People here trying to be way too pragmatic about things that are very clearly anti-progress and go against our own way of life.

Being a Republican is not acceptable and should not be treated as normal or at all compatible with basic human decency.

The vast majority of wealthy Democrats are secretly republican anyway so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

I mean the majority of Democrats and all Republicans are pro-business in the extreme.

Musk is like the annoying kid in school who was a teachers pet and always put his hand up to answer even though he often got the answers wrong.

ERA is like the creepy kid in school with a notepad full of drawings of pikachu stabbing himself in the dick

This line of thinking brought us Trump. There are people on the other side of the aisle saying the exact same thing. You fan extremists views and you get fringe candidates. Compromise brings more moderate lines of thinking, which is what we are sorely lacking these days.

Come on America. Why cant you finally get rid of this orange piece of shit?
Because the constitution doesn’t give us a tool to use no-confidence against a chief executive, and no party leader is going to risk impeachment ahead of the conclusion of an investigation of this magnitude.

A lot of us want him gone. A lot of voters and a lot of Democrats. But removing a chief executive doesn’t happen with the snap of a finger, regrettably. That isn’t exclusive to America. Removing a German chancellor through no confidence is legally and politically difficult by design, for example.

Actually, I'd hope [Hillary] will run again, cause who else do democrats really have?

That's true, but you can bet your ass this would go a whole lot faster in Germany for example*, it's reeeeeeally hard from the outside (and I guess from within also) to understand what the fuck is taking so long.


I still remember after the election a lot Americans, democrats obviously, were convinced "1-2 months tops before he gets impeached lol"


*and know why? Because we don't have a 2 party system where one party can block the whole thing indefinitely (so basically partly down to "lucky circumstances" I suppose)

'I was a World Cup honey shot'

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10399268/

Quote
Pretty interesting article about the 'honey shot'/creepshot considering it was discussed in here before. Hoping this becomes a thing of the past.

Did he even read the article? She made a killing of the shot and was glad it happened.

Quote
"It was a fun moment, but I thought that was it - a few seconds of fame and a nice Twitter interaction with a pop star I admire."

Quote
Within months, she was on the front cover of men's magazines.

"I took part in the Colombian edition of the reality TV show Dancing with the Stars," says Natalia.

"That was a game changer; afterwards I became more comfortable and relaxed being in the media."

She's since worked with a number of Colombian brands and now models for an international hair care company.

Quote
"I did not know what a honey shot was," Natalia says.

"I don't think it's offensive or objectifying. I think in a way it's good that it shows that football is a sport for both women and men."

Natalia's honey shot story doesn't end there.

She travelled to Russia a few weeks ago, for her second World Cup tournament.

"I got zoomed in on during the Colombia vs England match, which I think was hilarious," she says.


She got a few mean tweets so lets abolish it. Nice selected copying from the article.  :dizzy

Quote from: Herbert Marcuse
The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word, print, and picture. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is in extreme danger. I maintain that our society is in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs. Different opinions and 'philosophies' can no longer compete peacefully for adherence and persuasion on rational grounds: the 'marketplace of ideas' is organized and delimited by those who determine the national and the individual interest. In this society, for which the ideologists have proclaimed the 'end of ideology', the false consciousness has become the general consciousness--from the government down to its last objects. The small and powerless minorities which struggle against the false consciousness and its beneficiaries must be helped: their continued existence is more important than the preservation of abused rights and liberties which grant constitutional powers to those who oppress these minorities. It should be evident by now that the exercise of civil rights by those who don't have them presupposes the withdrawal of civil rights from those who prevent their exercise, and that liberation of the Damned of the Earth presupposes suppression not only of their old but also of their new masters.

     Withdrawal of tolerance from regressive movements before they can become active; intolerance even toward thought, opinion, and word, and finally, intolerance in the opposite direction, that is, toward the self-styled conservatives, to the political Right--these anti-democratic notions respond to the actual development of the democratic society which has destroyed the basis for universal tolerance. The conditions under which tolerance can again become a liberating and humanizing force have still to be created. When tolerance mainly serves the protection and preservation of a repressive society, when it serves to neutralize opposition and to render men immune against other and better forms of life, then tolerance has been perverted. And when this perversion starts in the mind of the individual, in his consciousness, his needs, when heteronomous interests occupy him before he can experience his servitude, then the efforts to counteract his dehumanization must begin at the place of entrance, there where the false consciousness takes form (or rather: is systematically formed)--it must begin with stopping the words and images which feed this consciousness. To be sure, this is censorship, even precensorship, but openly directed against the more or less hidden censorship that permeates the free media. Where the false consciousness has become prevalent in national and popular behavior, it translates itself almost immediately into practice: the safe distance between ideology and reality, repressive thought and repressive action, between the word of destruction and the deed of destruction is dangerously shortened. Thus, the break through the false consciousness may provide the Archimedean point for a larger emancipation--at an infinitesimally small spot, to be sure, but it is on the enlargement of such small spots that the chance of change depends.

     The forces of emancipation cannot be identified with any social class which, by virtue of its material condition, is free from false consciousness. Today, they are hopelessly dispersed throughout the society, and the fighting minorities and isolated groups are often in opposition to their own leadership. In the society at large, the mental space for denial and reflection must first be recreated. Repulsed by the concreteness of the administered society, the effort of emancipation becomes 'abstract'; it is reduced to facilitating the recognition of what is going on, to freeing language from the tyranny of the Orwellian syntax and logic, to developing the concepts that comprehend reality. More than ever, the proposition holds true that progress in freedom demands progress in the consciousness of freedom. Where the mind has been made into a subject-object of politics and policies, intellectual autonomy, the realm of 'pure' thought has become a matter of political education (or rather: counter-education).

     Especially accounts in junior status.

Thus, the break through the false consciousness may provide the Archimedean point for a larger emancipation--at an infinitesimally small spot, to be sure, but it is on the enlargement of such small spots that the chance of change depends.

     The forces of emancipation cannot be identified with any social class which, by virtue of its material condition, is free from false consciousness. Today, they are hopelessly dispersed throughout the society, and the fighting minorities and isolated groups are often in opposition to their own leadership. In the society at large, the mental space for denial and reflection must first be recreated. Repulsed by the concreteness of the administered society, the effort of emancipation becomes 'abstract'; it is reduced to facilitating the recognition of what is going on, to freeing language from the tyranny of the Orwellian syntax and logic, to developing the concepts that comprehend reality. More than ever, the proposition holds true that progress in freedom demands progress in the consciousness of freedom. Where the mind has been made into a subject-object of politics and policies, intellectual autonomy, the realm of 'pure' thought has become a matter of political education (or rather: counter-education).

     Especially accounts in junior status.

We are at the point where Kotaku in Action seems more calm and reasonable than Ree. There is more hate oozing out of ERA than ever. Almost like it’s a group of people full of hate. A hate group if you will.

resetera started with crazy, banned the more "normal" crazy and is now left with full on keep them from society crazy.

Picture an 80s movie montage.  Good montage music -- maybe heavy sax?  Montage scenes fade in showcasing individual Bore Members at their computers reading ERA.  Each one more confused and distraught reading post after post. Some in tears.  Some in a rictus of terror.   Fade in, Fade out.  Finally, scene gets to Benji, who's wearing a wide grin holding in bouts of maniacal laughter.  Fingers busy in rapid fire quote posting.  Observant movie goers can see Wikipedia tabs open of old German philosophers.  drinks from his glass of wine.

Benji doesn't need Wikipedia to quote Hegel, he just knows :bolo

Re: Musk. Grimes makes really shitty music, so she does fit in fine with other right-wing artists that Republicans enjoy like Toby Keith and Christian rock. Fuck, I’d rather listen to Newsboys than Grimes.
surely you don't mean this.

I just listened to 30 seconds of some of their highest ranked songs and, no joke, their music undeniably takes far, far more talent to do what Grimes does. Her music is requires little skill and I imagine she pays people to do most of the work because she comes off as dumb as a pile of shit bricks.

Apparently she went to McGill so she can't be a total dumbass.  In fact, she's probably really smart.

Not necessarily. Dating someone as shitty as Musk shows she’s willing to fuck her way to success.

Where's the thread for Musk being one of the top donors to the ACLU? Guess it wouldn't garner as much attention as this one.
70 posts since October wowsers. You sure like to pop in and outta woodwork

Why is it suddenly a bad thing to not be a loser
