After a year or two of conservatives calling J6 an op, they sure seem to just now say 'yeah we wanted to overthrow the government'. So that's somewhat refreshing.

I swear to god, man, do the US flag, punisher, AK47, Thin Blue Line decals and obnoxiously loud pipes on F-150's come pre-installed? I absolutely LOATHE what I see as the ubiquitous performative pseudo patriotism I see everywhere here in NE Florida. It really sucks that the moment I see someone going overboard with USA USA USA branding - or even doing it at all - that I automatically assume they're a fascist. I try REALLY hard not to make snap judgements like that but when someone comes into my work place with a camouflage American flag hat or some poo poo, I can't help myself. Also, I increasingly notice that the regular old US flag is simply not enough anymore. It'll have red/blue lines, fish, guns patterns, black stripes, camo texture, deer antlers, crosses or whatever the gently caress these goobers are trying to tell us about What They Like, Why It's Cool and Why They're The Salt of the Earth that demands immediate respect. "Hey, I'm Earl and I love America, fishing and hunting!" so I'm a good person who votes Republican like a True American!" It's similar to how wound up they get about standing for the anthem, worshipping troops and sucking up to cops. I notice that when they have one of those "I LOVE POLICE" stickers, it's always ALWAYS right there on the rear driver's side so the officer can see it and maybe let the person go with a warning for speeding, rolling coal or violating noise ordinances. Speaking of that, 20 years ago or so, white rednecks were very VERY up in arms about loud cars - specifically ones that amplified the bass on loud hip hop music - to the point that they actually tried to/succeeded in passing laws about it but, now, every god damned Americamobile I drive past goes out of its way to be as loud as humanly possible.

It's okay for your big manly engine to be loud and proud, but they draw the line at loud thumping bass because they're loving racists and they don't need to have internal logical consistency.

BattleHork posted:Thank you for periodically reminding me why I don’t want to move back there. It didn't always used to be this way and was a lot more laid back but it's gotten increasingly MAGA over the last decade or so and the shift in overall mood, temperament and...meanness and anger I guess is very palpable . Plus, at least here in St. Johns County, we're getting a LOT of disgruntled New Yorkers, Phillies, Jerseys and Connecticuts who are fleeing the "liberal nightmare" cities they lived in. And, to be fair to them, their reasons aren't entirely ridiculous or irrational but we're getting the worst of the worst from up north, who were miserable people to start with, and who view whatever Desantis is doing down here as a net positive. People who voted for Trump, love guns and the death penalty but live in NY, DE, NJ or whatever but very few religious zealots; at least to my eyes. Pretty sure that's one of the big reasons that Florida is pretty much blood red now. That, along with a stunningly inept Democratic Party here in this state but that's a whole other subject.

I'm a bit torn, as I don't think it's a bad interview and probably the best that can be done, but this lady is a monster with no shame. You're not going to "have you no decorum!" her. And maybe I'm just terminally online, but I think everybody probably knows her deal already,

I have fallen by the “it is okay to interview these people if you make the interview as adversarial as possible” thought on this interview. Yes, there is no shame inside of this person but you at least get them to showcase how they cannot support their views under even the smallest scrutiny (which they really get any). Lorenz calls her out by continuously asking her follow up questions and she just looks like a dumb person who wore a shirt to try and get the liberal to cry. She cannot back up any of her ideology and even showcases new crassness by showing support for the great replacement theory which she had never endorsed before in public.

 modern conservatism is at its core nurturing a grievance-based tribal machismo which, in males, encultures express hypervigilance to any perceived challenges to their masculinity, which they are conditioned to ward off with recognized rituals and displays of their personal machismo. as we discussed earlier, their ideology is a representation of this, but so are their personal habits and major financial decisions capitalism, already well versed in detecting, amplifying, and exploiting people's personal image insufficiencies, wasted no time in identifying the best way to capitalize upon contemporary republican frailty, especially among younger males and early earners who have little financial education or practical knowledge but are institutionally possessed of new and exploitable credit. Similar to the late precentury advent of military base adjacent dealerships specialized in leasing or financing flashy, impractical sports cars to E-3's at 18% interest, the auto industry has redeveloped the pickup truck from a labor and transportation utility vehicle to a machismo calibration suppository on wheels by deliberately reimaging it as a visual marker of power and masculinity, bulking up the scale and volume of the vehicle chassis beyond practical levels in the same way a bird of paradise deliberately inflames its feathers to assert virility.  the resulting fragile masculinity compensation automobile, still nominally described as a 'pickup,' has sacrificed driver sight lines, fuel economy, maneuverability, mechanical resilience, and most of its actual flatbed cargo towing practicality, but succeeds at capitalism's one and only goal for it: the ability to finance them out to insecure individuals who when all is said and done will have payed $78,000 to $126,000 in combined principal and interest payments remember this, people, it's all going to be on the test. now if you could all turn to the diagrams of the coal rolling assembly, punisher logo stickers, and the thin blue line flag

BiggerBoat posted:Wapo article This reminds me of the show 24, where each season they would latch on to some technical object or process and try to insert it into every episode to seem relevant. I think it was season 3 or 4 where everything had to be data mined - despite data mining being a relatively specific term. Recovered hard drive from a terrorist laptop? Data mine that for me. Broken cell phone found at the scene of a crime? Data mine that for me. Chunk of metal found at the site of a bombing? Data mine that for me. Witness to a crime 7 miles away from anything relevant to the show? Data mine them for me.

This is what a lot of these people do and a lot of them like to be performative hoping to get a reaction. I'm reminded of a time I went to the beach and dude had a huge gently caress JOE BIDEN sign flying next to his truck when I had my 9 year old son with me. When I asked him about the language and pointed out there were a lot of young kids at the beach, the reaction was aggressive and immediate. Ask some angry, loud CHUD to define "woke" and see what you get. For that matter, ask some regular old fashioned GOP voter the same thing and they'll struggle to really define it too. On the rare occasions I engage on this topic, I usually offer that "woke" is just the new "politically correct" and, near as I can tell, both just basically mean "try not to be a mean rear end in a top hat and do your best to respect other people's feelings", which I guess is a bridge too far and a violation of the first amendment or some such poo poo for a lot of people.
