Fidel Castronaut posted:have right wing boycotts ever worked? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Puppy_Episode quote:"The Puppy Episode" and DeGeneres's attendant coming out generated enormous publicity before the show aired. Right-wing groups like the American Family Association pressured ABC to drop the storyline and Ellen sponsors not to advertise; two occasional advertisers, J. C. Penney and Chrysler, decided not to buy time during the episode. Another sponsor, Wendy's, decided not to advertise on Ellen again at all.[13] Despite these losses of potential advertisers, ABC turned away ads from two LGBT-oriented sponsors, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and lesbian vacation company Olivia Cruises.[14] Jerry Falwell called DeGeneres "Ellen Degenerate", to which DeGeneres responded, "I've been getting that since the fourth grade. I guess I'm happy I could give him work."[15] GLAAD organized "Come Out With Ellen" house parties across the United States[3] and HRC created "Ellen Coming Out House Party" kits that included invitations, posters and an Ellen trivia game. HRC had initially planned to send out about 300 kits. Deluged with requests, they ended up sending out about 3,000.[14] ABC affiliate WBMA-LP in Birmingham, Alabama, citing "family values", first sought ABC's permission to move the episode out of prime-time to a late-night slot. When ABC declined the request, the affiliate refused to air the episode at all.[16] Local LGBT organization Pride Birmingham arranged for a satellite feed of the episode and rented a 5,000-seat theatre for a viewing party, with about 1,000 people attending.[17] Local activists circulated a petition requesting that Abilene, Texas-area affiliate KTXS-TV not air the episode but were unsuccessful.[16] They've won a few battles, but have lost the war over all. Like years later BILL O'REILLY told them to "gently caress off" when they pulled this poo poo on Ellen being a spokesperson for JC Penney.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C-2LJD4ZUY

Fidel Castronaut posted:Man, a victory twenty years ago and now the woman is one of the wealthiest people in media. They've lost the culture war because there isn't any major company that is going to cater specifically to white evangelical tastes anymore. Demographics just don't make that profitable for global companies. I'm very glad this has happened. As much as I find some of the patronizing to customers by some of these companies kinda eye rolling (The Audi Commercial for example. Well meaning, but yeah they don't actually practice what they preach), I'd MUCH rather have it be that we're in this era in which ellen and her network had to deal with that horseshit.

I am curious how the wokes like Jon Fullmac and bob and others will react. it's really weird how these people snake into power. I can see the majority of people in this country agreeing with trump for example on quite a few things, yet rejecting the Ted Cruz's of the world. Do the majority of people in this country see porn as a public threat or something? Like every Trump supporter I've ran into doesn't seem to give a poo poo about it.

It's nice to push republicans the hell out. That's fine and can be very good for the country right now, but the real problem I see is the democrats who actively aid Wall Street, their GOP colleagues with dismantling various government programs and institutions. The sort of people I'm talking about the Pelosi's, the Schumer's...what have you..need to be pushed out or pushed over to the (R) side (where they rightfully belong). My other fear is we'll see a lot of people use it as an excuse to grandstand..but I suppose that's going to come with the territory. e: THIS is what made the Tea Party effective. They kicked out a lot of Blue Dogs, and then they also would kick a lot of their own moderates the hell out.

Agean90 posted:The Angry Leftist movement already exists, it's just that's it's been only 3 weeks since trump took office so we're waiting for internal dnc electionsto see how big it'll be. rough timeline from memory IIRC. The "TEA PARTY" was unofficially started as a Ron Paul movement in 2008. I think there were "protests" against the RNC at the time because they felt they were betraying the values of the  constitution from things that Libetarians usually rage about. (to be fair? They did seem to protest against our foriegn policy, and "homeland security", both of which I agree with). Glenn Beck got a show on the day of Obama's Inauguration and started to kinda become a voice for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeWpKcYnAhg& It really started to evolve with Rick Santelli went on this rant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA The earliest "significant" Tea Party rally I can recall was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2baxw_YScxc Which dates it around April 15 or so. I want to say early March/April was when they were beginning to take power to be perfectly honest. I think the reason why there wasn't just this immediate counter protest against Obama was because Bush was one of the worst, most disliked presidents we had up until that moment and because it was a historically important moment in our country's history. e: The hatred of Bush was very "universal" in a lot of ways. No one wanted anything to do with him. The right began to see what a waste of times the Iraq wars were at that point, not to mention the economic collapse that happened under his watch.

Bob has...some unresolved issues it looks like. I think the tl;dr of his life was that jocks in HS kicked the poo poo out of him and he's never gotten over it. I'm a bit disappointed in Patton and a few others because they were a major influence in shaping my political views growing up. It was guys like him, and David Cross that really introduced me to a lot of topics that I had never really considered growing up in a republican household. "huh. The war IS bullshit.

It's not my cup of tea (nor was the original to be honest), but I'm happy they were happy about it. I don't know why the likes of Patton and others really give a poo poo about people not wanting to see a movie. Feels like for every couple of Rolfes, Amazing Atheist's (can I insert a banana reference here?) and others? You had a lot of girls who were really enthusiastic about it. So why care?

Dapper_Swindler posted:these people are fools and why i hate IDpol dumbasses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAbOlNemzFA&feature=share I think what bothers me is that the people that say this stuff often (ironically) seem to come from a place of privilege. To see someone who is so white they look like they should be in a propaganda poster for the third reich ranting about "White Supremecy", while enjoying the ability to make money as a result of their own privilege (be it race, be it the class that they came from) kinda speaks to their idiocy. I've had feminist/social justice friendly professors for example, that taught me a lot. It was never from a place of being condescending and they were very open to people asking questions about for example "Why the Cleveland Indians logo is racist". They never held a weird grudge against someone, and were able to explain it in a way that was more encouraging. It's more so a personal anecdote, but I appreciate them for introducing me to perspectives I'd have never considered otherwise. I'm sure that there are also goons here or other peeps that would educate people on various topics if someone genuinely wanted to engage in a discussion about it. I don't think it's so much that Id. Pol is the problem, as is this the sort of people that have hopped on the bandwagon to try to champion it's cause.

Yeah I'm getting that vibe for the latter as well. I recall learning some interesting defense of Iran and how women are treated within their state from a feminist professor I had. Something to the effect of as a society, they felt things were fine, and kinda preferred it to the western version of feminism.

R. Mute posted:i assume it's because islamophobes often disingenuously use feminist language to argue against islam, especially wrt the hijab. in actuality, most forms of feminism (aside from liberal feminism but who cares about them) aren't against hijabs. it's ultimately all about women's choice. and even if these women are being forced into wearing the hijab, banning them from public spaces or altogether would ultimately harm these women more when the fines target them or when they're forced (by both male influence from within their religious community as well as by the legislators enacting these laws) into staying out of public life. A good and quality post. Thanks muchly.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah it went to poo poo. i am curious how bad this poo poo will get. I think the problem I see from a lot of these articles is that they do in fact come from WASPs that come from relatively "privileged" backgrounds, and I think the concept of growing up in poverty is somewhat lost on them. What (sadly) winds up making you more akin to wanting to help out the poor and disenfranchised is having to have to go through rough times yourself. Not being able to find health insurance...struggling to feed yourself, your family...not finding work..stuff like that. It's not a right or a left thing. I've seen guys like Bill Kristol say stuff eerily similar to what was posted above for example. Rather it seems to be an issue of class.

Like I doubt that a lot of Hillary supporters were against the sort of policies that say someone to the left of Hillary was for. A lot of us were on the same page pre-election 2016 on quite a few things. The problem with these politicians, media figures and what have you is they take advantage of people wanting to be compassionate and often times stab them in the back as a result. It creates division and for what? So that things can remain the status quo? I sincerely doubt that someone who voted for HRC in the primary would even remotely fall into that category, and I'm sure there will be a few goons ITT who can confirm it to me.
