I think you are saying this while not considering that, in this case, the players also have the power to silence or strong arm others. And they fought for that power.

Then they would be doing the wrong thing. Again, silencing is an action, not a belief. It's not about whose side they're on, it's about actions.

Following your example:The action cause that most users at RE tried to never be against Nephente or, worse, they start to believe her BS and propagate it. And while I would also not have problem of stupid people influencing stupid people, my problem is when they cannot be confronted and get to pretend moral superiority.

The very point of my position is to allow confrontation. If you can say what's in your head without having your life ruined, that allows people to confront your ideas, because you've verbalized them. Punishment is what kills that opportunity. And again, I don't mean "the opportunity needs to be there because surely he'll be convinced." I mean that the opportunity needs to be there even if he is never convinced. It's a door you need to leave open, even if some people don't ever walk through.

I am still confused about era’s collective outrage on Dave Chappelle

Dave makes sarcastic jokes about people , era thinks he is being serious

This is proven when they compare Dave with Kanye West .

Everyone knows Kanye West talked about Jews in a really matter of fact serious way

Dave Chappelle used that situation to make sarcastic humor and joked

They believe Dave Chappelle is not joking that his comedy is serious . Are they purposefully being obtuse? How dumb can you get

Let’s simplify for them

Ye: serious nut statement
Dave: comedic statement
Era : david made a serious antisemitic statement

When are they going to ban the United States government as a source? Literally the largest agent for capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy to ever exist. An entity that once defended slavery. An entity that stole land from indigenous landlords bodies. An entity currently ignoring an ongoing genocide within its borders and tacitly if not outright supporting the continuation of it. An entity with a corrupt judicial branch that refuses to allow accountability for speech. An entity that was for four years recently and may again for four years in the future be ran by Donald J. Trump.

But here is the ugly secret: they will take advantage of people not silencing them by principle while silencing others.

Yeah, by principle, I agree with you (and Benji at extension), but the whole point I’m trying to make is that there is a real problem of this getting abused by silencing others, as Benji has complained in the past (but I would say every side is as guilty as this as the other), and is not as easy when you get an asshole with power that will not change his mind regardless. You don’t need even athletes or celebrities as examples, there is people like Trump there.

No, I’m not saying that they should cancel him, deplatforming or anything like that, but pretending is not a problem or people should ignore it also ignores this guys fought for this and willing to used it.

Yeah, I don’t have problem with Kyrie Irving bringing attention to Brittney Gringer while promoting a film that says that Jews are salving black people. But not going to pretend he is going to change his mind having a mindful dialogue when he is willing to lose money to not get vaccinated while not playing for his team.

And not, I don’t have a solution. My whole point is that I don’t think you can talk out Kyrie Irving and Benji got offended.

Era only cares about Jews in the sense that they kind of hate them.  This is more a thing of Dave not bowing to the pressures of the alphabet groomers and their hysterics about transpocalyptic genocides sweeping through society if their every crazy whim is not catered to and accommodated.  If Kanye started talking about cheeseburgers trying to co-opt the black struggle, you’d definitely see him in the same box as Dave.

Bizarre that Jon remains uncritical of Chapelle given his most recent viral clip being him telling off a politician about transphobia. Does he just ignore that stuff when his bestie Dave spouts it?

He went at that politician for advocating the denial of necessary healthcare to trans teens. Chapelle hasn’t advocated for that.

Edit: not that I know of at least.

Jon is smart enough to know that rhetoric like Dave's is how politicians like that get into office in the first place.

Nah. Reactionary ideologies take hold for way more far-reaching deep-rooted reasons than the shitty jokes comedians make. South Park didn’t create the alt-right either.

Obviously, but legitimising this stuff and making bigots feel comfortable internalising and/or voicing the thoughts they had previously kept to themselves is overall a very bad thing. Figures like Chapelle become 'heroes' to those who had previously been 'too scared' to voice their transphobia.

He may not have planted the seed but he sure as shit is helping things grow.

Jesus, fuck that lady treating her child like that because a dish wasn’t to her taste (seemingly in front of other family members, too). The comments laughing it up on this video are gross.

As for the actual question the thread poses, I think you should be considerate of people’s tastes and try to make something good, but I don’t think you need to obey any particular recipe to a t. Serving something that’s insanely out there is probably a bad idea, but treating someone like garbage because they cooked something a bit off is gross behaviour. They weren’t a no-show! They didn’t abandon their dish! They tried, and put in effort (probably at their own expense) for their family, and got it wrong.

I wish multiple "relevant" nations agreed to pull out of the tournament together so that it couldn't continue, or had no value by itself. The hosting nation has been changed before (1986 I think), so it could happen again. And nations have withdrawn from the World Cup before (Argentina), so there shouldn't be any major punishment preventing them from doing so, I believe

Honestly, it isn't going to change at this point. Not 4 days before the World Cup begins. Not after everyone has paid their money and bought their tickets and rooms. Not after they literally changed the time of year the tournament is held to accommodate the host country. Not after FIFA literally sidestepped the labor issues that we've known about since construction began like 8 years ago. Not after everyone already knew about their treatment of LGBTQ+ people the entire time. I mean, shit, the fact that Qatar was chosen is more or less what led to the giant sting on the old FIFA leadership, that shit was corrupt as hell and they never should have been entertained in the first place.

All this stuff is stuff that has been known about Qatar and visiting and living there. It sucks but there is zero way the venue changes at this point. It's not happening and we'd be better off not acting like it still can, unless a crazy-ass natural disaster hits the area in the next few days (I hope a natural disaster doesn't for the sake of those who live there btw) it's going to happen there.

As far as the Argentina thing goes, that was because there was a military coup the year before. Also, it should be noted that all the nations showed up and nobody actually withdrew from the tournament. Cruyff didn't go, but that was because he had been a victim of a home invasion and attempted kidnapping the month before. Like, if the nations of the world didn't boycott a military coup they'll put up with this.

Like, I get it, the whole thing sucks. I've been yelling about this both online and off for years. But the fact is, despite all of the many many many issues, this is going to happen. The time to change all of this was after the sting on the FIFA top brass and the corruption convictions surrounding this whole thing, but they just kept marching on regardless.

And remember, this isn't the first nation where we've seen issues like this when it comes to major international sporting events. Remember the Russian Summer Olympics? Similar issues with corruptions, literally had bands of dudes roaming around murdering gay men, and similar issues with the press. We've been on this ride before and know how it turned out already. And we've had China host the Olympics before this as well and, well, look at how they treated their Uyghur and Tibetan populations.

It really sucks, but my hope is that this at least opens people's eyes to the shit that goes on and hopefully leads to some change. That said, based on history, I doubt it.

The next World Cup will be partly hosted in the United States, Fifa has no ethical principles.

One good outcome is that it's lead to Qatar making work reforms for the workers that live there. Maybe the lead up to the games hosted in the US will see similar international objection, pressuring the US to sort out human rights violations of torture, bombing of civilians, letting off war criminals, military support for Saudi Arabia and Israel for genocide against Yeminis and Palestinians, etc. I have a lot of faith in the international community doing the right thing, so I'm sure it will.

And we're a group of substance and consistent ethical principles so I'm sure the threads will be as (if not more) vocal about how terrible Fifa is for allowing games to be hosted the US - without sweeping changes in policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic#Personal_life

He is a Christian, and a married couple from the church he attends can be seen in the background on the cover of his album Poodle Hat.[71][72] His religious upbringing is reflected in his abstinence from profanity, alcohol, and drugs.[73]

https://churchofchristcelebrities.wordpress.com/2017/08/21/3-weird-al-yankovic-1959/

The real clincher, however, comes courtesy of some social media sleuthing. There is a 2016 post on the Facebook page for the Hollywood Church of Christ which reads in part, “HCC is going on a field trip to see our brother Al at the Hollywood Bowl!” (4) Although this post might seem entirely unremarkable on first glance, the language of “brother” and “sister” carries great weight within Churches of Christ, and it implies that the person being referred to as such is, indeed, a member.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churches_of_Christ#Contemporary_social_and_political_views

The churches of Christ maintain a significant proportion of political diversity.[100] According to the Pew Research Center in 2016, 50% of adherents of the churches of Christ identify as Republican or lean Republican, 39% identify as Democratic or lean Democratic and 11% have no preference.[101] Despite this, the Christian Chronicle says that the vast majority of adherents maintain a conservative view on modern social issues. This is evident when the Research Center questioned adherents' political ideology. In the survey, 51% identified as "conservative", 29% identified as "moderate" and just 12% identified as "liberal", with 8% not knowing.[102] In contemporary society, the vast majority of adherents of the churches of Christ view homosexuality as a sin.[103] They cite Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26–27 for their position. Most don't view same-sex attraction as a sin; however, they condemn "acting on same-sex desires".[104] Mainstream and conservative Churches of Christ bar membership for openly LGBT individuals and do not bless or recognize any form of sexual same-sex relationships. Churches oppose same-sex relationships, transitioning to align gender identity, and all forms of what they describe as "sexual deviation", however, they say they don't view it as any worse than fornication or other sins.[105]

Not enjoying the film is one thing. It's hard for me to take "garbage-tier movie" seriously.

There's a reason why the film was critically acclaimed.

Thankfully the user reviews show what a mockery that is.

You mean the user reviews that we know for a fact to have been review bombed from alt-right trolls?

That's almost as hard to take seriously as calling the film "garbage-tier."

Seriously, imagine making the argument that "bad user reviews means the product is bad" after how often we see that abused by trolls (examples: Captain Marvel, The Last Jedi, most recently She-Hulk).

Some franchises with a high number of Advocates include Marvel, "Rick and Morty," "Harry Potter," DC, "Star Wars," and "Stranger Things."

Yeah, yeah.

It's not reflected at the box office so I'm sure Marvel will be just fine.

Losing Twitter is going to be devastating for a lot of artists and other creators and many more communities as well as just general news and discourse. I empathize with anyone who will have to restart their entire following from nothing.

Such bullshit.

Most people at RE were saying that Twitter was a hell without exit or end, but suddenly everyone is saying “Elon Musk is killing communities”.

still think twitter is teetering between actually being in trouble, and probably fine with lots of people wishing with every fiber of their being that it dies and trying to make it come true by saying so

Nah, it truly sounds like the company is shitting the bed. The company was already a shit show before Elon took over.

I’m not too sure about that. Twitter has allowed for a lot of progressive movements to take shape & marginalized groups to connect. That can’t really be replicated with more isolated platforms like Mastodon.

While this is true to an extent, how many marginalized groups were effective and no grifters.

Bonus: How many of activists groups were alt righters?

yes, but where are you hearing that the company is shitting the bed? is it angry/smug people tweeting?

do we honestly have even the slightest perspective on how much of the infrastructure can just keep chugging along without needing constant attention?
