He actually said the following:

"Personally, if I were you? I would X" is not synonymous with "I hereby require you to do X." It's a suggestion, not a requirement.

I'm re-skimming the episode. Basil talks about the police "brutalizing" students they arrest at around 16:00. I will try to find where she says that people suffered dislocations.

It's a bad suggestion, then, because the rest of the podcast doesn't have anything to do with the conversation.

I mean, they did. They said they wanted to hear the full description of what the lady said about the police brutality. It's totally fine to ask for sources. They don't need to listen to the whole thing.

And they asked for a timestamp because it's nearly two hours long. It's seen as very bad form to just give someone a huge thing and make them find it themselves.

It's not really hair splitting because there isn't really any nuance between "it happened" vs "it didn't."

You're being kind of silly and asserting that saying it hasn't happened is some sort of endorsement of any future action. It's just a literal factual statement based on the linear nature of how time works and not some value statement.

As of today, there have been no reported major injuries at Columbia.

An hour and a half is typical podcast length. “Huge” would be two hours plus in my estimation. And again, nobody was “making” them do anything.

If I asked someone to give evidence for their point and they said “listen to this podcast” I’d tell them to get hosed. That’s a “do your own research” kind of response. If someone wants to make a point it’s on them to back it up.

Nah, c'mon. Like I'm much more likely to believe the organizer than I am what gets filtered through news, but giving people actual sources and timestamps so they don't have to go through the whole thing to know what you're talking about or to get more specific descriptions/the words of the person in question is a good thing.

It is rude, but I think the core sentiment of "that's too long and I'm just going to continue to disagree with you unless you have something more concise" is valid. I don't have time to go listen to an hour of whatever every time I disagree with someone on the Internet.

At that point I would probably take a step back and ask myself how committed I am to disagreeing with this person on the internet.

Nope. Requiring that people listen to a whole rear end YouTube video or podcast ep is not acceptable. Nobody was required to pull up a timestamp either, but I appreciate that Majorian did. Good overall outcome.

Huh? I don't get what you're saying, my whole point is that I'm not that committed. That's why I'm not going to listen to the podcast, that would be increased commitment. I'll keep thinking what I do and they can think what they do.

The point is that it's rude and obnoxious to tell people to go read some book or watch a long video to get your point. It is, as you basically put, a way to make people

Uncle Boogeyman posted:

back off from the argument because it's too much of a hassle to try and engage with "go watch a long podcast/video/read this book" for an internet argument. Which is why it is much preferred that if someone has a source to back up their claim, they direct someone directly where to find the source.

A ceasefire isn't going to be enough at this point. Nothing less than complete financial divestment, no more arms sales, and a commitment to Palestinian self-determination & reconstruction should or will be an acceptable sop--and we know that the current makeup of U.S. government will never agree to those terms. (eta: Also getting rid of anti-BDS loyalty oaths & laws.)

I have some first-hand knowledge of running as a delegate to the DNC and maybe it's easy in your neck of the woods but ime it's extremely hard to overcome institutional barriers and decades of rear end-kissing to the PTB that afford that influence. And that's leaving aside the institutional barriers to becoming a voting member of the DNC's rules committee to even get poo poo on the official platform (fwiw, which isn't much).

I'm sure there will be delegates who make their voices heard against genocide while present at the convention, particularly since the delegate-selection process requires that certain seats are held by younger people, but I'm guessing that most people who run or who have run as Biden delegates lean toward the hardcore Biden supporters who can afford the $5000 or so it takes to go to a national convention.

The delegates from my neck of the woods are all local politicians who haven't had a word to say publicly about Gaza except that they "condemn antisemitism".

edit: If I misunderstood the meaning of "who did what I did" then I apologize.
