It also made me wonder if the whole "we like to put celebrities on a pedestal so we can tear them down!" meme was really always just a tribal leftist / liberal thing pushed by the bad actors who run the media. The Right will turn on leaders over disagreements on principle or if they feel betrayed, but never because that's just the way the wind is blowing. Nobody on the actual right says "oh, Trump isn't polling well with suburban moms. Let's swap him out." even if it were possible.
Well it's nice he could get The Elon's attention, but that 1984 fellow is gonna be persona non grata'd next.
The quote is interesting. Out of context I suppose it could be seen as a call to violence today, but at the time before the Holocaust story became dominant, all that was being discussed publicly was extracting Judaism from Germany.
Also a huge difference between "let's try not to offend anyone, we want to sell as much as possible" vs. "we must offend bigoted far-right American misogynists and be a force for change in the world, sales be damned" which is NoA today.
Don't worry, in 900 years her descendants will be the Proud Black Women at NASA who take us to the moon, even as the White man tries to stop them.
One of these things is not like the others.
Yes, Stan Lee. You can't control what happens after your death. Don't worry about it.
What moron downvoted this? It's an absolute tautology that Dom abused. "once outside of that religion, their behavior may return to normal" Yes then they aren't Muslims so the defense doesn't make sense.
That's what they always do, take a normie milquetoast position and make it scary far right. Helps keep people on the reservation and pushes the Overton window. Meanwhile actual based or "extreme" voices are completely marginalized and ignored so nobody even thinks to emulate them.
They offend all the time, intentionally even.
On the one hand I do agree with the OP's framing of the problem.
On the other hand - ZERO SEATS! ZERO SEATS!
Lowkey I want the dems to get together and bring 25th amendment claims against him to Congress... and then all republicans to vote no and reject the claims. "He's just as fit as the day you people elected him!"
Obama's was the most self-serving. "Yeah yeah, Jews rock... now how can we make this about me?"
You'd be surprised the amount of people on the left that had no idea it had gotten this bad. They knew Biden wasn't all that there, but...
Don't believe them. That's them hedging. They knew.
His account was suspended. Somehow the embedded version still plays for me.
Why not use an accurate inverse analogy?
If Eric Trump had dead children in his basement, would that make you sway your positions on Trump, or Republicans generally?
Though as the other guy points out Eric and Hunter are not exactly good comparisons either.
It's like they trusted the ratio of blacks to whites on American television commercials.
Funny, but we know this stuff is completely intentional as a method of social conditioning. (and for ESG monies)
One thing I notice on the Japanese channels talking about it (overshadowed by Yasuke in the American coverage) is just how shitty and ahistorical the game is. Clearly made by diversity writers who then outsourced their work to some pajeets. Chinese lanterns and decorations, ugly people, torii's in random locations, and lots of other anachronistic items and events. Of course the Jap channels talk about Yasuke but also how generically poor the gameplay in his segments is. He isn't an assassin so nothing you do with him even feels like an Assassin's Creed game. It was clearly going to be a game about the female shinobi but then they shoehorned in the black circus act because DEI.
AJ didn't point any ire at anyone. He just had a guest on making a suggestion - no crazier than any of the other satanic conspiracy theories they often bring up - which was eventually retracted.
Even if he had, nobody would expect such an unprecedented fine for that. That's like saying "well if Trump didn't want to get impeached I guess he shouldn't have made that phone call."
I have no idea if it's gotten worse (generally avoid modern AAA games) but I imagine most of us are right there with you. In fact the "skip intro movies and splash screens" patch is the second thing I download for any new game.
Literally never heard that argument. Where do people say they are feds "because they wear masks"?
This. In fact any bans/censoring should be required to come with a public statement of the reason, opening the company up to those charges if untrue.
X shouldn't further that kind of content moderation
I can appreciate this stance at least.
"Nobody drives in New York City. There's too much traffic."
That's fair, I forgot that part while writing. Also good of her to highlight Islamists instead of the old White Supremes chestnut.
good lord how many alts does it have?
Again? Whatever. Fuck you and I'll see you tomorrow.
