Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

[POOHEAD189]

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

So simply stating that it's a predictable newsweek then? Not sure what's problematic about that. (Or how it exactly relates to right or wrong. But, we can discuss those things tomorrow, when I'm awake. :P)

You know what they say. No news is good news. ;3

@SleepingSilence

1. All of those are bad news
2. I already said why it was problematic in my first post, meaning there is nothing to really discuss about those things.
3. 'Right' and 'wrong' pertains to us users disagreeing with one another, and there'd be no disagreement up there other than Harbinger and perhaps MDK disagreeing that Trump's statements on Haiti were either real or distasteful.

[Normie]

Yeah the news has gotten so retarded that only SJWs and normies would disagree with you on any of it, and their type don't seem to come round these parts.

[Silver Carrot]

@Normie

As a kind of SJW, I can confirm that not even we disagree.

[Dolerman]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I think you do enjoy it, why else would you engage me with it?

If you think someone isnt worth responding to, the best course of action would probably be not to respond to them. You are above all this after all?

[Dolerman]

Starterpacks in themselves aren't meant to be funny, they are meant to make you feel analyzed and exposed. Your inevitable butt-hurt rant about how 'those people don't really exist' or 'this isn't accurate', THAT is where the humor comes in.

[Dion]

dude what

memes are supposed to make you feel analyzed and exposed

[Silver Carrot]

@Dynamo Frokane

Theyr'e funny if they aren't about you. if they are about you, I often have to admit 'where is the lie? I'm mad, but where is the lie?'

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Why I mentioned you specifically in this case should be overtly transparent, @Dynamo Frokane. It is your topic after all, hence the related comment about "leadership", and I freely admitted my stance on the current issue in the same breath. Seems pretty clear motive wise there and fits the trend, but I suppose I would know nothing of that in my case. But I digress to something more interesting.

As far as the proposed Haiti commentary goes, I do not see an issue with the commentary even if it were said. The information is freely available, but Haiti, and several African nations said to be what he was speaking about, among others are absolutely abysmal places to live, rife with poverty, crime, famine, and disease. Even if he had said the "shithole" comment, which there is more evidence to suggest not, supposedly a recording as well, not much reason to even care.

As for the way of it being said? Distasteful. But the truth isn't always kind or pleasant, making no difference to me in the end.

@POOHEAD189

I wasn't implying snowstorms or the things mentioned were good. :P That idiom refers to the idea that if nothing is heard, you assume nothing is wrong. The news loves the dramatic, so if a Florida man drowned a puppy, you'd best believe the news would be covering it.

I guess I didn't see your first post's explanation. (could of thrown me a bone and quoted it if that's the case.) But you also can't say that's all that's happened in current events, there's plenty of other topics. Though what you stated, was you aren't sure if anything covered in the news anymore had any nuances. Everything the news talks about now, is stuff that -should- be clear good vs bad. And that itself is a problem? (at least that's how the statement you made could be interpreted.)

But the news media never portrayed stories with a gray lens, unless it was actively covering up evil acts. And they've had the same problems of repeating stories, covering a bunch of useless fluff or heavy dramatization. So I don't know what's changed about the news, aside from they're now taken less seriously. Which considering how often their outright wrong. I don't get the problematic angle.

The thing just mentioned about SJW's. My question, is everyone (in the political activist sphere that used to discuss the problems of SJW culture) is now trying to seemingly go a route of purely respectful discourse and disregarding mocking. Basically downplaying how destructive and cancerous they've been as a whole. Like the whole movement has been swept up and disappeared. Or seem to think outrage culture, is no longer a relevant problem. Has all the drama really died down?

Why did H&M have a protester riot group destroy and loot all their stores in South Africa? Other than identity politics?

Doesn't really seem like the "outrage" problem will go away anytime soon...

[IceHeart]

So apparently this is a thing. Recent push for the 51st state of New California. Fun stuff. New California Declares Independence From Rest Of State.

[Normie]

The blue and non-white parts of Commiefornia can secede and they'd be doing the rest of us a favor.

On the Trump shithole comments, yeah, spare me the moral hysterics (not that anyone here seems to be bothered by them, but regarding normies who are triggered). Just more of the standard "Trump is evil because he doesn't use politically correct language" manufactured outrage.

[Dolerman]

@Odin yeah cause all memes are the same amirite?

@Silver Carrot I always found reactions to starterpacks a lot more funny than the original starterpacks. But I sorta overdosed on them a long time ago.

Why I mentioned you specifically in this case should be overtly transparent, @Dynamo Frokane. It is your topic after all,

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

except that it isn't, I wasn't the person who brought it up. But with your selective acknowledgement I cant really expect a fair assessment can I?

Looking forward to your next response to me, even though you are far above and/or don't have the time to be responding to the likes of me.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

It matters nothing that if you were the one who brought it up or not, as you seem to be reading too much into it as the statement itself addresses, but I suppose we have little to discuss if you are going to be passive-aggressive about everything and utterly disbelieve all I say simply because of whatever has possessed you, now don't we, @Dynamo Frokane? Do prattle on though with what you consider "selective acknowledgment" - it isn't as though I have told you before openly in public format, I am not your mercenary to fight your battles for you or anyone else here, and I say what I wish to who I wish for whatever reason I wish. I have nothing to further add, doing so with be a complete waste of time, so take it as you will; I am sure you were already confident of your answer no matter what I said in return.

Now for something more on the record, as much as I doubt California would split, we would do well to have the state of New California, cut off from the rest. Not that I wish it to fall into the ocean or the like, but as with just about any major city, let alone the sprawl California is there, they are a metaphorical cesspool of failed progressive ideals, albeit not as bad as say Chicago or Detroit, but on a much grander scale in contrast and a very costly one to itself as an entire state. Do I think for a moment that "New California" will stick? No, I doubt that, but I give kudos to them for trying yet again.

[POOHEAD189]

@SleepingSilence Apologies for me not throwing you a bone. Should have taken into account you were sleepy.

Also I do not know enough about California's state problems for me to accurately comment on them. Somehow I know more about Spain and Catalonia. Then again a lot of U.S. policy doesn't interest me overly much.

if you are going to be passive-aggressive about everything and utterly disbelieve all I say simply because of whatever has possessed you,

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Your lack of self awareness is quite shocking, I thought you were smarter than that.

But please let me know one more time why I am not worth responding to with a detailed response.

[Dolerman]

This thread is now about ducks.

@Normie

I call Dream BS because as anyone who's anyone knows Tracer's rewind only rewinds three seconds and I expect consistency even in dreams and unless you have super sperm you're not getting her pregnant right after ejaculation ergo Dream BS, sir. You can trust me I'm a Tracer scientist.
