I joined it because “Midwest”. To be frank though. Local posts are in the 10s a day. I never see them unless i select local only. I’ve seen a fair bit more left position represented than would seem representative of the Midwest. Not that it’s a bad thing. There is an instance pinned post about the administration standing with the protesters. Which again isn’t specifically a bad thing. (I’ll look at the discourse inside later) I see screechy hyperbolic posts about “genocide Joe” getting generally down voted. So I can’t make any real comments about any strong vibe. But no. Not all of us are coping with severe head trauma like archcomrade.

I think it’s safe to say he may just be loud, obnoxious, and perceived as being more representative than they are. Due to how inactive the rest of us seem to be.

oddsbodkins,

Military police? Absolutely. China’s police are in service to the state much like military police. It definitely tracks.

oddsbodkins,

Hoping that it’s just gang violence. Worried that it’s conservative violence. Just sort of fucked either way.

oddsbodkins,

Training is training regardless of how you receive it isn’t it? Perhaps you should take your own advice.

oddsbodkins,

I think you made a non-sequitur. They never said anything about that. Simply pointed out how all jobs require knowledge and training of some sort to be good at them. Perhaps in the future you should debate in good faith and not create straw men to push a false narrative.

oddsbodkins,

Said someone who’s never mastered it. I have a college education myself. And work in IT. I’m just not that much of an egoist to disrespect people like you do. I’ve met truly skilled and great people doing menial jobs and not being compensated enough. You wouldn’t last a week at most of these jobs. You feel you could master in an afternoon. Simply because you’d be dealing with people like yourself.

oddsbodkins,

Germans making excuses to hate innocent people. You making excuses to hate innocent people. How is a different?

oddsbodkins,

She has shown a number of times and in a number of ways that she is incompetent. Forgetting or for going swearing in the jury etc etc etc. But she’s got the position for life.

oddsbodkins,

What do communists and socialists have to apologize for? To be clear I know what you are hamfistedly referring to. But it isn’t “communists” or “socialists”.

oddsbodkins,

The same bill bar that said the Iran Contra investigation was illegitimate and people involved were being treated unfairly/ Reagan’s attorney general? That Bill Barr? Of course In fairness he never did turn stoolie on that crook Reagan. So I guess this is progress? That or it’s just exponentially that much worse.

oddsbodkins,

The ongoing litigation against the company begs to differ. Also didn’t Musk step down as CEO of Twitter a while back? It seems his tangential bullshit has quite an impact. I’ll be honest I think the people actually working at Tesla do their best to try to moderate his unadulterated fuck ups. But they’re not safe from it and neither is anyone else who does business with them.

oddsbodkins,

It’s because as a solid minority. That is often hated in the places they once had jurisdiction for good reason. You generally don’t get the chance. Or if you did, it would close you off in a tiny little Echo chamber that’s already far too strong. And I say this as someone who is supportive and open towards communism and abolishing Concepts such as private property and replacing with personal property. But I am sanctially against ml communism.

I absolutely think there can be a discussion about whether or not Vladimir Lenin’s Legacy on the whole was neutral. He definitely did some good things for russia. Though those same things were happening around the world regardless. So it is impossible to say that they wouldn’t have happened without him. But it is possible to say absolutely that a lot of death destruction and brutality were enabled by him. And his ideology single-handedly setback discussions of all left-wing Economic Development for a century or so. Those defending Stalin Mao or even Xi today. Well I don’t have anything diplomatic to say about them.

oddsbodkins,

And that’s irrelevant. Racism is racism no matter who does it, and defending racism is still defending racism.

oddsbodkins,

And that’s irrelevant. Racism is racism no matter who does it, and defending racism is still defending racism.

Racism is racism yes. But what you’re pointing out isn’t racism. You are accusing him of racism for pointing out the long-term impacts of The United States long and continuing history of racism. That is a completely different thing. And it is pretty disingenuous of you to imply otherwise. Further if he is part of the group you’re accusing her of being bigoted against. That is a pretty silly thing to imply. And I have to say you are in wrong here.

Why don’t you first explain what white people specifically have to do with the media chasing ratings. Would black-controlled media not chase ratings just as aggressively? Are non-white people more moral on average?

He already did. Things like slavery, segregation, redlining, and discrimination much of which does still get seen today. Explains it handily.

And then why did you go on to throw up all those strawmen? None of that was anything he ever implied accused or even addressed. It simply doesn’t have anything to do with the discussion. Those are all non sequiter.

Perhaps you should answer your own question. Why is it that white males are so overrepresented in such positions. I think that’s the much more pertinent and interesting question to ask. And you have not answered that.

oddsbodkins,

It’s not even remotely racist. One cannot be racist by simply pointing out an actual verifiable fact. Beyond a lion’s share of CEOs and owners are disproportionately white. Especially when it comes to media companies. And that isn’t a racist thing to say that simply an observation. To say that only white people should be CEOs would be raised. You are grasping at straws. Basically seeking and excuse to be outraged. Would it be racist for me to say that most slaves in America were and still are black? Because it’s a verifiable fact. Not all were but most were and still are.

I agree you never actually ask the question. Though if you were ever to be honest you would have asked it of yourself. But you aren’t being honest. You are just going around the screaming racism at facts you don’t like. Quite childish.

oddsbodkins,

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz still exists and is a Democrat. And I think another thing people have issue with. Is that while it’s understandable that Sinema and Manchin exist and are horrible. Democrats seem to most often use that as an excuse to not even try. Republicans try and thankfully often fail to do horrible things. But they try. It’s one thing to say you support X. It’s another to be seen trying to support it. Democrats talk the talk, but most can’t walk.

oddsbodkins,

No it isn’t. Naturel conservationism is about conserving nature political social conservationism often generally just shortened to conservatism is about conserving and preserving political and social power. Nothing more nothing less they are identical just about different topics.

oddsbodkins,

While that’s true most people are unaware of the places actual role. In the United States at least in the police are not there to protect or serve you. They are there to protect the property of the wealthy. And not much else. They can and will kill you with impunity if afforded the chance. We need to completely reform the police. Because the problems with them stem far far deeper than their simple gang behavior. And that is a sad truth. The police are off the little more than a state or municipality in sanctioned gang.

oddsbodkins,

It’s a definitive classic slice of the '90s. Throw in some veruca salt to go with it. Also as we are approaching the 30th anniversary of the release they’ve been somewhat active again.
