ToxicSlurpee posted:I think the thing that baffles me the most is people calling it "an act of God" whenever a disaster happens in an area where that disaster happens regularly. A hurricane hitting Florida is not exceptional. A hurricane hitting North Dakota would be. Hey, gently caress you, guy. We already get 60 mph+ winds for days straight. That stuff starts moving in a circle and all that fracking castoff water is going RIGHT into the atmosphere! Joking aside, calling anything an Act of God is theologically presumptive and a sin by most counts re: God's name in vain. It also leads people away from Christianity as they now have someone to blame for all their problems and the random things that happen in their lives.

Crunch Buttsteak posted:Eh, the Satanic Panic of the 80's and 90's was a clusterfuck of both secular and religious paranoia. When even state-run psychological organizations were convinced that millions of Satanists were controlling day care centers across America and abusing Our Children, it's hard to lay the blame completely on the people who decided to cynically take advantage of the moral panic. I mean, they're still assholes, but they're like the "ex-terrorists" of today - they realized that there's money to be made taking advantage of a society's fears, and confirming them through telling really scary stories to an already-terrified populace.

Can we stop staring a our belly buttons long enough so that we can, with analytic precision, call RWM "propaganda" at this point?

Extensive Vamping posted:In a roundabout way this is what I'm addressing. While there is a small amount of original thought from the RWM, Fox News can be boiled down to RNC talking points. Counterpropaganda techniques can be used quite effectively against them because their points are predictable and few in number. They telegraph these points in message boards and "alternative" media. Like focus testing. The problem then would be determining how they choose what ultimately floats and what sinks to the bottom to be used later.

I imagine stock cars with electric engines. Where you go to the dirt track and it sounds like a herd of cattle stampeding across a service road. The crunch of tin cladding and screams of the drivers as the silent Outlaws flip through the air. I imagine drag strips where the loudest noise the dragsters make is in the burnout box. Where souped-up Teslas quietly whish by empty stands. I imagine douchebag teenagers having to put waterproof speakers on the outside their cars and program synthesizers to simulate the sound of a terrible, terrible, like really badly done exhaust modification. gently caress your car culture. Question for the conspiracy guy. Are there chemtrails coming-up? That's my favorite part of the song.

Seconding Roger Ailes as #1 worst misinformation merchant. The man got Nixon on TV. He is responsible for Richard Nixon being....palatable on television for God's sakes. The man is the literal devil incarnate. If Roger Ailes was wrestling he'd be a slightly more sexist early-career Ric Flair. But with way more racism.

Frozen is decidedly not feminist propaganda. Unless you think the home-schooled co-dependant model is "real" feminism. Hell, Elsa is so stuffed in her own head she keeps "accidentally" trying to kill her starry-eyed sister and it's up to a simple male stereotype to save them all from themselves. And don't get me started at the disturbing undercurrent in Trolls. Glitter farts. Yes, I have a toddler who watches these movies daily, why do you ask?

Holy MJ apologia, Batman. Hey, I'm all about his music but when your argument includes "He's just a guy who liked to sleep in the same bed with children (no pedo)." then that tells me it's more about you needing to reconcile the artist/performer with the man and not simply dividing the two like any sane person would. It's nearly the literal definition of pedophilia and you're haggling details. Icky. So, so icky.
