Eh not the worst take: Chomsky posted:“Unlike repression of the left, typically tolerated (even approved), repression of the right elicits great concern and sometimes support for the targets, as they claim the high moral ground of ‘defending basic civil rights’,” he says. “That’s quite apart from the opportunity cost, the failure to use the opportunity to expose their doctrines and actions, and the threat they pose to civilised existence.” So arguing from a tactical view rather than some sort of moral high ground.

Reading that is like slogging through pure molasses Here is a translation from idiotspeak to english so you don't have to share my pain: * People identify with the hero of a story. * Film heros used to be grounded in regular peoples real world experience * Western were grounded by rural people experiences with horses * Action flicks were grounded in military mens experiences * Modern superhero flicks are grounded in nothing but fantasy, ergo something something millennias are weak baby piss ants identifying with a fantasy also what the gently caress does "Indexical Reality" mean in this context? Is this a fancy way of saying "physical reality?"

hackbunny posted:This is all true though and something I've noticed myself. No idea what conclusions to draw from it though "Rambo 4, Return to Iraq" would probably not fly so well. So who would be the goodies vs baddies in a symbolical reflection of modern society? Instead just make up an evil, and make up a good, and have them clash over life or love or friendship or whatever

Taking economic concepts and making them synonymous with progressive struggles is the greatest trick of modern capitalism, and i am so glad that it's slowly fading away.

it's impossible to chalk up whether there was miscommunication or if he was creepely ignoring her body contexts. she says as much herself:quote:Whether Ansari didn’t notice Grace’s reticence or knowingly ignored it is impossible for her to say. “I know I was physically giving off cues that I wasn’t interested. I don’t think that was noticed at all, or if it was, it was ignored.”

Endman posted:I really like Fallout 1 and I kind of wish it was alone as just a one-and-done classic from that era of cRPGs. Fallout 2 was good! A bit bloated compared to 1 but nicely executed. But I get what you mean, it would be nice if a classic could just be a classic, and not spawn 4 sequels and a spinoff MMO. And then a TV show, 2 movies and a dozen Funko Pops
