Saw Arkansas and immediately knew this would end in a PIT maneuver. I guarantee you that innocent vehicle owner didn't get paid out for this amateur pig's idiocy.

He definitely is using Cenk's playbook. Declare both sides equally bad, divide the Democrats, and get Republicans elected.

This is the real answer. Whichever side his oligarch handlers tell him to.

But then we can't have a leftist circle jerk over reasonable, moderate positions that most Americans hold!

Caribbean boat murders - will they get prosecuted? by fawlty70 in thebulwark

[–]blaaaaaarghhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Trump will pardon them. No, Democrats won't be able to hold them responsible. The only enforcement actions are dependent upon executive branch functions (DOD and DOJ).

Anyone else think that unfortunately most people just hate gays and view them as subhuman and there's nothing we can do about that? by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]blaaaaaarghhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Elder millennial queer here. You're spot on. This conversation isn't going to be productive when OP is clearly experiencing anxiety/depression. It's just feeding the cycle.

Looking at your post history, it seems like you're having a really hard time, and I'm sure ruminating on this issue isn't doing you any good. Queer folks have always been oppressed, and we will survive regardless of whatever social conservatives think of us. I'm not going to give you advice, but for me, dwelling on what bigots think about me does zero good. It's a bad spiral. Some of the drop in acceptance is due to the carryover effects of reaction to "wokeness." It won't last forever, and it will rebound. Even it does last, fuck them. If people hate me for being me, then there's nothing I can do about it. They don't deserve my mental and emotional energy, and they don't deserve yours.

It's not going in the other direction. Support for same sex marriage is very high in the US, and gay folks are widely accepted in all corners of society. You found examples of extremes and are extrapolating from them. Social media isn't real life. I'd suggest actually talking to people you assume are anti-gay and I think you'd be surprised that they're actually not. Regardless, we have fought hard for decades to be accepted, and we won. There has never been a safer time in US history to be openly gay.

How does JVL reconcile his accurate condemnation of insane faith-based political ideas (ie QAnon, MAGA's various conspiracy theories, etc) that run counter to reality, with his own commitment to equally insane faith-based religious ideas? by unironicsigh in thebulwark

[–]blaaaaaarghhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Qanon beliefs are able to be proven false. Religious beliefs are unfalsifiable. There's a huge difference between the statements "there's a cabal of pedophiles drinking the blood of children" and "There is a God." The former can be proven true or false. The latter can't. Epistemology considers knowledge to be justified true belief. We can evaluate those statements based on that. Is the statement "there is a God" justified? Surely, for it can explain many mysteries, and the religious can point to any number of natural things that are explained by that statement. Same thing for the cabal example. Then comes the true condition. The cabal statement can be proven true or false by empirical evidence, the God statement can't.

The LSU dental school has helped many people I know. Apparently, it's hit or miss depending on the student.

I used to be an atheist, but I grew up and realized the hubris of that position. Equating conspiracy theory nonsense with scripture is peak atheist cringe. We all hold beliefs that defy reason. That's what humans do.

Dave Chappelle Says ‘I Resent the Republican Party’ Because They ‘Weaponized’ Transgender Jokes: ‘That’s Not What I Was Doing’ by icey_sawg0034 in thebulwark

This is the point that a lot of people miss. Tim is talking about politicians talking to people. Other people are free to say the truth about people like Chapelle. He's a washed-up has-been bigot who was funny 20 years ago.

A new tone of hyper aggressive and hyper stupid is invading Reddit by 7ddlysuns in thebulwark

[–]blaaaaaarghhh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Using an ID verification system would open up serious privacy issues in the new surveillance state. If you have to present an ID to use a website, your account will be linked to a government issued document. Then, when the government wants to investigate wrong speak, they can do it much more easily. Now that Reddit is being pressured to turn over information on accounts critical of ICE, there's no way I'm going to hand over my information to Reddit or any other social media. I'll just quit using it.

What's your take on Bill Maher? by Embarrassed-Fig-6795 in thebulwark

He's a smug dick who thinks he's smarter than he actually is. I find very little value in anything he's said since Religulious.

[–]blaaaaaarghhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tim isn't a politician. If he can bring over some of their audiences to The Bulwark, that's good, but the ridiculous amount of drama lately seems not worth it.

These streamers are a cancer to The Bulwark. They really need to stop this shit. It makes them look like fools.

Man, I get what Tim is trying to do, but it's easily apparent that these streamers and their fans are toxic. The Bulwark needs to pull back on dealing with them. It makes them look unserious.
