CascadeBeta posted:Donald Trump legitimately makes me hope that there's an afterlife, and that his personal hell is being reminded of how much of a failure he is for all of eternity. You're really not going to like some new trends of thought in certain denominations which have decided that Hell is really just willfully choosing to not be one with God in the afterlife. Lake of fire? Nope. Think self-imposed time out until your soul gets right with the LORD. Maybe they'll make an exception.

Doesn't that imply that Obama is the sun, or in other words a hugely impressive ball of nuclear fusion that gives us all our energy and traps us gravitationally? Whereas Trump is the moon, a small rock that formed from a collision of a bigger rock on the earth. Also this means Trump is slowly moving outwards in his orbit from the earth. Something something black guy, I'm white. White power.

Can't find the original post where they linked this article but it really is a pro-click: https://thebaffler.com/latest/the-p...campaign=buffer quote:To understand Trump is also to understand his appeal as an aspirational brand to the worst people in the United States. What his intransigent admirers like most about him—the thing they aspire to, in their online cosplay sessions and their desperately thirsty performances for a media they loathe and to which they are so helplessly addicted—is his freedom to be unconcerned with anything but himself. This is not because he is rich or brave or astute; it’s because he is an rear end in a top hat, and so authentically unconcerned. The howling and unreflective void at his core will keep him lonely and stupid until the moment a sufficient number of his vital organs finally resign in disgrace, but it liberates him to devote every bit of his being to his pursuit of himself. Actual hate and actual love, as other people feel them, are too complicated to fit into this world. In their place, for Trump and for the people who see in him a way of being that they are too busy or burdened or humane to pursue, are the versions that exist in a lower orbit, around the self. Instead of hate, there is simple resentment—abject and valueless and recursively self-pitying; instead of love, there is the blank sucking nullity of vanity and appetite.

Red Baron posted:Oh, don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that the people getting roasted the most (spacekin, helicopterkin, the one where you're actually a god, though that at least has some loose philosophical underpinnings...) are the smallest minority of people who actually have -kin stuff as part of their core identity. I think that's weird in the sense that, no, you are definitely not part wolf, but they should be able to have that if it helps them understand who they are. It's not hurting anyone, and those people tend to not be raving lunatics. Weirdo crazy people identities are fun to make fun of but it's really obvious they end up being baby's first training wheels sometimes towards attacking other sorts of perceived "deviants" and they get gross in the way people use the really dumb stuff that barely even exists as ammo to stir it in with more legitimate stuff. Like the way the post put spacekin, which is not a genuinely felt identity that more than like maybe 4 people hold with stuff like gender fluid which is a generally accepted real thing.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I know it's like 90% of what somethingawful is built on but it always feels weird when people go off on stuff like "spacekin" or people that think they are attack helicopters or whatever, like it's a demographic with a couple dozen people who are either joking, mentally ill or talking about some real feeling in their life that they are explaining poorly in a way that makes them seem weird. Like it IS funny, but I always vaguely assume that people that have beefs with "tumblr people" teens and their half hearted nonsense identities at 30 are going to be the people that are super angry when they are 60 about some real thing that teens are actually doing that is actually real. The internet has changed and so has the country. Ten years ago making fun of furries was relatively harmless "holy poo poo, people on the internet are weird". Today singling someone out like that is nigh-literally painting a target on their back.

It would also mean that Trump's prominence is only a passing event, notable mainly for its novelty with no real lasting effects, and shortly Obama will return to beam down on us all for several more years, providing the energy the planet needs to support all life. So no, I don't think they thought about it for even a second.

Like the way the post put spacekin, which is not a genuinely felt identity that more than like maybe 4 people hold with stuff like gender fluid which is a generally accepted real thing. Completely fair. I do think there's virtue in some ridicule, however. Take Fictionkin, for example. This is one that I know encompasses more than a handful of people, but which I find inherently preposterous. If you identify strongly with a fictional character to the point where you believe you actually were that character some ridicule of your position might be helpful in pointing out that by definition fictitious things are made up. On the other side of that coin, nearly everyone in the world has identified with a fictional character. I think the majority of us take a look at why we identified with them and what that tells us about ourselves. If you use kin types to uncover greater personal truths then go to town. If you choose the "No, I was Geralt of Rivia in a prior life" hill on which to die, I'm going to suggest that a healthy level of ridicule from other people is appropriate and healthy. Now, how often the internet can be said to maintain a "healthy level" of anything is probably a similar number to "number of times I will win the lottery jackpot this year" but that's a different discussion. I will say that anonymous dogpiling is not productive, and definitely is just us patting ourselves on our backs for laughing at the silly people. Wherever possible, I've tried to engage people with beliefs I found strange in a non-anonymous way instead of taking their posts to another site for some internet points. At least this way if I decide to get snarky with them, they know who to address in reply.

I would imagine defaulting would do a serious number on the dollar so hoarding currency seems just as ineffective as leaving your money in the bank.

The debt ceiling debate will go like all of them have so far, both sides will blame it on the other, the government will probably shut down for a week while people tell Congress to get their poo poo together, and then the ceiling will eventually be raised. Apparently the Republicans think that raising it is good now so lol

RuanGacho posted:The only one even thinking about it is Trump, and the more he tries to make it a thing the more likely the GOP, wishing to stay employed is suddenly going to find Obama's counsel on the subject wise, as absurd as that may seem. So this is Trump just playing out his stupid fight with Congressional Republicans? Honestly, as long as he's willing to sign the bill when it gets to him I'm fine with it. Well, that and the GOP being smart enough to pass a debt ceiling extension instead of talking about household income bullshit. I mean, it's obvious to me now that we're having another government shutdown this year. I just want it to now be timed with a massive, synchronized global depression. I can handle unemployment or being off work for awhile, I just get mortified at the whole international system coming tumbling down right as we're getting a disgusting rise in ethno-nationalism around the world.
