thinking "how can people be this evil?"

 

You are supposed to found them repulsive but not “evil”. Is a period piece, make judgments like “evil” is out of place because the whole point is that a lot of normal people where like that.

Is easily offended by outdated social behaviours. Intentionally watches a show prominently featuring outdated social behaviours.

Guys I just started Gone with the Wind and wtf, the O'Hara's own slaves?!? That is just not acceptable. If this doesn't move in the direction of a wlw romance I'm going to find it very problematic.

Why can't DoorDash just make an exception for trans people so they aren't murdered? Is it really that hard for cishets to do just one thing for marginalized people?

Rodriguez Melendez, who also has a pending case out of South Hadley for alleged motor vehicle violations, is a Colombian national who is “not here legally,” court papers said.

Thank you for being a living stereotype, you fucking scum.

LEOs not confirming who they pay rewards to is not the same as not paying the rewards. I have no idea why the internet struggles so much with this concept. FBI in particular almost certainly is paying out these rewards, and very likely to who you think they are. Or else you'd hear directly from the person they screwed over but you never do.

Media literacy expert Nola argues, then realizes that "maybe I need to at least read a synopsis again." By which he means watch a YouTube video to tell him what to think about a show he supposedly watched enough to chime in with his hot take, only to find he was out of his depth talking to NinjaScooter.

Honestly since this is the vibe of the thread, the parts of the show that actually got me a bit irked for a different reason were how they addressed things like the MLK and JFK assassinations.

MLK in particular cause absolutely many in that office would have been in the majority of white Americans that had deep negative views of King in 67-68 but the episode basically overly humanized even the shittiest characters and it felt like a whitewashing moment that still sits wrong with me in an otherwise very good show that didn't pull a ton of punches with showing the ugliness of 60's America.

Which really felt in line with how modern white Americans have whitewashed that period of history into a moment where the whole country, including white Americans, collectively mourned MLK's Assassination when by most accounts that was far from the reality, even in more counter-culture spaces like an advertising agency

Im not sure they really pulled punches in how they handled those on the show in that regard. People like Sterling or Cooper may not have been the biggest fans of someone like MLK or the movement he was inspiring but younger "progressive" (for that era) whites seeing MLK's death as a tragedy in the 60s was not really that far from reality.

I kinda disagree especially considering the show hinted at plenty of white supremacist undertones at different points that seemed very much at odds with most of the reactions that episode. Let alone the near collective unity of deep mourning besides basically Harry.

Very much felt like the show going along with the general whitewashing to history that has taken place for white people during that period.

I mean Roger went from literally doing black face a season or so ago to now suddenly having deep mourning for MLK's loss. Don is repeatedly shown to be a rather moderate liberal for the time who openly disdains black militants at the same time MLK's approval in the northeast was plummeting cause he had began advocating beyond just Jim Crowe in the south and pushing for desegregationist policies in northern schools and getting attacked for his associations with communists.

It's a moment where the show has often done a god job showing the warts of these characters but suddenly on this issue there is this race to innocence moment where everyone is given these deep introspective and almost out of character reflections of sympathy. When the reality is most would have probably been rather indifferent or concerned more about "race riots" and the harm to civil order.

I don't think it's white washing to think that MLK and his assassination was a very divisive event and that many white people (particularly younger/more liberal white people) were sad about it.

Maybe I'd have to rewatch it, but the memories I have of how the show handled particularly the JFK and MLK assassinations and later RFK wasn't that all of the characters (particularly the older/more conservative/racist ones like Roger Sterling) were necessarily upset, but were affected by the general malaise that these events and the societal unrest of the era and how that weighed on everyone. I don't remember getting the vibe that Sterling for example was devastated by JFK's or MLK's deaths in the same way as Pete or Peggy or Carla.

I'll maybe need to at least read a synopsis again to make sure not too much of my memory is playing on me but be seen it a couple times and while it's got some subtle moments that as usual do a decent job hinting at certain micro aggressions and internalized pathologies of white supremacy it felt a bit too generous at times even if it was clear they were trying to somewhat add nuance to the reactions

Again, why would anyone want to have a good faith discussion with these clowns on ResetEra? They act like experts on all subjects but can't remember the dumb talking point the YouTuber made that they use as their own. 
It's probably why they are so bad at discussing things with humans in real life. They can't watch a video or look something up to pass off as an original thought. Online you can look up a bunch of shit to look smart but it doesn't work with a quick back and forth. 

I feel bad for all the young Broccoli Heads who can't have discussion without a Cyrano de Bergerac whispering in their ear to coach them through a conversation.

I just finished a re-watch of Mad Men with the missus recently. My main takeaways are that I love Betty Draper and Linda Cardellini, and that the only better show ever made is the sopranos.

Also the only character in the whole show who isn't a giant child is Dawn. I would include Sally but at the end she is kind of literally a giant child in a different sense.

The most evil? Bobby Draper. A total chaos merchant.

[Snoopy]

I’ve never watched Mad Men. Always meant to. Maybe it could become part of the WASP Summer movement I’m starting. Already got a slogan and everything - Let us charge you rent.

Is there anything more played out than cheeky hypocrisy score keeping?

I'm kinda done having a little chuckle about how messy the facist uprising is.

You mean you don't think an endless waterfall of "First Lady Drumpf and President Elon win under the platform of the Leopards Eating Faces Party" jokes are funny, insightful, or constructive?

So that is 71% Conservative then. Moderates are Conservatives who don't want to be labeled that.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/americans%E2%80%99-ideological-identification-steady-in-2024-avg-of-37-conservative-34-moderate-25-liberal.1124352/

37 + 34 = 71% shit

Basically, were cooked.

Fucked country.

Your country is mega fucked.

Moderates tend to lean conservative in the US.

If it walks like a duck.

Meanwhile, in some other countries that forum might have heard of:
Canada: 34% "conservative" - 33% "moderate" - 20% "liberal"
France: 40% "conservative" - 22% "moderate" - 28% "liberal"
UK: 38% "conservative" - 12% "moderate" - 40% "liberal" (personally I'd split Labour in half for each group but I'm keeping the parties intact, ideological polling matches this theory)
Germany: 49% "conservative" - 21% "moderate" - 20% "liberal"
EU: 42% "conservative" - 29% "moderate" - 16% "liberal"
China: 0% "conservative" - 0% "moderate" - 100% "liberal"

Ohhhh but you forget the golden rule: American liberals would be conservatives anywhere else in the world.

Can't have the ONE big leftist voice in Twitch huh

It would be a little funny, if it wasn't for the state we currently find ourselves in, how it's both "left" and right wing chuds pushing for Hasan to get banned. Really goes to show you how much people want to blame the far left for all the issues, while the same people keep running defense for Nazis, genocide, and other heinous shit going on right now.

Yeah, Hasan ain't perfect but he's more important now than ever and they are going to do everything they can to silence him.

Why do grown men get their opinions from twitcher?  I would form opinions watching The McLaughlin Group.

Thread title: GOP saying the quiet part loud, that their voters willing to suffer as long as they do harm to everyone and everything

Quoted tweet:


Slayven thread, so probably a silly one to "well actually" about, but it's amazing how fast era-types go from preaching that social change XYZ is valuable enough to be worth absorbing economic discomfort, but start short-circuiting when it turns out that the other side can do the same thing.

Era would be cheering for a policy that arbitrarily adds a dollar to every price in order to financially support black trans women on twitter. Why act surprised when your ideological mirror image is happy to eat tariffs when Trump is taking DEI behind the woodshed?
