Ogmius815 posted:He did but not immediately. Bernie never did it. My point is that when you insist on receiving $1.5m for something of huge value with a market value of at least $5m (the article suggests the DNC has probably already raised about $15m using the list? By the way), that's hardly a "grift". well she lost so maybe she should give her list over to help the party recover and the extremely wealthy person shouldn't try to turn a profit on it

I mean, considering a non-zero amount of coverage of the wedding leadup was basically 'won't it be nice when this dirty american mud person is made into a proper brit' I'd say having a ceremony that genuinely did an excellent job blending both royal traditions and allowing Meghan to have the freedom to express herself too and pay tribute to her own tastes and roots and all isn't a completely minor thing. I'm pretty sure the royal family who married straight up German fascists is still a pretty big living symbol of white supremacy tho yea.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Here's the best summary of his position that I can find, it's literally verbatim from an interview he gave in April. Unedited. You tell me what about this strikes you as "seriously completely out in left field" Yea I think he likes to kinda troll people by making more inflammatory statements that rile up the Red Scare folks but his core view has always been 'yea Russia tried poo poo, we try poo poo all the time, everyone tries poo poo. I can't imagine how people can think Russian bots genuinely can push the lever further than the dark money and political machines that are 100% legal and allowed though'. Like, yea no poo poo Trump is corrupt, no one not on the right has ever disagreed there, and yea he probably obstructed justice and has shady business dealings, but none of those are actually 'collusion' in the sense that the #resist team uses it. Nothing beyond embarrassing emails was actually hacked and votes weren't changed.

He's just so stupid he decided to overtly go "HELLO YES WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRIBE ME? DADDY NEEDS HIS BRIIIIIIIIIIBE" and even a complete dipshit can't reasonably ignore that.

BrandorKP posted:It's demonstrated fact that the Irish, Greeks, Italians, etc were at one point considered "non-white" and then later considered "white". it wasn't really a conspiracy so much as 'whiteness' in the west is forever linked with 'acceptance by all institutions'. It's like how freaks like the Bell Curve dude write about how to be 'normal' Americans you need to do all these flags that boil down to 'middle class white life' like, I dunno 'have you ever owned a pickup truck' or whatever. The idea is this normalcy is tied to white middle class life so that any random rich guy can go on a 'listening tour' or whatever to gain communion with ~real america~ but, say, a black guy in the projects is locked out of that. Whiteness is something to earn because the unspoken other side of that is 'whiteness is social and legal acceptance', and by that token blackness is contagious. The reason why the white poor are so bad is because they live around black people in the projects, but there's nobility in THAT poverty because they frame the virtues of hard workin real Americans around what amounts to 'has your family owned a farm or business in the last three or four generations'. White people have an easier time tracing that back to say 'oh, yea' than black people who tend to trace that back to 'oh, no, we were the farm equipment'. In the grand sense it's a divide between rural and urban poverty but even THEN we treat white rural poverty as either a joke or some mystical noble concept where you're basically a shaman but minority rural poverty is outright ignored or worse we get poo poo like white people's old folk remedies being magic and wonderful but, say, voodoo is scary and gross and evil. This is a really long, rambly, way to say there's no 'conspiracy' it's an issue of whiteness being granted when society basically decides there's worse, more obvious, 'others' to focus on than what you are. People stop caring that the O'Doyle family next door talks funny and is probably the wrong Christian when on the other side the Washingtons moved in and holy gently caress those guys are BLACK we gotta get together and get those freaks out of here.

BrandorKP posted:I guess what I see of it is that it is unearned. Well yea no one is really born bigoted or whatever and of course whiteness isn't actually 'earned', we're talking culturally here. If you genuinely want to try to work to your kid's whiteness not being toxic or whatever just raise them to be socially aware of the world beyond their bubble. Like, there's no real light way to answer 'why did the cops taze the basketball player and have to say sorry now' that isn't just 'because he was a racist and probably knew his department would protect him if it was any black person other than a major celebrity' but that's how someone learns 'oh so poo poo's kinda hosed up for different people isn't it' and from there can learn 'so we should work to change things for the better'.

Radish posted:Sure is nice of these Republicans to give Democrats all these secret tips to win elections! You'd think they'd not want to do that since it really makes no sense but as we're taking in all these Never Trump refugees, like Comey and the ghouls that masterminded the Iraq war, and asking their opinions we might as well take ones from the RNC as well! I love that the party leaders of the DNC are genuinely dumb enough to fall for literally 'oh nooo don't throw me in the brier patch'. Like, these people write these 'as a lifetime republican who's done nothing but support republican agendas let me warn you democrats not to get TOO left' things and people ACTUALLY loving read them and go 'oh dear, I think he's right, how nice of him to warn us.' Like, is this just the apotheosis of the West Wing Poisoning these people are dying of? They just assume politics is a very noble and sporting thing that no one wants to win the WRONG way? What broke in these people's brains to make them like this other than their complete insulation from the real world harm that comes from this stuff? Sorry I've been finally reading about that Ozfest thing where a bunch of neolibs had a party in the most bougie part of the eastern seaboard where they jacked off each other and I've spent the day wanting to rage puke on someone.

This is also good if you're not down with the trap https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/a-neoliberal-nightmare-at-ozy-fest-2018-702600/ quote:The whole thing seemed like a joke cooked up by Chapo Trap House, so it was fitting that I went with Matt Christman and Will Menaker of that podcast. Often held up as the prime example of “the dirtbag left” (a term originally coined by CTH’s Amber A’Lee Frost), the show combines leftist political commentary with irreverent humor. It devotes quite a bit of time to dragging on the centrist liberals who make up the establishment wing of the Democratic Party – or, as the Chapos are fond of calling them, “lanyards.”
