Christman’s perspective is that Warren kneecapped the only viable socialist candidate in generations and thus hosed things up on a long term basis. All Bannon is doing these days is running some weird Mind Warrior think tank or some poo poo. Not trying to get into a D&D argument (and especially not trying to get into an argument about Red Scare because who gives a gently caress) here but it really doesn’t seem unreasonable.

I get it, warren’s definitely being damaging right now and sure bannon isn’t at the height of his power , I just think it’s a needlessly hot take, and there’s absolutely no reason to defend red scare podcast at all, let alone for having bannon on.

And with that I’ll let it go lest I become an iosm

The people who complain about the MCU movies being soulless and artless crap must have never seen any of the movies made before Iron Man or any of the DC movies.

Absolutely. There are good superhero movies before the mcu, but they really are the exception and not the rule.

Yea it’s lighthearted and charming, and the stakes are super low (well for a marvel movie) so I found it refreshing.

A few have been conditioned to actually see themselves as inferior while others think they'll be 'one of the good ones' and be an exception to the rule. I'm guessing Kent State girl is the latter.

Phyllis Schlafly was another like that going around giving big lectures on how women should be at home cooking for their husband.

I keep seeing ads for a new tv miniseries about her, no idea if it’s any good.

Also her son was the guy behind conservapedia.

Complaints which included breaking contracts, unjust firings, firing assault victims, covering for sexual harassment and general harassment, and hiding evidence they knew one of their employees was grooming underage fans before committing suicide. Brad Jones' only comments were to say people were just whining and not seeing both sides, or to dismiss it entirely.

Yea, he sided with the abusers, and was like "They're just mad they didn't eat at applebees" or something to that effect, and kept digging in and other internet people harassed him and he blamed allison and change the channel, and really just came off as an rear end (especially since allison had no problem providing receipts) The biggest shame is I really enjoyed it when his friends would review movies in the car. I don't know if they're still involved in that stuff, or got out, but I'd still watch them talk about movies sans brad

Varg is one of the most famous figures in the development of Scandinavian black metal. That means he's a guy who stabbed another musician to death, burned down a bunch of churches because paganism, and distances from other Nazis because they're not extreme enough for him.

I loved his feud with the golden one where they both accused each other of being Jewish agents leading people astray from the true faith (paganism and Christianity respectively)

Burzum were great, but there’s a lot of good metal bands who aren’t nazis. Should probably go through all the metal bands I’ve had on my iPod for years and check for other nazi ones

I've only ever read Starship Troopers as a youngster and was bored to tears. Gave up on heinlein after that. If you are looking for a book that's about bug wars that's actually fun search out :



which is about a race of lizard people in an endless space war with bugs and it's kicking rad. I reread it once in college and still enjoyed it but that was fifteen years ago so ymmv.

I listened to grimes once looking for something else, she's every mid 20 something arty (think period blood cookies kinda art) trustfunditarian right down to the hair and head-up-rear end lyrics. Fine if that's what you like but I can meet three of her in a Seattle coffee haus under normal conditions.

Also cyberpunk 2069 is the star wars of cyberpunk

Grimes' music slaps, and I'll not hear anything to the contrary.

That said, given her recent life choices, I haven't bothered checking out her new one. I'd rather play some Charli XCX, who as far as I know isn't awful and isn't dating an evil billionaire.

Urgh, I will be happy if I never see that pandemic video again. For the context, my crazy friend posted a video which then had a very long conversation and several other videos posted. I actually watched them and explained why they were terrible, which led to the following discussion...






That's not what project mocking bird was. I mean it was real (and probably some equivalent still exists) and the info was declassified in the 2000s, but it was the cia infiltrating liberal journalism outlets to push anti-soviet and anti-leftist propaganda.

It's like when people freak out about mkultra and cia mind control experiments. Real and terrible, but it mostly just amounted to getting people high on lsd without their consent. Did it create the unabomber? Maybe in the sense that it cemented a paranoid distrust of government in him, but not in the way that he was programmed to blow people up.

If you want Q Anon for Taylor Swift, there was also a big thing in all the white supremacist forums where they were convinced that she was a secret nazi, entirely on the grounds that she's never explicitly said otherwise, and presumably because of all the winks and nudges people looking for conspiracies always manage to find. It kind of petered out when she endorsed Hillary and blasted Trump in 2016, but it was very much a thing.

I'm sure most any celebrity has at least one following of internet broke brains deep in some bizzarre rabbit hole.

Iirc she never endorsed Hillary and didn’t come out as liberal or whatever until 2018 expressing regret she never endorsed Hillary. A lot of it was how she was a secret 4chan regular

I mean that shouldn’t even matter given the eggshell skull law right?

The term implies that if a person had a skull as delicate as that of the shell of an egg, and a tortfeasor who was unaware of the condition injured that person's head, causing the skull unexpectedly to break, the defendant would be held liable for all damages resulting from the wrongful contact, even if the tortfeasor did not intend to cause such a severe injury.
