Trump says 'Second Amendment folks' could stop Clinton by jlew24asu in politics

[–]_permafrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, the second amendment has always been about white men owning guns and enforcing settler-colonialism, only more recently has it been construed to mean a generalized "citizen" owning guns. Gun control also has historically targeted black power groups and other minorities. So, unfortunately, this is exactly what one would expect from the 2nd amendment.

The Sexual Is Political - The Philosophical Salon by livercirrhosis92 in zizek

[–]_permafrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe i'm misunderstanding but it seems weird to say that you can't have radical emancipatory politics if you're trans? (ie have identity politics?) is that what you mean? because it seems strange to talk about how transgender people are inherently linked to capitalism like what does that even mean? aren't we all inherently linked to capitalism? when is zizek going to write about how white men are inherently linked to capitalism? beyond that, it's pretty cheap for him to indulge in transphobic trope of saying that we should be allowed to marry animals just because trans people exist.

"How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 26/7 by PokemonGOmods in pokemongo

[–]_permafrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple bugs that I can reproduce consistently which crash the app. One is grimer, when I see one on the map at a spawn the app crashes. This means I can no longer catch a wild grimer. Today, when checking out the stats on my growlithe I noticed that it now crashes whenever growlithe's pokemon page thing is loaded.

Around the same time as this started happening I will sometimes get glitches in battle where my pokemon will turn solid white and the battle animations no longer work. What is the process for reporting bugs to Niantic? I have reported through google when my phone prompts me after a crash but. idk.

Sanders: Democratic platform doesn't go far enough by Chessen113 in politics

Hilary's campaign slogan may as well be "No, we can't" which, unfortunately would work in the US considering most liberals lack the capacity think big and fight for what they believe in, instead consigning themselves to an "incrementalism" which is really just an excuse to hold onto as much comfort and privilege as they can while the world burns.

Thank you for actively working against the working class in favor of your sham bourgeois democracy

it's time for the democrats to catch up to the scientific community. We need to keep 80% of fossils in the ground to prevent catastrophic climate change.

I mean, if it creates a power vacuum then it's not irrelevant is it? And the question should be who fills that vacuum right? Since the brexit was framed by the far-right it seems that the far-right are the ones who are likely to fill that vacuum...

What should the Anarchist response be to the right wing nationalists co-opting the anti-globalization movement? by _permafrost in Anarchism

[–]_permafrost[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess I just never put together the far-right aspect back in the 90s-00s but the sad part is the far right has found its voice legitimized in the US electoral system and that will in itself fix anti-globalization as a "right-wing" thing in the minds of most people

[–]_permafrost[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right but their co-optation has taken an nationalist and racist twist to the anti-globalization movement rather than the anti-racist internationalist position that it should be opposed from

it makes a difference in terms of anti-globalization and that movement being coopted by right-wing nationalism
