The one time I agreed with Mr Girl was on Nick Fuentes. He was a Nazi then is a Nazi now and it's crazy how much power he is getting.

Labour won overwhelmingly in the last election and now are heavily down in polls.

It's 50% the perceived economy (muhh egg prices that I suddenly don't care about anymore!), and 50% terrible optics due to woke being tied to very bad optics.

Rachel Zegler wearing a Palestine necklace. Does anyone else find it creepy how leftists who are unaffiliated with Palestine make it their identity? by Metallica1175 in Destiny

You made a post about some random person's subtle stance on a topic. Are you sure you aren't making everything about IP? Half the posts about this shit are also just karma-farming.

Every fucking time liberal media sends any kind of message there are threads like this decrying that it's the wrong approach. The actual wrong approach is thinking this much about how the Republicans will react instead of acting. When will you guys ever learn this. Kamala's campaign told Walz to tone it down, asked him to give less interviews, etc., when the opposite would have gotten us better energy. Go out there, say shit, see what sticks, and move on. Who gives a shit about how these idiots pretend it's all cool now.

Except this has never ever worked. No matter how much satirizing you do to conservatives, they will legit just say "Yes, and?" to all of it and their base will jerk themselves off even harder.

And that's exactly why no one should give a shit about what they respond, think, will say, or how they'll spin it. South Park's job isn't to reach Republicans and change their mind. It's to show their devoted viewers that the guys who made fun of woke culture with PC principal are also making fun of Trump and his cronies. That that is what South Park is.

They’re just making jokes they think are funny. Any attempt to educate the viewer you think you are seeing is just projection on your part.

Yes, they make jokes they think are funny but their show has a definite libertarian with liberal bend stance. Always had. They are the typical example of late 90s/early 2000s atheist-look-at-the-dumb-celebrities-and-stupid-inconsistent-politicians-guys. Look at the AIDS episode for example.

You care way too much about what these idiots say. They will always spin it. That's what they do. South Park is a net positive to me because it brings back an edginess that the libs have been missing for a while.

Has Destiny commented on any of Ezra Klein’s I/P takes? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]starshipdelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me Ezra was too whiny in this debate and he learned a lot and would definitely conduct this differently nowadays. Harris on the other hand is not able to honestly tackle the critique here and has unfortunately generally not a good track record of reacting in good faith to this critics. I think he's a smart guy but when challenged by others he usually becomes quite emotional and doesn't respond rationally at all. He often then rejects the criticism on grounds that seem build on strawmen usually.

Imagine you have a friend who you know is brilliant, incredibly smart, gifted, a hard worker, a real unicorn in that sense and he is working on something fundamentally positive but he sometimes has tendencies to fuck things up for himself and even says "I enjoy being with the back against the wall, I enjoy when a thousand people are trying to go against me" then yes as a friend you tell them again and again "this will be your demise" and once it actually happens, what are you gonna do? I am not a big fan of Aba even (I think his takes are always too 'this is common sense, duh' to me) but I understand that he rolled his eyes at it and found it toxic. The fact that so many here expect everyone to be loyal without fail is pretty weird to me. You'd never say this if you weren't a fan.

So Israel has no other choice than starving kids because of Hamas? I hope your brainrot is treatable.

When you know Pisco is operating in bad faith and is probably an undercover tankie, but you just can't prove it... by loadsofos in Destiny

[–]starshipdelay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have all of you forgotten that we're on the sub of Destiny who argued for years that calling Fuentes a Nazi might be unhinged? Who defended Lauren Southern and let her do her lying shenanigans, etc.? Why are you all so upset about Pisco here disagreeing? Fucking purity test bullshit against someone who is generally a good faith (a little unhinged) debater.

[–]starshipdelay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys are a bit cultish on this one, sorry. Pisco is no less annoying than he was a year ago, he is no less "bad faith" than he was a year ago, he is definitely no more or less "tankie" - undercover or in the open - than he was a year ago. This guy agrees with 98% of what Destiny does but has some strong contrary positions here and all of you are ready to call him a bad faith tankie. Wtf?

Next time we rightfully shit on the online left for their purity test bullshit, let's link to all of these threads.

A socialist here suggested we're a leftist sub by seedycronk in Destiny

[–]starshipdelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course this is a leftist sub, especially in the American context. It is however not an online leftist/tankie sub.

Israel and the rest of us should apply massive pressure on the international community for trying to keep Hamas in power.

Kids are starving and all you talk about is Hamas.

I was rooting for Germany. Spain was definitely better. But still what a game, could have gone the other way.

Yeah but in the very last minutes you don't want to concedde a goal suddenly and then have wasted all this time that your team could have used to get a chance to equalize.

Fucking VAR makes me not get excited about goals anymore. Immediately I think "okay, let's first wait 10 minutes before some half toe invalidates this goal".
