I think that the less hardline lunatics are starting to see the outrage warrior contingent turn on their own, first with Lacey Green changing sides after a friend of hers got publicly destroyed for writing the wrong article in a journal and the hatred spewed at her from what used to be her team, then vidcon idiocy, then Sarsour accusing Jake Tapper of being an alt-right white nationalist because he asked whether a fugitive on the run for murder was a good icon for a women's march. Its only logical to tap out when its only a matter of time before you become the tiger's next meal.

This dumb lady isn't doing the whole "Americans don't know history/geography" stereotype any favors.

Edit:
  • It was Czechoslovakia at the time
  • Czechoslovakia was not part of Yugoslavia
  • Yugoslavia was not part of the Soviet Bloc

Imho the underlying issue with Notch is his loneliness, and the realization that even adopting the vestiges of liberal values wouldn't make him more likeable and bring him friends just made him give up and embrace the dark undercurrents of his personality, because what does decency matter if it can't address his one true need. The same goes for many other Internet scumbags - realizing that they can't fix their personal problems by naively mimicking the surface behavior of happier people, they sink into misery and nihilism.

Pretty much. Notch got uber rich and then alienated all his friends and co creators. He tried his hand at being woke to make friends and look good and smart but eventually his real personality showed and he began to see them as empty unthinking over sensitive dicks, which is sorta true. Now he is trying to make inroads with alt right dipshits and other social rejects.

The femfreq piece on war of the planet of the apes is pretty bad really. The best part is taking what is a pretty traditional pre-war ritual across many cultures and claiming it's nazi. Preparing yourself to meet your God is not nazism in the same way a chemo patient isn't secretly listening to skrewdriver.

Maybe she should do something with Tariq and Deray since they have some pretty insane hot takes on the film too. The crew consciously took time to style the film after the source material and chose a look for Cesar that came close to his uniform in the old films. This happens to be a blue puffy jacket so clearly Cesar is an attack on Deray.

http://www.seattletimes.com/life/tj-miller-on-erlich-bachman-yogi-bear-and-improv-on-tour/

quote:

And he just can’t believe that I haven’t seen what he considers his finest work: The 2010 feature film “Yogi Bear 3D.”

“Let me explain to a person who hasn’t seen the performance,” he began, and I stifled a laugh, then gave up.

“I’ve never done anything better,” he said into the phone. “ I had to wear shorts and a ranger hat every day. I was upside down in New Zealand. I was there for half a year of my life.

He likes to make facetiously grandiose comments about his dumb movies so I don't think you should take his emoji trump resistance at face value necessarily.
