AnEdgelord posted:I dont think you quite remember how that went down because the big thing that happened with that movie wasnt a controversy around its banning in North Korea but the alleged North Korea hack of sony servers with the hackers threatening sony if they released it to theaters. In retrospect probably either a disgruntled ex-employee loving with them or a marketing stunt gone very very wrong since theaters did actually refuse to carry the movie and they had to release it on Netflix. I mean nobody with a functioning brain bought that North Korea was the hackers.

Nah, this was a bit more generalized and several people had their own personal way of affecting the country over it, including Romney and Jason Alexander.

crazy eyes mustafa posted:This was such an obvious crap marketing ploy on Sony's part. "Look how controversial this movie is, it's banned in North Korea!" Well of loving course it's going to be banned, you made a movie specifically designed to be banned and hence drum up controversy. Rich people not ostracised from the world economy might sue you.

I'm pretty sure they've expressed the idea before that Republicans want to win while Democrats just want to play the game right, but I really enjoyed the way they get into it in the latest ep. They involve both the character of the individuals, and the material incentives, and neither one alone would be a good enough analysis.

Yup, they put it in a succint and scary way. Conservatives want power, and if grabibng power pisses off the people they hate, even better. Liberals want to get a gold star for good behavior, and hey, if they lose because the other guy is a cheating bully, they come across as looking EXTRA noble! And since they don't experience actual consequences for losing, it's a self-perpetuating cycle.

also the idea that the worse the democrats gently caress up, the higher the stakes become, and that means you have to vote for them even harder because they’ve raised the stakes by repeatedly loving up rings very true

watching matt's latest stream where he's talking for what feels like the hundredth time about how voting is just an idiosyncratic, personal choice that doesn't matter that much which is true. but i'm surprised he never seems to talk about the larger issue, which is that contributing time, effort, and money to campaigns is probably more effective than voting, especially if you're already in a solid blue state. and beyond voting, are the biden people suggesting that committed bernie voters should be making calls or knocking doors for biden? contributing money to him? trying to persuade undecided voters? how far is the left supposed to go to support a candidate that offers them nothing to fend off the monsters that he absolutely will not protect them from

Still lolling that the debate ended with Trump telling his base to stand guard at polling stations, and Biden's answer to this call for voter intimidation was "vote" In case you had any doubts that Biden would capitulate to Trump if there's a 2000 rerun, there you go. I really think Trump had the stronger showing because he made Biden look weak, mobilized his own base with calls to action, and probably depressed some turnout for Biden by the way he got Biden to disavow anyone a millimeter to his left

Biden proved he is alive and can walk and hold a simple conversation. Otherwise, yeah, it was a poor show. I really hope people are yearning for a safe boring grandpa after the rollercoaster of the last years. Trump was his loud rear end in a top hat self, and at this point we cannot pretend that large swathes of the country don't like it. Either because they are assholes themselves, or see it as being assertive. I don't see how they can do two more of these. Why don't they have the moderator mute the microphone of whomever is not supposed to be speaking? Well, because they care about the spectacle. Missing out on Trump's crazy antics would hurt ratings!

The best part of the stream was when Matt started calling Biden “a genetic bitch” and it’s probably the fastest phrase has immediately injected itself into my normal rotation.
