I respect pro-lifers who think "rape and incest" exemptions are bullshit more than the rest - if you're pro-life and believe that personhood begins at conception then how does the manner in which the person is conceived matter?
― louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 22:31 (five years ago) link
so are miscarriages ... involuntary manslaughter?
the whole "life begins at conception" tack is arbitrary and stupid. I suppose consistency can be admired in and of itself but the baseline position it stems from is illogical, based in religious dogma, and socially harmful.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 22:33 (five years ago) link
Pro-lifers in general are monstrous but I'd rather deal with one who's logically consistent.

Which is more appealing to the population that isn't as extremist as I am about reproductive rights - soft pro-lifers who'll carve out exemptions/focus on bullshit like 'partial birth abortions' or someone who just point blank says no to all of it?

Logically consistent reactionary beliefs are usually repulsive to normal people.

Conservative/traditionalist Catholics are the most comprehensible and intellectually consistent kind of conservative afaict, and mostly they seem to advocate these days for a withdrawal from political life, which is better than working for the reestablishment of Western Christendom

Matt was on Jake Flores’ and gave a helluva Marxist history of American (Neo)liberalism which points to what he’ll probably be doing after once Chapo disintegrates.

PodDamnAmerica - Matt Christman's Softcore HistoryIn possibly our most ambitious audio experiment to date, we invite Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House to chart a history of Liberalism and American politics. What is it? Where did it go wrong? How does it fit into a star wars analogy?There's also a good 10 minutes on the upcoming Ozyfest music festival featuring headlining act Hillary Clinton. The Aum Shinrikyo death cult comes up at the beginning. I don't know we talk about all kinds of shit, it's a big one.

They were pretty damn reactionary in their Israel episode - a lot of talk about how cultural differences need to be acknowledged that sounded straight out of the European anti-refugee rhetoric handbook.

Yep. That was strike one, abortion the second, and this was the third. (Oh, there was also the "retard" thing but that honestly paled in comparison.) I was willing to be a little more patient because it was great to hear a dude-free 'cast but it really got to be intolerable.

Khachiyan is very smart but gives the impression she has next to no experience of the world, outside a Brooklyn art scene she hates 99.9% of the other people in.
There was a Twitter thread from last year about how Greek culture is fundamentally antithetical to capitalism (and better for it) based on the owner of a cafe (who was probably fiddling taxes, tbh) giving her sister a discount for paying for a coffee in cash that was so mortifying i could have self-combusted. It's not a huge surprise she likes Nassim Taleb so much.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Monday, 16 July 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
khachiyan is not very smart, but she is very good at zeroing in on a target and utterly destroying them. this is not because of any kind of brilliance or wit, but because she rejects the scruples and principles that the rest of left-twitter-world takes for granted, so she is free to really lay into someone in that slimy and ruthless way that is more common among sam hyde types. the kind of person that, if she hadnt grown up in a metropolitan-left milieu and thus felt a gut-level identification with "leftism," would definitely reject all this stuff and describe herself as some kind of "paleoconservative"
so, I guess I dont like her

Sure but it's NAGL for socialists to encourage people to cross picket lines.
― louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 01:30 (five years ago) link
crossing a picket line technically means scabbing, not buying things.
That said, did they literally do something active to promote buying the book at amazon specifically after the strike began?
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:23 (five years ago) link
Crossing a picket line means walking into a shop to buy stuff (or the digital equivalent), not just scabbing. They were promoting it on Twitter and the first link on their book site is to Amazon.
If it doesn't bother you, cool, but there's already some weirdness with the 'buy the book' stuff and Bezos is one of their top supervillains.

I guess in theory they could have just removed the Amazon link from among the half dozen links for the pendency of the strike but that's reaching pretty hard for a NAGL.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 03:23 (five years ago) link
A GL would be removing the Amazon link permanently. And the Apple/B&N/Google links. Actively push people to the indie bookstore link - if buyers want to find it on the big boys they can do it themselves.
