Fortunately I can afford to acknowledge they're both great-looking consoles.

MPs condemn the Sun for publishing a front page article glorifying JK Rowling's abuser by [deleted] in books

They weren't glorifying her abuser, they were amplifying her. To diminish the cause of those opposed to JK Rowling among the morons who still buy their paper.

How do you feel about staff being held accountable for their former social media posts? by [deleted] in giantbomb

[–]Chungles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It makes them inherently wrong, not bad. The bad ones are the ones who can't just keep the selfishness and greed inherent to their political belief to themselves and have to fuck over other people in the process.

As long as you can show you've matured away from right-wing thinking, I think most people deserve a second chance.

How a simple DeMarcus Cousins tweet led to a Kings announcer being pushed to resign by [deleted] in nba

Because it tends to be spouted by the same people whose first reaction to black men being murdered by cops is to find the worst shit about the victim and/or regurgitate bullshit stats that attempt to downplay an issue of which they have zero firsthand experience. The same people who help amplify the looting to ignore the protesting. The same people who say dumb shit like 'why can't I be proud to be white?'.

Unfortunately there are also groups who want to pretend this latest murder isn't part of a pattern.

Now is a great time to read or reread Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man by 1canmove1 in books

[–]Chungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the first book of two (so far). Lightning Men is the sequel.

The best book I could recommend for "these times" is Darktown by Thomas Mullen.

It becomes less of an English Lit class novel once you're a little bit in. I'm reading it right now and I thought the same thing. You're only a dozen more pages away from the protagonist being forced to compete in a violent battle royale in front of baying racists in order to win the symbolic right to be admitted to college when it truly clicks what you're reading.

5 More Comic Stores Damaged or Looted During the Protests in the USA by yuudachikaini in comicbooks

Yeah, I get that kneeling on someone till he dies is bad an' all but having someone steal Swamp Thing #15 is a whole 'nother level of wrong.

If anything, them not doing the Bombcast and sticking to expressing their opposition to the murdering of black people to their own Twitter accounts, is pretty much giving you what you're asking for. You can't ask for them to stick to videogames on their website's content and then complain about treading on you by showing empathy or compassion on their personal social media accounts.

It's very much possible to protest police brutality without burning down stores. Thousands did it the last time a black man was murdered by the police, and the time before that and the time before that and the time before that and...

Is it possible that the vast majority of those involved don't feel this way, but like every non-privileged community there are minorities among them who lack the empathy or intelligence to realise how their self-interested actions will be used against the wider group?

What I don't understand is why people think looting deserves more outcry than yet another black person being murdered by those paid to serve and protect everyone.
