FFS the cops aren't even dead. They'll be fine. The guy who shot them is going to be hunted down and probably murdered by a police hit squad. Cry me a loving river Ramirez.

Rall: First Elect Obama, Then Move Left!

Ted Rall posted:

Some liberals see politics like football, in which moving the ball closer to the goal means you are winning. Thus they are encouraging progressives to vote for Joe Biden, arguing that Biden’s centrism would be an improvement over Trump. Biden, they say, can be pressured more easily from the left than Trump. But that’ds not at all what happened when Biden’s boss was president.

Jurassic Park is all about how CEOs put profits above safety, and so are several other books he wrote. But then there's poo poo like Rising Sun which is about why the Japanese are not to be trusted, or Disclosure which is about how hard it is to be a man falsely accused of rape.

Constantly pretending not to understand the riots are about response and accountability, not (well, much less) that a crime happened in the first place.

Will the shooter walk free after a jury of other gunmen decides he didn't actually commit a crime? Because then I could see motive for a protest march. I mean, if this scenario repeated itself thousand of times year after year.

Netflix released a film called Cuties, that was supposed to be a critical look at sexualization of girls at a young age. The way Netflix marketed it was incredibly bad (pictures of young girls in weird positions) so natually QAnon types said Netflix was showing child porn without watching it. Here's an article on it:

You think reality is a circle of salt around my brain keeping witches out?
The chud and Qanon line about Cuties is that Netflix is now literally distributing child pornography, so the government has a vested interest in shutting it down, arresting executives, and whatnot.

Which, y'know, isn't true, but the usual suspect politicians are all calling for a DOJ investigation. It fits well with their whole "degeneracy of the West" line they keep pushing, and they figure that, hey, they got The Hunt cancelled (or at least delayed), this will be an even BIGGER trophy!

Whoever is in charge of marketing at Netflix sure hosed up bad.

The whole Cuties thing seems like some particularly dumb virtue signaling. Like, people REALLY need other people to know that they think pedophilia is bad even though that's the point of the film. I don't care if Netflix did a poo poo job marketing it either.

I know a lot of the complaints are "they're SHOWING what's essentially child porn in order to condemn it???" but I don't really see how you do a documentary on child pageants without showing how disgusting and exploitative they are. If we're going on the logic that "it will just attract pedos" then we also need to have some words with like the Disney Channel and probably 70% of the anime genre.

It's not really about pedophilia though? I mean sure there's a focus on how young pre-teens are influenced to sexualize themselves to be cool and fit-in, and while the girls in the movie are aware of the connotations of what they are doing, they certainly and naturally don't see themselves nor do they want to be considered as sexualized. They find the dancing and the dances to be super-fun, and frankly dancing is fun, whatever the style.

It's the vehicle that was chosen by the director to also represent a French girl's path to breaking with her immigrant family's traditions, especially the one that is requiring her mother to cheerfully put up with her father marrying a second wife. In the process of acting out she's also discovering herself as an individual. But this is getting off-topic and I'll take it to Ciné-D if necessary.

quote:

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME THE PARTY OF LIES, TYRANNY, AND SEDITION.
Today’s Democrats represent global corporations, central banks, the global elite, and the Military Industrial Complex. They represent socialism. They represent gun control, open borders and abortion. They represent Silicon Valley and blatant censorship. They represent big government, higher taxes, and tyranny. They represent the destruction of the United States.

The Democratic Party doesn’t care about the middle class or if people have jobs. They want a ‘Green New Deal and ‘climate change’ action, which means the mass destruction of energy jobs. “Lunch Bucket” Joe Biden told coal miners that he would shut down their jobs and that they should ‘learn to code.’

The Democrats want universal basic income. It’s a pittance designed to keep desperate serfs dependent on Lord Big Government. They want a cashless society to further control their serfs.

We’ve already lost a lot of our rights. Thanks to rogue agencies such as the NSA, CIA, and FBI, our privacy and Fourth Amendment are gone. Thanks to the social media barons, our First Amendment is being obliterated. Google, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube obey China, not our Constitution. If China Joe is elected, he will attack our Second Amendment.

The Democrats are now running their ‘pandemic’ game plan. Bill Gates and his medical goon, Dr. Fauci, made sure the Wuhan virus lab was fully funded. Masks are required just because Democrat mayors and governors say so. It’s about compliance, not safety. It’s a scam. Very few have died from the coronavirus. They quarantined and locked down millions of Americans who weren’t sick. Next the medical tyrants will demand we all get jabbed with their mandatory, DNA-altering vaccine that comes with tracking technology. It’s the mark of the beast.

Hydroxychloroquine? It works, but according to corporate news and Silicon Valley media, we must ignore that and pay attention only to the global health “authorities.’ Obey Bill Gates, who has successfully purchased ’science’ and scientists for his own ends.

Masks and vaccines are not about keeping us well. They’re about making us slaves. Dementia Joe Biden wants to make social distancing and masks a law. Wearing a dehumanizing mask will become a permanent requirement for the slaves. The slave masters won’t have to wear them. We’ve already seen Nancy Pelosi and Dr. Fauci pull theirs down when they thought they were off camera.


If they can’t beat Trump fair and square, the Democrats will engineer a coup. It will be supported by massive amounts of propaganda and lies. Nancy Pelosi has already condemned Trump and the GOP as ‘domestic enemies.’ Obama’s generals and Deep State functionaries have also railed against Trump. They say he is “dangerous.”

The Democrats have become the party of lies, tyranny, and sedition.

QAnon is the new Biggest Umbrella Conspiracy, it's already in the death spiral of declaring objective measurable reality an enemy, and those who believe in it are incredibly vulnerable to picking up every other conspiracy because "do you check facts" is one of their primary filters.

Conservatives keep doing this where something bad happens, the justice system works like we all think it should, and they go "WHERE ARE THE PROTESTS"

Like, you motherfuckers, the whole point of protests is because we want things to change. Some dude murders a kid? He should be arrested and tried for murder. It's terrible that it happened, but if he gets arrested, put in jail, and tried for murder, well... that's why we have the systems we do. A COP killed a kid and drat near nothing happened to him. That's something people protest about because they want it to change.
