my bony fealty posted:my partner teaches at a fancy private school and they've been doing all the good lib PR of "black lives matter" since last summer through to "we stand against anti-asian hate" recently by which I mean they send out school-wide emails and force the teachers and staff to attend anti-racism sessions on top of their normal teaching duties, with no extra compensation for the extra time that takes my majority minority school has elections in like 2 weeks for school board and its a full on war between various ultra elite liberals who've never been questioned in their lives (biglaw partners, etc) yelling at each other on facebook about racism. the school board started the last meeting with a 3 minute land acknowledgement, then apologized to jewish people for offending them by asking if school should get rid of the yom kippur and rosh hashanah days off , then apologized to special needs kids parents, then apologized to native americans because the unit about stereotypes of natives being bad, itself had negative stereotypes all this after the superintendent called parents white supremacists in january and said that filing FOIA requests against the school was privilege (technically true but lol). also the atlantic had connor friesdork write a crappy article about some of the BLM unit that was over the head of little kids . i vaguely recall the school having an anti-racist thing in the fall where the speaker told white people their role should be fundraising in addition to property taxes its gonna be a fun couple of years edit oh yeah theres a bunch of whining to the mods because the big parents facebook group says 'district X parents & guardians' and people are mad that their posting enemies are using the district name even though its unofficial

Zero interest in a debate with anyone for any reason, but whenever gun control pops back up I always think about the hundreds of millions of unregistered firearms somewhere in the us and the completely entrenched culture war and wonder how anyone thinks anything can practically be done.

So how could individualists change culture? like we could develop a program to shift away from gun culture or car culture, but it would have to be massive, holistic, comprehensive, and driven by a sense of community need. All non-starters to libs. Like ending American car culture is obviously the more important of the two, and would require massive social involvement and investment. Like not just free courses on EV or bus maintenance like a lib job retraining program, but grants to develop and replace car related hobbies, stuff like paying for EV engines to replace those dope cars that are getting tattled on in Austin. Or establishing government backed mudding clubs to make sure fewer shared vehicles can keep people enjoying their hobbies. But that’s impossible to libs, both because of the communalism, and the lack of punishing people. “You can’t just let the chuds keep mudding, because how will I feel superior!” So instead, we’ll see taxes and penalties, and then libs smugly declaring it wasn’t their fault when it all backfires, since it’s the bad people who are mad, libs can’t be blamed for lovely policies that make them mad.

like if libs actually ever cared about ending a culture of tobacco smoking, of course they should provide alternatives and professional help for free (they don't even do that), but they would mandate that all employees be given smoke break length/frequency breaks even if you don't smoke. but those don't punish the bad people so instead lets just raise taxes and ban the types minorities like.

The gun control stuff will blow over. The house bills are pretty tame, just background checks basically, and even that won't pass the Senate. Dems won't nuke the filibuster, and Biden won't fight that hard for this. I mean it would be funny if he tried to be the Gun Control President, but I think this is just Dems making comforting noises after a shooting. Wait a couple weeks and it'll be out of the news until the next mass shooting.

Maybe, but the scotus case seems like a significant expansion of police power. Not that they wouldn’t do that poo poo anyway, but they’re likely to be able to do it openly and therefore much more often going forward.

Car culture and gun culture are huge parts of American working class culture and attempts to eliminate them are absolutely futile for anyone who hopes to build a political movement based on the American working class. The fact that the same people who keep pushing for the elimination of gas powered cars and guns are also opposed to the full nuclearization of the power grid and demilitarization of the police further convince the American working class that these people (and anyone else who wants to eliminate car/gun culture) is completely full of poo poo and just want to oppress them.

Atrocious Joe posted:is tagalog supremacy a thing. from what I understand yes it is a genuine thing but it's obviously an extremely narrow extremely Philippines community only kinda thing so trying to get some weird tut-tutting in on an article about people who need an area where it's spoken to survive for their basic needs is really kinda gross. Like, she's not wrong but the article isn't about that so it's a weird thing to bring up.

Atrocious Joe posted:is tagalog supremacy a thing. not really * people from Manila tend to look down on people from the provinces as backwards yokels, but that's more of a class or urbanite-vs-rural thing. * the Duterte campaign popularized the "Imperial Manila" talking point, or the idea that Manila is sucking up all of the tax revenue and the government largesse and determines the path of the nation with little or no regard to the provinces. It's not true in the sense that Manila provides more to the provinces than it takes in, and Duterte only did this because he came from Davao so he needed to build an image of "sticking it to the man" as a wedge issue what Ramirez (the person in that tweet) is probably referring to is that Tagalog as the primary language of the Philippines dominates spoken and written language at the expense of other dialects, but I don't really know how it's a problem that doesn't happen purely as the result of a centralized government and the establishment of a nation-state as an identity insofar as indigenous peoples are getting forcibly removed from their lands by the military to open up lands for commercial exploitation, what language they're speaking is kinda low on the totem pole of concerns

Organ Fiend posted:Car culture and gun culture are huge parts of American working class culture and attempts to eliminate them are absolutely futile for anyone who hopes to build a political movement based on the American working class. again, as long as it is libs doing it sure. but working class people are perfectly willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, but that requires both being honest about what's happening and also making their sacrifice proportional to their ability. both of those are things the current dems refuse to consider. if we had confiscated the private planes and taken the wealth of the fossil-based rich, then people would be more willing to accept going to the sideshow track or waiting for their designated driving-for-pleasure day. if we made sure people would never starve or be homeless then people would be more willing to accept transportation options that aren't as consistent as POVs. but since libs can only offer taxes, tax rebates, and fines, all of that is impossible to them.

I posted this earlier, but TBH, I think the biggest focus should be on mandates that track guns, owners, and physical security of guns. For example: All gun stores need to have enough physical security so they can't get easily broken into , such as metal shutters, concrete bollards, all guns/ammos stored in a safe every night. For a specific example of the issue with not having that security, I think at least 2 guns used in homicides last summer in the Twin Cities were stolen from gun shops in the area a few months prior National gun purchase registry National mandated training to be able to buy a gun/ammo (e.g. driver ed requirements for cars). Something beyond a single day to deter people from casually thinking "a gun might be nice" without knowing much about them All guns need to come equipped with a gun lock (maybe even a gun safe that the manufacturer supplies?) All gun owners need to report a stolen gun within X days If a gun gets stolen because it wasn't property stored (or the owner didn't properly report it) and a crime gets committed with it, the gun owner needs to be held responsible for that crime. I think things like these would be a good start to having an actual impact on gun deaths in our country.
