How will the poor bankers pay to heat their pools or fly to aspen for the ski season if they don't earn more in bonuses than the entire minimum wage class in total earnings? Think of how bereft of worth a life without d'agustation plates is!

Lindsey O. Graham posted:as an enemy of the cause, with an 18th century sword under my canopy bed, what should I expect when the end comes? The problem with relying on the army to preserve your power is when you send them to put down the uprising and they realise 'hey that's my cousin in the crowd, why should I shoot him?' Propping up the military as the social welfare state is going to have some unforseen consequences should the poor rise up.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah pretty much, its just cowardly libs looking for easy fights, and this poo poo is easy fights. I would argue the reason Ubisoft does diversity right is inextricably linked to why their games never work at launch.they have countless studios all over the worldand they end up with the most diverse creative teams almost by accident as a result. The downside of this obviously being that there is real communication issues leading to buggy messes.

Not a Step posted:GMOs are, in fact, very good and help make agriculture possible on the scales needed to feed the global population. The points of contention are mainly around the secretive nature of the research being done on GMOs. Its a shady and cutthroat world that intentionally hamstrings public research and oversight. The problem with GMOs and the legitimate argument for them being a path for imperialism is purely around patenting of genetic material. GMOs are the path forward unless these loonies want to go full Prince Charles and advocate for killing off 2/3 of the world's population.

^^^^ Hell, I'd vote for you on that platformEndorph posted:Yeah but those seem include people who don't own any dedicated game consoles but play games on their phones or on facebook, where simple mechanical-focused games are the only ones that exist, and you're only playing for five or ten minutes at a time so a narrative-heavy game isn't plausible. You can see evidence that women who spend more dedicated time playing games enjoy more narrative experiences more, like how Star Wars The Old Republic has more female players than an average MMO, and it's also an MMO with dialogue options and a dedicated cutscene mode, by a company with a reputation for involved narratives. If you remove mobile and facebook games from the population then you remove the majority of people who play games.

Lightning Lord posted:So is the reaction against "identity politics" here more an attempt to wrest it away from corporatism or what? Like how people now think shopping at Target is woke because morons are boycotting them and poo poo like that? The idpol warriors tend to be just as exclusionary and hateful/spiteful as /pol/ers. They just target their hate and exclusion at different parts of society. If your goal is inclusion and equality then the sort of rhetoric espoused by the loudest idpollers is damaging to the cause.

I think I know what you're saying but I just want to make sure this isn't "BLM is a hategroup" type garbage People who think that speech should be shut down with violence, or that certain groups in the population should be denied the franchise. Because the people losing the franchise in the specific case is cis white males or the people losing their first amendment rights are maga hat wearing yahoos a lot of people are happy to jump on the bandwagon and cheer for it. Before you decide you are going to strip a class of people a fundamental human right you should think long and hard about what you are planning to do and who else has done the same act but to a different class of people. BLM from everything I have seen is trying to restore fundamental rights to people who currently lack them so they really aren't anything to do with the sort of people I am talking about.

Reminder one of the heads of that security firm, Crowdstrike, is also a senior fellow of a think tank heavily involved in America's response to populism in Europe. Here is a valuable paper they published in mid 2016The Atlantic Council posted:A wave of far-right populism is sweeping across Europe. Once on the fringes of politics, extremist parties are capitalizing on the refugee crisis and the financial meltdown of 2008 to gain at the polls. The re-emergence of anti-immigrant and isolationist groups and parties in Europe erodes the European Union’s ability to coordinate policies for solving Europe’s crises. Indeed, their growing popularity undermines the basic tenets of the European project. Taking advantage of Europe’s far-right turn, Russia has been aiding its far-right allies, which in turn publicly support Putin’s geopolitical interests and foreign policy agenda. Western policymakers have been slow to recognize the problem and to effectively respond. At a time when Europe faces some of its greatest challenges, we urgently need strategy-driven policies to strengthen the transatlantic relationship. I do wonder how that security firm came up with the answer that Putin was helping a right wing populist win an election over a globalist.

Lightning Lord posted:Can you give me some examples of individuals or groups that advocate for this and aren't having their message disingenuously twisted by fascist idiots? The sex negative feminism being pushed by the kids of evangelicals would be a good option. Telling adults they aren't allowed to consent to something they and their partner find enjoyable is straight out of Puritanism. Also the people on journolist who were running organised campaigns to mob justice wrong think and silence what in their views were bad opinions. The absolute dearth of actual journalism nowis a direct result of these people pushing an activism before accuracy policy at a lot of the left publications. As a result we get places like the guardian and huffpo publishing pieces that the barest amount of fact checking would red flag. Howard Dean claiming hate speech isn't covered under the first amendment. People pulling their donations from the ACLU for supporting right wingers right to speech.
