You said the rampaging horde was “dissembling” a barricade. How gauche.

Frosted Flake posted:So what's the diversity and inclusion angle on... sheltering human beings? The ruling class libs are perfectly fine with crushing the poor, but they know the base libs won't necessarily go along for the ride. The progressive framing is there to fool the base libs, or at the very least give them an excuse to look the other way. It can also be used as a cudgel against anyone in the base who is impudent enough to state that this is a conservative and anti-homeless policy.

HiroProtagonist posted:going on record to say i dont give a gently caress if the racist fucks with badges kill the racist fucks without them and its also entirely consistent to also be against capitalist state sanctioned murder. While I sympathize with this (and it's obviously better than the alternative of supporting said state-sanctioned murder), I still think it's kinda messed up and that people don't properly appreciate exactly what it means to shoot/kill someone A way of reframing it would be to ask whether you'd care about a Republican being raped or tortured (or something else that we generally classify under "the sort of thing it's not okay to wish on other people"). While I'm sure some people would still be fine with this, I imagine it would be a lot fewer than are okay with them being shot (because "being shot" falls under this weird category where we've been conditioned to view it as a very "sterile" type of violence, as opposed stabbing or strangling someone to death, etc).

I mean, chances are a lot of people (likely the vast majority) you interact with on a daily basis count as bad people by this understanding, since nearly everyone in America has views that are functionally terrible. IMO whether people are "bad people" is completely irrelevant and the only thing that matters is whether people have power or not. Violence against people with power - the wealthy, people with political power, law enforcement - is fine, but that's because of "what" they are, rather than some moral judgement. And for anyone outside of that it's not exactly something to encourage, since most people are just subject to our society's propaganda/culture.

"Bad people" lol Yes, we know liberals create their own moral categories to absolve themselves of support for state violence. That's exactly what we're pointing out to mcmagic. You don't add anything by swooping in to pronounce those victims are "bad people" and so you don't care if they die, other than to reinforce the point! Of course you see this as "pearl clutching" because while we're discussing mechanisms of violence and support for violence, you're engaging in the exact same moralism.

PhilippAchtel posted:Three whole paragraphs to let us know you don't care and don't feel the need to defend that. I think the thing that bugs me about this stuff is that I understand where it comes from, but I think it's indicative of a very fundamental flaw in the way someone views the world. Online discourse stuff also plays a big role. There are social pressures to make sure you don't say anything that could vaguely be construed as defending the person who has Bad Opinions. Do these people think that every black person murdered by the police has good opinions about the various social justice topics? This sort of thinking is quickly revealed to be completely insane when you try and apply it more consistently.

gradenko_2000 posted:https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1659244489376923655 I think the whole purpose of the media blitz on getting people to care about a potential default is to try to make people more accepting of the "necessary" compromises the dems intend to make. If no one is scared of the default because we all realize there's no way it's gonna happen as it would make rich people less rich and that's completely untenable in American politics, then it becomes clear any working across the aisle or agreements the dems is just stuff they wanted to do normally. I mean it shouldn't surprise anyone, Biden himself has been gunning for "entitlement" cuts for his entire career, he wants to gut these programs, but they really want a narrative that suggests he "had" to.

I think this encapsulates the toddler-level thinking about good guys vs. bad guys that's turned u.s. political discourse into sewage. "bad things happen to bad people, and of course she deserved to die by cop bc she was bad bc I said so bc she was with chuds & was likely chud herself. No, I won't define chud beyond someone who voted for trump." what about the bad people who are perfectly fine with 80,000 others dying each year bc of being uninsured or underinsured? would you have the cops kill them too?
