Fame Douglas posted:Except so far, Trump hasn't accepted the invitation. So it's literally Trump not wanting to debate Biden. Nobody gives a poo poo about debate nerd talking points. Trump objectively poo poo all over Clinton during the debates. Sure he was a rambling idiot, but everyone already knew that. The debates showed that Trump was a loud ignorant bully who was still somehow smart enough to dunk on Clinton's more transparent lies, which is the platonic ideal of a modern republican leader.

gradenko_2000 posted:I feel like you've just had bad luck. Insofar as I've heard of some really bad "left-wing" youtubers like that guy linked earlier, and some that I've rejected of my own accord as being disagreeable, there are also a couple that I've genuinely learned some theory from, or at least have gotten book references that prompted me towards my own learning. Its entirely possible I just hang out in lovely internet spaces and consequently get lovely links from people who only vaguely associate me with 'angry about the government'

Nix Panicus posted:Every 'breadtube' video I have ever been linked has been some anarchist idiot trying to pretend they aren't really an ancap, but wouldnt an ancap society make more sense when you think about it? Ancaps want to preserve the heirarchy of boss and employee of they in fact want to expand that relationship to every aspect of human interaction so they can sell and purchase slave kids. Anarchists don't want this and they are pretty okay and would be a fine ideaology if only they could figure out what to do about the capitalist insurgency that will inevitably come after the means of production is seized. Essentially anarchists are like protestors. They are an essential part of the revolution but you can't exactly build a new society based entirely off of protesting.

gradenko_2000 posted:These were my recommendations when I was picking out books I'd read from ebook website Scribd. Not a lot of the classical Marxist literature on the list below - I can throw out some recs on that too if you'd like, but I was specifically aiming to not really get into those in the spirit of promoting "more readable" contemporary work. Quoting this so I can find it easier when I get around to learning how to read

Trump is honestly probably better at debating than any living politician because seems to be the only one that gets that the only reason people watch debates is because they want to see politicians get humiliated and they want their guy to poo poo on the opposition and he delivers.

people keep forgeting that trump didnt actually win the debates polling was pretty clear that hilary did albeit by a fairly modest margin what trump accomplished at the debates was convincing supporters he was a fighter who would go to the mat for their interests no one knew this at the time because we all thought hilary would win then 11/9 happened and everyone learned the chuds were way more motivated than anyone realized given the piss poor enthusiasm of biden voters youd think they could use a serious rally moment but nope why would we want to do that when we could just run ads about how joes a great dad for two months

Radish posted:Pretty much everyone is done with the extreme social distancing we had at the begining of the pandemic. If Biden says they can't have a debate where he is six feet from Trump I don't know how that doesn't come off as extremely weak to anyone outside the Democratic superfans, especially if he's supposed to be the guy solving the issue. Like if Target employees can get to work what's his excuse? That feels like it just leads into "Biden is too scared of covid to show up, why should you brave it to vote?" attacks very easily. this plus sports people are being forced to play games so we have live TV anyway and plus he debated Bernie way back at the beginning of peak covid frenzy soooooo he a bitch lol

https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1290115412445732864 What does the Uighur genocide have to do with TikTok being as terrible at privacy protection as every U.S. Silicon Valley company? Are they going to use the data people provide by commenting on cat videos to further that. Why not just decry the Uighur genocide in the first place? Then he's all "anyone who knows me knows I've decried Silicon Valley's handling of privacy" but no one said anything otherwise. That doesn't have to do with rhetorical focus on a topic. By analogy, it's like if a Democrat spent all day hammering on Palestinian violations of human rights, which exist, before retreating to "oh, you know I've criticized Israel as well", except that's imperfect because blame isn't equal on all sides on that issue and it's equal on all sides on this issue. There are also a bunch of leftists in the comments denying that there's a Uighur genocide because of the initial reporting by an American panelist who's a born-again evangelist, ignoring that there have been a lot of articles like https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/23/china-footage-reveals-hundreds-of-blindfolded-and-shackled-prisoners-uighur since then galenanorth has issued a correction as of 14:47 on Aug 4, 2020 |

galenanorth posted:What does the Uighur genocide have to do with TikTok being as terrible at privacy protection as every U.S. Silicon Valley company? "China is genociding the Uighurs" is held up as proof of China being an authoritarian/totalitarian/dictatorial state, and once you believe that, then you draw a line from it, to "China is using Tiktok to scan your phone for data and is beaming it back to Beijing", and so therefore Tiktok needs either be banned, or be sold to Microsoft so that Microsoft can "oversee security and privacy concerns" over the use of the app.

watching language evolve in the multiple different formats we use it nowadays and what is being said or not said and why and how it is being said is one of the most fundamentally fascinating parts of being human imagine being so soft brained that you can't even realize what is being talked about with very simple new words as shorthands, or even simple abbreviations like ancap sounds like a biden voter

Hot take: Microsoft is actually a better steward of any given online property than any other US tech giant would be, because they have spent a couple decades being so incompetent they are not in contention to rule the entire world anymore Better MS than Amazon or Google or Facebook any day, and obviously better them than Apple
