Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Well, yeah, but how do they get the regular folks on board with it, are they all longing for the days with lead in everything including the gas exhaust in the air and uranium in the glow-in-the-dark paint or do they just think God would never let them run out of resources so recycling is for none-believers? These people look out the window and say "Welp, the environment seems fine to me, why should I have to change anything I'm doing?" It's the exact equivalent of racial/sexual privilege. It's a narrative that tells people they're doing everything just right already and don't have to change or sacrifice anything, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to get their greedy little fingers into your pocket (or take away your fun). USA A-OK! And it the planet warms up a few degrees, so what? I like nice sunny days!

Old already but this is 100% how senior citizens convince themselves climate change is a bunch of hooey. All they talk about is the weather. That's how you hobnob. When all you talk about is the weather, the way you have an animated conversation is to grouse about how the weather has failed to match up to the expectations of the forecasts. Of course you and your friends all knew better; you've got your own systems for telling whether it's gonna rain or not. Those drat eggheads on the news, what do they know? App? Pssh. They get paid whether or not they're ever right. Ever notice how they never face any consequences for being wrong about the weather? And now they talk about "climate change". Yeah, like we're going to take these clowns at their word about something nobody can see happening or prove and will cost us a ton of money. Dang it, back in the 70s they all talked about a coming ice age! These people couldn't find their rear end with both hands. It's all a bunch of back-patting and graft if you ask me. Old people need better hobbies is what I'm saying I guess

McCain aside, the most nonplussed I have been about this whole Comey thing is discovering that the way Donald loving Trump, King of the Deal handles quid-pro-quo glad-handing is by saying things like "We had that thing, you know". Like that's some bad-movie-grade bullshit. It's the kind of thing Dave at the neighborhood barbecue would say about borrowing your lawnmower or about a clandestine tip on a weed dealer. I would have thought the world's foremost, real-life Atlantic City mob boss would have, like, a completely other level of vocabulary for dealing with letting your dinner companion know you hadn't forgotten about X or Y favor you supposedly owed each other. The older I get the more I realize there is no more "grown-up" to get.

skylined! posted:I haven't gotten a good response yet from asking 'so what if they leaked, the info describes illegal activities and abuse of power'. unsurprisingly. Yeah, I think the "so what?" riposte is actually not a bad one to try. If someone is arguing that something is bad but doesn't really know why, like if they're just repeating a talking point or they have a ready-made label they just want to slap on as many people as they can, you can take a lot of wind out of their sails by making them explain what's so bad about it. Especially if you use "so what" as a pivot to something damning of your own. It's like the thing where you respond to a racist joke by making them explain why it's funny.

Mr Interweb posted:The part at the end threw me off a bit, though. Initially I thought they were trying to get rid of him cause they thought he was some loser nerd and not a true believer, but then the one guy shouts "get that nazi poo poo out of here!". So they're actually somewhat, sorta, kinda not totally horrible people? I think it's more that the non-meme nazis really fail to see themselves as nazis. The pepe guys will wear nazi regalia because "kek", but the mainstream/confederate/MAGA people will point at swastikas with that body snatchers shriek just like anyone else. They simply won't accept it if you try to explain that they, too, are nazis.

Mendrian posted:You have an entire generation of people who are now so far away from Nazism that it's an academic exercise for them rather than a practical concern. They challenge the very idea that Nazis are evil either in spite of the fact or because of the fact that they have been told (correctly) that Nazism is an affront to American values. I was predicting that you either are seeing or will see a wave of neo-fascists who embrace literal Nazism on the grounds that they aren't allowed to like or embrace Nazism, in the same way that a group of people embraced Satanism essentially on the grounds that it was taboo and forbidden. Because a common conclusion with excessive navel gazing is, "everything I have been told not to do is wrong." This is actually what I was always led to believe was the reason for neo-nazi skinheads in Germany. It wasn't so much about white power/hating Jews as it was about rebelling against The Man.
