zoux posted:Also how do you feel about that brand of apologia? Like with slavery, people say it's unforgivable and that it was such an obvious affront to human nature and dignity that anyone should have seen it for the atrocity it was regardless of upbringing. I'm not so sure that people can't be taught and sincerely believe that any state of affairs is good and proper, I mean that is how culture works. slavery especially gets odd wrt using it as a barometer, since basically everyone was okay with it for most of history, to the point they couldn't even conceive of a world without it course, even Roman slavery was arguably less hosed up than racial chattel slavery but still, even Spartacus apparently just didn't want to be a slave, he didn't give a gently caress about the whole owning people thing itself. if anyone knows any figures way back when who said slavery sucked, that'd be cool to hear, since i didn't have any luck finding any, which was a little depressing.

the_paradigm_shift posted:I thought it was more 50/50 with the trump ones being more gross and loud. of course I'm not going to read it there is bernie stuff but it's much less there than trump. i check it out every now and then as a sort of fun glance at the other side. its probably more 50/50 fake vs real neonazi filth but considering how much "race realism" style nonsense is present in millennial bastions like reddit nowadays it's probably more authentic than i am giving credit for. there is certainly crossover with the sort of "fact sheets" that people puke into comment sections of various sites.

on the radio a while ago i heard about people gushing over the rising power of the free market to control drug prices this meant that insurance companies were playing hardball by refusing to cover drugs like ritalin or its generic variants, which i happen to use, so they could force doctors and patients to use cheaper drugs with worse side effects. of course in the long run, it was explained, this would lower prices after only a couple decades of messes. so its possible i could end up having to pay over 100 dollars for a drug i get for like, 12 right now. price fixing, of course would be highly immoral. thats my personal experience with the healthcare system

Berke Negri posted:The whole medicaid expansion blocking is some serious hosed up poo poo its great because the governors that do this claim they are doing it for the good of the public and not because they are willing to let people die rather than let the opposing side gain a single inch, and its all taken at face value. nobody will ever have to answer for any of this. “Politics is weird. And creepy. And now I know lacks even the loosest attachment to anything like reality.”

GhostofJohnMuir posted:*ahem* i think you'll find that after 5 years the states would have to pay 10% of the cost, making Medicaid expansion completely fiscally irresponsible i dont even hear anyone making serious claims about the fiscal responsibility of it, its mostly just cloaked in a sort of twisted moral verse where taxation is theft and theft is the greatest sin imaginable; its alright for someone to die in poverty surrounded by opulence, as long as nobody tried to steal their poverty away.

site posted:We had some of that here. "We have massive budget deficits, so we can't afford this SUPER COSTLY HEALTH CARE FOR THE POORS THANKS OBUMMER" yeah i guess it varies; i find that the economic angle is mostly just there to give a veneer of credibility but once pressed on that, its all based on morality rather than any sort of practicality. like if you point out how food stamps pretty much pay for themselves instantly since even food stamps put towards those mythical lobster dinners ends up paying the wages of the grocery store employees, the immediate retort is something about the undeserving poor. i blame Reagan.

yeah shogun 2 is probably my favorite. really the only one that i felt got the strategic layer done well enough so it wasn't a pain to manage but still had an impact on the game and let you do little fun setups and poo poo. that and the units had roles and poo poo which was sweet compared to "hey here's the same unit, except, it has 2 better defense and 100 more upkeep, okay have fun".
