Best Giraffe posted:Troubled, economically disenfranchised young man describes 99.9% of all terrorists on the planet Terrorists actually tend to be middle class, and are reacting to a lack of some higher principle they feel is missing in their boring lives. There are notable exceptions, like the Charlie Hebdo shooters, who one of them IIRC was a pizza delivery guy.

The nations were already there. All we did was rehabilitate Nazis and war criminals, then pump them full of development capital.

https://twitter.com/MarkAmesExiled/status/900681537481564161 This tweet has since been deleted, but reading the actual article it's not much better. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/23/world/middleeast/yemen-cholera-humanitarian-crisis.html?mcubz=3 According to this article, history starts in 2014 when the Houthis took over Sana'a. It reports the facts, in which it's clear that the Saudi Coalition with American assistance, is responsible for the cholera outbreak. Bombing of residential areas and civilian infrastructure directly caused the failure of sewage systems that led to this crisis. The Saudi coalition's economic blockade of Yemen has also made the civilian population more vulnerable to cholera through malnutrition and lack of medicine - especially children. But the editorial line of the article pretends that both sides are at fault, and that this is just a natural consequence of a war where both sides refuse to back down. America's role as an accessory to biological warfare on a civilian population is also never directly confronted.

Main Paineframe posted:it read to me like "white supremacy doesn't matter unless you think it matters, which gives it power, black people are actually doing just fine as long as they don't worry about racism", which seemed to me to be a profoundly dumb take It's easy to not worry about white supremacy unless you're directly affected when you're a member of the black professional or bourgeois class.

Making art unavailable to the public because one of the participants is problematic is highly reactionary, imo. Movies especially are collaborative efforts, and shouldn't be erased from the public just because a lead actor turns out to be some kind of sex prevert.

Nebakenezzer posted:In a supreme irony, Nietzsche fuckin' hated the proto-nazis of his time, and anytime he had to say anything remotely critical of Semitic culture he would immediately follow it up with a complement about Semitic culture, usually phrased in a way to specifically poo poo on proto-nazi beliefs, like "everything good in European culture was derived from Jewish culture." It's not that ironic considering Nietzsche's philosophy was a constructive one, and valued creativity over all other pursuits. The reactionaries of Nietzche's day, and the Nazis who would follow, glorified the past and sought to elevate their own ersatz imitations of perceived past glories instead of a genuine and creatively original culture. The Nazis took this all a step further by destroying actually existing German and European cultures to supplant them with their own perverse vulgarities. Nietzsche certainly is a reactionary thinker in his own right, but in an individualistic way. To inflict misery and suffering was contrary to his idealistic framework.

Nebakenezzer posted:I've actually tried to decide how much of a reactionary* Nietzsche was when it comes to his vision for a way forward, and it is genuinely hard. He's a brilliant critic of any number of topics IMO but he does seem to have this "return to the old ways" thrust in his thought. This is made complicated still further by some of his assumptions being wrong, so you get this thing where Nietzsche is super concerned about X but X is a misunderstanding of some sort and we really wouldn't think about it today. By reactionary, I mean that Nietzsche was opposed to equitable justice, socialism, etc., and embraced an aristocratic idealism. Though to his credit, Nietzsche's aristocracy was the creative leadership of the Overman, and not determined by lineage. I don't see how that's distinguishable from Capitalism to be honest. I mean, you can claim that capitalists obfuscate the true creatives in society by claiming credit through their bourgeois social relations - and while that's true - it's not something I think Nietzsche could really grasp the implications of considering his background. His ideology was deeply flawed, but there's more value to his philosophy and writing than any of his contemporaries in the German reaction.
