Huge fan of this young lady, got laughed out of the movie thread for being a 30 min video but maybe this can work here
I randomly watched a clip from the 1992 Oscars on youtube a couple weeks ago and was immediately struck by the nonstop flurry of iconic actors and big movies. IMO the thing that hurts the Oscars most now is that these new stars don't really fucking matter, and nobody sees the films nominated for major awards. In 1992 the Best Picture noms were:
Silence Of The Lambs (winner)
Beauty And The Beast
Bugsy
JFK
The Prince Of Tides
All successful films to varying degrees, and most feature major actors. Warren Beaty, Barbara Streisand, Kevin Costner, Anthony Hopkins, etc. Whereas today...who gives a fuck about anyone in The Shape Of Water?
The films people see today won't even sniff an Oscar nom, ie cape shit and various remakes and blockbuster sequels. There's seemingly not much room or interest in smaller films today, so those films go largely unnoticed. Then awards season comes around and no one has seen anything outside of...whatever Jennifer Lawrence starred in I guess.

Not saying those are smaller films, I was making an additional point that there are fewer small films today. Hell there are fewer "medium" films or whatever you want to call them.

This thread was kinda specifically created not to let it get itself inundated with the same derails and eventual nonsense from the Peterson thread, so i'll be brief, but I would point out leadbelly, that I, along with many others, addressed the argument about the left's supposed rise toward authoritarianism as a defense for these people's seemingly exclusive focus on the left in that thread.
By a slew of pretty convincing objective measures, authoritarianism seems much more on the rise on the right than the left right now. Same goes for the level of depth and breadth toward controlling speech. Older people are more in favor of curbing it and on a broader variety of things than younger people, and Republicans/conservatives more so than Democrats/liberals.
cmon take it to the wank dad thread. let's keep the floor clean in here

Basically the one place that the left seems to take a harder line on free speech restrictions are when it comes to issues of prejudice. Which has always made me suspicious about why so many like Peterson only seem to give a shit about that particular inflection point of anti-prejudice and not the still much larger issue of people advocating restrictions on speech because of their prejudice??
I'll hit this response up in the other thread later(though it seems much of it is sort of talking past most of the points I made so I am not sure how much I'm looking forward to that). Not gonna do this to Stoney.

After Jefferies took down Peterson and his theories within 5 minutes of an interview.
Which of these 'intellectual' snake oil salesmen should he sit down with next?
Because of the past thread - of which I watched like one video - now all my youtube recommendations are 'Watch Prof. Jordan Peterson take down trans-gender professor in five minutes'. Thanks etoilet.

"I voted for Brexit because it was such a great opportunity to shake things up in Westminster"
LOL
O
L
She voted for Brexit because it was an undemocratic institution that had no regard for popular sovereignty. It was a principled stance. In other words you cannot be a true democrat and vote to remain in the EU.
They also talk about the cowardice of the Left on Brexit. There were many people on the Left, particularly the old school Left who were against the EU(Corbyn for example). Even the fucking guardian were against the EU at one point. It's funny, the guardian wrote an editorial outlining its case for 'remain' during the vote, but if you go back a few years they were saying the exact opposite. After the EU fucked over Greece the guardian wrote an editorial about it being time to leave the EU because of the undemocratic way it was behaving.
Personally, I can understand people's fears of the economic ramifications of Brexit, but at the same time, I can perfectly understand voting leave because of the fundamental principles of democracy and popular sovereignty.

She cites multiple times a discontent with her country's government. How does this relate to the EU in any way?
But I guess she's happy to have a tory + DUP coalition now, she sure showed them :rofl
And give me a break about "voting leave because of the fundamental principles of democracy and popular sovereignty".
In a country with a head of state appointed by divine rule. A democratic system based on FPTP where no one actually even votes for the government leader directly, but for their local MP.
And the House of Lords sure is a model of democracy :lol
So how exactly does this follow the "fundamental principles of democracy and popular sovereignty", while an institution composed of (1) democratically elected MEP (2) democratically elected heads of state and (3) a council proposed by 2 and voted in by 1, is completely undemocratic?
You're discussing the technicalities of who proposes laws and how votes them in. This is a far cry from a "this is democratic but this isn't" dichotomy.
As for who answers to whom, this is exactly the same with the HoC. Each individual MP is only answerable to the residents of their own constituency. You have zero power over the remaining 649.
As for the whole EU constitution thing, the Treaty of Lisbon was nothing like it (and mostly an updated rehash of Maastricht + Rome anyway), and it was actually ratified by Ireland after a second referendum that followed significant changes made to it (i.e concessions).
And the Greek folks only have themselves / their government to blame. They dun goofed long before the EU did anything.
he EU's new treaty is the same as the rejected constitution - only the format has been changed to avoid referendums, says Valery Giscard d'Estaing, architect of the constitution.https://euobserver.com/institutional/25052

Yeah I’m all for making people as comfortable as possible. I have absolutely no qualms with regular trans people. I’m not even trying to deny non-binary people their right to a pronoun. It’s purely argumentative for me when I question what it means to be non-binary. I just can’t wrap my head around it and I’ve yet to meet someone who can adequately explain what it means to not be simply man or woman.
I don’t really want to watch the video, but in his debate with Blair White, did he ever refer to her using female pronouns? Because he seems like too much of a coward to stand by his backwards ass standards when it’s someone on his team he has to use them on.
