Widespread and acute fear of Republican government will keep Democratic turnout from being too depressed, so I don't think it'll be as bad as they say. I'm not sure what difference anything will make though. Vetoing one hundred of the most sociopathic loving bills ever to cross a presidential desk, that's more than enough of a legacy for Obama to claim. If they can't tone it down, he can't sign poo poo. And why would they tone it down if they've just picked up the Senate.

radical meme posted:This is from a few pages back but I think it deserves to be pointed out that this article clearly establishes that the canyon in Utah is absolutely open to the public for their use and enjoyment; you just have to either hike or ride horseback to enjoy it. These rear end in a top hat man children are arguing for the freedom to destroy public lands and antiquities with their ATVs and dirt bikes. These people are loving children screaming "you're not the boss of me". Protest organizer Phil Lyman, a San Juan County commissioner, said the BLM needs to work cooperatively with local officials. He said the trail through Recapture Canyon is legally a county road and should never have been closed to vehicles by an appointed bureaucrat. Hikers, bicyclists and equestrians were unaffected by the closure. And rider Devan Palmer said he doesn't understand why the government forces private businesses to install handicapped-accessible facilities but blocks elderly people from riding ATVs on Recapture. Oh, now a hiking trail is legally a county road, for the purposes of destroying poo poo and pissing people off. And the ranger is the one deploying the "language of weakness". Four million miles of roads. Sixty thousand miles of trails. Please cease any further attempts at recreation, pull back to Wal-Mart food court. If you have no respect, you get no respect. This must be their central complaint, that their smug is no longer accepted as legal tender because we're over that as a society.

Fried Chicken posted:I'm torn between thinking that the elites were planning ahead with the buildup and programs and remembering that they have fully bought their own bullshit that none of this is actually a problem and the good times will resume as soon as they sit on the throne again. It all comes down to whether you think our system selects for desirable or undesirable traits. If you believe it to be the latter, then elites should be somewhere between distrusted and reviled. It's the reason that most of us would take a random draft system to staff the Congress over what we've got now, or even what we had in the 50's. But as Chris Hayes writes, our elites demonstrate over and over and over again their complete unfitness to wield power of any magnitude. It's why Donald Trump irks regular wealthy guys so loving much, since he draws attention to their shared shortcomings, but since this is America that's balanced by absurd, maximally disheartening popular worship of him.

If thinking 'bout the world and stuff is bringing you down to the point where it's interfering with your life.. you need to block this forum from your browsers, block every goddamned blog and every goddamned news site. If something happens that you need to know about, someone will tell you. Not that it will make any difference to the victims, perpetrators, those involved, or anyone in the slightest. If social awareness is messing with you that much, you've given all the fucks that you're ever required to, so take nine or ten steps back, for a year at least. Apply yourself to situations whose outcomes you can actually have something to do with, if you've got to feel like you're making a difference. Like I care about you guys and you're scaring me. Like at the gym, on the treadmills. You know what I watch? I watch Fox News, because it isn't. I can't handle an IV of reality while I'm trying to break a sweat.

I don't believe that gun culture has become so abstracted from reality, that these guys didn't appreciate and enjoy the meaning of what they were doing. Like I know some of you guys shoot, and that's great but you're not going to come in here again and again and tell us that it doesn't mean anything.

Anyone compared how Obama's aged in his six-ish years to how Bush or Clinton did by this point in their terms? Could give you a hint as to how badly he wants to be there. But even if he had totally lost the plot and was phoning it in, we'd never know. Guys don't get to the top of their parties and then just decide to gently caress the party for a decade by behaving erratically.

SALT CURES HAM posted:He referred to the woman as a "true Valkyrie" and "woman of Sparta." Hilarious because of what a pretty tame, corporate and industrial endeavor the modern military is. It honestly has little in common with the outfits from even hundreds of years ago. Comparisons to Sparta are just absurd mythologizing. And I know why they do it. They can't think of one single other thing going on in society that pleases them or fills them with pride. Professional conservatives like Reihan Salam are paid so much to make us forget, that conservatism dissented en masse from modernity decades ago. But conservatives can't think of one thing they like about the USA that actually exists, so they make poo poo up about the military so they can at least pretend to be patriotic about that.

There's really no similar process for getting ahead as a left wacko.

With regards to West, I almost feel like I'm doing what Republicans do and denying my opponents' military service. But I can't help denying that West has any loving idea what the military's, about when he shoehorns in all the mythology he can find just to talk about it. I don't think I need much to support that since his tribunal or court martial came to the same conclusion.

I mean if our military were a size appropriate to our needs, it wouldn't really be possible to run it as a social program. Given it's dangerous and destructively expensive size, it is nonetheless somewhat of a democratizing force (domestically). In that it does take steps towards gender equality, and that it is the only thing approximating a social safety net (for young, fit people 18-30). There's really very little jealousy of veterans going around the country, though. And since the Republicans have been trusted to carry the torch for the troops, you're pretty much dead hosed as the rest of us. There will eventually be enough people standing around, that they won't need to offer much of anything in return to get high school seniors to come sling a rifle.
