When it stops working

Unfortunately, with a dying mainstream media clinging to Covid like a drowning man hanging on to a life-raft, egged on by a compliant government that's all too happy to be handed excuse after excuse to roll back inconvenient civil liberties, this new method of ruling by fear seems set to be the default for a while to come.

It's worth noting that for the experiment on thee beagle pups, one of the objections to that experiment was that it'd didn't - couldn't - provide any useful data that was relevant to the stated purpose of the experiment.

So some dude but puppies in such distress that they had to sever their vocal chords for literally no reason

Since the 2016 election she has focused her professional efforts exclusively on investigating and exposing our country’s insecure computerized elections.

I don't suppose she's had anything to say about an election about, oh, 14 months ago? Anything at all?

To be fair, it's a step up from what I had assumed to be the operative position, namely that fact-checkers are permitted to use their own head-canon to debunk peer-reviewed research.

With a bit of luck, there's a middle path, rolling back the most idiotic excesses of the Social Justice crew. I have no doubt that they will attempt violence and bloodshed as a result, but they've never had great success operating anywhere where the government doesn't allow them free reign.

in the next 10-15 years

Unfortunately, I hope it doesn't.

The only way I see this changing in that short a period - bearing in mind that this infiltration has been going on since roughly the 1930s - would involve significant violence and bloodshed.

Well, obviously, that's only my impression of them, but you tell me - that sounds pretty accurate, doesn't it?

And of course they don't want to think about their moral system. Their moral system is a cult and is designed to shut down independent thought in order to retain compliance.

Do you think SJW types would wrtie something like that? A victim becoming the aggressor, then realising he is a monster and changing his ways? No. Their pet victim characters can never do anything wrong, their actions are always justified.

I don't think SJW authors are capable of the depth of thinking necessary. Either they're good, in which case, why did the author portray them making a mistake - everybody knows good people don't make mistakes, because good people follow SJW ideology, which is at all times flawless - or they're bad, in which case why do they get a redemption? There is no redemption in the SocJus pantheon, merely somebody you've not completely destroyed yet because they retain some utility.

Heh, that last bit of the article:

Look, manga is successful and isn't being held to our standards!

So close to a bit of self-realisation, then takes an abrupt left turn

That's problematic and they should be held to account!

Or "Why SJWs want to be hegemonic totalitarians, part 94."

Can I just say that you just finished calling me overly autistic, and then launched into that.

Not that you're wrong, mind. Thanks for the thorough breakdown of the article. If this is indicative of where Disney wants to go with Star Wars, it seems they want to bury the Lucas-era stuff and subsist on only Disney.

One can only hope that this decision causes Disney's profit forecast expectations to be thoroughly subverted.

youre both being autistic

Looks up at forum header image

... and your point is ... ?

Agree on the rest of it, though I am starting to wonder if this author is secretly based and riffing off the "identifies as an attack helicopter" meme.

True enough, but it was Disney that allowed that shitshow to happen, so that's the rules they have chosen to operate under. Not my fault they're idiots!

Basically, the Y-Wing is a fighter-bomber, whereas the B-wing is a pure bomber.

... you're not wrong, and here's a thought ... do they even use the same ammo?

There's other problems as well, of course. Picture this: Alphabet Squadron is conducting a heavy strike mission, only the Empire remnants are evil, not stupid, so focus all of their attack on the B-Wing ... once it's gone, Alphabet Squadron has to turn around and head home because between a Y-Wing and whatever else is left, they simply don't have the ordnance to neutralise their target.

Ohh, I heard about this one.

It's utterly, utterly retarded.

Not only for the speed and manoeuvrability points you mentioned, even something as simple as range- can all five starfighters maintain the same operational range, or is your heavy, long-range B-Wing hobbled by only being able to deploy as far as the short-range gunfighter of the A-Wing?

To reference real life: US operations in Vietnam tended towards composite wings of Hueys to allow some tactical flexibility, but even there you're talking about mixing up two types - troop transport and gunship - and for specific purposes - providing heavy fire support from the moment the troops touched ground.

He's not asking it to be banned from public libraries. He's asked it to be removed from a school curriculum.

There's a reason that Debbie Does Dallas isn't on school curricula either. It's not appropriate.

If there had been much of a chance of keeping it going, Netflix would have announced this towards the end of the run, to try and gin up some more viewership. Netflix Bebop dropped off a cliff so hard that they're not even waiting for end-of-season.

TL:DR - it's dead, Jim.

That is why it is picked. Women can say that they're doing their part, it's those men ruining the Earth-Mother.

On with the climate concentration camps!

Rent Free...

You're quite correct. It was foolish to expect a Democrat administration to apply justice evenhandedly - in DNC hands, courts are no more than another weapon.

The problem is that for any Critical Theory types, it's necessary to finish the destruction before they can even start assessing how to rebuild.

They've got to smash all of civilisation down to bedrock ... how many people would be left alive by that point, and why would a gender studies major being among their number?

As far as I understand it, apart from this brief experiment we're all living through, slavery has been the rule, not the exception.

Pretty funny, when you think about it. Us Brits turned William the Conqueror's new-kingdom cash-grab into a moral crusade...

Taking bets how long it is before this is required?

The ultimate business model - mandate that your unwilling "customers" sell you their body for pennies on the dollar so that you can rent it back to them...

While we're on the "Journalists are lying fucks" bit ... when was that photo taken? I used to work in the City and if you're about first thing on a Sunday - ten years ago or more - it could have passed for this shot!

I have genuinely walked down one of the busier streets in London entirely alone because of the time of day and the day of the week.

Good lord, the only thing he's missing is the permanent soy face.
