Fanky Malloons posted:Can we at least all agree that Feliz Navidad is one of the better Christmas tunes, though? Maybe if you live in Opposite World. Every single person covers that song, and it literally made me stop browsing in a store and checkout when it came on last week. It sucks, it makes people feel falsely "inclusive of The Others," and oh yeah, it sucks.

chitoryu12 posted:That's actually a common misconception! The song was written in a time when it would be considered improper for a lady to spend the night at a man's house when they weren't married, and in general women were viewed with a suspicious eye if they did anything vaguely unscrupulous like show independence. The woman's dialogue in the song points out all the reasons why she shouldn't stay even though she wants to, like her gossipy aunt or the neighbors thinking poorly of her. As such, it wasn't uncommon back then for women to pass off such decisions by claiming to be under the influence. Rather than a song about date rape, it's a song about two lovers using the pretext of alcohol and bad weather to spend the evening together without suspicion. This was also a time where it was pretty universally accepted that it was impossible for a man to rape his wife. Like, I get what you mean, it is meant to be read that way. But that coy flirtation poo poo was also a built in excuse for any guy to say, "but really she wanted it, why else was she alone with me?"

They were just making up excuses due to the social constraints of the time. "What's in this drink" is not questioning if there is a roofie. She's just playing along. But I can see how in this day it is interpreted otherwise. Context is important. It was originally sung buy a husband and wife, letting their friends know it was time to go. Unless they wanted to stay and be uncomfortable as they got their freak on.

And I know that's how the song was written. No one is actually suggesting that it was written intending to depict a rape. Everyone is just calling out how convenient it was for awful men of the time that a woman acting coy was the exact same as a woman trying to say no. If you don't think that the idea that a woman had to put on a show of saying no was used as an excuse to commit rape more than a few times in those days, I don't know what to tell you.

Of course, by "like" I mean that it doesn't make me instantly want to tear off all my skin and douse my raw flesh with vinegar. It gives me at a reprieve from wishing for death of at least 90 seconds.

Civilizations are by definition at their peak when in the process of domestication of undesirables. Eventually this leads to a cultural and moral idiocracy of the populace. Happened with every single "civil"ization throughout the entire history of mankind. Egyptians (slavery, mass social inequality, the influence of Christianity and Islam destroyed Egyptian culture), Greeks (homosexuality and degeneracy), Mesopotamians (overcrowding leading to pollution and drought (same thing is happening to Egypt currently)), Mayans (overpopulation, social unrest and tribal warfare), Aztecs (ritual sacrifices leading to the death of its working class), Chinese Empire (opium trade and addiction), various Indian empires (slavery, social and class inequalities), Romans (slaves had more rights by the end of the Roman Empire, privileged classes cared more about loving everybody than teaching their children values (also the reason Christianity was able to fill the societal void after Rome fell; it taught familial unity and moral virtues, even though the source material itself was suspect). All of these civilizations are similar in that all of them are inevitably overpopulated due to an excess of resources gathered by the vast minority constituents of the state (i.e. farmers, traders), and thus when the inevitable breaking point comes the majority of the civilization cannot survive on their own. This is exacerbated by social and class divides that are rarely found in tribal and other much smaller societies. Modern western civilization is just another case of overpopulation, social and class divides, and a great cultural degeneracy of ungrateful and disrespectful constituents. The liberals in America and Western Europe are creating corporate slaves of the populace, flooding their countries with biologically and socially unfit individuals (the poorest and stupidest and thus the future of their new countries), and teaching their children that history is irrelevant and nationalism is irrelevant. The vast majority of these people would not be able to survive if not for the parental supervision and provision of excess resources that are characteristic of civilization. Why do you think that the most overpopulated areas on Earth are also the poorest? Because they would not be able to survive at any other point in history if not for "civil"ization. Multiculturalism, i.e. "civil"ization, is the death of humanity. And ultimately the death of the planet if we assume that the use of thousands of nukes in wartime is an inevitability. All you have to do is look at modern multiracial and multicultural societies: India, Brazil, South Africa. Mass class divides and no one group cares about another group more than their own ethnic group. You can't have a country with hundreds of ethnic groups that's governed only by a few (like India) and not expect an imbalance in power and massive political corruption. South Africa has big problems with nepotism and its government not trusting the white populace. Brazil has poverty, race and class divides, race wars. This may be the reason for "The Great Filter", the cause of why civilizations cannot reach their full potential, because the sheer numbers of domesticated inhabitants that make up a civilization are what lead to its downfall as well. It's a matter of quantity vs. quality of the constituents of a group of people. The west cannot thrive without the spoils of war, which means that World War 3 is an inevitability, if not with Trump then with someone else 20-30 years down the line when this crony and imperialist capitalism starts to collapse in on itself. Rise and fall. Alternate universes and realities. Same outcomes.

Ibogaine posted:Does anyone actually believe in the "war on christmas"? Yes, many people believe in it. You gotta remember that there are large areas of the country where Christianity is so thoroughly entrenched that nobody really pays it any mind as anything other than just normal life, and also a fairly decent chunk of people within those areas who genuinely believe that Christianity* is the one okay thing to do, and literally everything else is something Satan is doing to get people to not be Christians. For the former group, it's just freaking out because "Things were normal before and then we let the Hannukah and Kwanzaa people do their thing and that was fine and we all got along, but now people are saying it's bad to say Merry Christmas and I don't understand why so I think it's bullshit." (These also tend to be people who have not knowingly spoken to any non-Christians in their daily lives.) For the latter, it's an extension of the idea that there's this constant war with the forces of Satan because Satan is evil and so we have to oppose him, and we can tell Satan stuff because it's basically anything that makes you feel a strong emotion and/or something other than what you grew up with. In both cases, it's really easy to feel like your normal life is being heavily altered by outside forces for dubious reasons, because your life is spent in a little bubble where you don't have to spend a lot of time around anyone of a significantly different background. *Defined as "whatever branch of Christianity I, personally, subscribe to"
