Pope Guilty posted:I never would have thought that "your book contains numbers that our system thinks are page numbers and it can only print if it thinks those numbers are in order" would be a thing. And the lack of an override- no way even to tell it "those aren't page numbers"- is amazing. IIRC the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff book kept being flagged by the printer for "mistakes" (it's a "troll book", intentionally printed wrong, with intentionally bad graphics etc.) and the author had to keep flagging each "mistake" as "yep, intentional"

Wales Grey posted:So what exactly is "Kafkatrapping"? I've seen it mentioned a few places and there's not really any good definition of what exactly it is. Even from the blog that apparently coined the phrase. Imagine you're the protagonist of Kafka's The Trial, except the accusation is extremely clear ("you're racist") and the sentence is mild ("you are no longer welcome to this social circle that you never were part of or wanted to be part of")

Woolie Wool posted:It's not really contrarianism, it's that many white people invest much of their self-worth in their whiteness, whether they realize it or not, and any attack on the behavior of white people or the institution of whiteness is treated by these people as an attack on their innermost selves.

ate all the Oreos posted:A lot of Trump supporters are evangelicals who voted for him for the usual evangelical reasons too They will vote anyone with an (R) next to their name and call anyone with a (D) the antichrist. They have literally incorporated the presidential elections in their religion. I wouldn't call them hopeless, because people lose their religion all the time, but if Prester Jane was right, the problem is that Evangelicals, through ACE and other forms of institutionalized child abuse, have turned their community into an assembly line of Evangelical crazies. Again, not hopeless, because people do escape abuse, but as long as the fresh meat outnumbers the defectors, they'll keep being a compact red block of lunacy

Look, Trump supporters are incredibly sheltered and averse to debate. Like, to an unreasonable degree, excessively, fully through the looking glass. They are total contrarians in the best case, and unreachable without protective equipment. Non-Trump supporters (which Trump supporters demonize to a degree way, way beyond mean feefee-hurting words) are under no obligation to them whatsoever, they should look at their own people and their needs instead

Cingulate posted:Donald Trump is your president-elect. 60 million (?) people voted for him. He has the finger on the button for the bomb. "You can't debate with them" is a suicidal statement. Worse, a murderous statement, cause you might end up taking the rest of the world down with you. (Us Europeans have a similar thing with anti-immigrant sentiments and the dissolution of the EU of course.) Did you notice my use of the third person plural? I'm not American (I'm also one of the people everyone is eager to throw under the bus). But sure, go ahead and read "their" news sources. Try to reason with the people posting a Facebook status a minute and who literally talk in slogans. We've always rightly ridiculed them, but apparently now that they're on social network platforms, they're suddenly worthy of consideration

Tesseraction posted:Yeah and being fair you have the worst of it since the 5SM are officially the biggest progenitors of fake news in Europe. Kinda hard to argue with such people in good faith. Italy is in the interesting situation of having two distinct, competing, non-fringe populist/fake news parties, one leaning more towards "less taxes, death to gays, immigrants and bankers" (Matteo Salvini's new and improved Lega Nord), the other more "globalist elites poison us with vaccines, GMOs and chemtrails" (Movimento 5 Stelle) - other countries only seem to have one or the other. This gives me hope that they'll neutralize each other and not be able to do too much damage

I liked The Boys, for what it's worth. It's full of contradictions but it seems aware of it, starting from the premise of "the adventures of a black ops team" itself it correctly points out that black ops teams (1) sound cool in theory but in the end they just deprive regular units of their best men, and (2) inevitably get out of control and start pursuing their own agenda. And then it inevitably happens to The Boys as well

Curvature of Earth posted:(I am aware of the irony of this edit, since Sam Kriss is Jewish. But if you're defending bad-faith rhetoric as a tool, expect me to call it what it is: language deployed in bad faith.) And not a second too late, we have bad faith rhetoric used to attack bad faith rhetoric Nice projection but I'm just saying that I, like Sam Kriss, find good lies extremely satisfying in a way scientific fact dreams it could be. Like Sam Kriss, I also find it extremely hard to find good lies. See how weak his articles on sun gazing and flat earth are: the ideas are beautiful (earth is a flat disc suspended in the middle of the universe; the sun is far more complex and sinister than just a really bright nuclear reaction) but good material is so hard to come by. As it usually happens, the only part of the sun gazing article that I can remember is where he quotes a crazy person (Tila Tequila). Schizophrenics come up with the most incredible lies, I remember this jaw dropping rant a guy wrote in the comment section of a random webpage, where he stated as a fact that crude oil doesn't exist (it's just water and manure mixed together), that the segmentation of citrus fruits is a shattering caused by the moon's gravitational pull, that the marks on the skins of whales mirror the sky's constellations, and I forget what else (he was also a victim of a conspiracy that involved the mafia and Berlusconi) ... I have derailed for long enough I guess
