Thanks yall, I'm well familiar with Zizek's amazing gooniness, although more in the cassock rape jokes and toilet monographs style and hadn't payed attention to this bizarre nitpick over Lacan that he's currently throwing as a justification for apparently Rick Santorum levels of tirades

that was a lot of words for zizek to say "maybe we should have a third catch-all bathroom because there are a lot of different gender identities that dont easily fit into male and female"

And also somehow take a side trip through "God drat recycling why you so hard" and "trans will lead to people marrying 7 dogs"

They knew exactly why she was trying to wedge republicans on racism, they just cruticised the absurdity of it targeted at bush and coming from a Clinton, and discussed it as an attempt to push the democrats rightward by taking on 'moderate' republicans like Paul Ryan and Kissinger and keeping progressive votes captive. There's also way more to feminism than empty representation with no structural reform or policy, and there's lots of room for criticism of Hillary from that perspective.

Yeah but it seemed a little hard for them to get you can point out that even Paul Ryan thinks it is racist without saying Paul Ryan is a good guy

But then again, I've been spared the unironic "queen Hillary" comments they also decried so maybe I'm just lucky

Normie encroachment into tech has given some of them awareness of, and thus, an opinion on the matter. It reflects whatever the mainstream dogma is favorable at the time by-and-large. Nerd-bashing's an easy scapegoat, 'specially those crypto-anarchist libertarian-leaning types. It's also easy to paint them all with a wide brush when there's still plenty of room to misinform.

iirc the wi-fi stuff wasn't as dumb or funny as 'wifi beams scramble the kid's brains through radioactivity. It was more like 'aw well you know the kids get the ipad and hte iphone and the facebook and the myspace and it messes up their attention spans and they can't concentrate on the school and this whole country's goin down the drat drain'

Dr. Stein said in response to a question about wireless internet in schools: “We should not be subjecting kids’ brains especially to that… We don’t follow that issue in this country, but in Europe, where they do, they have good precautions around wireless, maybe not good enough.” What precautions should be taken around wireless internet and why?


What actually happened is that a parent raised concerns about the possible health effects of WiFi radiation on developing children, and I agreed that more research is needed. It may surprise many people that over 200 scientific experts in the field have called for more research into the health effects of radiation from devices like cellphones and WiFi, especially on developing children, and a number of countries have banned or restricted these technologies in schools. These concerns were amplified by a recent National Institutes of Health study that provided “some of the strongest evidence to date that such exposure [to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices] is associated with the formation of rare cancers…”

lol I like this one better, let's just stop using pesticides and see what happens, it's called the precautionary principle

quote:

Dr. Stein has called for a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides. How would this work? Does it apply to all GMOs or just some?
We would enact a moratorium on new genetically modified organisms being introduced into our ecosystems, including our agricultural system and our food supply, until independent research free from industry influence shows decisively that GMOs are not harmful to human health or to the health of our ecosystems. This is called the Precautionary Principle, and it is used in countries in the European Union, but not in the United States. We should also phase out the use of GMO foods currently being grown, unless independent research shows decisively that GMOs are not harmful to human health or ecosystems.

At roughly 9:00 AM, I saw a yellow wrapper from Whataburger lying on the carpet from the previous day. Everything surrounding the wrapper turned pitch black and the wrapper started to pulsate and blink. First, it became a luminous gold color. The gold promptly faded into a brilliant white hue that nearly blinded me. After about 5 seconds, this went away. At this instant, standing in the place of the small wrapper was a small creature, with which I would become very close during the remainder of the experience.

The creature was approximately 1 foot tall and 1 foot wide – Jill Stein with the face of a bird. On her short, round body, she wore an oversized, dark gray cloak. The sleeves reached down past her hands (which I never saw) and dragged behind her as she walked. Actually, the bird Jill Stein did not walk, she slowly dragged/limped around, indifferent to my presence. Her face was similar to that of an eagle. Her head was pasty white and she had three large yellow feathers sticking out on either side of her head, serving as whiskers. I was not afraid or at all startled by the bird Jill Stein. In fact, she was welcome in my room, which by now was a large Greek temple made from marble. She paced about the temple, seeming to contemplate something. I felt very sorry for the bird Jill Stein, as she seemed to be very troubled at the time.

I can't help but feel that the author's obsession with "monopolies" rather than big business or whatever is not exactly pro-single payer or pro-government services. But maybe that's just my own personal paranoia.

but holy poo poo, we've known that trump has been compromised by putin and is playing into putin's attempts to fracture western liberal democracies into ethnonationalist enclaves, in an attempt to maintain the prestige of his own crumbling ethnonationalist kleptostate. we've known this for months, guccifier 2.0, rt, jokes about kompromat, all this was talked about before the freaking election

one of the problems with democrats is that their messaging tends to be over complicated, here is a super simple one: trump is a puppet of putin. bing bang bong simple. we're just trying to delegitimize trump and weaken his ability to run roughshod with his policies

I was just told on Facebook by some dude that "for me it, it seems reactionary anti-neoliberalism and russian propaganda designed to divide progressives is now *indistinguishable.* for my part, this is something to watch out for." Maybe uhh, Booker's vote against the bill is what is dividing progressives?

You realize even Sanders voted against the bill right? The bill was to repeal Obamacare so even adding Canadian drugs...Sanders would have still voted against the bill.

you mean the bill that bernie wrote? or are you referring to a different bill because the one on wednesday was not for repealing obamacare

The Canadian drugs thing was an amendment to repealing Obamacare. So even if it had passed (hint: not a single amendments passed) then all the Democrats would still have voted against the final bill.

There are just a lot better reasons to hate Booker than a vote on an amendment that wasn't going to pass on a bill Democrats all should vote against anyway.

Right thats an amendment to the Obamacare repeal: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-concurrent-resolution/3

None of the amendments were going to pass and don't give Republicans any credit for voting for these amendments either.

I realize you've all moved on to another subject, but how exactly is it pointless or counterproductive to get an amendment added to a bill that is definitely going to pass? like wtf kind of argument was that?

Because the Republicans control the house so even if Republicans had allowed an amendment to pass (they wouldn't have) then it will get stripped in conference anyway
