the parents would finally let us go out to play.

Mr Interweb posted:A couple of months ago, esteemed climatologist, Jordan Peterson tried to downplay climate change by arguing there's more trees now than there were 100 years ago or something, so we don't need to worry. Prolly has to do with back when people were screaming about the bulldozing and clear cutting of forests and rainforests and the whole carbon offsets deal people were buying in to. It's just morons trying to be smug and do that face value bullshit right leaning assholes enjoy doing. "well if A equals B, and B can be stopped by C, and since we have a shitload of C, then A must not exist. Checkmate liberal" Or to put a more situational spin to it "Since republicans are good, and child molesters are bad, all child molesters must be liberals" you know, despite all the info of Republicans being loving guilty as sin

It might be cliche at this point but if you want a good counterargument to Jorp saying "we've got more trees now, the planet is safe!" then tell people to watch Our Planet on Netflix. You can plant as many trees as you want but that doesn't stop biodiversity from going in the shitter when the new growth forests cannot sustain a fraction of the biodiversity of old growth and jungle forests. Also trees don't grow underwater so rising tides and melting polar caps will gently caress us long before we run out of forestry.

Everything else aside at least this poo poo has made my father completely drop the insipid "what we need is a businessman as President" talking point. It is the slightest hint of a silver lining in this hurricane of suffering and incompetence. I'd much rather have to deal with him whining constantly about "liberals" than have Trump.

^ I know what she's trying to say. But persoanly I'm glad the old days of a week or two of news channels waxing poetic about such an event is gone. There Bias Two posted:I think it's a case of people not really being inclined to take action against something unless it affects them personally at that very moment. I dunno. I think when it happens abroad it's the feeling of not being able to really do anything, so why try. But when it's within your own borders, this is something you can effect personally by just showing up and hoping others do too to show your displeasure. Like for example kids starving in Africa. I don't like it but all I can reasonably do is toss some money at charities I have to trust are doing something. At home government is holding innocent people against their will to die within travel distance I can reasonably get to in a car, well loving load up, we're going on a road trip.

Archonex posted:Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong. They're complete trash. But the ideas behind them translated to a lot of good ideas when better writers got a hold of them. The prequels are a strange and wonderful art object- a middle aged man’s attempt to grapple with his feelings on neoliberalism and rising fascism via a portfolio of children’s media in a franchise beloved by other, mostly younger, adult men. Also these critiques of western society were themselves neoliberal as poo poo- made for billions of dollars of studio money and pushing the boundaries of green screen filmmaking to make big visual spectacles that sold billions upon billions in merch and licensing and broke box office records multiple times. These weird, confused, schizophrenic movies were the most lucrative media properties of their era. A rich old technocrat’s anger about Bush subsumed in a technicolor space soap opera. We all agreed that they were terrible at the time they were being made but just kept chucking money at the project and drinking in the spectacle. The Star Wars prequels are the Cremaster Cycle for Everyone Else. 1glitch0 posted:Prester, I have a question for you. I agree with what you're saying, but I'm curious about the cause.

I’m not PJ, but it’s because the dragons are brown people. Alienation, apathy, and depersonalization can be the result of distance or/and difference. Some atrocities are ok because they happen in places thousands of miles away to people who live in a way you can’t relate to. It’s abstracted on the page of a newspaper or a movie screen. Other atrocities are ok because they happen to people you can’t relate to and maybe mistrust, in neighborhoods that you don’t go into and maybe dislike. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jun 1, 2019 |

In my view the country is being emotionally worn down to the point where most people are too numb to care about any problem not immediately in front of them. Its basically gaslighting on a massive scale. Speaking from experience- gaslighting works because you become emotionally worn down over time from constantly questioning what is real and what isnt. When you become stressed and uncertain about what is happening around you- when you have spent so much energy trying to hold yourself together under the onslaught- you start to just accept things as they are.

Technically all of congress and the President speak for us even if they aren’t in our district so he isn’t even right. I’m all for burning down the 2nd amendment at this point. I think it has been willfully misinterpreted for a long time. There is no reason civilians should be able to purchase sound suppressors or high capacity magazines for handguns. What possible argument can be made for this other than “my gun rights.” I know it’s impossible to stop completely since he would have been able to buy a handgun legally, but maybe make it a bit harder to kill a dozen people?
