The Politics Megathread

[wowfucktron]

Going by that nonsensical graph, categorize me:

I'll support your to say anything you say regardless of my stance on said message, unless you're a communist.
I am still waking up... It should read I'll defend anything you say regardless of whether I agree or not, unless you're a communist.
I'll support your manner of protest so long as you don't harm private property or civilians.
I won't support you forcing your beliefs onto others.
I will play devil's advocate with you, mainly to get you to think through what you say.
I think equity is stupid.
I hate taxes.
I have no sympathy for hypocrites with loose morals.
I hate the morality police.
I loathe democracy.
I think child molesters should be shot on sight.
I love the free market.
Commie killing is the only form of political violence I will ever endorse.
I sympathize with the mentally ill more than the poor.

1/4 chance to get it right. How could you possibly get it wrong?

[wowfucktron]

@richman
I meant inconsistent morals.

Like throwing a tantrum when someone you agree with is shot by cops, but then lauding the cops when they shoot someone you don't agree with.
What if I told you that I'd be listed in both authright and libleft but because that graph is so restricting, you can only be placed in extremes.

In other words, let me be the boot and whip and I totally won't screw up the world!
Yes, those nukes are for my glaucoma. No, they just coincidentally happen to be pointed at Beijing...

Ah, i getcha now, I agree with you there.

Same, but I'm more left center (maybe, I don't know) than lib or auth.
The pol compass test website is mega biased so I don't know where "exactly" i am

 

[wowfucktron]

@richman
The site and test is just a common sense test. It's biased because it's intentionally inaccurate.
As much as I hate how everything is placed on a spectrum (you aren't photon rays, stop it) these days...political beliefs are as complex as religious interpretations, ie. highly personalized.

Free market btw: https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1354875520924717057
Apparently, this is not illegal.

@halo
Hmmmm.....

Company I use as a middleman is making decisions for me to avoid federal oversight.

We've had a major court case over something similar before...don't get your hopes up.

 

[Halo]

@wowfucktron Yay. I can't wait for them to get sued and fined with huge bonuses, yachts and underage escort. 🙃

@Kokoe only if you get permission from your parents.

>thread on r/anime was praising shield hero
>op praising it mentions false rape accusations
>people replying to op start lashing out at him
>queue "muh straight white males" bullshit
Many such cases.

In all seriousness, why is it always the big niche communities that are full of bizarro racists and fascistic lefties...
Is it the exclusive inclusivity? Or the heavy handed moderation used for protecting the sensitivities of others?

@wowfucktron

Honestly, I want to see how they react to Redo Healer because I love the moral arguments you can get into with that one, but I don't think they'd even touch it

Hey to anyone who thinks Reddit’s buying all the GameStop stock is market manipulation. Robin Hood blocked buying of game stop stock and then started selling GameStop stock with out peoples consent, their owned by the same company that shorted game stop.

 

[wowfucktron]

@tamerlane
r/anime has mixed opinions on it.

One hand they love that it’s basically porn as well as the fact that it’s the perfect example of revenge power fantasy done wrong.

On the other hand they hate it because the MC is a bag of shit who’s no better than the people he hates. They hate the fact that it proves revenge is only taken up by morons.

But it’s being drowned out by all of the big name anime this season, the three different versions also doesn’t help...

I share r/manga’s opinion on Redo of Healer, it’s absolute garbage and is just a brutalism outlet for the author.
(Of course I still read it but...)

You need to visit twatter for the real *chef’s kiss* opinions.

So refreshing after 2 days of tv anchors talking with Wall Street cocks in their mouths.

I've written about Keyaru before, but I actually like his character a lot given he's got this very egoist moral code, yet he's not wanton in his discrimination and you can't argue that what he does isn't making the world a better place, even if it's all inadvertent and spawned from a place of malice. It's lays out an interesting moral question of "how much does the ends justify the means," and "how much bad shit do you have to do before you are not justified in your revenge?" You can basically justify all of his actions within his own philosophical framework, where he does not hurt innocent bystanders or those uninvolved, but if you hurt the people he's close to, he will not hold back any mercy, which given the world he finds himself in and the people he is sorrounded by, it somewhat makes sense why he became the way he did. Plus there's the element of the idea that Keyaru knows that it's only a matter of time before he grows bored and his revenge is completed, and then he doesn't know what to do with his life after that, yet he still feels obligated to go through with it so what happened to him can never happen again.

Granted, there's plenty of moments of dumbassry, especially in the manga, but I think it's better than it has any right to be, though I am in the minority on this opinion. It's trash but it's good trash with a lot of interesting ideas that could have been executed a bit better

 

[wowfucktron]

@tamerlane
I just don’t like the barbarity he uses, y’know the white hot iron dildo?

Or the fact that his revenge is similar to the original sin in Shingeki no Kyojin, nonsensical hatred. How could his victims know what they did to him if they technically never did it due to his time magic?
——————
Anyways, the only anime irritating reddit right now is SnK, 5touben, and KnY.

Shingeki mainly because CGI and the Declaration of War was on riot day and it spooked Twitter.

Gou bothers the coomers because the quints have less thigh and boobs.

Yaiba is hated because it now has an Oscar nomination. Fastest flip in the west.

 

[Tamerlane]

@wowfucktron

I'd actually argue that the time paradox and the fact he goes back before they did anything gives it an extra layer of moral ambiguity. It's a minority report situation. Can you punish someone who has yet to commit a crime if you know they will?

Also 5touben is a series I want to forget ever existed because of how terrible the ending was
