River Of Slime |OT| Mission: Impossible

[PogiJones]

I was with you until racists latch onto Republicans but that doesn’t make republicans racist.  That’s literally a #notallmen defense.  Many republican candidates openly embrace the racist vote so I’d say it’s pretty fair to criticize them as a whole for it.  If racists didn’t have a party that aligned with their values they just wouldn’t vote.  If racists are flocking to you in droves and that’s not the plan wouldn’t you ask yourself, “What am I doing to earn the support of people I find repugnant and what should I stop doing to prevent that?”

Just saw this.

It depends on the policy. A common example: If an R senator opposes "hand outs" (i.e. social security) because he thinks it's keeping poor people down by keeping them dependent on the gov't (a very popular belief among R's), and racists support the R's policy because they just don't want to give their money to brown people, then no, I think it would be strange for an R senator to suddenly support an opposite policy he thinks harms poor people just to stick it to the racists. I think asking yourself "What am I doing to earn the support of people I find repugnant" is a fair question that should be asked, but making losing their support Priority One--even at the expense of your own beliefs and doing what you believe makes the country worse off--is not reasonable.

I think there are a lot of reasons to believe racism is present in a lot of R's policies. I think it's important to ask what the costs of a policy are, and emboldening racists is one of those costs. When an R like Trump seems to demonstrate time and again through what he says and policies like the Muslim ban that he holds little value for brown people's lives, I thinks it's not only reasonable but essential to call him and his policies out on his racism. But I don't think it's reasonable to say R's are racist because racists also want some of the same policies. You don't craft policy to spite racists. You craft policy to effect change in the way you think will best help people.

It's basically the same thing I said to riotous: If an argument or policy seems to be flirting with racism on its merits, that's the reason to call it out as racist. Not because some racists have also embraced that argument or policy for what could be completely different reasons.

That‘s a low-key great thread. Lots of graduates from WikipediaU trying to be geopolitical experts.
Even village idiots like commedieu make an appearance.

 

But Iran sanctions from Donald Fucking Trump isn't a healing maneuver. Its a dumb-ass petty move because he hates black people.

Sorry if this is a morbid thread, but whenever we come to these epic pop-culture events, I always find myself thinking about the people who wake up on the day of release excited but are killed over the course of the day in accidents etc.

Given that basically everyone on the planet wants to see this movie it's fair to say there are a decent number of people worldwide who won't make the next 15-24 hours before it releases in their country.

Wasn't there even that guy who died while watching Infinity War? Spare a thought for the folks who won't get to see how it ends. Is this a weird way to think?

Truly one of the dumbest threads ever made. Impressive

[VomKriege]

India has announced that they will go along with US sanctions. China will also probably do the same. We are fucked.

Not shocked. These countries will always refuse to stand up to the US

[Straight Edge]

Even worse, the entire population will never get to see a sequel to fury road because it’s never getting made.

True! Although I don't work anymore so time is not really an issue, but that doesn't mean Marvel scamming me into wasting those hours is fair play..

I kinda liked spiderman though (mostly because it's spiderman), so i'll just pretend that me and Marvel are even stevens since i'm not likely to be compensated for lost time either way.

That thread man. Definitely not racists though. No paper bag tests or one-drop rules here.

I’m going to assume Elegant Weapon is the new Enzom and that once again, it’s all just whitey shouting at whitey.

White Latinos and white homosexuals, yeah.

Most of the time I read “I’m a minority”, I assume it’s a white Latino dude. I feel like I’m usually right about that too lol

I'm 100% white, so I can't claim anything (German/Austrian). Family came over to the US a few hundred years ago (took part in the "Indian Wars", Revolutionary War, and Civil War). I even had a great, great, great (not sure about number of "greats") aunt that was held prisoner during the "Indian Wars". Interesting stuff.

Getting OT there though, haha.

My wife has Native American on both sides of her family, but doesn't claim any kind of "minority" status. No one would know with her dyed blond hair, although she does have a slightly darker complexion than someone like myself.

Uh...  Thanks for your input?   

[BisMarckie]

Your tone probably scares people off from identifying their minority status. Not saying they’re right for being shifty, but I imagine when they see someone like yourself obviously categorizing other minorities as less credible they don’t feel safe fully sharing what their experience is.

This is why minorities who don’t matter are leaving in droves.

[BisMarckie]

Also, five bucks to the man or woman who can find someone not of Igbo descent pronouncing "Igbo" correctly.

(It's pronounced "E-bow")

I was gonna guess “iggaboo”

[BisMarckie]

It’s not like I’m ethnic minority checking people due to their innocuous opinions on random shit. I first started seeing it on forums where people would say status quo shit like “I’m a minority and I don’t need diverse characters to feel represented”

I think some people on resetra have a word to describe this kind of person with the goal to self-police their community.

no i don't have that sort of money - if i paid for likes i wouldn't have money for weed 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

If they’re not actually very marginalized and there are dismissing people who are, it’s not really “oppression olympics” as much as a privileged dickhead being dismissive of concerns that don’t really concern them

I can see why you would want cover from that position

"I'm not playing oppression olympics and I'm criticising people being dismissive of concerns outside their experience, but I'm going to declare my minority status as most attacked, and also declare other minorities outside my experience as not very marginalised"

Look at all the fun they're having

thing is, we peeped Slydat's game many pages ago, and it took this long for us to admit the bullshitting was undeniable, even though they were clinging to that ledge like damn Spiderman. that's the thing that gets me, and makes my finger linger over the ignore button. they were disingenously "loving" the time travel ending while making time travel out to being this humongous problem and inventing all sorts of issues for why people who actually liked the ending are wrong.

I don't give a whit about the disagreement, but the dishonesty covered up with "you just have bad reading comprehension i am being totally logical" wrapping paper was just too much.

They peeped his game!!  It wasn't a good look

Syldat was the fairly desexualized guy right?

Oh you see the first person is hoping for a port, which is like begging for one, and the other is recognizing that there is no port which is a state of quiet acceptance

"Portbegging" was always a wack infraction though I understand why it existed back on GAF to deal with some console war bullshit. But unless fanboys are flooding thread with this sort of whines, I never really understood why isolated messages were so severely moderated. Who never thought "ah man it's a rad game, too bad it's not on the hardware I have" ?

In a low-rent, pathological-psych 201 way it kinda makes sense.  He always wanted to be called a n-word and nobody would because he wasn't.

Also, Either DigitalOP is 14 or he is the next Enzom.

I propose we modify the age of consent.

Instead of an arbitrary number (like 16 or 18 or whatever) we relate it mental age.

We can't use IQ tests, because those have serious issues.

So instead I propose we establish mental age in relation to enjoyment of Marvel films.

If you enjoy the MCU, then you're not old enough / mature enough to fuck.


Something like this:


Worships MCU = Mental age of 5 or below
Loves MCU = mental age of 6-10
Likes MCU = mental age of 11-15
Tolerates MCU but spends most of the movie on instagram or whatever = mental age of 16-20
