Armyman25 posted:The only problem with poo poo like this is it only works as long as the other guy decides to be a pacifist too. It's a message against enabling war, not necessarily of strict pacifism in all cases. Fluoride Jones posted:lol, great, reasonable minds such as George "Richard Pryor is a friend of the family" Carlin, Penn "Global Warming is a Sham" Gilette, Christopher "gently caress every Middle Eastern person" Hitchens, and Richard "Islam is Unmitigated Evil" Dawkins. You forgot Bill "Had a children's show, is an engineer and not a scientist" Nye, Adam "Comic relief character on Mythbusters" Savage and Michio "Has a show where he discusses how to build lightsabres" Kaku. That picture is a who's who of pop TV personalities, no different than a supposed list of humanity's greatest authors that's dominated by George RR Martin and JK Rowling, and it almost certainly came from Reddit. And speaking of Reddit, here's your provocative picture:

Weldon Pemberton posted:A woman beaten at a Baltimore McDonalds, with a clear case of the bystander effect being exhibited by the employees. It's odd. I'm a straight white male; I've never faced discrimination in my life so this doesn't resonate with anything from my past. I grew up alongside the internet and have seen all the horrors it has to offer, from accidents to murders to war crimes, and while some of it has bothered me and much of it has angered me none of it has truly horrified me. Yet I can't finish this video. There is nothing here that can be hidden behind or explained away by socioeconomic factors or religious culture. Have a related picture.

As well it should. A young man, maybe stupid, maybe not, has had his life destroyed because he signed on to fight a war he didn't understand in a land he'd only seen in movies and video games, against a people he'd been told all his life hated him for who he was. The young men and women signing up to go overseas and kill strangers are the products of the same centuries-old propaganda machine as the children whose ignorant, racist Facebook and Twitter posts litter this thread. Their views are repugnant, but what more can you expect of people who have grown up in a nation that glorifies violence in the name of defending vague ideals of "freedom" and Christian values? Is a kid who grew up in Arkansas, in a family and social group who instilled in him the values of Jesus and Murrica and who indoctrinated him in Western propaganda any worse than a kid who grew up in Pakistan who decided to take up arms for the causes he was indoctrinated into? Human psychology is a bitch and our free will is not nearly so free as we like to think. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Reddit chat is totally last page, but there really are plenty of legit good Reddit forums. It's a goddamned massive site and judging it in its entirety based on the front page reddits is like judging the SA forums based on GBS and It was mentioned, but /r/ShitRedditSays is actually an entire sub-community unto itself, formed originally by SA posters and with links to SRS reddits focused on myriad topics in the sidebar. Other quality reddits have been mentioned on the previous page and there are additional alternatives to the terrible defaults, such as /r/AtheismPlus and /r/AskScience which are more tightly moderated. If you poke around a bit, especially in the SRS subs, you can find decent political reddits as well.

Funny how people continue to fetishize the Bolsheviks and their propaganda then wonder why nobody wants to listen to their ideas.

Firearms are, to me, a difficult issue. I disagree with the seemingly pathological aversion to weapons that Liberals have and believe that the free ownership of weapons is a key component of ensuring self-determination, especially among the underprivileged lower classes for whom society provides little security. However, America's grotesque gun culture and hideous crime rates provide a sharp rebuke of this idea that people should freely possess weapons. America is quite obviously doing it wrong and requires better gun control legislation combined with active enforcement, but I remain unconvinced that utterly disarming the populace is acceptable. It is my opinion that crime, violent and otherwise, is generally driven more by economic and social circumstance than by access to weapons. Abolish poverty and the Capitalist system which reinforces it and, aside from crimes of passion, criminal offenses will drastically lower in frequency. "[img posted:http://i.imgur.com/rdKvWnW.jpg[/img]"]Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

Given the ongoing march of globalization combined with the increasingly accelerated automation of most industries a vote for a union today might very well be a vote for being jobless in a year's time. Technology and the concentration of wealth in a new global class which can freely move both themselves and their production between nations allow capitalists to do an end run around unions. More radical systemic change is required.

Cerebral Bore posted:Have I somehow fallen through a time portal to ten years in the past where posting pics of 9/11 and yelling about them mussulmen terrorist hordes that will magically swarm into the US any day now was proof positive of a major threat? ISIS may at some point, if they are very lucky and American security agencies are very stupid, manage to pull off a major terrorist attack which kills a few thousand people. That ain't poo poo, more Americans died in September 2001 in car accidents than were killed in the WTC attack. ISIS' real potential threat to America is the indirect damage they cause via America's inevitable response being to go forth and invade a sovereign nation or two, leading to a million or more deaths overseas, destabilizing an entire region even further than it already was, destroying its own economy and opening the door to another decade of extremist reactionary politics chipping away at what little of worth American society has left. The real tragedy of September 11 2001 wasn't a couple buildings falling down, it was what came after.

SALT CURES HAM posted:Also, gently caress doctors, as a general rule. Necessary people, but very very rarely good people. I live in Canada, right now a rich guy who works in my firm is paying a shitload of money to send his idiot son to an American premed program then medical school because it's both quicker and easier than getting accepted to medical school up here; if you have the money in America you'll become a doctor. If you want good doctors you need an accessible education system (We have problems with that here as well), otherwise you end up with a system in which money and personal ambition are the barriers to entry to a profession that attracts narcissists and sociopaths for the social cachet.

Whoa, sometimes violence is the appropriate and most effective response to an oppressive unjustified authority?  The two NYPD officers murdered in their car were killed by a single mentally ill individual independent of any movement and the resulting retraction of abusive policing has not been done out of enlightenment on the NYPD's part but as a political stunt meant to further reinforce the existing authoritarian status quo. When the NYPD resumes business as usual they will be even more oppressive of the poor and of minorities. There is no victory here, only pain.
