The thing is, him existing as a candidate does a ton of harm to the establishment. A ton. Look, quite simply, the opposition is not composed of impressive people. They don't have the brains to run a candidate like Vivek, nor the capability to do so without instantly calling the plan racist and...

Vivek very much doesn't look like an establishment shill. Him existing and calling out the media constantly further hurts their credibility, and talking about the Great Replacement theory as a minority massively widens the Overton window. As for DeSantis, he has absolutely no control over his...

Admittedly, this isn't dumb by Trump. Vivek's voters would nearly 100% support trump if Vivek left. He's absolutely making Trump less viable as a candidate, it's just that Trump is so incredibly likely to win that the hit doesn't matter much.

Why do you think I'm warning about it? The last time the GOP had cultural power you guys got the Patriot act and the War on Iraq out of it. Unless Vivek gets in charge, I expect similar stupidity. He's the only one who knows you need to destroy the institutions of the deep state.

That's the thing, the idea being forced into secret is the victory. Every awful thing exists in secret. It being condemned in public is about the most that can be asked, and that crushes the idea in secret as well, as it doesn't propagate well through the generations. Ideas survive through...

Not really. It's about social control more. Basically peer pressure. It's something that can be done once cultural dominance is attained as a way for an idea to maintain cultural dominance. It's not a method to win, btw. It's a strategy to secure a win. Think of it like taking a knee to run out...

This was my exact point. Basically, not punishing defeated enemies isn't something you do because they don't deserve punishment (they frequently do), but because it cements a win. Meanwhile, deciding to go and punish enemies can cause one to lose victories. The guilty going unpunished is...

Bad people facing consequences is a rarity, but things getting better isn't a rarity. Usually a victory comes with an effective forgiveness to stop future fighting. By letting everyone pretend they were all on the good side, it kills the bad idea instead of allowing the idea war to continue...

Serbia did much less than what some are proposing Israel do. There was something like 25-33k deaths in total using the widest definition. What is being proposed is over 2 million. And China is one the Media likes to forget, and also didn't have millions killed. TBC, what's being proposed isn't...

Not live broadcast genocide with media backing. That lasts forever. The Gazans are very iffy on their support of Hamas. Also, collective punishment is the greatest evil, and it's how Hamas justifies itself.

You don't understand what a death cult is. Hamas will happily choose oblivion, die with all of the Palestinians in Gaza, and cause so much International outrage that Israel will eventually fall. The only way Israel wins is by focusing on Hamas, not all Gazans.

Oh, was Posobiac the Journalism Cringe? Whoops. *whoosh*

That's in no way what he found, and a shit summary. https://reason.com/volokh/2021/04/05/justice-thomas-suggests-rethinking-of-legal-status-of-digital-platforms/

They're the reverse of each other. Media cringe is supposed to be when the media/journalism is cringe, hate news is decently reported news about something that makes your blood boil.

Maybe it's own thread, or maybe it was covered in 5 minutes of hate news?

This isn't media/journalism cringe though. Journalism did a decent job here showing that the politician is shit.

No, all you need is to pack the courts (which is constitutional) and then create a new state out of DC by calling it something different.

Some academics and theorists might have felt this way, but the reality is the other way around. LGBT seems like the last actual fight for equal rights to many. And then it won. Now people who have built lives on activism (on a number of causes) are out of a job if they are honest. Before, when...

I know. Shocking, all of progress doesn't come from the left or the right. But it does tend to come from the future when we look at America, hence my wondering what other stupidity you wanted from the past when you cry that things aren't the same as they used to be: Oh, and while I'm here, fuck...

The basic argument is that giving out a compromise means they are back for more compromises 5 years later. The only way to stop it is a clear bright line. And no statues coming down is the clearest one possible. But when you post, you usually aren't arguing tactics, you are arguing morality...
