Also, it's telling that Nick Sandmann jumped in out of nowhere talking about wanting to collaborate with Kyle Rittenhouse. People claim he sued CNN for $250 million but I heard it was settled out of court for what was probably a trivial amount. The chudosophere has been talking about Kyle suing everyone under the sun which sounds rather redundant. He's already going to get plenty of wingnut welfare since he can use a gofundme again. It would just be an embarrassment to make a big show of how he was publicly assaaunated by the press yet had millions of supporters and got found not guilty, only to have his cases laughed out of court.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:I saw today a video being shared that stated that the Waukesha parade tragedy was “Black Supremacist Domestic Terrorism” and asking why the media won’t call it that… It's filling out all the chud outrage bingo spaces. A black rapper out on bail (for committing a similar crime) who supports BLM and had a social media post advocating they beat up white people. They also accuse the media of deliberately withholding the fact that the suspect was black because it didn't fit the leftist narrative, suggesting that if the driver was white they would have mentioned it... What 5 minutes sooner? They reported the guy pretty quick, it's not like this is some mystery that dragged on for months here.

How much actual organizing and mutual aid was going on in that subreddit? Because a group that calls itself 'antiwork' which coincidentally doesn't actually do any relavent effort in addressing such grievances is just a joke that writes itself. It's like the endlessly postponed procrastinators treatment meetings. Myself and fellow union members volunteer our time and energy to provide vaccination and covid testing to all employees as quickly as we could, on top of working full time jobs. Reducing/eliminating work sadly takes work.

I hear Ripley brought up a lot (as well as Alita from battle angel). But they seem all over the place in their expectations: -The protagonist can't be too feminine because it just makes their respective feats implausible to them. But if they aren't feminine enough then that is a problem too. -They are fine with minority representation unless the story addresses what such a minority might go through (casual misogyny, homophobia, etc). Then it's just pandering to them. -They'll hold a minority protagonist to a standard never criticized by some white counterpart. Call a character a Mary Sue, ok so what parallel Marty Stus have the same problem you are having here? -New themes and concepts can never be addressed, it's just pandering to fads if you try to include these things.

Murgos posted:The thing that has to be kept in mind is that these people think that their POV is the in line with vast majority who are just too cowed by the oppressive regime to take action. A lot of history about everyday people rising up against their oppressors can seem inspiring to certain people. Unable to parse subtext or nuance they just see the central theme of "person is mad, person does thing, person gets what they want." I mean look at how the Revolutionary War gets mythologized to people on the right. They want to be that kind of hero in their own story. The whole world is changing, and them stubbornly resisting that change makes them feel like the only right ones. So they decide a way to fight back against it. But as mentioned above, the things they are fighting don't really exist. We're not in a 1984 hellscape in the way they think we are. Not only that, what's the endgame? What's the big victory they are going to get that will change things for the better and venerate them as heroes and patriots? That's pretty vague too.

It's such a moving target. Since they were surrogate pregnancies the right gets to concern troll how gay people like Rubin are stealing babies from women while pretending they'd have no problem had they been adopted. And I guarantee you they will appropriate leftist concerns about surrogacy (criticism of capitalism, consent, etc) and pretend like there's people on the left that agree gay people shouldn't get surrogate babies.

BiggerBoat posted:The GOP and conservatives are really obsessed with pedophiles I keep noticing. Besides the projection angle I think it checks off a number of boxes for conservatives: -Pedophilia is considered a universally bad thing so it is an extremely "safe" problem to crusade against. They also do this thing (needs to be a word for it) where if you're not 100% in agreement with them then you must be 100% in support of what they are against. -They desperately try to conflate outgroups with pedophilia, be it LGBTQ groups, Muslims, leftists, etc. Since pedophilia should be thought of as a universally harmful thing they will try to associate outgroups with that property. This sidesteps the live and let live principles most people would associate with those outgroups otherwise. Muslims aren't bad because of their race or worship, but because they believe in sexually abusing minors. And yes, they will sometimes go after Catholics for this but it usually comes from some protestant fundamentalism. -Conservatives treat their children as property and treat their kids' abuse with the same disdain as someone ruining their lawn. Their validation of allegations has a lot to do with their attitude towards the perpetrator. The more brown, queer, or leftist they are, the more likely a conservative will believe the abuse happened. Children never get any agency in these situations; only the conservative parent is allowed to speak about it. Acknowledgement of the abuse is only allowed to serve the conservatives agenda. -Along those lines, speaking out about pedophilia is a safe method of Performative Parenting which makes it look like the conservative is vigilant and protective. You see this a ton with Transphobia; the conservative will immediately veer the conversation about what they would do if it was their daughter in that swim team /bathroom /changing room /dance club/etc. The concept of sexual abuse is kind of just a fig leaf to legitimize the violence they already want to commit anyway. -Finally, it is just one of many fascist boogeymen in that pedophiles are dangerous because they are a threat to children, yet they are craven and weak and so must be confronted directly. Note that no conservative worries about being overpowered or victimized by a pedophile in the same manner as their children might be.

I always thought it was just a really ostentatious display of ingroup tribalism. It's over the top and exaggerated as though that was in proportion to their loyalty to the tribe. There's also this shrinking core identity of what it means and counts as being "American". For instance, someone could live and work in the US and thus consider themselves American, but since they aren't a legal citizen that won't "count" to reactionaries. Then you could have a person that doesn't speak English, and have very distinctly unique customs. This person is technically "American" since they are a citizen. Do they count? Nope, because they don't assimilate the right kind of American culture enough for the right to be part of the ingroup. Finally you can have someone be lily white, fluent English speaking, come from a 'traditional' American background, yet be openly critical of the state apparatuses. They technically are American but look at the notion of America with contempt. These folks also don't count because they didn't meet the requisite amount of loyalty to be accepted as part of the ingroup. So the flag stuff helps to establish the person as the 'right' kind of American in their own eyes. I've heard some arguments to be made for some leftist movements to try to appropriate the US flag stuff for optics and to make it harder to be culturally singled out. It would be interesting to see what right wingers would do if that happened - would they just go all in on gadsten flags or make their own new flags? They often treat the US flag like a cross against vampires WRT leftists; certainly when you see a clip of a guy proudly carrying a huge US flag only to have a purple haired woman wrench it loose and attempt to burn it you can get a pretty good idea of the political alignment of both people.

I think the thing that freaks people out about antifascists is the decentralized and masked nature of them. A lot of right wing reactionary politics seems to be about putting people into boxes but if you don't know who these people are or who is in charge it makes them a force of nature. This gets reinforced by signal boosting videos from years ago that are some variation of young looking masked people threatening/attacking an older person. I've heard it's only like 5 video journalists total that record and edit this content and it just gets recycled over and over devoid of context. A lot of chuds thought antifa was made up of jobless losers but when mugshots revealed many of them were school teachers they freaked the gently caress out.

It's interesting to see the patterns in right wing boogeymen and how they jump around. Recently it occurred to me that a lot of the scare mongering about CRT and "indoctrinating/grooming children into various sexualitites" really kicked off after schools opened back up. Which makes sense, but it's funny how they never really reflected on the situation. Because if schools are doing remote learning then it gives conservative reactionaries everything they want. They can monitor exactly what their kids are learning and pull the plug if they find any of it unacceptable. I constantly hear about how teachers should have to work under a panopticon and online learning would make it easier for these control freaks. But no, they act like kids are depressed and killing themselves because they weren't forced to go to school unmuzzled, you know, the same schools that are teaching CRT and Queer Commust Theory right under the parents' noses  And along those lines, why doesn't all this hysteria drive conservatives to pursue teaching so that they can "correct" this alleged liberal bias? Where's all the wannabe Dennis Pragers getting their Masters in Education to make sure future generations aren't being 'brainwashed' by leftism?

Neito posted:Because getting the proper certifications would mean sumbitting themselves to the machine of liberalism. In their mind the best goal is just straight up homeschooling forever, like what the drunk duck comic guy thinks. As Angry Ed mentioned, going to the Liberal Bastion that is Harvard University didn't turn Ben Shapiro into a screeching liberal. In fact, we could argue that his success should come as reassuring to reactionaries. He didn't flunk or get kicked out of there in spite of being conservative, so what's their excuse? Twelve by Pies posted:It doesn't because it means they have to actually monitor their children while they're doing remote learning instead of just dropping them off for eight hours a day. I can't help but wonder if it's all just an intersection between anti intellectualism and slacktivism. They want something to be done about it but don't want to be the one to volunteer. They think kids are getting brainwashed but they are paralyzed by their strong+weak fascist boogeyman.

CuddleCryptid posted:The right wings relationship with pedophilia is so bizarre, it seems to include everything but actually assaulting children. Talking to kids about being gay is pedophilia. Having two men kiss on TV is grooming. If someone is bad then they are also a pedophile on top of whatever they already were. But a 48 year old man "marrying" a 15 year old is normal and the baby that appears a year later is just out of nowhere. To a conservative, the way they did and/or do things is the right sensible way, and any deviation from that isn't just suboptimal, it's dangerous to them. So when society lurches forward their reflexive reaction is that this change must be about normalizing something harmful.

I AM GRANDO posted:I don’t know that there’s any reason to expose yourself to it. The whole point is to create an alternative reality that allows listeners to enact a particular emotional frenzy. Anyone could become vulnerable to that with enough exposure, no matter what emotions it happens to prompt. With some things, this visceral sense of disgust and outrage can be directed positively and toward self improvement. You'll note people are particularly proud to share how a photo of a severely obese person, or an incredibly messy bedroom will motivate them to lose weight/organize their home. But the key here is that they are exposed to things that are within their own power to address directly. With other things though the magnitude of the problem is so great the exposed person isn't going to be able to make a tangible impact, and deep down they probably know that as well. To some degree we need to keep all of it in moderation simply to be able to function in our day to day lives.

Prager U had a whole bit on how they insisted scandanavian countries weren't socialist because of...reasons? I also hear them mention, I wanna say Sweden "tried socialism but it was a disaster and after abandoning it their economy and standard of living took off". Mr Interweb posted:so i've been seeing a lot of cons argue that the reason many other industrialized countries have such good social safety nets and overall better quality of life is because they can afford to spend their budgets on those things as opposed to their militaries because amurka does all their protecting for them. this isn't a new talking point, but i've been hearing it a whole lot more recently than in prior years. the only POSSIBLE country where this seems like it might make sense that i can think of off the top of my head is MAYBE japan, but that's about it. this sounds like a very dumb argument but i figured i'd do my due diligence and ask if there's anything to it.  "So you care more about some sissy foreigners too lazy to protect themselves rather then taking care of Americans here?" Everything is a zero sum game to them, we can't treat undocumented people with dignity every time you do that some homeless veteran starves to death. We cant have bail reform because every black man released without bail will beeline to the nearest white boomer and rob him on the spot. And so on.

It's interesting how right wing cultural boogeymen shift with the times in right wing media with regards to violence, sexual content, and tone. The best recent example I can come up with is the outrage over Cuties. There's also this prevailing belief that film media is "too woke" which is always weird to me because most of the actual leftist subtext are completely lost on reactionaries (thinking squid game was some allegory for communism, for example). Another good example of this was the brief uproar over The Hunt, which had been rumored to be about a bunch of liberals that hunt down conservatives. But actually watching it, turns out that the protagonist is some anti Trump type conservative who is starkly contrasted with the other conservatives that comically die from their idiocy, meanwhile when up against a real threat the liberal hunters are of course decimated including the AOC analogue congresswoman who orchestrated the whole thing. so it was funny for them to get outaged, since liberals were the antagonists; in fact its the kind of thing you'd think was written by the Daily Wire.
