Without that source of pure rage, it might fall apart altogether. I dunno, there's something just extra stupid about it. Like the words "conservative views" now basically means "I said stupid poo poo so I'm going to describe it using this intellectual-sounding word and avoid the embarrassing details of what I actually said." And now they want this dumping ground of an ideological label to have extra protection from mean people, all after a long spree of mocking liberals for being fragile safe space microtriggered melty snowflakes.

Bullying is a serious problem and it's not far-fetched to suggest that it's a major contributor to the anti-social mindsets that drive school shooters. It's not helpful to just handwave away the question of "what makes people want to kill all of their classmates and probably die in the process?" That's not the point of bringing it up in this context though, the point is to point to something else as the "real" solution because they've decided in advance that "make it more difficult to get guns" isn't it.

Mass shooters aren't disproportionately white in the first place. It turns out that the motivations driving people to suicidal-homicidal extremes are complicated and varied. The ability to easily get a gun however is consistent.

Shapiro looks smart for two reasons. One is that he passes the ultra-low bar of being smarter than 90% of the right-wing media ecosystem by not doing obvious politically-convenient 180's or indulging in insane conspiracy theories. The other is that he's effectively playing the game of "whoever runs out of arguments first loses" against badly-prepared college students with talking point levels of understanding of things that can't get past the first rebuttal, and that's only when he's actually going up against people and not just knocking down straw men of "the Left." He's tailor made for the poo poo tier of political debate where everything has to be a single-sentence zinger. Oh yeah and Jordan Peterson's been invited on to Bill Maher this Friday.

If you're gonna complain about Maher, make sure you factor in the segment with Jordan Peterson from last weekend, which can be summed up as basically the sequel to his segment with Milo Yiannopoulos.Jurgan posted:I'd say it's the other way around- many Democrats likely believed in gay marriage in the last decade but were afraid to admit it. David Axelrod says that was true for Barack Obama before his views "evolved." Also the best thing about this whole "I got hacked!" thing is just how completely out of line that type of posting is with what actually happens when a blog or site gets hacked, which is that it gets filled up with either obvious vandalism, or a deluge of spam links to malware, scams, porn, and fake dick pills.

BiggerBoat posted:Conservatives are just flat out loving weird. I can't relate to Republicans at all. The only ones I understand are the ones that at least admit that everything in their life centers around money and individualism. They're still wrong headed, of course, but at least I get the motivation. It's also not just a problem of facts but of emphasis, like the problem with a site like Breitbart isn't just the amount of poo poo they publish that's factually wrong, it's the bigger picture that it paints via what it decides is and isn't newsworthy, like when they dedicated stupid amounts of column space to whining about Antifa. Now compound that with social media, which encourages the sharing of the most outragious clickbaity articles possible, to your friends of probably similar ideological persuasion, and you wind up with a bunch of people in a world where that sort of thing is literally all they ever hear about "the Left."

moths posted:I'm sure the focus on stuff like Antifa and Soros is to cement the "both sides do it" mentality. The Antifa whining wasn't a "both sides" thing originally, it turned into it a bit after Charlottesville, but Richard Spencer got punched 7 months before that and the Antifa panic stories were in full swing even before that. The point was to inflate "the violent left" into the big important thing that must be talked about. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 19:02 on May 4, 2018 |

Keeshhound posted:I think it's more that there haven't been any high profile examples of that kind of violence for people to react positively or negatively to. That's not really my point though, it's that Antifa is a fringe element that almost nobody wants anything to do with, so who cares? Why is it something that the mainstream media isn't covering enough? Why is it something that candidates need to vocally denounce? It's because importance in that media ecosystem (and the sharing ecosystem of their audience) is a function of whether it can make liberals look bad. There's also the Benghazi Effect, generating importance by just constantly talking about it, and then insisting that everyone else treat it as important too. The bigger point though of how that's relevant to the average conservative mindset, just imagine someone whose understanding of "the Left" and "liberals" is nothing but that growing pile of negative anecdotes that they also crave more of. It's easy to be ideologically mushy when the ideology is just a tool to strike back at the Leftist horde, and if a new tool works better, well there ya go.

Keeshhound posted:I thought I'd typed "recently," but I guess not. Anyway, that's pretty much what I meant; we're not hearing about the "violent left" or whatever they'll get called, but that doesn't mean people are taking a side. Sooner or later someone's going to punch Shapiro or one of the other interchangable fuckwits and that'll be the talking point for a month or so until the president manages to get everyone's attention again. "well if they're punching Richard Spencer then soon they could be punching anybody with ~conservative views~." Gauging it is a bit tricky, but searching Google for "Antifa" on Breitbart with results limited to just 2016 has 4 pages worth of results, and of course there was plenty of freaking out about it by alt-right nutters like Lauren Southern and Gavin McInnes.

Radish posted:What's the full story on those two anyway? The fact that there's not much of an ideological common thread running through most of the people mentioned should be revealing. Harris got his start a while ago, Rogan's show isn't really politically-focused, the rest can be summed up as people who drew the ire of progressive activists for one reason or another and parlayed it into a media career on the Internet. That phenomenon is probably more important than the specific people involved, and as with Peterson, I suspect the interest in what they have to say is VERY cherry-picked.

The reason I asked whether the Jordan Peterson fan was an actual serious fan or YouTube clip crawler is because in the YouTube clip crawler case you understand it by watching the YouTube clips, and in the other case, I wasn't sure if there was a good writeup anywhere with a nice view from the bottom of the rabbit hole summarizing why he's a crazy fuckin dude, but now you can click the link!

Pirate Radar posted:This takes us down a weird road because if this is the argument then the best way for them to own the libs is now to sleep with women who aren’t conventionally “hot”, but creating that framing inherently reinforces our cultural standards of attractiveness and then I start feeling like we’re the baddies in some way I can’t put my finger on yet I'm reminded a bit of Ross Douthat writing the dumb "maybe the solution is sex robots" piece. It's not about sex, it's about validation, and they're not gonna feel validated by loving a robot the same way that they don't want to settle for losing their virginity to someone that they think is below what they deserve. What makes it so particularly toxic is the combination of the sense of entitlement and the projection of their own sense of worthlessness on to the women that they're only interested in as a means to the end of proving themselves. Also, another ridiculous implication of what Peterson is saying is that if we just stop the alpha-studs from hogging all of the women, then women will decide they have no choice but to hook up with the Elliot Rodgers of the world.

Hopefully the NFL thing results in whole teams staying in the locker room all the time. Random thought: I don't know if sunlight is really the disinfectant, it's been a double-edged sword with Spencer, but Peterson's newfound attention from the mainstream press and the NYT interview in particular appear to have been overwhelmingly bad for his reputation. Not so much from driving his fans away, but from earning a lot of new detractors that hadn't paid much attention to him before. Maybe that's for the better. A lot of the right-wing Internet media ecosystem thrives from being mostly unknown outside of their fans and a handful of blogs.

BiggerBoat posted:I still think it's terrifying how much of this nonsensical rhetoric and propaganda has genuinely taken hold, permeated the modern discourse and how quickly it's done so. I think the subjugation of the media and poo poo like "fake news" as a term being something that largely is associated with mainstream media outlets is one of the biggest existential threats our society faces behind, perhaps, climate change. Yeah, there's a difference between "biased" and "fake," but in practice they mean the same thing, that the "mainstream media" (which the most-viewed cable news network totally isn't, you see...) isn't credible.

BiggerBoat posted:Biased is one thing and "Fake" is another. It's pure, unadulterated propaganda and outright hate fot the first amendment and it's gaining some rather troubling steam. Maybe you're right and it hasn't been rapid but it seems rather rapid to me. I gave teh American public more credit than this. The idea that mainstream outlets are completely making up sources and stories is a step beyond that, but the only way that sort of claim has any traction is because of the groundwork already laid out to completely discredit them. If you want an obvious example of how tightly-related the two are, then just look at the constant parroting of "the mainstream media won't talk about X." RuanGacho posted:Do you think that with Ailes gone, Limbaugh aging, Hannity bound his fate entirely to Trump and the lynch pin of their entire movement being in the current Presidency mean that things can stay this way? Like I've said before, if Trump turns radioactive, then they'll just do what they've always done: Act like they never really supported him. If anyone is ever called out on it, their response will be "well I've been fair, I was critical of Trump once or twice, and Shep Smith did that thing once," and that proves that they're independent and don't actually slob his knob 100% of the time (just 99% of the time). Hannity, Limbaugh, and Ailes are also beside the point. The individual people are mostly replaceable for as long as the audience continues to exist. It didn't end with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck leaving FNC, we just got Tucker Carlson instead. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 22:52 on May 28, 2018 |

The funny part about them going after Maher is that Maher is very adamantly against running people off the air for political reasons and is friends with Roseanne, so I won't be at all surprised if he invites her on to dump on ABC together. On the other hand though, he also really wants to grill her for turning into a Trumper.
