I agree with you, but the way you confront things is important. Simply saying "gently caress off" or insulting people is not the way to confront things, and will just exacerbate the problems. I didn't say ignoring someone is ideal. I said ignoring someone *that you won't engage with in good faith* is the better solution. Or the lesser of two evils. However you want to define it.

Do you think the internet had anything to do with Donald Trump's election?

Steezo posted:I thought those and RINOs were on the endangered list? I think Patreaus was a brilliant military leader. I know telling his mistress classified things undercuts his credibility, but he's still brilliant and deserves to be heard. Also I think the republicans and democrats have so skewed what it means to be a republican or democrat that RINO and DINO are almost irrelevant terms these days.

People on social media are praising trump for dropping everything he was doing to go to a SEAL funeral and totally glossing over what got him killed in the first place. "Trump dropped everything and left. Where he was going will make you proud."

Weren't people enforcing the EO after the stay was granted after the ACLU did some work? Why will this be different? Not being cynical or pessimistic, I'm genuinely curious.

I heard someone at the gym talking about the Flint water crisis and he suggested they just get some of those brita water filters. I'm not sure if he was serious, but I think it's pretty good insight into the intelligence of your average voter these days.

Robot Hobo posted:Even if a significant percentage of these protesters were paid to do it (which I doubt), wouldn't that be a case of their backers using money as a form of free speech? The Republicans fought pretty hard for Citizens United, to ensure that spending unlimited amounts of money toward a political goal is simply a valid and legal use of first amendment rights. Actually Trump is going to call his assistant in and say "take a screenshot of this" and his assistant will say "this isn't anything mr president" so he will fire his assistant and hire his expert-in-hacking 10 year old.

Suicide Watch posted:If instead of UBI, that money went to lifelong education/training credits (community college, not private/for-profit schools) and universal health care, wouldn't that serve as a more respectable way of kickstarting peoples' lives again? I haven't looked at numbers but if it's similar in cost it would give people more purpose than just money for doing nothing (although microfinance theory being applied globally is in favor of just money, but likely serving other purposes). Adding to that small business grants and infrastructure investment and then jobs could have a comeback. I think an educated populous is a better off populous. I'm not sure how diminishing returns would work if you give everyone access to college, but I would be willing to find out.
