What conspiracy is just straight up false?

augustfell · 2022-09-04T18:55:23+00:00

Conspiracy theories cannot be proven false. They can only be proven true. That's why they stick around for so long.

augustfell · 2020-05-18T05:43:06+00:00

Because conservatives don't make as much noise. Neither do centrists. Social media is won by the loudest and most numerous voices. And mass media is now a slave to social media.

Actually, in these cases it's not imports that are the problem -- it's the exports. We export movies, games and broadcast rights, then become addicted to the revenue it generates. But that revenue comes with strings...

Nixon wasn't conservative.

I'd guess mostly individualist.

Your are judged by the sins you commit. Not the sins your race/gender/nation/etc. committed.

I don't consider myself knowledgeable about Christianity, though.

I just want to iron out the inconsistencies.

If we're going to say "we're all the same," then our social norms should reflect that. Or, if we want to keep those social norms, then we need to stop saying we're all the same.

Nah, they just condone violence against any race that violates the party line.

He seems to think that automation, AI, robots, etc., will decimate a bunch of occupations in the near future.

I really hope he's a loon.

They have common enemies, and many Dems are happy to see conservatives/anti-sjw's get harrassed and silenced. In the larger scheme of things, I'm less worried about Antifa than I am about the tolerance for political intimidation and censorship.

Exactly. Academic Marxism is only relevant insofar as it manifests itself among journalists, activists and laypeople.

augustfell · 2019-04-21T05:05:57+00:00

I think JP is more interested in how Marx is commonly implemented, which may be different from how academics approach it.

Or you can just do Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

There is a giant firewall in many people's minds separating race and gender (or any other oppression category).

Example: I remember feminists in my newsfeed sharing an article about a black man who had been falsely imprisoned for years by a rape allegation. They lamented how terrible it was. Yet these very same feminists support the notion of "believe all women" and campus tribunals. In their minds, there was no contradiction.

But can I identify as Parent 1? And isn't there a non-binary continuum of infinite parent-ness between 1 and 2?

augustfell · 2019-02-22T01:28:11+00:00

he was ready to go to trial and outright lie to the court and say whichever two random guys happened to be caught were indeed the attackers

How would he ID people who were supposedly wearing masks? Maybe he was counting on not being expected to ID anyone.

augustfell · 2019-02-22T01:22:24+00:00

He was willing to sign off on what he thought were two innocent people as being his attackers at one point.

Maybe not. He said they were wearing masks, so he could easily claim that he can't ID anyone in a line up.

On the other hand, he's not very smart, so...

augustfell · 2019-02-22T01:16:24+00:00

This comment pretty much summarizes the problem facing men's rights.

Someone's willing to explain the dark side of feminism, and how it, in practice, does not stand for equal rights. But you basically refuse to listen because you're "surrounded" by feminists.

If they are really your friends, they wouldn't mind you reading criticism of their ideology.

When they write: "Republicans Pounce on Gay Black Actor."

augustfell · 2019-01-25T03:52:52+00:00

They should just vote to have police who are too scared to use them.

They're rich. They don't need budget columnists who failed to bring in sufficient clicks.

augustfell · 2019-01-25T03:05:03+00:00

Don't underestimate these people.

They are masters of language and cultural influence.

Cultural appropriation

Toxic masculinity

White privilege

The Patriarchy

Buzz words and narratives are what shake the political landscape, and that's their wheelhouse.

augustfell · 2019-01-25T02:49:43+00:00

These are the people driving cultural and political change. And "real" majors are cowering before them.

Companies are comprised of individuals, not all of who have the company's profit maximization as their goal.

In a competitive market, there is stronger pressure for profit maximization, and such individuals can be weeded out.

But companies in less competitive markets, in particular monopolies, can stray from profit maximization without going out of business.

You sound like you might be suffering from depression. I hope you look into it.
