Trump is going to walk up to the barn door, toilet paper stuck on shoe, say something incoherent, not attempt to close it, and then poo poo himself, loudly. This is in no particular order.

This is in no particular order. People are making GBS threads themselves more and more, many people are saying. You love to see it folks. Very unfair Fake News Media, who I'm calling the Enemy of the People, won't report when Sleepy Joe shits himself. You see those cameras in back? When Biden shits his pants, they all turn off. Click! Where's Hunter? A very handsome soldier came up to me and said "sir, I think windmills are worse than making GBS threads yourself." And he's right! The windmills, badoom boom boom (mimes wind turbine) they're killing all the birds! And some say they cause cancer. But if you're watching TV even if it's Tivo you can't if there's no wind.

Feldegast42 posted:Trump literally approved (well, blocked the condemnation of) the invasion in the UN.  and helps resurrect ISIL just so they can do their "demographic corrections" which is the most Orwellian-rear end phrase I've heard since "alternative facts"This whole incident has left me very sad and very pissed off. With our presence we were helping the Kurds survive and form their own nation, a group who both fights the hell out of Fascists and ISIL, a group who genuinely liked us, and the GOP once again has betrayed them, for money (basically). This has probably cost the United States our relationship with the Kurds for good, and I don't blame the Kurds at all for that. They need to survive in the face of an overwhelming genocidal force. If that means signing deals with Russia (who will probably betray them at some point) and Iran, then so be it. Additionally we now have US troops in a warzone unable to do anything because they don't even know what their orders are to the point where an alleged ally is shelling them. In addition to all the Kurdish lives being lost and at risk, we're also going to lose lives of US forces for no other reason than Trump's lack of spine and personal greed. gently caress The Hague, we should just black-bag Trump and Graham, fly them into Kurdistan, and let the Kurds judge them for what they've done. Yes, I know, that will never happen. I really need a break from all this terrible news but at the same time I feel like I have to know how bad this is getting and will get.

My mom, dad, brother all make 200-300k with no college degree with businesses https://opportunityinsights.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/abs_mobility_paper.pdf quote:We find that rates of absolute mobility have fallen from approximately 90%for children born in 1940 to 50% for children born in the 1980s. No, social mobility has dropped significantly even in the last few years and blaming it on 'lazy millenials' is yet another victim blaming troupe. In fact exactly the opposite of your bootstraps == increased income is true. Workers born in the 1940's (i.e. boomers) were way more likely to be members of unions, work hourly at the same company for long stretches of time, not have massive college debt, and retire with a modest pension. Yet 90% made more money than their parents* with those 'trading time for low $' jobs. The problem is not on the labor side, but the capital side. Capital has been able to gut worker protections, collective bargaining, and pensions all of which contribute to the lack of social mobility. Your rags to riches immigrant stdh.txt is interesting but exactly the opposite of reality. Well-paid workers with social stability do better overall than those without.

A leftist believes in kindness first and foremost. There has been people projecting that flavor of nonsense since we've had written word, so probably prior to that. The problem is, conservatives don't understand the concept of fighting words.

Eh, for me part of it is how tasteless it is (shootings in religous buildings having gone up since Trump took office), combined with it feeling like a really dumb, teen edge-lord type of thing to do, but not treated as seriously as if a teenager had done it. Like, if someone in high school made a video like this, with them shooting classmates they didn't like, people would be alarmed, and that kid would probably get expelled. Here everyone either laughs or gets pissed off, but nothing will ultimately be done. sexpig by night posted:their current talking point is because this testimony isn't in front of literally all of congress it's fake, so expect this to be spring-boarded to "WOW WHAT ARE THE DEMS TRYING TO HIDE HUH???" The GOP relying on the general public's ignorance of how Congress works is sadly going to be effective to a degree.

It's all the same sophomoric mentality SA had back when we were all in highschool/college and thought shock humor and photoshoping Darfur orphans was the pinnacle of comedy. Except we all woke up at some point and realized we're goddamn adults who have to do adult things and care about the world and they just kept hiding behind irony and lovely memes.

By and large, Americans are bored by process arguments, and the fact that Republicans are stuck with them this time around is extremely good. To most people the details of how stuff happens don't matter and being on the side that has to explain how things are supposed to happen is unenviable. Historically it's been the Dems in that spot. Incidentally, this is also why there would be next to no blowback from doing important process things like abolishing the filibuster, just as there was none from previous filibuster rollbacks. Only the most insufferable politics nerds like us give a poo poo.

It's the same reason the 'you have to vote to let the republicans subpoena people too!!!!' argument is failing to gain traction, the rebuttal is literally just 'no, we actually don't'.

Tim Raines IRL posted:This whole alarmist cry of "the left is abandoning free speech as an ideal!!!!>!>!!>!" is just an idiotic talking point, and lunatics like Kerning Chameleon are the just a fringe we should mock and ignore, right? "Free speech" as written into the constitution was very much about the whole liberal "marketplace of ideas" that the left loves to mock. Is slavery a good thing or not? I dunno, let's hear from both sides of the issue and let the white males decide. That sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not. Pretend I've summarized a huge chunk of On Liberty if you want a basic rundown of the logic involved in every idea, no matter how vile, being given a fair hearing. (Btw - written just before the Civil War. Slavery was not the paramount concern for a British philosopher at the time, but the most prominent example of public debate he could think of, with evolution theory being introduced at the same time) Retroactively, a fairly commonly cited example of "vile ideology actually gains in power when given room for debate" is Nazism, obviously (hence the Paradox of tolerance, before it was mostly stolen by the right to use against the mooslim hordes). I can't really accurately chart how these principles were abandoned: probably some combination of actually leftist ideas being popularized in the US again and disdain for right-wing propaganda / radicalization. But right now, there's a definite popular sentiment of "Nazis don't deserve a platform to spread their lies, every public or private organization should ban radical right-wing speech". Which... fair enough on its own. But the left always though of the right (and the center-right liberals) as basically fascist and fascist book-lickers anyway, and hasn't been shy about stating as much. The combination of the two - nazis don't get to speak and everyone to the left of me is a nazi - is worrying. I get that that's a right-wing talking point, but gently caress it - they have a lot of talking points, they're bound to get somewhere close to the truth in their claims of persecution at least once in a while.

Xander77 posted:I'd say that's definitely the case though. There's a simple subtext, speech calling for the murder, enslavement, financial destruction and marginalization of readily identifiable human beings is at best, evil. The paradox of intolerance unfortunately plays into the neo liberal trap of all speech having a baseline value, whereas hate speech without social normalization would get you thrown out of communities. It's the same warping of the baseline as 2nd amendment advocates insisting they need all guns with no restrictions.
