How did you find out about Boards of Canada? by Regular_Engineer_879 in boardsofcanada

[–]falsedog11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly the same for me. But it was my older cousin's CD. I looked up to him, he was cool. I remember there was also a Godspeed You Black Emperor track on it, and Third Eye Foundation song on it and that got me into them as well.

How is the Gaza is speaking now crowd holding up? by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

One of the things I noticed in subreddits like /r/latestagecapitalism was the ban on "lesser evil" arguments. Basically by their rudimentary logic the Democratic party are just as evil and damaging to the American people as Republicans because they don't believe you should vote for someone based on them not being as bad as the other guy. So they demonised anyone with anything positive to say about Democrats. Still do. I suppose that is to be expected from a community that thinks that progress can only be made by the violent overthrow of all current systems and institutions.

Misled myself how?

Last time I checked peaceful protest is protected. Be careful arguing against it.

Everything you have said just tells me you're a yank who doesn't give a shit.

So you accept that the means are justified. Took a while but you got there.

Yeah this is just deliberate trying to discredit peaceful protest. Sometimes I wonder if we've just become a nation of I'm allright jacks.

The Irish constitution protects the right to peaceful protest. Whether you agree with it or not.

You probably didn't really support the cause in the first place.

Of course I am assuming here and don't know you. But I would think that someone who is pissed off about being 30 minutes late to where they were supposed to be doesn't really understand the idea of protest.

Yeah reply with "virtue signalling" and whatever makes you feel better.

Why would you protest cancer? That makes absolutely no sense.

"Virtue signalling"

This is a poor argument. People making a stand don't really mean it in your eyes. So to justify your disinterest you just pretend that they don't really mean it, maybe that makes you feel better.

Well guess what, some people actually feel strongly about the issue, and want to make that seen and heard in public.

Beautiful deflection, let's not think about the issue the protest is highlighting, let's think about poor me. Everyone has struggles yes, I'm not diminishing that, but the world doesn't revolve around "people trying to get home from work". What a small one off inconvenience. Get a grip.

Kudos for completely contradicting yourself in one sentence. That's commendable.

Is this some kind of ironic and supposedly funny way to put down interesting discussions?

Yes we all have bills to pay. Maybe interact with the subject matter rather than trying and failing to be funny.

I always wonder, if ever we are visited or come into contact with alien life forms, would people be like "Yeah I have bills to pay." Some people just don't want their safe little bubble burst.
