XMNN posted:wtf is "role authority" and would this anonymous source like to expand on how Keith possesses it There's a real tendency for centrists to invent meaningless new terms and act like they're supposed to be important to justify their dumb poo poo they have no real excuse for

The same story as the rest of the world; the centrists have become fanatical true believers in what the tories are well aware was just ad copy to be discarded when it's no longer useful.

Everyone but the fascists gets absolutely nowhere with flag-loving, we've seen it over and over. Even the loving Democrats have started to maybe accidentally understand that the right is going to call them communists no matter what they do.

goddamnedtwisto posted:As the boomers die off their Gen X kids are inheriting their houses and are definitely replacing them in the political landscape, except now they're also all for inherited wealth and influence. I would not be surprised if British boomers have the same rate of surprising their kids with triple reverse mortgages on top of giving away all their money to nigerian scammers and alt-right talking heads and whatever's left goes to pallative care. keep punching joe posted:The boomers will never die, eventually they'll find a way to somehow being John malcovich themselves into the heads of whatever comes after gen z. We call that a Get Out now, though oddly enough those are implied to exist in the same universe. That said though, I can't think of any finer punishment for a boomer than to stick them into the head of a post gen z child.

ThomasPaine posted:I think the hegemony of neoliberalism really has given us all brain worms to the extent that 'just in it for themselves' is the default position, and it seems almost naive to think otherwise. And definitely that's true of so many people, even most people. It takes work to examine your own ideological shortcomings, and that's something lots of us don't do out of apathy, ignorance, or because we lack the skills to do so effectively. It's easy to forget, but the truth is some people do genuinely believe in something bigger, even now. That those people are immediately called out as being cynical and just using it all for optics is one of the most depressing examples of how ingrained neoliberalism is in all of us. This explains completely why the media establishment was completely unable to comprehend Corbyn, or why he was so popular with some people - hence all the lazy 'cultist' poo poo. The idea that someone might actually genuinely have an idea about something grander than 'making money' or 'looking important' was totally alien to them, so there had to be something untoward happening under the surface. This is pretty much the liberal reaction to the left in a nutshell, all the #Resistance types being confused and angered by leftists going 'What's their angle?' They don't even understand the difference between grifting and activism, since progressive causes have been so thoroughly co-opted and hollowed out by woke capitalism.

Grey Hunter posted:God this. it seems that every film that does well at the box office is still "rubbish". You know, sometimes I don't want to be intelectually challanged, I just want to see people wave glowing sticks around, mechs fight giant monsters or Dwane Johnstone make wizecracks while running through the jungle! The funny thing is that they still manage to screw that up, see the last Star Wars. You give people brainless schlock they ask for and they hate it

jabby posted:Shrek is good. The animation looks pretty dated now but out of all the possible criticisms the Guardian went with "it looks bad compared to today's animated films" and "it doesn't respect the original incredibly dull, played out and sexist fairytale it parodys". I need to read the original Shrek book, every page I've seen is like a god tier shitpost

Shrek gives the middle finger to Disney by saying gently caress your beautiful aristocrats in love bullshit, a couple of ogres can love each other and a donkey and a dragon can gently caress and be happy together

mycomancy posted:Hi, microbial synthetic biologist and assistant professor of biology here. Yes, you are correct: giving a contagious, airborne virus a highly heterogeneous population of vaccinated people is just about the most perfect way for said virus to evolve into a vaccine-dodging variant, if such a thing is possible genetically. The US and the UK are playing Russian roulette with these stupid "Open'R'Up!!" policies, and it scares the holy hell outta me. Nurglite cultists, I'm telling ya.

The Question IRL posted:With kids, you do give them agency. But I part it has to be earned. Not out of some desire to control their lives. Came up in the boomer thread that a shitload of parents of especially boomer age just don't teach their kids things, and don't seem to believe in teaching. They just go straight from 'You're too young, you'll just mess it up' to 'You're old enough to know how to do this yourself' smoothly, if not outright refusing to teach anything (besides political indoctrination) and calling it off at the slightest excuse. The 'innocent child' is just giving your kid a full-time job cosplaying a Hummel figurine.

Bible quotes are nothing more than ad copy to Christians. Jesus is a mascot. It's like saying the Disney corporation doesn't live up to the ideals of Mickey Mouse.
