MaxxBot posted:What the gently caress does "nerd" and "hipster" even mean in this context? Half of the people on this list probably couldn't even tell you what a differential equation is, it's just a list of prominent liberal pundits. What do you even call someone who's good with science, math, and computers now days? I think it's a good comparison actually. The hipster hate is a pretty good analog for the conservative "volvo driving latte sipping liberal" trope. Validity aside, it's useful to see how those cultural traits are seen from the other side.

Radish posted:Conservatives absolutely love the government when it is helping them and only them. It's when money goes to people they don't like that they start claiming to be against it. Look at states controlled by the GOP and you'll see all kinds of government over-reach, huge spending backed by fees which paid by the poor, and laws that are intrusive into private lives. The anti-government mantra is just a cover; it makes them look like Serious People since government (run by them) are so incompetent that clearly hating public workers is the responsible and adult position. Remember the Dixiecrats. The New Deal was fine so long as it was excluding black people.

Didn't say they didn't bring the end upon themselves, but at that end emancipation came at gunpoint. At least until the end of reconstruction anyway.

If Trayvon Martin had had a gun, perhaps he'd have been alive right now.... I like to remind people that this is exactly what the black panthers were founded to do. They did armed community watch, of the streets and of the police. Guess how that went?

Aesop Poprock posted:Conservatives are really bad at any kind of attempt at tongue in cheek humor. Or humor in general. Or entertainment Or policy quote:In a March 1960 unsigned editorial, National Review declared, "We offer the following on the crisis in the Senate and the South: In the Deep South the Negroes are, by comparison with the Whites, retarded" ('unadvanced' the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People might put it) ... Leadership in the South, then quite properly rests in White hands. Upon the White population this fact imposes moral obligations of paternalism, patience, protection, devotion, and sacrifice." The editorial added that "the attempt to hand over to the Negro the raw political power with which to alter it is hardly a solution. It is a call to upheaval, which ensues when reality and unbridled abstractions meet head-on."

There's a lot of depth and the best guy have been covering it for years and are really knowledgable about something I care about. Some of them are really funny too. Bonus points in that some of them are active in Twitter and engage with their readers. Can't say as a whole of sports journalism, but that little corner is awesome.

There's a "faith-based" investment and financial services thing in these parts that advertises itself as such on its hideous, bright light-up sign in its really fancy building. While ignoring what Jesus had to say about such things. Well, ignoring the electric bling sign, anyway. I want so much for the logo to be a camel and a needle.

ErIog posted:Throw in with the Soviet Union back before most of the people who complain about it were alive. Most can't explain what the purpose of the embargo was. As far as they're concerned it was punitive and working as intended. A subset is also terrified that Obama's gambit is going to work, and Dems are going to get foreign policy cred before the GOP could. My freshman college roommate was the son of somebody high up in the Bautista regime. He spent a lot of the time we spent together talking about how great it was going to be when his family reclaimed all the property Castro had stolen from them. Dunno how popular that sentiment was in general among the second and third generations of Americans born from expats from the revolution, but was sure strong with him. So yeah beyond ideology there's the matter of nationalized private property.

STAC Goat posted:God drat, The Blaze is insane. Ever since i discovered it on my cable lineup every time I've turned it on its been pure unfiltered crazy. I flipped it on today for a second and sure enough Dana Loesch was interviewing Frank Gaffney about how the Muslims were setting up Sharia Law "no go" towns in America in the concentrated plot to takeover the West. And somehow this had something to do with Trump and Nationalism but the two of them couldn't seem to work that part out. Frank was actually pro-nationalism. Tenders from Popeyes are legit and in no way reflect the bad rep boneless fried chicken gets from the McNugget.

Shbobdb posted:How are we defining "middle class" here? The show starts with Rosanne working in a factory and Dan working in construction. It's certainly blue-collar but jobs like "factory" and "construction" are what built the American middle class in the post-WWII period. Middle class has long been a whistle for white workers. We can't say labor or workers because that sounds too much like those drat commies. And we're all about excluding black people. So white workers is what we're left with.

Chantilly Say posted:Where are we putting the bar between lower class (or working class, if you prefer) and middle class? It's an artificial construct to make white workers feel better about themselves. Do you work for a living? You're working class. Do you support yourself through investment income or income derived from other property owned? You're in the capitalist class. Upper/middle/lower are imaginary.
