How many left-leaning individuals do you know that hold "being liberal/leftist" as a template for their identity? Not many, I'd wager. It may be an important part of who they are, but it's typically not a trait that gets individually listed off.

And I was actually going to read this shit.

I can't believe the right is doing to us what we did to them. I thought they had honor. Stop being hypocrites!  = Internet leftist take.

The right and left, both our capitalistic oppressors, have been using these tactics on one another in an attempt to remove, little by little, our constitutional rights. = The true and real take  

but y'all aint ready to hear this

This is one of the best posts I've read on this site, just want to let you know. Nothing but truth.

Im not shedding a tear over a him but also don't celebrate the unarmed execution of people, just like in general, we don't win by sinking to their level of hostility

Take a fucking look around. You're not winning anything. While fascists are actively rounding up everyone they can, you're clutching your pearls about the tone over some ratfuck who made it his business (and a very lucrative one) to be a megaphone for Nazi ideology. He's not "people", he's a front-facing tool operating at the behest of a fascist state.

Im not clutching pearls, I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable how many people around me are just ok with someone being murdered, and I also agree that the world is a better place without that guy. Also there's no reason to talk like that based on what I said, maybe it's a good time to log off

Charlie Kirk was not a "someone". He was a fascist that voluntarily traded in his humanity.

That thread also has yet another instance of the Right Side of History denying the humanity of others:

These "people" just don't really deserve empathy or tolerance because their intolerance is so toxic

jimmy kimmel is, as sad as it is, one of the bigger pushes that could get random middle of the road whites/liberals to turn to things like this

they can be very disconnected as long as he keeps it distant or abstract enough from impacting their lives, but directly and openly taking their tv away? hoo boy

Finally libs are getting of their asses, shooting tv stations

They'll shoot up a TV station for a rich white cishet male but when the NYT spends years pushing propaganda about genociding all trans people B-Dubs is all "it's a valid source, we can't ban it to keep trans members safe." As always, cis don't care and Era doesn't have enough trans people on staff.

Surely you know about Sarah McBride's previous comments that disappointed many in the trans community, right?

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/what-sarah-mcbride-gets-wrong

This reply isn't really directed towards you, Alavard. Here's my filthy institutional liberal take on this — I'm a minority but I'm not part of the LGBTQ community. However, I feel like that doesn't mean dropping a line on these issues makes my take invalid. I've never disregarded the opinion of all the white dudes here that speak up for black folks while on their MacBooks sipping on their double espresso lattes at Starbucks. If you make a good point, you make a good point.

CHANGE is incremental. It's not overnight, it's not straight to 100 mph, it's a step-by-step process over an extended period of time. The fact that an openly trans member of congress exists in this climate is wild. She's not perfect, she doesn't align with every talking point on Erin Reed's substack or whatever, but she exists. With all of the insane issues we have going on right now, seeing a thread trying to specifically bury Sarah McBride of all people for not voting against this Kirk holiday thing is completely missing the point. After everything that's happened over the past year, how have we not learned that this isn't the way? It's not how politics works, it's not how LIFE works.

Wait, Embiid isn't LBGTQ and he's a straight cis?  NepNep, now is your chance to strike that cis man down with a permanent ban!

[Orange Juice Box]

Yep, the other side constantly does this.  Reminds me of the German Progaganda during WWII.

Animalistic metaphors: Portraying targeted groups as vermin, insects, or other dangerous or contemptible animals.

Denial of agency and emotion: Denying a group's capacity for complex thoughts, intentions, or feelings, which removes moral inhibitions against harming them.

Demonization: Presenting the opposition as a purely evil and monstrous force that is an existential threat to society.

Fabricated narratives and misinformation: Promoting biased stories and fake reports, including false atrocities, to incite fear and hatred.

But look at those at ape faced savages.  Would you expect them to do anything less?



Why can't they evolve?

Messy thread
https://www.resetera.com/threads/online-piracys-great-comeback-as-the-enshittification-of-streaming-services-continues.1303203/

When streaming first started, it was convenient and cheap enough, reducing the need for piracy. However, as streaming subscription costs keep on rising, cost of living increases, password sharing is taken away, shows are deleted permanently and become lost media, geographic restrictions, worse customer service, enshittification keeps getting worse, content fragmentation, being worse than cable, needing multiple subscriptions, that online piracy would be increasing each year on year. Piracy services have way better UI now and the media there stays nearly forever. And as streaming executives continue to enhance their greed, continue to be awful companies morally, focus squarely on quarterly profits, at the expense of customer experience, it's more tempting to sail the seven seas.

Embiid got some fun replies in the thread from the usual suspects 

Change is often incremental, yes, but it isn't the rate of change that's the issue, it's the direction of travel. Which continues to progress toward removing trans people from public life and has done for years. McBride holding her position may have, in and of itself, been of significance in a world trending toward greater acceptance and opportunity for trans people, but that isn't the world we live in anymore. We're currently seeing calls for trans advocacy and advocates to be regarded as terrorists. Access to healthcare – which, to be clear, is access to be ourselves in and of our own bodies – is being removed. Career paths are being stripped away along with access to basic public facilities.

Incremental change isn't putting your name in to pay respect to someone who believed trans people should be electroshocked or beaten out of existence. Let alone at a time where his state-mandated veneration is resulting in suppression of free speech and media, open calls for trans people to be taken 'off the streets', and witch hunts for people who so much as criticised him following his death.

I don't care if you're an institutional liberal or whatever. I do think it's shitty though to imply trans people taking issue with McBride don't understand how life works. When it's often as a result of experiencing how life works as a trans person that leads them to expect better from the one person in that role they have who can relate directly to their experience.

Just going to say it and I don't mean to taunt the thread or upset the OP, I REALLY don't like the idea of defining real people based on D&D stats, in fact I find it very dehumanising and in many cases ableist (same as pointless as applying alignment on people, fictional and real)

Real people are multifaceted l, complex, contradictory and can vary wildly based on many factors, with broad personalities, you simply can't boil that down and apply an arbitrary  number to it. Intelligence really bothers me in this regard as we already in this thread have people basing Intelligence on IQ... You know the system that is well known to be outdated, doesn't actually determine intelligence and is deeply problematic (with along history of being used to justify racism, ableism and stuff in the US like forced strellization) and highly biased agaist people with physical disabilities and the neurodivergent (not that most people care).

Do Autistic people like deserve to be graded lower because of a test that is bias against us, regardless of our actual intelligence, abilities or skills? It's also just silly regardless, what is the best neurologist in the world not intelligent because they don't how to cook or random movie trivia? Is a Paleontologist deserving of a lower score because they aren't also an expert in meteorology? Also wisdom is part of intelligence, knowing a tin of stuff means nothing with the ability to use it, having them be separate stats makes no sense.

And to be blunt, people have off days, people make mistakes, even the smartest of us make rash choices, sometimes don't think or fall for scams and victims to ego and pride; that's being human and not something to be shamed. I dislike the smug superiority some have that assumes their immune to propaganda and rightwing rhetoric (you aren't) or that they are inherriantly more intelligent then others often based on arbitrary reasons.

I would hate to live in a world where humans were stated (and who gets to grade people? The government, AI, some biased group (going back to the IQ thing?), making it okay to block people from jobs, opinions treated as lesser etc. That seems like an even worse version of what we have today.

Plus in the context of fictional characters, it's also pointless because again, fictional character are complex.
