@AmerisuWaru @HelldiverL61685 Animaniacs writers were bitter Hollywood scabs who weren't funny enough to write jokes for Jay Leno but still got better paid than full time labourers.
TTGO was written by the nepo babies of those writers.
The human centipede of entitled mediocrity.
English

@zetzugami @HelldiverL61685 At least Animaniacs didn't repeat that joke as many times as TT GO would.
English

@ATC69420 @churchs_sermons @swagspider27 @kangminlee @_ShaneGill_ He is making a perfectly cogent point and you are dodging it.

@zetzugami @Strawb3ryField @WMckort @bya3k @lporiginalg Whatever you need to tell yourself, only the Irish and the Welch have DNA with English roots, the rest of you are mongrels
English

@JeanPierre33733 @Strawb3ryField @WMckort @bya3k @lporiginalg Most British have a shared genetic root going back to Basque tribes 17k years ago, with no major migrations in the interim. Each of those groups most brought a few thousand soldiers and administrators.
Whereas the northern mediterraneans...well look at them.
English

@zetzugami @Strawb3ryField @WMckort @bya3k @lporiginalg Like the Norman’s, Saxons, Vikings and Romans? Most British are mongrels
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk Revolutionary language and policy are normalised. Displacement through mass migration are normalised, and drawing attention to it is either criminalised or lauded depending on the speaker.
Normalcy would be revolutionary, so aaccustomed are we to secular dogma.
English

@zetzugami @webmasterdave @elonmusk I mean extremism in the common sense. Like ideas of revolution, displacing huge populations, etc. It's a sort of fantasy talk that can direct people in potentially harmful ways.
English


@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk "Extremism" is similarly nebulous. The neutral position becomes extreme when what is considered "normal" by authoritarian fiat is wildly abnormal.
English

@zetzugami @webmasterdave @elonmusk And while I don't agree with Fuentes, it shows that societies sort of amp themselves up and societally react/overreact, as these feelings sort of brew under the surface and explode after a period of lag within the culture. Either way, any extremism is an overreaction.
English

@Valtgaming @HelldiverL61685 No, its all criticism. If you can't just sail past people pointing out minute detail errors without bawling and creating a strawman version of the person critiquing you, you are an insecure neurotic.
English

@zetzugami @HelldiverL61685 Nitpicking and pedantic comments are not the same as genuine criticism
English

@NoBrakes219 @Valtgaming @HelldiverL61685 No, I'm not criticising realism and neither was the strawman in the clip.
And besides:

English

@zetzugami @Valtgaming @HelldiverL61685 Criticism of REALISM in a CARTOON. Do you not see where the fallacy lies
English

@Valtgaming @HelldiverL61685 "All criticism is invalid because we claimed it is all the same and made by ugly fat people!"
The reboot was made for people like you.
English

@zetzugami @HelldiverL61685 You are the exact person that sequence was made for

@zetzugami @HelldiverL61685 Hey man I think you're the one they're depicting here

@12234d @LookAtMyMeat1 This. In the comic she also immediately assumes that those coercing her for sex have been mind controlled or some similiar comic book explanation for acting out of character, which is what she should have assumed about Deep in the show.
Kripke is a dunce.
English

@LookAtMyMeat1 Show Starlight only being assaulted by the deep makes her look like a huge dumbass btw. Because she knows Homelander is leader of the 7 so her not running straight to him or meave makes no sense.
English

Because in the comics he was which once again is what S1 show Homelander was clearly based more on. Then they used him as a parody vessel for American politics and any semblance of an actual story left.
Btw in the comics its Homelander, A-Train and Black Noir that assault Starlight not the Deep

Kantala fc@ifOnlyKantala
I still have one question about Homelander. Throughout the whole series, they never really showed him as some lustful womanizer or horny character. There’s barely any scene where he acts pervert or obsessed with women in that way. So why did he assault Becca specifically? It doesn't make any sense
English

@corsaren A lot of this speculation and theory crafting about what people you disagree with think could be sorted out by actually talking to them.
I know that might be surprising and contradict your prejudices, but it can be fun.
English

There is a common pejorative attack on rwers, hinted at here, which boils down to “they’re just bitter that their liberal friends think they’re scum.”
And sure, there is something very funny and self-defeating about “owning the libs to get them to like you”. Moreover, the typical response pattern is often full of vice-signaling, commons-plundering, and all manner of “I don’t care if this hurts me, just so long as it hurts you more” behavior that simply validates those same negative labels to which they so strongly object.
It’s childish. It’s grotesque. It’s counterproductive and negative-sum. It is ignobility at its most ignoble. And perhaps most of all, it’s just plain embarrassing.
HOWEVER. I think that the widespread appeal of this reactionary behavior ought to serve as a damning indictment of the overall “theory of change” that the 2010s woke movement represented. The theory that, if you leverage cultural power to shun, shame, and banish wrongthink from the domain of acceptable discourse, that this will somehow engender a form of lasting moral and ideological victory—that by making certain viewpoints unacceptable, you would make them unthinkable.
This theory of change, misguided as it was to begin with, culminated in a mass cultural backlash, the first and second term of Donald Trump, and a reactionary movement so hellbent on revenge that they have willingly destroyed an immense amount of valuable institutional capital just for the chance to inflict a similar degree of anguish upon what they see as their oppressors. By any reasonable metric, this must be considered an abject failure.
This failure should have been foreseeable. In a political system in which everyone’s vote is equal and private, and a new media landscape that eschews top-down enforcement of norms, instead rewarding self-radicalizing echo chambers and simclusters, this strategy is predictably disastrous. Ideologies which are not allowed to participate the light of open debate will merely fester in the dark.
Ancient societies that committed wholesale massacre of the defeated, brutal as they were, at least understood this simple principle: if you want lasting victory, your enemies must either be captured, convinced (i.e., integrated), or killed. Silence is not an option. They will not go quietly into that good night. Slaves without shackles will always revolt once they locate the power to do so, and in doing so they will rarely take care to maintain the prudent constructs of their former masters. They will simply burn it all to the ground.
My current theory of politics is that the #1 problem with our system today is the hollowing out of the conservative movement. In a way, the memetic power of wokeness did succeed in vanquishing traditional conservative ideas from the domain of elite discourse. But if conservative ideas are universally treated as vile, stupid, and evil, then the only men who will remain to champion them will be those who embrace such labels. And in the absence of a Reagan or Friedman or Romney to root for, the shunned masses will search for salvation in men like Trump. If they cannot see themselves in Captain America, they will simply embrace Homelander.
English

@corsaren "I no longer care about your approval, because you have made it clear you will hate me no matter what I do, no matter how low I bow, no matter what absurdities you force me to pretend to believe. I will do as I will, as you do."
Oh what an unreasonable point of view.
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk "More connected" is going to inevitably involve more surviellance footage of politically incorrect events happening every day, more truths long unspoken hitting fertile minds. We have been fed faulty axioms and bled for decades.
Stronger fences make kinder neighburs.
English

@zetzugami @webmasterdave @elonmusk I'm not familiar with some of those terms, but I can agree that sometimes there can be an overreaction in society - but that can happen on both sides. The arrow is more pointing towards a more connected future, so we are gonna have to figure out coexistence.
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk Forcibly socially engineering peoples to abandon their cultures and distinctiveness is genocide, no matter who it is inflicted on. Forcing peoples into becoming a homogenous bio slurry inevitably results in them noticing and becoming more tribal, Soma prescriptions be damned.
English

@zetzugami @webmasterdave @elonmusk This can be true, but the idea is that we have social structures that prevent bias. Groups aren't just going to disappear overnight, as on avg there's a bias towards the familiar, so even if some outbreed, the group doesn't disappear. Also, big changes like that take a long time.
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk We see this with two tier policing and tribal nepotism from ethnic groups who infiltrate government. The unspoken Oikophobia and Xenophilia that has been the Occidental cultural standard for seventy years has just started to be pushed back, because it was built on untruth.
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk Disputable as that assertion may be, ingroup preference and outgroup exclusion are a baseline social technology that if a group of people are deprived of they are put at an inherent disadvantage. If everyone can be tribal but your tribe, your tribe will become extinct.
English

@dexscrol @webmasterdave @elonmusk If one's political outlook is informed by reality instead of carefully curated delusions, you can better react to what is actually happening.
Diversity is not inherently strength, the sexes are not inherently equal, prejudice can be well informed heuristics, kindness is for kin.
