Can you prove every FTB SJW supported Stollznow? Did it really matter?
I may be mistaken but didn't Rebecca Watson kind of not support and kind of made it known Stollz and her weren't friends? I could be wrong and it doesn't matter.
At any rate, I don't recall there was much of a dogpile.

Radford and Stollznow settled quietly. The slymepit spammed everyone demanding apologies. Hemant publicly shamed everyone who didn't apologize for siding with Karen and saying Ben is a creep.
Rebecca said she didn't give a fuck about Karen being harassed because she thinks Karen is a liar and she doesn't like Karen. And this is your movement.
A man can harass and assault a woman in our movement, bludgeon her financially in a lawsuit, force her to settle on the day she is scheduled to give birth and the movement gloats about how great that is and the great feminist crusader who speaks about abuse is like IDGAF about her she is not my friend. "


Rebecca's usually more careful?

I believe, Brive, you're indulging in the category error that all Democrats are necessarily SJW, rather than simply paying lip service to potential voters. Just as Republicans talk tough on illegal immigration, until you look at their maids and groundskeepers. Saying all Democrats are SJW is like saying all Republicans are election cheats and criminals. Some are, but by no means all.

And there is a good deal of racism, real racism left in the western world. Pretending everything is made up, Smollett-style is unhelpful and untrue. It's far better than SJWs claim, but by no means absent.

Sanders doesn't seem to be on board with a lot of SJW bullshit:
H]ere is my point -- and this is where there is going to be a division within the Democratic Party. It is not good enough for somebody to say, 'I'm a woman, vote for me.' No, that’s not good enough. What we need is a woman who has the guts to stand up to Wall Street, to the insurance companies, to the drug companies, to the fossil fuel industry.

In other words, one of the struggles that you’re going to be seeing in the Democratic Party is whether we go beyond identity politics. I think it’s a step forward in America if you have an African-American CEO of some major corporation. But you know what, if that guy is going to be shipping jobs out of this country, and exploiting his workers, it doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot whether he’s black or white or Latino.
Though I guess that you could argue he's pushing "socialist fantasy". :bjarte:

For most of the other candidates the SJW bullshit is largely performative, to look progressive for the media. It's like Republicans blathering about god and family values.

I think that Sanders IS going to be attacked by the wokes, and especially by Kamala Harris, who is definitely going to exploit her own identity in the primaries. But in the long run, when it'll come to the race for the presidency, that's going to be toned down to a degree.

Anyway, no matter who's the Democratic candidate, Trump is going to have to deal with a much stronger opposition than in 2016. The SocJus stuff is unlikely to hurt the Democrats too much if they're running against Trump, especially if they tone down the "wypipo suck" part and focus it on Trump's words and actions (which will happen). Trump is actually a good lighting rod for the SocJus concerns.

What fraud, exactly? I admit he's a bit of a disappointment in a few respects, but becoming the first African-American POTUS is an achievement. And stating Trump is a bringer of world peace is so ludicrous as to make me wonder about you. He's being played by Putin, which can backfire spectacularly. He threatens Venezuela and Iran regularly, and when he finds out Kim and Putin "I don't care, I believe Putin" was lying, may react as a typical narcissist reacts. Poorly.

Did you actually listen to this podcast? The one I heard was an analysis of what advantages and disadvantages Sanders has with Democratic primary voters. Having that analysis without discussing demographics and identity would be assinine, particularly when Clinton smoked Sanders with Black voters, who are a significant Democratic constituency. I must have missed the point where Silver et al. expressed opinions on whether the Democratic party's leftward shift is good, or whether identity voting should be a significant factor in the Democratic primary. Maybe you need to look up the is/ought problem, if you don't understand what I'm on about. The fact that fivethirtyeight explores political considerations that demonstrably exist in the Democratic party doesn't mean they are endorsing them. They do this with republicans as well.

On that note, here is another ideological blowhard denouncing 538 for doing statistical modeling, instead of peddling the correct virtue signals:

So you can see who else shares your inability to understand any political reasoning that isn't explicitly value driven.

Myers is really a whining moron. There are countless people discussing policy, and he gets pissy at Silver, who runs a website about polling, for talking about polling.

He's the kind of guy who goes at a Chinese restaurant and gets made that they don't sell cheeseburgers.

Did you actually listen to this podcast? The one I heard was an analysis of what advantages and disadvantages Sanders has with Democratic primary voters. Having that analysis without discussing demographics and identity would be assinine, particularly when Clinton smoked Sanders with Black voters, who are a significant Democratic constituency. I must have missed the point where Silver et al. expressed opinions on whether the Democratic party's leftward shift is good, or whether identity voting should be a significant factor in the Democratic primary. Maybe you need to look up the is/ought problem, if you don't understand what I'm on about. The fact that fivethirtyeight explores political considerations that demonstrably exist in the Democratic party doesn't mean they are endorsing them. They do this with republicans as well.

On that note, here is another ideological blowhard denouncing 538 for doing statistical modeling, instead of peddling the correct virtue signals:

Surprisingly I listen to them on a regular basis. I even manage to (usually) keep my lunch down listening to the asinine Pod Save America. Which probably makes me the most roundly informed person in the room,when it comes to polar viewpoints.

538 are unabashedly partisan Democrat. I mean really. Jody, Julia. Gallen and Micah :lol:

They may not wear their progressive values on their sleeves as aggressively as Pod Cast America. But my point was, as they pointed out:

+ there is a definite left lurch.
+ the socialist trend was rolling pre 2016 but had a major injection of momentum from Bernie
+ there is huge Dem alignment to minority and gender specific support bases
+ for 2020, intersectional identity politics will deliniate the otherwise vanilla left economic field
+ consequently Bernie is pretty much screwed.
+ Bernie’s only hope is to turn his 15% (or was it 30%? They kept changing) support into a Trump like catalyst.
+ they didn’t sound confident They weren’t exactly in mourning either.
+ PZ would have felt at home. Very little mention of poles. It was all SJ approved topics of identity.

....

In general, there is a very comfortable focus on race/gender on left centric podcasts like TYT, 538 et al. It is often far more explicitly stated than on the dreaded right commentaries like Wife with a Purpose. Being pro oppressed minority does not incur the same opprobrium as that garnered by supporters of traditional European society.

I don't agree that the Right-wing nut job Coast Guard guy is being swept away. It was the second lead story yesterday on Fox's Special Report. They showed the number of guns the guy had, and explained about his notes about who he would target.

People know that there are nut jobs out there and this is the latest one. While this is a story about a horrible person, people have come to expect to find a wack-job like this every once in a while. To me, the real story on this Coast Guard guy would be to find out how the caught the guy before he hurt anyone. Good policing for the win! So, while this is a terrible man, few people are really surprised by this story.

The biggest reason, IMHO, the Smollett story is getting so much attention is that it is very unusual. The ego of Smollett is almost staggering. Go back and watch his interview. Wow. The other interesting thing is how fucking stupid the Nigerian brothers are. I laughed for a good solid minute when I heard the cops were able to find the magazines in their apartment that had the letters cut out of them. So... haha... they sent a fake threatening letter... and used magazine letters to make it untraceable... and... they didn't destroy the magazines. They just left them in their apartment. Haha.... what idiots. Cosmic level stupidity.... really.

The other reason the story is interesting is how the left is not condemning Smollett. They should be just as angry as the right... actually... they "should" be more angry with him. But, all the lefty people can say is something like "Well... okay... it didn't really happen....BUT... it COULD have happened." Pathetic.

This is really a awkward recycling of gamesmanship theory only even more vapid when using the internet to magnify the petty message.
You assumed an argument. I was making the point that “assume” makes an ass out of u and me.
No, you just made an ass out of yourself by spouting nonsense and then claiming you achieved something.

It’s really not hard to go back to the root post.

What the Nobel theatre did do was cast a spotlight on Obama’s fraud and the corresponding hypocrisy of denying the gong to the bringer of world peace - because he was orange.

Objective met.

That sentence doesn't make any sense. What does "and then deal with it" have to do with your purported assumption that Trump is a reptilian? Word salad worthy of a Sarah Palin brainfart. :roll:
Obama getting the Nobel when he didn't deserve it doesn't negate the sleazy classless act of Trump lobbying Abe for the nomination and then bragging about getting it. Bringing it up is just BS whataboutism that attempts to deflect the point.

A lot of the left is condemning Smollett. A lot of us never bought into it in the first place. They're certainly not sweeping Smollet's apparent guilt under the rug, even in the liberal press.

We have rolling goal posts.

Glad you now accept there was a flow from your comment to mine, even if you didn’t appreciate the point.
Assuming Trump is reptilian illustrates the inherent absurdity of assuming whatever you want without hard evidence.
My suggesting I need strategies to deal with that absurdity (‘deal with it’, help groups) again underlines the risks of fantasy.

Re ‘what about’- CFB brought up the concept of normality around the Nobel process to give the orange man a jab. It’s relevant to point out there is significant dysfunction and (usually publicised) cheap lobbying built into the system.

Hope this straightens things out for you.

The left appear to be latching onto the money motive as the thing to criticise - not the cheap anti white anti Trump identity victim politics. Because the new-left know and value oppression more than they value truth which distracts from this worldview.

It’s very fair to say that the MSM bought into the narrative immediately and enthusiastically. Which is an important litmus test of their credibility. The fact the current crop of Demo-nominees also jumped into the wagon should sound huge alarm bells. Far worse than Trump’s comment that there were bad faith actors on both sides of the civil war statue protests.

It’s also fair to say that the common Smollett walk back was along the “let’s wait and see” line, hardly offsetting the initial vibe of “modern day lynching”.
