The level of illiteracy concerning nuclear power in the anglosphere infuriates me to no end.
I try my best to empathize with other people, but when your immediate response is to recoil in disgust at the mere mention of words like "radiation" or "chemical," I seriously question your usefulness to the continuation of the human endeavor.
How did public schools fail this hard?
Me too. Personally I think it was just the WWI bandage coming off for the most part, but do tell Assassin.
Hegel was before it all went to shit (right around when WWII ended, oddly enough). Don't lump him in with postmodern faggotry.
He does have his critics though - Schopenhauer despised him.
I agree with your description of Hegelian synthesis, but I think one thing you forgot to point out is that the hard-left is skipping the final "synthesis" step in all your examples. In fact their moral system remains just as dualistic as the old religion it replaced.
Take for example their favorite morality play: "Love vs Hate," which they installed in place of "Good vs Evil."
Sure, some things like traditional family values and teaching toddlers about sex toys got shuffled to the opposite side, but it's fundamentally the same structure. They just sort everything into love or hate, nothing "synthetic" about it.
On this topic I always go back to this uncannily prophetic scene from Donnie Darko (2001). It's such a bullseye, I can hardly believe it.
Obviously the analogy I'm making here is teacher as the looming blight of dualistic Libstianity and recalcitrant student as Hegel arguing for more nuanced (synthetic) reasoning.
The only slight miss was contraposing "Fear" instead of "Hate" against "Love." But then again, Libstians never miss an opportunity to label someone a "-phobe," so there certainly is still the projection of fear there.
Really great movie if you haven't seen it. It was edgy and leftist in its day, but I'm sure many would call it "far-right propaganda" now.
Lol.
Now the question is: did anyone in the ad department realize that this "reinforces the bun binary" by only depicting top-buns and bottom-buns??
WHY ARE THEY ERASING THE EXISTENCE OF NON-BINARY BUNS?!!?!1!
It was another little fun moment. I'm no stranger to the deep-fried distortion, believe you me. I am solely responsible for taking care of my hearing.
I plan on going completely deaf in my old age so I don't have to listen to whatever stupid bullshit they're cooking up now. Then I drop my last two dollars on a Costco hotdog that just vexes my poor old heart and sends me over the edge to Nirvana.
It's all gravy dude, haven't had a good rolling in a while.
Hey man, you have fun if they're your thing.
Dang, even at our age you can still stumble upon a new banger every now and then.
I would generally agree with you about the best decade thing, but I do hope you've been tuned in to to the revival of the '80s sound this past decade or so in certain corners of the scene. It's not just "Stranger Things."
I was blasting headphones so thanks for that, heh.
Honestly what puts me off is the way the dude undulates his voice like he's about to have a seizure or something. Other than that it's just standard goofy '80s shit, which I usually really love.
Ever seen the MV for Peter Gabriel's Big Time? That's more my speed for '80s nostalgia.
This post was a little thing that I enjoyed. Had a chuckle, so thanks for that.
But I have to say...I can't fucking stand the B-52s
oh...my...GOD...
I'M....I'M....TROOOOOONSLATING~~~~~~~~~
Also a side note since you mentioned Groucho - I think you should look into the Algonquin round table
Better caricature here. Leave it to wiki to delete this off the main page...
My favorite is Dorothy Parker on the left with the shit-eating grin. A shit-poster if ever there was. Coined the phrase "What fresh hell is this??"
It seems that was part of the apocryphal encounter with Alexander
Voltaire roasting Leibniz with Candide is epic shitpost history.
Diogenes lived in a barrel in the agora. He was unimpressed when Alexander the Great sought him out.
He was known for public urination, masturbation, etc...
When Plato gave "a featherless biped" as a definition for a human being, Diogenes brought him a plucked chicken.
As one of our resident weebs here I recommend you keep going in the fashion you described, seeking out what you like and avoiding what you don't.
Dag certainly has a point in that once the stuff hits western audiences, troons troon it up. But you are also correct in that most of the "goofy/ecchi" stuff originates from Japanese culture. It's not simply a product of western wokeness. This YT comment is a prime example - they're going for another GG style infiltration.
Edit: r/animesuggest is a cut above most places in terms of keeping it about recommendations rather than "ships," "waifus," erotic fanfics, etc...
Nothing says Fuck You Daddy quite like the spiderweb tats around the nips.
still have a subreddit is how I would put it.
That's apparently the one place the admins weren't cold-hearted enough to ban.
I think in the coming years we will see that.
You can go see it right now on r/detrans.
And you probably will feel horrible for those people if you do.
Story time:
I was at an anime con back in the '00s. Spike Spencer (Shinji dub VA) was one of the guests.
He was generally annoying and disrespectful to fans the entire time, but then he proceeds to get up on stage and say something like "thanks to you guys I get to party with Van Halen, so..."
The words "cringe" and "weeb" were still a few years off at that point, but imagine a room full of thousands of cringing weebs. Not a single clap - just a low murmur with that "what an asshole" air about it.
at least he found his niche doing this Poe's Law routine.
They say Richard Feynman was unironically confused as to why women wouldn't transparently trade sex for drinks, yet he still had a few things to contribute.
Shit...you're right...
