doverhog posted:It's pretty clear from the post that I'm making no comment about the situation of any of these countries, but rather about the arguments used against refugees and/or immigrants. People hate bankers because they think they're undermining society for their own gains. People hate Jews because they think they're undermining society for their own gains. Therefore, hating bankers is basically the same as being antisemitic.

hard counter posted:The comic book format could've been a wonderfully unique form of expression like the other artistic mediums but legislators decided it was for children and created legislation to pretty much enforce that reality. At least for a long time. It's a real shame that happened. Same but for video games.

Jerry Cotton posted:Well they certainly had less scripture which, coincidentally, means less terrible stuff. I mean sure it was all murder and more murder but less murder because we say so. I was really coming more from the fact they acknowledged that other gods existed and "belonging to a different religion" meant someone was seeking the blessing of that god. There was still (self-)flagellation, human sacrifices, and ritualistic suicide, but religious violence was usually preformed internally and exclusively for ceremonial purposes.

Wheat Loaf posted:How do we define "dad rock" exactly? Is it a particular subset of classic rock or just classic rock in general? Essentially pop-rock from the 60s to 70s. Everyone I know who lionizes those bands as The Best (and isn't just someone who wants to be young again) tend to be this weird sort of anti-hipster who are smug as all hell but don't even bother being fake-creative.

The ACLU deserves at least some of the blame for everything that happened in Charlottesville. They supported a group of violent white supremacist who are directly responsible for one death and multiple severe injuries, that blood is on their hands.

Jerry Cotton posted:One of these is not like the others: cars are a luxury item so it's normal to worry about car repairs. The most lauded public transportation system in country is effectively a cover for a slush fund and is so terribly managed that some random guy hijacking the trains and busses made them run significantly more smoothly. Anyone who believes that cars are a luxury item is living comfortably enough to be considered rich.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I don't mean their authority to beat innocent people to death, I mean their authority to constantly monitor technically innocent people at all times if they think they might pose a threat. That's just the liberal version of "deploy squads of veterans to patrol every school in the country." At best it's logistically impossible and would more likely lead to something worse than random mass killings.

Linking crimes to mental illness is an extremely tired attempt to absolve a society of whatever issues are actually causing those crimes, even when one of the issues is a lack of mental healthcare. Trying to "diagnose" crime like it's a form of abnormal behavior instead of a direct response to the social and economic factors an individual experiences only serves to justify the castle doctrine/stand your ground mentality.

Langosta Whiteman posted:MLK Jr. was wrong. So was Gandhi. Life's too short to act passively im(unpopular)o. Both MLK and Gandhi never advocated for strict non-violence, their legacy is being specifically used to qwell any sort of effective resistance to the status quo. Both presented themselves as the alternative to a violent uprising and both worked with groups that did advocate for vioent action. If there's one lesson from their life to be learned, it's that you should never make peace or compromise with your enemy.

Accordion Man posted:You could primary bad Democrats in safe districts for more left-leaning Democratic candidates. You still need to vote for them to get in though so the point still applies, fricking vote on all levels of government. gently caress that, primary every Democrat in every district. If you lose, very loudly declare your refusal to support the victor until they give your organization the means to influence the candidate. And if they don't, shut them down. The Dems have proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they'd rather be a controlled minority party than do anything to upset their donors and break decorum. Voting for a centrist Democrat, even when the Republican is a horrific monster of a human being, is actively voting against your interests.
