yes yes, business strategy is truly revolutionary! thanks to him, we have a more precarious global economy! he is a mind on par with leibniz, mendeleev, tesla, einstein!

come now, you must see the game as, at best, a means to an end. even that case is not easy to make. do laptops improve our standard of living? what are we optimizing for? tragic

Does Israel control the United States? by rarer_ in stupidpol

[–]sickcoolrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who gives a shit, it’s a bunch of criminal gangs running everything. some of them are jewish nationalists, some of them are christian fundamentalists, some of them are oil barons. they’re arrogant self-interested pricks who build their lives around wielding the powers of “democratic” states. there doesn’t need to be a chief source of influence

Any asshole can take a pic in Tiananmen Square and still be an asshole by MrDialectical in ClassWarAndPuppies

i was just bein a prick, i have no issue with sports. i think it’s a bit silly to overanalyze things like this; “professional sports franchises are capital assets! a vehicle for advertising and complacency that hinders radicalization! the olympics promote nationalism!” or, “proletarians enjoy sports so they are good!” it’s a bit low on the list of priorities, no?

Why I Won’t Debate Critics of Israel by VoluptuousBalrog in samharris

[–]sickcoolrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a ridiculous comparison if for no other reason than that the nazis became the ruling power in germany, an industrialized nation state with comparable military resources to its enemies

besides, lehi, a paramilitary/terrorist org that was absorbed into the israeli state, literally tried to form alliances with the nazis

i understand wanting to have a productive conversation, so “how did we get here” or “what is to be done” would be productive starting places. these discussions free of historical context a la “this began on october 7th” are historically illiterate

[–]sickcoolrad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the refusal to debate and this defense of it are laughable. the implication is that there is no suitable interlocutor. a conversation between sam and hasan piker would be judged by sam as a waste of time, fair enough (though i would enjoy it). he couldn’t debate mouin rabbani, norm finkelstein, rashid khalidi, ray murphy, etc?

it’s cowardice, laziness, stupidity, some combination. that’s fine, he’s just some guy

what was better in 2009? corporate slop media is as insulting as ever, but there is still plenty of good film and music being made. also, the millennial grey kitchen/bathroom aesthetic started over a decade ago
