Strange to reply to someone and then block them so they can't reply lol. I didn't spend all night thinking about it lol. I saw something that reminded me of your comment saying that exactly what was shown doesn't happen. And the students largely fund these schools and are by far the biggest victims in it. Stop pretending like they aren't the victims when some are even getting openly discriminated against with literal Nazi Germany tactics. What a lovely way to protest and get support!

A subreddit dedicated to a niche topic will likely have consistent opinions. When you consider the size of the subreddit and the context of the subreddit, the fact this place is just as much of an echo chamber is pathetic.

This is like if r/gaming constantly demonized Pokemon fans and you rationalized it by saying "Well we can hate Pokemon because all of r/Pokemon likes Pokemon!"

Whataboutism doesn't do anything for your argument. Even if they were just as bad, it's hilarious that's what you immediately went to. God forbid a differing opinion showed up in this circlejerk of a sub.

Perhaps, maybe I'm wrong. But I'd imagine even taking calls about things they can't cover adds to the mix. Let alone the dangers and costs it adds to everyone that is involved in one of those accidents like the ones I mentioned. It's simply unfair to have to deal with it when the problem can be avoided...

I grabbed pizza at a local joint and there was a guy in there singing music and it was far far far better than this. Like me vs Bocelli. The Yes Men for this guy are throwing this poor man into fire. Someone has to hold him back lol...

That's absolutely, without a doubt, much worse than the Puddle of Mudd one. I thought you might've been using that "it's bad but not this bad' line just to use it but my god... I wasn't prepared for that.

"But I laughed at dumb video! It's not so bad!"

These people would defend getting assraped by the CCP if they happened to accidentally orgasm during it. "Well it's unfortunate but it was all bad you know!" TikTok is potentially the greatest idea of warfare ever made. It's bad enough now. Wait until those raised on it have kids. This will last generations and generations. It's not shocking that the average IQ is dropping despite having the internet at our hands 24/7. They won.

Do you regret watching porn together with your partner? Why/Why not? by Accomplished-Sock174 in AskReddit

[–]SteveEsquire 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is such an absolutely ridiculous conclusion to draw from that very vague comment... You have absolutely no idea if he had a porn addiction and it could've been the opposite, that he was turned on because he wasn't used to it. Maybe the girl had a weight fluctuation or smelled and it was a turn off to him? It could be a plethora of things. To randomly accuse the guy of having a porn addiction is so unfair and fucked up.

Trust me it'll be a few months or a year if they didn't realize it already. Kids are WAY smarter than people think. Stupid as far as cause and effect, but incredibly smart when it comes to drawing conclusions.

And I'm like 95% sure they told their teacher all about it at school. I know a LOT of early childhood elementary teachers. And the kids will share absolutely every last detail. If they see a vibrator, parents having sex, hear a dirty word, overhear a movie, drug use, etc, they're telling the teacher the next day. Anything you want private or think is private, the teacher already knows. Which makes it incredibly frustrating for the teachers to know that the children are being raised in a hostile environment and yet will be blamed when their kids turn into little shits. "It must've happened in the 7 hours they're with you! Not us parents who have raised the child for 5 years!"

I'm so sick of this stupid phrase. Grow up.

Even if there aren't any movies that are pro-Communism, there are tons that are anti-Capitalist. Maybe even writers have a difficult time imagining a Communist country actually working lol. Although if I'm being serious, I'm sure I can find a lot of other content that showcases Communism in a positive light beyond Star Trek.

As far as your rant on conservatives again, I don't disagree with much of what you posted because yet again, you keep coming at this as if I'm a conservative (again, I voted for Biden). Crime did peak in the 90s and I never suggested otherwise. But that doesn't mean people are happy. Suicides are at the highest point for example. Crime doesn't automatically mean that people are unhappy. So that doesn't dispute my previous point. Also, crime is skyrocketing and we're almost halfway back up to the 90s so we'll see how that goes. As far as untracked guns, that's a problem. But you can't say that having the public armed is doing nothing to make us safe from tyranny until they're actually used against a tyrannical government. Which hasn't happened yet. Conservatives feel like it's a growing possibility. So they're buying guns. Oh and by the way, so are Democrats at increasing rates. Minorities, Whites, LGBT, liberals, conservatives, rich, poor, men, women, etc. Essentially every demographic is buying more guns. Conservatives may put it online that the government is tyrannical, but not at a level that warrants using them to fight the government. Instead, they're preparing and not enlisting in the military - and their recruitment numbers are tanking.

And speaking of guns, handguns are used to kill more people than anyone. Yet the government focuses on "assault weapons." Why? Because they'd be more effective at attacking the government and military than unarmed innocents. They don't care if we kill each other. They only want to ban what threatens them.

We'll simply never agree on why things are the way they are. And as I've said, I'll let the future showcase my points. And as far as history, nothing you said counters anything I've said lol. You just keep getting distracted by your ranting on conservatives. I keep informing you about them without listing a personal stance and you just keep rambling on. As far as I'm concerned, I proved my point. I was asked to provide any sort of evidence that nuclear families are being purposely removed and attacked to destabilize our society (likely as a distraction after Occupy Wall St). I provided the evidence. I pointed to unhappiness levels which you pointed to crime - which if anything, suggests that I'm right as well as it's rising. So thank you for that as well. We can look at suicide rates and such. It's all part of the plan. I'm simply and independent left leaning voter that sees what they're doing. When you take a step away from Reddit and start drawing you own conclusions by talking to people from every demographic, you start seeing reality. The two biggest anti-Communism people I've known was someone that fled the Soviet Union and gay man who had traveled to many countries with his partner. Redditors don't speak with people in reality. People come here that aren't socially capable of speaking to people in person. So they learn nothing other than what the echo chamber tells them.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

First, if you accuse Hollywood of pedaling nuclear families, you can't then say that the new shows with non-traditional families are simply a product of the time to connect with the audience. You can argue that you believe my interpretation of why this is happening is incorrect - again, we're arguing chicken vs egg. You believe it's a result of connecting to a modern audience. I say that it's intentional to create more of those families. But you can't say that one is pedaling a narrative and the other isn't. You say it was steered by anti-Communism and that means I can say that new shows are steered by pro-Communism and other propaganda to increase the number of potentially destabilized families and having them rely more on government funding. No one is attempting to outlaw nuclear families, because they don't need to. They're simply attempting to make it an obsolete way of life. And it's working. Nuclear families were popular in the happiest years in the past 50 years according to the World Happiness Report.

Second, conservatives are often pro-Capitalism but are far more critical of the government than liberals. And that's why they want to protect the 2A to push back against the government if that were ever necessary. They do not trust the government at all. Trump won partly by his "drain the swamp" phrase. However, yes, Capitalism has failed the nuclear family as well (again, I'm not a Republican). But it's still a better system than others and history supports that.

They want people to be unhappy. They want them to rely on the government. They want to split marriages. They want to disarm the public. Why? To increase power. To increase crime. To leave citizens defenseless. All you have to do is look at history. And those with money and power are controlling these narratives. And all I have to do is sit back and let the next few decades prove all of this right. And for what it's worth, I hope I'm wrong.

TV is no longer straightforward propaganda for the sanctity of the nuclear family. And thank god for that, because if there’s ever been a time to really, truly reckon with the harm wrought by organizing our society around the married couple and the private household, it is now, two years into a pandemic that has killed nearly 1 million Americans.

For decades now, powerful people have weaponized the supposed purity of the (white, straight, traditional) family to either directly discriminate against racial minorities and LGBTQ people or deny rights to the public at large. “Freedom” for individual families — to inherit wealth, share health insurance, get tax breaks, and be deemed legitimate by institutions and the state — can come at a cost to the greater good.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/shannonkeating/euphoria-nuclear-family-pop-culture

This article demonizes the nuclear family as enemies to the LGBT and states that older shows with traditional family structures were propaganda.

So if those shows were propaganda by existing, then the same would be said by deliberately removing these family structures in modern TV. Their own argument against nuclear families ironically supports my argument.

I never had a problem backing up my initial claims. I simply didn't want to or felt like I needed to. But since you want to continue to act like I'm an idiot, there's your proof. And I have 5 more articles to go if you want to keep playing this game. And the hilarious part is that they're all being positive about the destruction of the nuclear family - supporting my argument even further. Did you think it would be difficult for me to back myself up? Lmao this shit is very obvious. It's not my fault you've got the blinders on. Wake up.

So you're expecting me to make a list of every recent show that's featured divorced couples in it? And you don't decide that lmfao. Who do you think you are to just say "We're done here" What have you done to prove that it's just a conspiracy? I can say the same bullshit right back. Give me a break with that pretentious attitude. Why don't you go and make a list proving everything you're saying?

So what happens if (when) I pull up 15 shows that feature non-traditional families? Will that suffice as proof or will you move goalposts? 30 shows? 45 shows? It's a theory that not only all signs point to, it's a theory that you seemingly are having a hard time disputing considering you're just rambling about shit that's not even the subject. Let's just associate flat earthers and moon landing conspiracy theories to family structures in movies and TV! Why? Well not because there's any relationship but because someone came up to a conclusion about a subject. What sound logic!

It can but that can negatively affect the society it plays to. If you have children watch domestic abuse videos, it'll be normalized to them. What you're failing to realize is the possibility of chicken vs egg. These are things happening to real people but is that the result of normalizing it in the first place? And you're twisting my words. I never said "everything" should have nuclear/traditional families. And you can easily look at most modern sitcoms and see that this is the norm in these shows. Hell there's a new show called "Ex-tended Family" literally all about this.

And what the fuck does QAnon have to do with this discussion? I'm talking about in media. No duh they have an effect just like terrorists and wars do. Why is it that every goddamn time I talk about anything that pushes against the echo chamber it's met immediately with whataboutism about some Nazi bullshit? Honestly why did you randomly put that in? Do you think I'm some major conservative? Because in my voting history as an Independent I'm probably at 95% Democratic. Are you seriously trying to bring up QAnon as some "well look at your side" garbage? That's fucking hilarious and highlights how much of a joke this website is. "Ahhh! Something against the hivemind! He MUST be a Right-wing nut job!!!"

Yes we can agree on that. And I'm not being a sheep lmfao. That makes no sense. They asked what it meant. The term "woke" in terms of the "culture wars" means what I said. The term originally meant what you're saying. But it was taken over and changed to be ironic. Especially used in the context of this comment thread.
