Liberal Redneck - Black Lives Matter

newtboy says...

How stupid are you people, Bob?
He’s mad BLM doesn’t support police? 🤦‍♂️

Black Lives Matter is a movement in response to police (including black police) acting like black lives don’t matter for most of the country’s history and blatantly murdering them in the streets in full public view or in their homes with no worry they might be punished.

But you want to pretend you think it’s a scam because it doesn’t support black police despite them being part of the problem, or because they haven’t tried to solve every single issue faced by “black America”.

They are a one issue organization, and they have made serious, unprecedented improvements on police accountability, but still have miles to go.

Odd you pick on BLM for anything you think you can…silliness like accusing them of not lifting all black Americans out of poverty with their donations…but when the Trumps take millions in donations, stealing directly from needy veterans, and hundreds of millions in political donations from donors and spend it on themselves that’s a nothingburger…and you still tell yourself it’s not because you’re racist, you aren’t racist, there must be some other difference….I got it, BLM isn’t grifting and stealing enough and it upsets you. Right? 😂

Haha! I threw that ... before I walked in the room!

The movie was fun, but it didn't quite live up to the sheer goddamn brilliance of the trailer

Why I Left the Left

vil says...

The historical precedents being (self)censorship and gulags.

Subjective offense and harm defined by well-meaning panels of social judges are the road to hell.

Is the man really black enough to be allowed to say nigger? Is the woman really ugly or is she justly offended? Who decides? Or is there some other concept at work here? Like common morals decided upon by peers in normal social contact (conflict), instead of dictated by a "higher" entity, the SJW.

Let the people decide for themselves. The normal path is that legislation is formed based on morals, not the other way round.

It's a difficult concept to define what is an act of harm. In general this is highly related to concepts of political correctness and has it's very roots in classical liberal thought. In my understanding, Mill would say not to restrict free speech in the case offense only in the case of harm. However, psychology and neuroscience make this line less distinct in caseses of trama or deep internalized concepts where we might see words leading to genuine harm of an individual, not just offense. This means that harm is less universal and depends on the individual and it leads to the idea of separating spaces based on the line between offense and harm. My understanding is the idea of rating systems, red light districts come from this. Also, now, a newer concept of safe spaces. It's easy to say that people should just suck it up, but it's not always that clear cut and there is historical precedence for this idea.

Where Be Aliens?

RFlagg says...

My long time issue with the "they would be too intelligent/evolved to have any interest in us" type scenario, such as he puts as number two here, is that we go through great lengths to try and research and understand very primitive life. There are efforts being made to talk to dolphins and apes. We're looking to build ships to crash or land ships onto Titan to see if there is microbial life on a moon orbiting a gas giant, not to mention work to see if Mars once upon had life. So the very fact we're able to get off our little rock (though not much off it), I think would warrant a stop and look, perhaps to help answer what was life like at such an early stage of evolution.

Not said stop and look doesn't imply any sort of communications. Indeed there may be a Prime Directive like thing with them where by they see and observe, but leave no evidence of such a visit (alien abductions being just mental illness coupled with abuse or other issues).

Now distance is a super valid point, but by far the most likely point is the survivability window, which he talks about in point three. We're still a level zero civilization (Kardashev scale) and decades until we reach a level one civilization (unfortunately it seems delayed even further due to some very anti-science moves being made by certain groups). Moving up that scale is only one thing, avoiding killing ourselves via war is another huge one. With CRISPR technology advancing, there is a very real danger of a Division/Stand/Utopia type disease coming to the foreground, especially if driven by a zealot (ala Division and Utopia). I highly doubt a man made black hole or something, but war or a CRISPR engineered disease... Not to mention the natural disasters he mentioned, and others, such as huge gamma ray bursts and others that we've managed to avoid. And we'd have to think that most civilizations go through somewhat similar phases, with a universe that is fairly hostile to life, even if many planets are capable of at least starting life. Generally I figure that most civilizations never make it past the stage we are at now, and those that do probably don't get to stage two and beyond (to be fair, I doubt any civilization can achieve stage two on Kardashev's scale as it goes beyond knowledge needed, but materials and more).

Back to the technology of communications point. I've generally figured if you are space faring, you gave up on radio communications and are using strange properties or something along those lines.

Westworld: What Makes Anthony Hopkins Great

Payback says...

I liked when Ford visited the Man in Black. Two of the best living actors on the planet in the same scene.

Goosebumps.

This scene chilled me perhaps more than most any other scene... aside from perhaps later in the episode involving Dolores which goes a bit into spoiler territory so I won't cover it... but *promote the awesome view of scene.

Ah good ol' John Locke of Lost playing Go on the beach
the most symbolic image of the rest of the series is in the first episode he held up the white and the black piece toward the camera which fortold the story of the man in black and Jacob (white)

Police Shoot Family Dog in Front of 13yr old Boy

GenjiKilpatrick says...

YES! How is a preemptive attack without an explicit threat ever "reasonable"?

"Ah man, this black guy keeps walking closer and closer toward me. Better pepper spray him before he gets a chance to grab my purse."

"Ah man, better invade Iran in the next 90 days before they use all those nuclear weapons they can't develop for at least another 5 to 10 years."



>> ^renatojj:

is it reasonable to expect the officer to wait until he's bitten so he can shoot the dog?

Cheers!

And you know, I think this might be breakout - black hipsterdom meets pop success. I mean I'm only a white guy but I feel like I can chart artistic white man's black man's underground hip hop in pretty inaccurate accurate way. I feel like a lot started with Kool Keith aka Jupiter, aka Automator 5, aka Dr Octogon... underground and innovative enough to have been on a "power-violence" record by the legendary and far more underground band Spazz, or a group like dalek that had a record with 70's innovative german band Faust which eventually ended up influencing pretty innovative labels like the now defunct Definitive Jux. A lot of this stuff is and was influenced by punk. And I'm not talking Ramones, etc.

These guys are like a white hipster savvy Onyx; but I really do like it and just like the now popular Das Racist you hear references to noise punk / hardcore classics. That is the new hip hop.
