SickZip posted:Dear God at how hard you guys are working to pretend that ethnic/in-group favoritism isn't a basic and universal bit of cognitive bias and prejudice. Spending thousands of words on justification and establishment of Proper Leftist Credentials and Dogma before your willing to even indirectly address the matter is insane. there is not a shortage of jewish socialists, and yet, weirdly, the NYT SickZip views as a hive of degenerate jewry is unwilling to extend them the same courtesies it extends to a Ross Douthat or an Erik Prince. wonder why

Volkerball posted:I couldn't tell you where it started, but when I first noticed it was during the course of the uprising in Syria, and I do tend to think it rose to a pretty high level throughout it. There's been a number of pieces out since then that outline what has since been dubbed red-brown convergence, but I'll illustrate it this way. If I speak to someone who tells me that Bashar al-Assad is fighting terrorism, and that we need to support him and Russia because the alternate is people like Hillary Clinton and the American center/liberals who would risk or want to start world war 3 regime changing him. That the only Syrians worth mentioning are terrorists, and that ISIS is backed by US democrats who are in the pockets of the 9/11 committing Saudi royal jihadists. That reports of Assad's human rights abuses are overblown or flat out lies perpetrated by the mainstream media and the American establishment that has lied to us before, and by Syrian jihadist networks that fabricate evidence and stories to try to get support for an American invasion. I would have no loving clue what ideology that person subscribed to, I would just know that it starts with "far." People curious about why this is have done the dirty work finding some of the common sources that central players in each ideologies pundits rely on. SPLC had a really good piece on it that was taken down after Max Blumenthal threatened legal action. I think it still gets passed around via web archive but I don't have time to find it. I first became aware of the communo-fascist conspiracy against the United States, Mandrake, during the physical act of love

I'm not religious but I sure as hope there's hell because there's a few folks who should visit eternally. because they do not make money by telling you they hosed up. if you sit around waiting for people to administer justice to themselves, you are still going to be waiting on judgement day

axeil posted:Yeah, the point of the Daily Show after about 2003 or so wasn't that it was making fun of politics but it was mostly about making fun of media and using public shame/ridicule to try and make them better. Colbert did the same thing with talking head shows, except he was so successful that a lot of people didn't realize it was satire. https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/status/865055182652100608 http://www.cc.com/video-clips/u9jqcs/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-henry-kissinger-pt--1 yeah, that's a guy who would be in a real fuckin' hurry to mock people rolling over and showing their bellies whenever someone with power so much as glances in their direction
