This is Holocaust revisionism you illiterate baboon. The Nazis had a "starkly economic incentive for murder on a scale larger even than the Holocaust" due to food shortages. Slave labor replaced workers who had been called away to wage war on the Eastern Front.
@LittleMammith
I mean, a) it's a fucking Chan post
and b)do you think when trans people say "second puberty" they're joking around? There's a reason people are sensitive about this topic and it's because it's extremely easily used to block us from medicine.
one wonders if slavery was so profitable and so material, why didn't the Danish, Dutch, French etc didn't get enslaved in the same systems and to the same extent. one wonders why the south enslaved people and the north didn't
@SwiftOnSecurity
It's that and "how precise can we get measurements." Gauges, micrometres, measuring blocks, even just a bench that's confirmed flat to X standard was incredibly fucking difficult!
@LittleMammith
Man, you need to take it down a notch. It's Twitter. It's an anonymous account who's into fucked up porn. When you say things about male socialisation or whatever about these accounts you're dipping your toes into extremely wild waters.
@MoiraDonegan
yeah I'm starting to think journalism is an industry that is downright incestuous and lacking any self-awareness. a bunch of guys in the biz knew him, that seeped through into this obit.
@LittleMammith
Again, I really wanna emphasise that estrogen when it gets into your system makes you act in a lot of weird ways. Do you think I'm acting out misogynistic stereotypes of womanhood when I cry a lot or get emotional easily? Or is porn/sexuality the only avenue for this?
We need to phase out Media Literacy as a term used in common parlance now because it just devolves into "Oh, this thing that put you off or you think didn't work? Uhhh, that was the point. Media illiterate much?"
I didn't really like Poor Things. I didn't feel much, wasn't really entertained. I got what it was going for, it just wasn't my kinda thing. But I see comments like this and worry about general media literacy. Like, yeah man, that's the point.
@AnneNotation
This is the exact tone that a guy from National Review or something would use to Intelligently and Rationally explain why, actually, they Were No Angel. This isn't soulless, this is taking a deep and warped pleasure in bigotry and bullying than most are capable of.
@_night_brain__
idk it doesn't seem that hard. "If your money is constantly worth more every day why would you spend it". Or "if everything is worth less how do the shops make money"

@Tankgorl
formerly oppressed lol. They were still oppressed when the USSR ruled over them. this is incredibly obvious if you know even the slightest bit about them
@himdogson
The only way out is really multicultural societies instead of just going "duck season/rabbit season" on various forms of nationalism forever
@watn_tarnation
i posted about this earlier but if somebody is claiming the shooting at random ships is okay they should also claim it'd be fine to shoot down airliners heading to israel
@souljagoytellem
the correct answer is clearly that liberalism is fascism, and Lenin/Marx were advanced liberals and therefore a whole new higher tier of fascist
@sorkincel
In addition to 1% of all polyamorous people dying of COVID every month, they also have a 65% unemployment rate due to discrimination which no govt bureau will ever calculate due to discrimination
@LittleMammith
It's a post on the internet. I'm sorry, but when you transition you have to go to the gas station like this. You have no fucking clue that they're "solely doing it in relation to sexist tropes." You don't follow their life 24/7.
@LittleMammith
You can examine the fact that they're misogynistic. Misogynistic tropes are deployed by women all the time. When they're deployed by trans women, however, they represent not just misogyny but an entire undermining of their identity.
@IRHotTakes
To me it's always been a hammer and anvil strategy. Stonewall was preceded by decades of Mattachine etc stuff that laid a decent amount of groundwork, then Stonewall hits and you have a decent amount of institutional clout to get people to go "well maybe..."
@ElGranSenglar
There's a lot more nuances to these conflicts. The Falklands was ill-defended and the ability of the UK to project power that far had not been tested in a long time. They were flying Harriers off of container ships and the UK had a number of frightening bloody noses.
@libhawkish
what is the obsession of left types and going "oh you're not like the French liberals of 200 years ago" yeah shit changed did you expect us to be radicals
@zanyfen
Also that New Atheism is inherently forever tainting of any atheism whatsoever because it was cringe and anti social justice eventually, whereas religions are obviously never treated to the same standard.
@ABeardedPanda
This is really funny to say because Obsidian explicitly wrote Lonesome Road and the Tunnelers or whatever they were called as a threat that would ruin the progress society had done in recovering, a new apocalyptic threat that couldn't be countered
@LittleMammith
What does this scepticism actually DO. That's the thing. It mostly just drags in random trans people and makes them realise, oh, yeah, my identity is always conditional on those in my life's moral judgement, which is actually a really shitty feeling!
@magi_jay
@JoePostingg
@cancelkultur
Magdi, the Israelis are the ones who wore civilian uniforms. That is as illegal as it gets. That's unquestionably a warcrime, same as dressing in enemy uniforms.
@ABeardedPanda
Also that the American conscript military was pretty poor and atrophied in many ways. Korea was another warning sign of how bad things had gotten post WW2.
@AdamBlumenau
When he made a video making fun of Path of Neo, that's when I realised not only was he lame he also just couldn't see something interesting staring him in the face
@LittleMammith
Sorry, but the idea that my gender can be revoked at any time is dangerous to me and always will be. You may be a saint who always applies it when it's always deserved but those around you won't and don't. It's just a fact.
@ShadowTodd
I think people confuse it with the idea that she was chosen due to her general sympatheticness and clean background compared to other cases, which is true and was also a good idea!
@richard_normal
Look I know this is a silly post and yes the humble bragging is bad but really, cults prey on our social instincts and loneliness and desire to be with people. Any of us in the worst parts of our lives could fall for this kinda stuff, the same way we could with drugs or addiction
@souljagoytellem
Bautista is maybe the best, but Cena is a giant wellspring of untapped potential and easily my favourite. Not as good at landing to searching for the serious roles he deserves like Bautista is.
@ProgDirectorate
important distinction you're missing that Kendrick is mad at himself and his community for their hypocrisy and the way they can hurt themselves and fox uses a lazy trope to distract from their pet issues. not that hard
@TheVinylFactory
Hey, anybody who's reading this and seeing all the comments calling bullshit: It's not.
Here's a video that goes into the really interesting history of the underground rock scene and the pressures they faced- don't buy the people yelling propaganda.
@LittleMammith
I get the concerns to a certain extent but their uniqueness in the context of trans women is extremely questionable and the original post, where you decry how people are sensitive about this, does not fill me with confidence at all.
@historyiscool__
@RuNoseP
There's an intense moral relativism with these sorts of people where they don't actually dislike genocide as a thing in and of itself, violence, repression etc: it just has the wrong targets.
@PunishedMinerva
part of his arc in the show is how he's hemmed in by that identity and has a capacity for emotional growth and change that Walt lacks- an ability to know when things have gone too far. that's why i think he would eventually go lib

Stancil: heh, haven't heard that name for a long time.
DNC: It's Biden. He's failing in the polls, he's under attack by the media-
PIMP STANCIL: I'll grab my monocle.
@revhowardarson
i feel like so many of these types, especially in the west, are utterly detached from what political violence actually looks like and why people do it. it's like in their mind it doesn't actually accomplish anything, it's just the ultimate repudiation of the wrong opinions
@opinonhaver
I actually think the broadness of the setting and conflicting writers and understandings are to 40k's benefit. You can take it from a bunch of different directions where there _are_ ways to satirize it (the soul drinkers are an example of that I remember)
@worsematt
Yeah, it was really immensely useful for putting a mirror up to my own hypocrisies regarding I/P and to get me to change my mind. It is a fantastic litmus test.
if contrapoints had existed during the napeolonic wars she would have served aboard a frigate that went down with all hands after running aground on the rocks off of the spanish coast while chasing the lucrative prize-money of a french transport

and they could not go against their masters in Moscow for any reason and were heavily ethnically discriminated against, a practice of which still continues today.
@revhowardarson
We throw around contrarian a lot, deservedly so, but this is like the Delta variant of contrarianism: incredibly twisted and warped and taking a sick pleasure in going against the obviously true, and trying to sound like a reasoned scholar while doing so.

the UK is bad because it enforces its bad aspects. the US system is bad because it has many mechanisms to skirt the good aspects.
@lefttwick
I get why it didn't get coverage, tbh. Isolated and not well known countries with not very easy narratives and no real strategic interest. You're right that they're interesting and deserve more info and exposure but I get it.
@peterawolf
yeah this dude is such a pathetic loser, he's never going to get involved in anything dangerous. just an "influencer" for the rest of his life
@LittleMammith
I think that no matter what crimes one of us may commit or the beliefs we may hold, we're the gender we say we are in good faith and that can never be taken away for very good reason.
@ElGranSenglar
You need the revelation that the professor only became a Christian because they were scared of dying or had some other non-faith reason for joining
@revhowardarson
once again people left-of-center unfamiliar with military topics totally unable to realise that these airstrikes cannot possibly be happening at this pace without just wasted bombs dropped on civilians
@revhowardarson
okay but seriously it's so good that the policy wonk class has been so energized by Biden victory- so many niche things like this that are vitally important are getting notice and treatment
@opinonhaver
okay you computer motherfuckers are making shit up now. I could believe "C" maybe even "C++." R was pushing it. But Hadoop? Mongo? Docker? Fuck you, do you think I'm that gullible?
Yes, something can be The Point and still be poorly executed or off-putting. Something can challenge or disgust the viewer and still be bad. Like if someone said "I don't really like saw because of all the torture porn" the obvious response would be "yeah sure"
No it's an annoying type of person that exists. All of these "actually annoying people who constantly talk about things you like being slop don't exist" posts all ignore that they're all liked and retweeted by the exact people they say don't exist
The "pretentious film bro" is largely an archetype people cooked up to compensate for their insecurities about having no standards and little artistic curiosity.
@IRHotTakes
It was the same thing with gay marriage. You had your less radical gays and allies embedded throughout society who could do activism through lawsuits etc and an undisciplined but big and more radical mob who could outlay a lot of pressure. Working in concert is really important!

Actually, you have a lot of liberal sympathies, you clash with reactionaries all the time and your beliefs are compatible with liberalism. put yourself on there!
@LiberalDsa
infuriating pattern among this and people of a right wing conspiracy mindset is they unironically think people say "oh corporations are my friends!" Or "the government would never lie to me!" Extremely annoying and stupid
@zanyfen
People really don't seem to understand how conservative communism was, do they? Like they associate maybe ten years of state support of the avant garde with the USSR and then ignore how much of it was old people yelling at those damn kids

what possessed you to post an extremely distressing video of somebody falling down seven stories, only to do a spin on a racist joke with more racism

This has stopped being playtime haha Elon is stupid type shit and transcended into something extremely vile and sickening, and I don't get that way easily. Intervened manually. Fuck.
