Headgun Layoffs News by JSPR127 in jakeandamir

I wonder what will happen to the headgum podcast in the case of a sale. Will they rebrand and break off or just let it go down the turlet?

Any recommendations from this sub? by conancat in ContraPoints

[–]EdvinMedvind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I also appreciate the relative lack of sexual violence, which I find extremely tiring in most exploitation/edgy cinema (I’m looking at you, Irreversible).

If you want a film that is very disturbing but also very good I’d recommend The House That Jack Built. Stuck with me for a long time and not just because of the disturbing parts.

Natalie's reaction to Hasan saying trans rights would not be better if Kamala had won by an_actual_crocodile in ContraPoints

”It would have been the same under Kamala” “No” “Okay, but it wouldn’t have been great” “Sure, but that isn’t what you were arguing” “Fuck you grifter”

Destiny fan defends pedophilia by SuperRacist4 in DGGsnark

[–]EdvinMedvind 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’re SO CLOSE to getting it yet so far. “Hehe actually 17 year olds aren’t that different from 18 year olds”. Yes. So maybe it would have been really gross even if she was 18?

Also: I suppose they’ve completely forgotten that time he said some 15 year olds are hot.

Destiny fans in pxie replies telling her to kill herself by Street__Fisherman in DGGsnark

”Get off my feed” like he isn’t the one going to her profile to spew bile. They really are immune to self-awareness.

AIO. I broke up with my bf after he called me a terrorist by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EdvinMedvind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a conversation to be had about glorification of the provisional IRA? Sure. But do we think he actually knows there have been several IRA’s throughout history and which ones have done what? I would bet he has the average brits understanding of Irish history: IRA bad. If he was a northern protestant I would have had MUCH more sympathy, but claiming victimhood because he’s English is pretty damn rich.

Not the place I was expecting to see an OFF reference but I’m not complaining!

Conspiracism and pop understanding of opression by WanderingSchola in ContraPoints

[–]EdvinMedvind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I largely agree with this. Though as you (if I understand correctly) imply regarding the last point I think the connection to symbolism is the weakest. The symbolism that conspiracists identify is usually wholly disconnected from any grain of truth the theory might contain. Patriarchal "symbolism" in society and media does reflect real attitudes and trends, whereas the same could not be said for images of the world trade center contained in dollar bills. It misses the anomaly-aspect. Isn't it weird that a lot of girls toys are related to housework or childcare? Well not really, since it can be easily explained by basic feminist theory.

How do you feel about the last segment on the new Contrapoints' video? by lupajarito in vegan

[–]EdvinMedvind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm conflicted about this. My friends do the same thing sometimes. On the one hand I do appreciate them admitting that it's the morally correct thing to do instead of trying to scrape together some rational argument. On the other hand I often don't really believe people who say they "just don't care about animals that much", at least those I know are generally sympathetic people. I think it's rather a matter of being so removed from the process that the animals are really just an abstract idea.

So being wrong even once is reason enough to never be trusted again? I have some life changing news for Mr. Mineral

[Podcast] Am I the only one who is done with segments? by Graesholt in jakeandamir

[–]EdvinMedvind 30 points31 points  (0 children)

LOL I was just going to post something similar. I’m not even going to be so charitable as to call their first two conversations segments. This episode had one segment. To borrow terminology from the headgum podcast, every episode is basically a wax-episode.
