does anyone remember which resetera poster posted on January 6 2021 about how he was so scared he left work early to go home and get his wife and kid or something

[Uncle]

Shhh:

I read this initially confused and horrified and then realized what they meant

oddly enough, the statement kind of works for both meanings of CBT

anyway:

I'm not watching that shit but the comments seem to give me the jist of the Era complaint:
[i mg]https://i.ibb.co/F4g0sgjN/image.png[/img]

that first one has been really annoying to me for a long time

   

   

this panel is funny, and the joker said it because it was funny and chaotic to do, and would not have acted this way in other contexts where his goals might align more strongly with nazis

also notice his objection isn't that nazis are evil, but that he's "american," the joke is patriotism and not trying to claim some moral high ground

but, braindead fucking morons:   I don't like nazis, and the joker doesn't like nazis! haha nazis bad, I love the joker! even HE isn't that evil! 

[Boredfrom]

Eh, is John Byrne, so the joke could also been “Nazis to Evil for Joker”.

[Orange Juice Box]

While I'm finding myself sympathetic to increasingly extreme forms of climate protest, it seems like this could have been done at a time that was extremely inconvenient without being quite so life threatening. There's not much recourse to lack of heat in winter, aside from burning shit- which is somewhat counterproductive to the stated goals.

Wow.  They would rather defend property than human rights.

[Uncle]

Eh, is John Byrne, so the joke could also been “Nazis to Evil for Joker”.

and that would still be a chaotic spur of the moment decision in order to make a joke

the joker once became a near-omnipotent god and transformed the world in his twisted image, I don't think anyone has any leg to stand on to say "he would never be as evil as a nazi"

[Daffy Duck]

Weirdo

Was a pretty big fan of the movie as a kid but when I grew up and heard the stories about the what some of the actors went through and what they dealt with during their careers I just couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore. Even if this specific movie didn't directly have anything to do with it (I don't know) just regardless after hearing the stories i just wasn't into watching it again.

Just saying because John Byrne is that weird.

HBO’s Harry Potter remake/reboot or whatever is going to be so massive. Hype never really went away for the franchise despite being complete for over a decade now. Gonna be the early 2000’s all over again. 

Also, the first two full cast audio versions of the books on Audible have been fantastic so far, had forgotten a bunch of stuff from the early books so it’s largely been like experiencing them for the first time again. 

And Era trying to pretend the popularity of the series isn’t about to explode again will be fascinating. Can’t hide from the 7+ year run HBO will be on adapting the whole series, no matter how much they’ll want to try to.

FINALLY! Someone else gets the joke of the page. I thought I was being gaslit for the longest time by people pretending to be retarded and going “herpa derp da crazy killer clown doesnt like nazis!? that makes no sense!!!”

I really don't recommend this youtuber. Her recent video about fanfiction was full of blatant homophobia, racism, and misogyny. 😬

I haven't seen any other videos from her, so thanks for the heads up. Deleted link.

I know nothing about this YTer but a person using the fascist/Nazi-adjacent term "degeneracy" is sometimes a tell.

Unfortunate that it's been leaking into good people's vocabularies in recent years too.

More importantly, the comic takes place during the war.

For me, it helps to know that there's a difference between "staying informed" and "being stuck in the 24 hour news and social media cycle."

I went through my phase where I truly felt that I needed to be fully absorbed in the "fast news media" ecosystem in order to stay informed. What I quickly learned is that divesting from 24 hour "newstainment" media, limiting my social media absorption, and valuing the slow absorption of thoughtful and qualified experts didn't result in me being less informed.

It unveiled those forms of content for being the cesspools that they are.

And, yes, sometimes that includes Era.

Take your break, friend.

Is nice when a moderator openly thinks a site is a cesspool.

Anything to know what Royalan considers the, "slow absorption of thoughtful and qualified experts." Some loli voiced, Twitch Anime VTuber with giant tits that talks politics?

But I think a lot of folks here forget how utterly dumb, racist, bigoted the avg voter is. They kinda handwave their bigotry away. How ever you think the avg voter is, they are much dumber & racist then that.

Japan has always been right wing and xenophobic. And Takaichi is turbocharging this sentiment. Over 90% of young voters approve of her, that's insane. You'd think it would be the older citizens that grew up in a war crime denying, racist era, but no lol.

Tis truly a mystery why young people are turning away from those that label anyone they disagree with a Nazi fascist monster...

That is an absolutely insane rejection of reality you've typed there.

It’s a good joke but it’s unrealistic. The right is COMPLETELY fractured right now, visibly. The left is harder to get on the same page mostly because centrists who don’t believe in anything transformative enough to change. They are effectively normal conservatives in a normal government.

Yes, but liberals and leftist exist this way in their right wing fever dreams. It's all 100% accurate if you don't go outside and interact with people and instead just live in their unreality.

It isn't remotely a grift. This guy is Daniel Sloss, a comedian with left-wing views in the UK

You need to be able to criticise "your side" as well, otherwise you're just a fanatic. Unfortunately he is right about this

This isn't true and all the comments saying so need to reevaluate their media consumption or go touch grass. This is what the right portrays the left as. It's a fantasy.

No, I haven't. I go out in the real world and talk with real people. The video is representative of someone terminally online and brainwashed by right wing media boosting. It's not that complicated

Heck, there is something like 3(?)% of the population of Japan that's an immigrant and yet they are being blamed for everything that's wrong in Japan and then justifying the anti-immigration laws that will further kill the Japanese economy.

It's disappointing, but this will probably be a "F around and find out" situation for Japan very quick.

That "racist trolling" ban is absurd. And it's a perm!

That being followed by ACTUAL xenophobia which gets two weeks makes it even dumber!

Straight to a PERM with no previous history? Interesting.

One of the most stupid conservative talking points I see circulating is that the US needs to take Greenland before Russia or China does.

And I'm just like… how? How would Russia or China even get to Greenland? In what fucking world is that even supposed to be possible? How stupid and uninformed do you have to be to get that idea? Haven't you ever looked at a map? Do you have any concept of what Greenland actually is?

God it's annoying. I know it isn't coming from a place of rationality but fucking hell it's on would Goku take Superman in a fight levels of thought. And some conservatives still keep repeating it with full sincerity.

This guy is really dismissing concerns about Joanne's fascism:

Some others point out she's doing video game violence causes violence and she replies:

This guy protests too much maybe:

I clicked towards the end and this chudette is explaining how China blocked fanfiction sites because people wrote fan fiction about two real life Chinese male actors impregnating each other.
