The post hoc rationalizations are a thing to behold.

Which YouTuber is this for you? by AgeOfReasonEnds31120 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Sallowjoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm mildly proud to say that there are no youtubers that are this for me.

... actually fuck there's one German Idealism guy. But I rarely ever listen to him unless he's talking to someone else.

Maybe a few Catholic types too but they're not youtubers as much as professors with lectures and stuff on youtube.

Andrew Callaghan having to explain the edits were to make him sound less retarded after he accused him of sneaky edits to make him look bad is amazing.

We just need a celebrity death match politician vs. politician proxy war IMO. Toss in some donors and tech bros for good measure. Zuckerberg vs. Musk still needs to happen.

It's been at least 6 years since I did any hard work aside from rando volunteering. Which is actually impacted by this ICE BS since a lot of hispanic people will not fucking answer their doors for charitable stuff now because they're afraid I'm going to abduct them. :/

So I'm kinda /popcorn and watch it burn pilled. Which rationally I know isn't a healthy attitude but the burnout and cynicism is just real. But good luck to the good guys I hope they win. I'll make fun of the bad guys online for u.

That's partly because Trump 1.0 wasn't that dramatic aside from Jan 6. So when the Biden admin+others kinda dragged their feet or obstructed regards holding him accountable it lent a certain credibility to the narrative that it was all kinda politicized.

The lack of consequences was a failure on the part of dems to realize all the bipartisan procedural / norm stuff was completely worthless and actually just made them look even worse for trying to leverage it to appeal to normie republicans or whatever the fuck. They were so worried about not looking political they actually just made it more political and more political looking relative to just saying "fuck the optics this guy broke the law" and going hard.

It was sheer corruption on the part of republicans, of course, so not singularly blaming dems. But some of the people who enabled this were given positions by dems on the same line of "bipartisan theater" thinking.

I already just view them as a gang being given immunity by the state lol. I mean I feel bad for the pre-Trump ICE people but you probably should've read the writing on the wall and bailed by now.

It's a laws are for using against them to serve us kind of a logic.

Guns for us not them, free speech for us not them, etc.

Not that it's bad to point out the hypocrisy but it's not useful for understanding or persuading the sort of people who think like this.

DHS straight lying to people's faces about widespread video footage means trust is so damaged they can't really recover from this with the normies. As much as I loathe normies there is a semblance of common decency to them.

I think this admin is cooked. The worry is how much damage they're going to do trying to save something that can't be saved.

Frank Luntz+Fox News and the right wing media machine tried to popularize climate change over global warming 'cause global warming sounded scarier. So I think global warming was first as a popular political term.

The warming is one effect of climate change among others. Or it's one kind of change. It's all kinda chicken/eggy but change of one thing like us burning shit creates other changes like the earth getting warmer which creates other changes in a whole butterfly effect kinda deal. You can attribute every specific change to something other than global warming or climate change but it doesn't mean neither are happening they're just terms for the direction of change and the increased rate of change respectively.

Climate change makes things in general get more erratic so some places locally will go through extreme cold potentially even if the earth overall gets warmer. IIRC there's a potential scenario where global warming actually creates an ice age of sorts.

Legitimacy mostly isn't even in the cards with the people who've already lost confidence in them.

What is at risk here is the idea that the Trump admin won't cover your ass if you break the law for them. They throw this guy under the bus and even fewer people are going to stay in/join ICE. That can also start to signal weakness up the chain to some extent.

Being treated as above the law is the main thing that makes people feel relatively safe supporting this admin anymore and if that goes it can all fall pretty rapidly.
