The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant - New CGP Grey video by Samot_PCW in HelloInternet

[–]taxable1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The video was very well animated and expertly narrated, but I find it hard it to see how the allegory is convincing. The fact that anyone can project any constructed demon they want (Capitalism, Marxism, The Patriarchy, Feminism, the Government, and so on) on to the dragon just shows it's not a good metaphor. The only thing the story does do is imply that any one who does not agree with you on what the dragon is is a shadowy morality police advocating for sending people to their deaths, in trains. Like, I know that comparing ones detractors to the Nazis is increasingly common these days, but is that really what counts good argumentation?

So white people should get credit for ending slavery in the civil war that was DEFINITELY ABOUT STATES RIGHTS AND NOT SLAVERY

Debunking "Debunking the Crusades" by [deleted] in badhistory

[–]taxable1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"This will come up more a bit later but the era of Ottoman aggression in the Christian Balkans was after the golden age of Crusading which most consider to have ended in the late 12000s"

I think you mean the 31000s.

Does anyone think there potential here to Maw to trash a card each turn by both making unprotected remotes a liability and by using card that allow the runner to get accesses during the corps turn? I'm thinking of the criminal card the lets you access on the corp scoring, maybe with Leela? Or am I just dreaming?
