I totally forgot that this is content worth posting in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vzfeyh-ow8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2t6iP4mWvA Also Jesse Tribble finished his House retrospective. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWdThUGn6xcAtmxBDjOUY6w And after watching that from not watching more than maybe a dozen episodes and never in a row or intentionally I gotta say, not a fan. I much prefer my rear end in a top hat doctors to be like the Scrubs caricatures.

Katt posted:Right wingers and leftists coming together to poo poo on tankies is absolutely some sort of OP to equate extreme left and extreme right and place the reasonable middle somewhere around Tucker Carlson. Eh, if you spend any time in UK left-wing politics, you're going to get extremely annoyed with Trotskyites. Either they spend their whole time trying to recruit you into their terrifying rape cult, or they suddenly go hardcore right-libertarian and end up as key policy advisors to the Tories who keep showing up in the BBC to explain why asset-stripping the country's entire economy is good, actually.

Leftism isn't a coherent thing or in-group, you have to be some form of anarchist or communist or you aren't really a leftist because there is no broader theory of leftism, just competing, conflicting, and occasionally aligning theories loosely categorized together in opposition to the capitalist status quo. A liberal sympathetic to leftism can still be an ally to some degree without being a leftist but leftists reserve the right to be skeptical of whether they're a fair-weather ally.

In fact wrt the concept of "purity tests" I highly recommend the always excellent Citations Needed episode on it. https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-103-the-glib-left-punching-of-purity-politics-discourse quote:"Obama Warns Against ‘Purity Tests’ In Democratic Primary," Spectrum News reports. "Spare Me the Purity Racket," Maureen Dowd opines in The New York Times. "'Purity Tests' Divide Democrats," US News & World Report announces. "Political purity tests are for losers," bellows The Hill.

I mean, especially since recently there have been some pretty horrible cases of people turning on their supposed principles. I also used to read USPOL, but I had to stop when people started accusing Tara Reade of being a Russian psyop.

A liberal sympathetic to leftism can still be an ally to some degree without being a leftist but leftists reserve the right to be skeptical of whether they're a fair-weather ally. It's why I kind of find "Leftist" to be a really bad term. The people who inhabit that space aren't a monolith. I'd label myself as an anarchist and I find my values and worldview tend to overlap very little with Leninists and I find myself disagreeing with some orthodox marxists views. But all are under the umbrella of Leftism. For real, Anarchists and MLs yelling at each other will be a forever thing because one group wants to dismantle hierarchical power structures while the other wants to centralize those power structures. The very online parts of both can be annoying but I'd sooner take the side of the anarchists over the MLs, not because I share their values, but mainly because anarchists have historical evidence of MLs putting them up against the wall. It's on the Leninists to prove that "leftist unity" doesn't mean "let's team up to do this then when it's all over we'll put you to death if you don't immediately submit to the rule of the party".

Srice posted:"Purity tests" are just an antagonistic way to accuse someone of having moral standards they keep to. It's like this ridiculous hyperbole: Someone goes "I don't feel comfortable voting for the rapelord as president, even if I could get past his love of rape - I don't think any of his policies are good for the people." And a bunch of people blink into existence and the sirens go off; "Oh my god, stop with the purity tests already! It doesn't matter that he can only achieve an erection when black people are wrongfully arrested and openly admits he wants everyone to get the plague and die: if you don't vote for him then you're responsible for everything Mega Hitler does when Mega Hitler gets into office because if you don't vote for him then you're clearly just a Mega Hitler supporter! Stop Doomposting already and go jerk off with the other Mega Hitler supporters! gently caress off!" I don't actually see that many people proposing arbitrary purity tests. There's just a lot of people accusing them of it when they see people who feel justified in not supporting certain politicians over their policies and acts in regards to topics like abuse, bigotry, violence and crime. People don't hold out for perfect they just want someone who's actually going to do something, not someone who's stated goal is gently caress everyone else, I'm comfortable. Dawgstar posted:It boiled down to the two people who made it blow up thought that no child could have flaws because that 'set a bad example.' If it's the same person I'm thinking of, it also involved some hilariously stereotypical and racist ideals of what was and wasn't Hawaiian.

The two of them were also reactionaries who defended the whole putting-children-in-cages thing in ICE detention facilities and one insisted Lilo and Stitch was an inaccurate portrayal of 1970s Hawaii because it didn't properly portray native Hawaiian punching white kids. (Lilo and Stitch is not set in the1970s.)

Purity test accusations literally only get thrown around to defend irredeemable trash candidates. If a candidate is 1 inch left of center, all the same people are happy to go along with obvious bullshit smears.

i feel like there's kinda two different conversations that are being kludged together with the purity test thing one is about whether we should accept political candidates who don't 100% share our views or morals, or have done hosed up poo poo, just because they're not literal Nazis or Skeletor or whatever the other is about whether we should hold prominent leftists, outside of electoral politics, to a perfect standard, and treat any mistake or bad opinion out of them as a sign that they were really Nazis wearing Scooby-Doo-esque leftist masks all along despite the same language being used in both cases, these are really not the same situation

WeedlordGoku69 posted:i feel like there's kinda two different conversations that are being kludged together with the purity test thing Fair enough, but they have similar root causes. Let's say a prominent public leftist who, by dint of their platform and voice, is given a lot of weight in the sphere does something generally agreed on as "not great". Maybe they platform someone lovely, or they say something awful or even get caught being a big ol' racist. Is it a purity test to say you don't want this person automatically getting to be as powerful a voice as they are? What about when they don't change their behavior and it happens again, and again? At what point does it stop just being a purity test and an argument about people feeling like their community is choosing someone who harms them over the people being harmed?

I mean at the moment people are shouting PURITY TEST to shame people for not being enthusiastic to vote for Biden a senile architect of our current garbage system, because he passes the bare minimum of not being literally Hitler. So it's completely understandable when someone assumes you're actually complaining about any principles at all.

Dapper_Swindler posted:https://twitter.com/jacksonpublick/status/1303102212193705985 I wonder if it got canceled for the usual reasons, or if it's due to all the weird shifting stuff at Turner as they prepare to move so much of their stuff to streaming. It sucks, since while I think the premise was starting to wear a little thin they could have really used one more season and they definitely had it in them. It's also really weird to see the Venture Brothers get canceled right as the Harley Quinn show that's kind of ripping them off is on a running start.

This loving sucks hard for Venture Bros. Arguably the show had been dodging being taken around back by the network thanks to its years long production cycles, but it absolutely blows that they couldn't even get one last season to wrap up the major loving revelations of the penultimate season. Hopefully they can get it crowdfunded or a streaming service will pick it up. Also hopefully AS won't treat them like Metalocalypse and gently caress everything over out of seeming spite.

If I were to do a retrospective, I’d probably describe it as exemplifying everything good about the art of generation x, which is not a good generation overall but which had philosophical commitments that created some wonderful art.

Ouch, that's rough. I haven't watched Venture Bros in... gently caress, maybe over a decade? I remember it being funny as hell though, the perfect evolution of the Williams Street stuff in that they finally had their own animation which let them branch out in the kind of stories they could tell, but retaining that tongue and cheek riffing on Hanna-Barbera spirit. I didn't realize it kept running for so long, I might sit down and binge it next weekend.
