  • And also a reminder that Switzerland flirted with actual nazism. Remember that whole "neutral" during WWII thing. That was really finlandization of Switzerland from western powers. They operated inside the German economic block.

    So telling a swiss company that Trump is a nazi and association with anything even 0.0000001% a nazi would be outside of what you'd expect for a Swiss is kind of funny.

    The only thing Nazi-like about Trump is his support of Israel committing a genocide against people who are in the way of Israel's Lebensraum.

  • The problem is female and women aren't grammatically equivalent, so you can't just drop one in place of the other anytime you want. It bugs me when people say woman president. Imagine electing a man president. The correct word in that case is male. You'd be electing a male president. I don't care about anyone's politics. I'm just getting tired of people in suits on tv using poor language and being asked to be taken seriously. And I'm not singling out democrats. Republicans adopted that language too. There are people on tv who wouldn't pass kindergarten telling us what they think will affect GDP.

  • So if I make a better car using customer feedback is the rights to the car really theirs because it was their opinions that went partially into the end product?

    IP is a joke anyway. If you put information out into the world you don't own it. Sorry, you can't have it both ways. You can simultaneously support torrenting movies (I do, and I assume you do too), while also claiming you own your comments on the internet and no one can "pirate" them.

  • Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Did people on the ground at the time see things? Then maybe they know what they're talking about.

    Do we disregard evidence just because the conclusion it could help draw would be uncomfortable? Then we cement our biases. "There is no evidence that." "I mean no evidence that I haven't dismissed for violating the conclusion I want."

  • Maybe we can put the state on trial. They always want to talk about how much of a pro or an amateur he is. It's a strange obsession. The only amateurs I see are "experts", cops, media. Of course I don't want them to be better. They can just fock off.

  • I'm disappointed that he looks nothing like the guy in the hotel and it seems to be only the right that is catching on, even though the left has every reason to. Look, we have images of him both before and after his arrest. In both cases he has massive eyebrows, a highly structured face, a broad nose, and a face with a 50:50 aspect ratio.

    In the hotel, no bushy eyebrows, that's the most clear thing to spot. But everything else is wrong too. These two guys look nothing alike, at all. How are people not seeing this? Both could be described as "hot." People are making a point of mentioning that. To the internet do all hot guys look identical?

    Look at the guy in the hotel. Tell me he doesn't have a narrow nose. Because he does.

  • The left bans information too. Quite a lot. And actually they didn't ban books. The government simply did not provide books. You just demonstrated that you are disconnected from reality right then. On every issue the left is disconnected from reality.

  • Yeah. Voting is retarded. Yet if anyone on the right tells you that republican democracy is a failed concept that creates a false sense of control and corruption you call them un-democratic and a nazi. But if you come to that conclusion yourself its ok.

  • You still haven't figured it out yet? The middle hates echo chambers. The right and left both have echo chambers but they vote against the one that seems more disconnected from reality. By controlling speech and removing content as a knee-jerk reaction to any inconvenient information or opinion as a habit, the left have separated themselves from reality more than the right, by at least a little.

    This comes off as threatening to people. Because a mob of people disconnected from reality that will simply silence anyone's defense of themselves feels like a situation that could get out of hand. And everyone has experienced having their speech controlled. They don't like it.

    All politics is a proxy for culture war. And you lost a culture war by being controlling assholes. Watch you try to silence me right now. Just know that that habit going forward will make you lose more.

  • Exactly. If want to stay connected to reality we should use historical analogies only. Remember when Maduro promised Venezuelans a better life, but life just got shitty instead. And instead of eating Nicolás Maduro they ate out of trash bins.

  • And he did give them a better life. They ate him because it served the movie's plot. Also wtf was mufasa doing to make all the land more sunny? Was it that whole circle of life thing where he gets to eat his subjects?
