Its vague. Most people do not click on every post, so you need to have a title that captures peoples attention

This. If I dont like what one side is doing, they assume that I must believe in all the worst views that exist on the other side.

Its ridiculous

The center-left and center-right have far more in common with each other than they do with the commies, nazis, wokies etc that exist on their side. But the left/right paradigm forces us to fear the worst elements of the other side and assume anyone who votes that way are complicit in it.

"Peoples front of Judea" vs "Judean People's Front". Obviously two totally different things!

The point is someone in customer service isn't authorized to speak for the company, no matter what the question at hand is. I'm sure there's no exception in the training material for pedophilia.

All they are allowed to do is copy/paste or repeat the approved text

No. You are assuming I'm talking qbout post-hippie liberalism or something. I was never on board with that. I'm talking about philosophical liberalism that supports concepts such as free speech, rule of law, etc.

Modern conservatism has that kind of liberalism as its basis

what it means to be left/right changes over time. When I was a kid, the Dems were clearly the party of the working class. Nobody disputed that, Republicans were the party of the rich

Reagan came in and had a new definition of conservatism, and started the process of attracting working class voters. Nowadays, the Dems despise the working class and have replaced them with the intersectional coalition, they are now clearly the party of the coastal elite.

In light of this, it only seems natural that people change their political affiliations. For a lot of people, they haven't changed, their party did

Yeah, before Damore, I thought this intersectionality was mostly an online phenomenon. Then the revelations that came out around Damore showed that Google was completely in the grips of this ideology, and probably other big tech companies too.

the entire history of the human race is cultures learning and adapting things from other cultures.

Like everything else the modern left pushes, the concept of cultural appropriation s designed to put a stranglehold on western civilization, especially when they don't seem to care about when others culturally appropriate from us.

You aren't going to get anything out of customer support. They aren't allowed to express their personal opinion to customers, all they can do is copy/paste the company line

I think its time to reclaim the word "liberalism".

They are not liberals any more, not by any measure. A lot of them don't even have a clear ideology other than be against anything conservatives or Trump are for and be for whatever they are against, even if it contradicts the position they held last week.

Pre-orders.

Naughty Dog is held in cult-like esteem among many Playstation fans, they waited for this game, they weren't going to let any bad publicity sway them.

It was always going to sell extremely well no matter what.

What would be more interesting is to see what percentage of the people who bought it disliked it after playing

the IRL podcast is the only thing worth watching of Tim's content because the discussion is interesting.

The standalone videos are three times longer than they need to be. I know they are probably padded out to get better treatment from the YT algorithm, but they are hard to sit through, especially when they are padded out with the same anecdotes over and over
