I have little to no faith in the Western 'justice' system. But my objection is the automatic assumption that the verdict that he did not like, proves that this particular trial was unfair.
100% agree.
I don't believe that the ideologies they espouse bear any relationship to what they actually believe. They are a tool for power, not something they actually believe in...
I get what your saying, but I don't think it's as intentional as "a tool for power". I think the mentality here is much more scatter-shot and revolves first and foremost around the individual's image of themselves as "one of the good ones".
I believe this is why you see these ideologues (for lack of a better term) jumping so sporadically from protecting 'X' at all costs, to protecting 'Y' at all costs, to protecting 'Z', etc.
It all seems so much like an American high-school movie, where everything ultimately comes down to the moods and machinations of some mean-girl clique. Except instead of douche-bag teenagers it's judges, police, politicians, and journalists.
While I don't think a movie star losing a deformation case to a tabloid warrants comparisons to the 3rd Reich (night of the long vaginas incoming), the western justice system has become extremely ideologically driven.
One of the strongest veins in that ideological drive is feminism, and (as articles like this demonstrate) feminists regard doubt being cast on a woman's accusations of abuse as fundamentally "harmful". Not just to the woman in question, but to women as a whole.
I have no trouble at all believing that the UK judge factored the harm that such a verdict would cause the metoo movement into their decision.
I didn't think I was capable of getting angry at the BBC anymore. I really thought I had reached the point where no depth they stoop to would surprise me.
They deny that they did anything, they deny they're the real perpetrator, and they attack the credibility of the individual calling out the abuse, and then reverse the rolls of the victim and the offender.
I was wrong.
The trick is to turn the voice volume to zero and make up your old dialog.
In my head, I was shooting that guy in the dick because he had been sentenced to an undickening for referring to the girl-power-ghostbusters as "creative".
Truly majestic. Like a wilder-beast.

Yeah... you and I have very different definitions of what it means to be a man. We should just agree to disagree.
Begrudging the resources required to maintain a family is childish and unproductive.
I don't have a problem with supporting a family, as long as I'm a part of that family. In the West today, if the mother of my children decides, at any moment, that she would prefer it if I kept supporting the family, but was no longer a part of the family, then that's what is going to happen.
If you want to roll those dice, then go ahead, and good luck to you. But it's absurd (and frankly, fucking obtuse) for anyone to look at this deal (marriage/family) and say "if a man doesn't want to be put in this position, he's being childish and unproductive".
Edit: It's like calling a man a coward because he won't step on a bear trap.
It really bothers them that Rittenhouse stood-up to their heroes.
Right, and your question has two controversial assumptions in it. One is really more of an accusation than an assumption; "You can't enjoy the gameplay if you don't enjoy the story". The second is that, even though the story is bad, that the gameplay is good, which is usually not the case.
To the the first assumption; if the gameplay is good enough, we can ignore the story - up to a point. Borderlands 3 is a good example of this. The story was so woke, and badly written, as to be intolerable. However, in terms of gameplay this was the best Borderlands yet. So, we tune out the story as much as possible (I actually ended up playing the last third of the game on mute because I couldn't take the writing anymore). But, even though I can still enjoy some of the gameplay aspects of this, having to sit though awful cut scenes, that I can't skip, and don't want to watch because; I get it gearbox, you loooooooves whamahn, is annoying to the point that I'm going to talk about it, when I talk about the game.
Your second assumption; that the gameplay is enjoyable even though the writing is terrible, bothers me more. The Last of Us 2 is a good example of the problem with this assumption. Here, the story is really the driving factor in the gameplay. The gameplay itself really isn't anything special, not particularly good, not particularly bad, certainly not particularly interesting. Here, the writing being so absurdly bad (and I mean actually incompetent), completely ruins the game as a whole.
It's rare to find a game where the gameplay and story are separate from one another to the point that one being egregiously badly implemented has no bearing on the other.
Which bring me to my final point; why are you being treated like an asshole in this thread. Well, for one, your "question" is a loaded one. It's loaded in that it contains controversial assumption, it's loaded in that it puts words into our mouths "I'm too bigoted and stupid to enjoy good, clean, gameplay, just because the thing is badly written". Finally, it's loaded in that you are making it our fault that we can't enjoy the game, as though there were something absurd about not enjoying a thing because it is badly made. You are being treated like an asshole because you asked a real asshole of a question. And it's the kind of question that we have become very familiar with over the years "Why do y'all hate whamahn?", "Why are y'all so toxic?", "Why can't y'all do better?". They really aren't questions, so much as passive aggressive statements. Anyway, there's your answer, and fuck you for asking.
Most women are aware that they can get away with saying and doing shit that, if done by a man, would be taken very seriously. But some women come to genuinely believe the reason they can get in a guys face, push him, etc., is that he is afraid of them, because they are so tough.
You ever see that (I think) facebook post of some 4'9, 200lb. feminist, saying something about how she was wearing her "man stomping boots" and how she was going to go out and stomp some man-scum with em'. This is a woman who has never once in her life been held accountable for the threats she makes. She has never had to control herself, because there were never any consequences for not doing so.
These limp-wristed, antifa man-boys are exactly the same. There's a generations worth of men out there who genuinely believe that they are real fucking tough, simply because standing up to them is now more trouble than it's worth. Not for one moment does it occur to them that their target might fight back, and if they did, well, he'd just punch them. He's seen people punch before, he knows how to do it, he imagines doing it all the time. He's so fucking tough. Right up to the moment someone stands up to him.
TL:DR: Ignore me, I'm drunk
David Attenborough voice:
See now, as the twitter feminist simultaneously recoils and lashes out. Her carefully constricted nest has been desecrated by a competing species. This nest, comprised of self-importance, thoughtlessness and a truly awe-inspiring level of dishonesty, will take many months to rebuild. But, with the help of her fellow feminists, and of course her loyal simps, she'll be preening and complaining about breastesess again in no time. I'm David Attenborough, and I for one, love me some titty armor.
I always know she was a piece of shit but fucking jeez lady how shittier can you ge- oh yeah white
Charming
Shells when?
That's funny, I always loved him on Who's Line, but then I loved Colin Mochrie too, so...
Yeah, Mangum was another surprise for me, and a shitty one. It's all so shitty; seeing all these guys I grew up watching being like this.
It never occurred to me, watching Malcolm in the Middle, that one day I'd get to see Stevie's dad fighting the GoOd fiGhT against the white devil.
Well, that's what you get for... having conceptual sex... with an adult woman... I guess... fuck.
nope.
I already knew LaMarr was an asshole, but Wayne Brady fucking hurts man.
Pretty sure it's just an ad. Though I can't find much information on it outside the IMDB page.
There's a facebook page with a bunch of pictures of a white police officer zombie making his way down a hallway, and the following post at the top:
White Racist Zombies is a horror/comedy project from the minds of Wayne Brady, Aaron Shure, and Jonathan Mangum. A short trailer is shot and the script is being tweaked to fit within the budget of a low-budget film. Check back here for more updates.
That was June 10th 2019. So fuck knows how far along in development it is now.
I've never heard a Sowell line I didn't like.
