Mr. Lobe posted:The guy in question had anti-nazi tattoos and was dressed just like every other member of the antifa faction. I don't buy that argument for a second. Except I heard the victim was one of the peacekeepers and was trying to break up a fight between the shooter and a third party. So maybe the shooter hit the wrong person? The other thing that got brought up is that one of those anti-nazi tattoos is a crossed out swastika, so maybe the shooter saw the swastika and mistook him for a nazi? Like I said it's just all weird af

Tatum Girlparts posted:they also released an entire bonus bit on the free feed to talk about how cool the protests are and how we need more of them and all. Their biggest critique of it has been, rightly, worrying that after this fire dies down most of those protestors will go home saying 'well I did my part' and not stay active. I think the part about how we need the normies a few episodes was a good one too

Mr Hootington posted:PSA and PSW and Chapo are all good and should be listened to. Lovett is the best host on PSA because he is obviously done with the BS. Vietor is also good but still believes in the system. Fav is a dipshit brought to you by squarecash (I love the Monday episodes when tommy and Jon mock him during commercials). I love listening to PSA shill like motherfuckers then drop hints they aren't getting paid while Chapo screams gently caress you socialism and is rolling in the dough. Seriously pleases me.

Martian Manfucker posted:what cost to other people's lives could she POSSIBLY mean Grenfell Tower, of course, was public housing, which changes the calculation somewhat. And yet, even there, trade-offs have to be made. The government spends money on a great number of things, many of which save lives. Every dollar it spends on installing sprinkler systems cannot be spent on the health service, or national defense, or pollution control. Would more lives be saved by those measures or by sprinkler systems in public housing? It’s hard to say. It’s possible that by allowing large residential buildings to operate without sprinkler systems, the British government has prevented untold thousands of people from being driven into homelessness by higher housing costs. It’s also possible that a sprinkler system would not have saved lives in that Grenfell inferno, as the fire apparently spread outside the building as well as within it. Hold these possibilities in mind before condemning those who chose to spend government resources on other priorities. Regulatory decisions are never without costs, and sometimes their benefits are invisible.

Me [28/F] with my [27/M] BF of 5 yrs - he is obsessed with podcasts and can't hold down a job, but thinks I am shallow and bourgeoise. I don't know what to do. u/anotherthr0waway2222 My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 5 years. We get along very well and he is very kind, caring, sweet, our sex life is great, we rarely ever have serious fights, etc. When we met, we were both underemployed creative types with somewhat useless art-school degrees; since then some combination of luck and hard work on my behalf has meant that I started to have a decent career (marketing for a tech company) and now make a fairly decent salary (~$65k.) I am a photographer on the side which is what I (stupidly) went to school for, but I don’t mind my work, and I think I am lucky to have a good work/life balance. I don’t know if I will ever make good money on my creative pursuits but I am happy I still get to do that on the side and I generally like my day job well enough. My boyfriend, however, temps at the same agency he worked at when he graduated 5 years ago, but very rarely gets more than a few days here or there. He works on some creative projects (writing & painting), but never seems to finish anything and does not make any money off it. He also recently got taken off his parents’ health insurance, so he has none, which worries me as much of his family is diabetic and he has had some health issues in the past. His parents are pretty wealthy and will help him out in a pinch with things like rent and health expenses. (I do not have this luxury, my parents are poor. His family isn’t, like, crazy loaded but they have a nice house and go on loads of vacations and his parents drive BMWs and give him any money he asks for, etc.) For a while this didn’t really bother me—again, we were both recent art school grads when we started dating, being broke is kind of par for the course—but since we’ve moved in together ~2yrs ago, it has started to bother me. We were happy when we were both young and broke, but I am getting to a point where I would like to do things like “go on a vacation” or “buy kitchen chairs instead of sitting on apple crates,” and it would make me feel great if he was able to contribute to things like this as well. I feel very bad because he doesn’t seem to care about these things and says I am being very bourgeoise. I also would like to (eventually) have a family, and it’s starting to worry me a little bit that if I were to ever get pregnant, I would have to be both mom and sole breadwinner. Even though he is at home most days, he doesn’t really help much around the house and doesn’t know how to cook, so I admit I am skeptical of what he would contribute. He also often says that he wants to get married, but that it’s understandably hard to deal with things like planning a wedding/getting a ring when he doesn’t have an income and that he just wants to wait until things improve before he starts thinking about those kinds of details. I guess this makes sense, but I’m not the sort to be impressed by fancy jewelry or a big ceremony—honestly, thrift store rings and a little party with friends would make me happy—but it seems to worry him, so I now avoid the topic. These conversations have been exacerbated in recent months due to politics. He and I are both left-leaning people, but he recently has become very obsessed with a series of popular far-left podcasts, and while I don’t disagree with much of their politics I find them very abrasive, and I find him constantly parroting them back at me. It feels like every conversation now begins with “Well today on CTH so-and-so said,” and every serious conversation about money or healthcare or rent or work ends in “The spineless Democrats couldn’t commit to actual socialist change and Obamacare didn’t do enough to make healthcare accessible, I can’t possibly get health insurance” or “Neoliberalism has just totally hosed the job market, what do you want from me? Until the state actually makes an investment in the people, it’s basically impossible,” or whatever. These don’t devolve into crazy screaming matches or anything, but it just is starting to bum me out that any conversation I try to have that involves any sort of financial/family/health planning just always gets shut down with a snide remark about how the system is hosed and there’s nothing he can do. I also find it annoying that he had little-to-no interest in politics before this and was not at all politically active; he’s honestly not even registered to vote. Regardless of your political leaning left or right, I find it a little upsetting to be lectured by anyone who refuses to participate in the system because “it’s so broken.” (I am not an especially outspoken person but I do vote in local and national elections, volunteer in my community, and regularly give money to causes and charities I care about.) I feel lovely because he thinks I’m being very bourgeoise and making too much of a big deal over money, which is the last thing I want to do. But it’s starting to make me feel crazy. I also sometimes get the feeling that he RESENTS me for “selling out” or something like that—that I’m “part of the problem” because I have a corporate day job. On top of that, I think I sometimes feel resentful since as a white dude who comes from a lot of money, I feel that life has given him more opportunities than me (child of Filipino immigrants & female) and it frustrates me—I know that’s not always just how the system works, but it really does feel that I have had to work much harder for many things. I am starting to feel that he is just repeating these political things as a way to avoid the sorts of dull and banal adult conversations one has to have about things like money and the future and commitment, but I know he thinks that I am just not politically informed enough and that I “follow the rules” too much. But I also worry that maybe I AM just being shallow and placing unreasonable expectations upon him. I feel really guilty, but I also don’t think it’s TOTALLY unreasonable for me to have some concerns here. What should I do? Am I not being understanding enough of his situation? TL;DR: It is starting to bother me that after 5 years, my boyfriend hasn’t really gotten a real job or insurance and turns any conversation about these things into politics. I feel badly because he thinks I am just being very bourgeoise, but this also is starting to feel like an excuse to me, and that he’s just parroting back some of the things he reads/listens to. I am not really sure how to broach this, and I’m also worried that maybe I AM being crazy and shallow. Am I in the wrong here? What should I do?

CortezFantastic posted:It's just people mad that they get paid well to talk for a living, really all it is. The show was in a right place/right time scenario and a bunch of people are just upset they didn't get there first. Also people are so conditioned to thinking about socialism as cold grey and unpleasant that people can't grasp the idea of socialism as anything but. People honestly believe Amber is sarcastic about her example of nationalizing the Whole Foods hot bar. How can a socialist want comrades to go to an adult-theme playground for vacation? That's not cold and unenjoyable at all!
