Yinlock posted:no most nationalism is just seeing yourself as Better because you're from Place, and being from Place is an innate measure of worth It's actually far more than this. It's a claim on power and loyalty, deployed for a variety of purposes by a wide range of actors, some more sympathetic than others. All you're saying here is that you're better than people who hold bag wrong opinions and that they are automatically diseased vermin for not having the correct opinions. It's an opinion which can only be held by someone who wants credit on the basis of holding the correct ideology but doesn't understand it or how it relates to that of others.

See, the thing about nationalism is that it has all sorts of very good arguments against it. But also in reality, the only form of democratic representation present is at the level of the nation. So in effect, the criticism becomes one about democracy being bad because it leads to nationalism, which is bad. We need more trade agreements to reign this tendency in with the power of the free international market.

rudatron posted:'nations' are an imaginary concept that perpetuates petty tribalistic tendencies The state too, is a terrible thing. This was discovered conveniently as democratic control seriously threatened capital's hold on it. Does the thought of the state owning industry terrify you? If not, why not? Is not the privatization of state owned industries not a great blow for freedom against this beast which creates and perpetuates petty tribalism?

comedyblissoption posted:i absolutely love that trump is making GBS threads all over the ~*decorum*~ of national politics and is helping people understand the farce it actually is i had an epiphany the other day that what trump really means is that anything is possible that also means actually having to face up to real politics where nationalism, socialism, communism, and fascism are all real possibilities but that's just waking up from the matrix which was actually neoliberalism all along also i hear you can end up with some nasty jams from an outbreak of corbynism

TomViolence posted:Words like oval office and arse and whatnot didn't used to be offensive, what used to get you (sometimes literally) excoriated was blasphemy. You could say oval office all you want as long as you didn't take the lord's name in vain, but in our secular age blasphemy's been superseded by reminding folk they have vital, material bodies full of piss, poo poo and blood, which kind of reflects our unease with our tenuous and fragile existence in a newly godless universe. So really what this policing of vulgarity tells us is that we're obsessed with morbidity and disgusted by our own profane materiality, it's a very gnostic take on things when you think about it so the divine has been sort of discursively resurrected as a malevolent demiurge that we fear angering through saying bad words so really when you think about it, South park was right all along. 'swounds!

oval office loses some of its power when you have lively slang like 'gash' to slur with instead also it was a genuine term of endearment in the victorian era or something?

wikipedia posted:However, in Chaucer's usage there seems to be an overlap between the words "oval office" and "quaint" (possibly derived from the Latin for "known"). "Quaint" was probably pronounced in Middle English in much the same way as "oval office". It is sometimes unclear whether the two words were thought of as distinct from one another. Elsewhere in Chaucer's work the word queynte seems to be used with meaning comparable to the modern "quaint" (curious or old-fashioned, but nevertheless appealing). ...huh

Captain_Maclaine posted:It's an accusation of sexual inadequacy, with heavy implications that the target is a failure as a man (as real men keep their women satisfied and thus loyal). yeah but in this context implying that a woman requires and deserves sexual pleasure rather than insulting masculinity by denigrating gay men is 'progress' even if the contextual implication is that an unsatisfied woman will seek out black men for sexual pleasure which is all sorts of 'problematic'

hakimashou posted:It wouldn't have made a difference. Britain blaming itself for iraq is vanity. turns out you can choose to participate in an american war or not like canada didn't go to iraq but was in afganistan (which while not a great idea was way more understandable than iraq) but you see tony blair was actually really into the whole iraq thing which is why people blame him for britain participating; funny how he made a decision and now he's accountable for that
