The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[KG1]

People get a feeling of rightness when they do that. It’s a like a tribal cause. Us good people against those bad people. We’re in the right. We’re the moral ones. We’re standing up for the defenseless against your immoral behavior. We’re standing up for social justice. Yeah? Well **** you and your narcissistic fake morality. If you want to be a good person and defend the defensless, protecting them from people who aren’t harming them isn’t being a good person. It’s taking the easy path to fake moral intoxication.

If you see someone bullying a special needs person, step in. Stand up for them. You might get yer ass beat. Take a risk to protect the defenseless against actual harm. The risk is part of what makes it virtue. But not everyone has the courage to put themselves on the line for someone else.

It’s easy to sit back on your couch with your pink macbook on your lap, and post a “spread the word to end the r-word” meme on your facebook page. And then feel like you’re changing the world. But that’s not virtue. Real virtue isn’t free. You have to earn it. And earning it certainly isn’t as simple as participating in a mob to shame people for using a ****ing word.

It’s kinda like they want the word “retarded” to be an exclusive term for their purpose or something and when someone else uses it to call out something stupid it’s demeaning and offensive to them.

I’m looking forward to hearing the whole podcast. I did listen to some jre clips including that one.

I’m a little dissatisfied that he didn’t rant more about how retarded it is to assume that someone is talking about your loved one when you call stupid **** people say, retarded. People who get all bent out of shape about it should get an earful similar to the following.

“What? C’mon. You’re not that stupid. You know ***damn well my invocation of the term has nothing to do with special needs people and that this AINT about YOU. But instead YOU wanna get all narcissistic about it and find some way to be offended on behalf of people who aren’t the subject, and make it about YOU so that YOU can have a heapin’ helpin’ of that delicious righteous indignation. Well stop it; that’s retarded.”

Here's the full episode. Definitely don't agree with a lot of Sam's positions. He tends to over-generalize how bad the "right" is in comparison to the "left"... but hits on some decent topics. Definitely a lot of censorship/SJW/cancel culture talk in this one.

Tim Pool on today's JRE should be interesting.

Not a chance they'll give up on mob shaming until it just doesn't work anymore; or the collateral damage gets too severe, like in VA

I'm going with this GIF for many applicable reasons.

Being offended on behalf of other people is now a competitive sport.

I remember this campaign strategy from George McGovern in 72.

Why not just give them the drugs directly and cut out the middleman?

What college does she go to (presumably in the U.S.) that no white people had a hand in founding and building?

In what world is $12,000 a year not poverty in Chicago?

Just checked her Twitter feed.

Good lord.

It's just... so... awful... She's going on about the "conservative trolls", some RTs that imply she hates cops, bunch of "POC", "empowerment", "precious knowledge".... essentially a soul lost to the Oregon education system.

I'm guessing there are people there (and other places) that get that much or more in food stamps alone.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Tim Pool interview going poorly.

Rogan's sidekick Jamie really seems to dislike him.

Tim also very eccentric, not really conducive to a good interviewee.

Maybe it's actually $12,000 per month?

I've made it through much of the podcast with Sam Harris. Probably finish it tomorrow. Might be a couple of days before I can listen to the Tim Pool one, but I definitely want to listen to that too.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Tim Pool with Joe Rogan. Went 3 hours, that's pretty good.

Aside from Jamie jumping in with nonsense about the "circle game", it wasn't a bad episode. Got better over time.

Obviously, Pool is a normal civilian, someone involved in the culture war... he's not an expert (even though he tries to sound like one.)

just ****ing call the wedding off you moron

Relationships are hard enough without trying to carry around baggage like that. Anyone who says relationships are "50/50" doesn't know what they are talking about. It takes a minimum of 100% from both sides to stand a chance of it working.

The "2 becoming 1" isn't a physical thing, it is knowing who you are and learning who your mate is. How can you do that if you still don't know who you are, what you are or why you are even there?

If your betrothed has to carry around a pocket full of smelling salts for every time you are seen in public I am guessing it's gonna be a failure...

Yeah, I saw that. I thout it was an incredible stupid thing to say. It really wasn’t about that. If it were only that she’d have just ended it without involving the internet. But since she did involve the internet, it seems obvious that it’s about more than that. It’s at least about signaling her bonafides to the rest of the racist left. Not really a dog whistle. Just good oke fassioned virtue signaling.
