It's pretty sad how Airbus defines themselves in comparison to Boeing, and Europeans define themselves in comparison to Americans in general. They don't have much identity of their own other than "screw you America! I'm the opposite of whatever you stand for!" It's so small-minded and petty, but unfortunately it's reality.

>Not all campaigns of slaying sacred cows are the same

Yeah. Your sacred cows are not OK to ridicule, but when it's The Other, definitely their sacred cows should be ridiculed, and it's hilarious.

But what happens when you get classified in the Outgroup? Suddenly the shoe's on the other foot and you don't like it one bit.

Maybe tolerance and understanding towards The Other is the answer. Whether The Other is communists or people who live in middle America.

Banning MTG cards is absolutely cancel culture in action, and is a completely indefensible act. Anyone who supports it is supporting cancel culture.

Stone-throwing Devils isn't a racial slur, unless it's one of those weird things where they go back and dredge up something forgotten. As certain segments of society are absolutely expert at doing. They exult in creating division and making us fight with one another, when we should be united against the ruling classes.

The number of McDonald's in Europe makes me doubt your words.

In fact, here we are at visible status markers again. "My ingroup does this high status display, but your ingroup (my outgroup) has low status and we would never do that (despite the fact that we secretly do that when you think we can't be seen)."

Cancel culture cancelled. Good luck getting your next job if you have Paw Patrol on your resume.

Magic: the Gathering banned the card "Stone-throwing Devils" because it reminds people of Antifa.

Nobody was interested in what mass murderers have to say. It just inspires more mass murderers. Did anyone read the manifesto of the New Zealand mosque killer? It was censored for a reason.

Slaying sacred cows is all fun and games and everyone loves South Park for it.

Right up until the point at which your own sacred cows are slaughtered. Then suddenly it's not funny any more. Blaspheming the sacred has long been grounds for jesters to be fired or beheaded, even though that is the jester's role in society.

It's still funny, you just don't like being ridiculed. Which is proof positive that your sacred cows must be ridiculed as much as possible.

Artistic value? With the ugly hump?

That hump isn't just physically ugly, it's socially ugly as well. It is where the elites congregate. Anything that diminishes their status relative to our own is a good thing.

No way, those things will be still flying 50 years from now. They hit a sweet spot in economical flying.

The Concorde was done in by fuel prices, and because it was a small aircraft. I visited one in a museum and it was claustrophobic. Also nobody should be sorry that elites have to sit on long overseas flights just like we do.

The A380 was a boondoggle from the beginning, an attempt to outdo Boeing by having TEH BIGGEREST aircraft on the market. Having to rebuild airports to accommodate it wasn't a good idea.

The 747 is a 1960s design, for Pete's sake. How long were we planning on keeping it around?

This is them displaying high status among their peer group.

YOU see it as a low status marker because you're higher than them. Being able to look down on people is a sure sign of being higher relative status. It's one reason why we humans heartily enjoy it so much.

OK, we humans don't know each other, so visible status markers are very important. Status is super important to us, even if we deny it is (anyone who says so already has high status).

When you display low status markers like lentils, one of two things must be true: you're high status enough to display low status symbols and obviously nobody would think less of you for it, or you're actually low status. If you're actually low status, you're displaying your low status to the world. This is humiliating. It feels horrible and we humans avoid it like we avoid being burned to death in fires.

My grandmother would never eat beans & rice because she was born Cajun, and she was taught that to be Cajun was shameful and low status. Due to their cultural backwardness, lack of education, their cuisine was things they found in the swamp. They were somewhat rehabilitated by the food revival in the 90s, but when she was a girl it was bad and she avoided displaying those status markers in public.

That's the new thing. When a film doesn't agree with the reviewer's political biases, he never admits it. Instead, the movie is terrible and nobody should see it.

Remember Joker and the terrified reaction to it? It got panned in review after review. I watched it and it was fantastic. I immediately understood why it got bad reviews because it correctly pointed out how the media are the source of many problems in our society.

So they need to retrain for another job. Technological unemployment is here to stay. If people in another country can make food that is better and cheaper, well that's globalism.

Being of low status, avoiding markers of low status is extremely important.

You're not low status, so you can freely display such markers with no fear that anyone would conclude that you're lower class.

It's an amazing privilege you have to be able to do such things in public, and a little empathy towards the little people would be greatly appreciated.

These are people who thought South Park was on "their" side, only to get ridiculed by South Park. Thus they feel bitter and have to lash out.

They don't realize that they are the authoritarian jerks that South Park despises. "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

These 70s radicals never went to prison, and today they run our universities. Do you not know about the Long March through the institutions? Where do you think Critical Theory came from?

Since when did conservatives use Tumblr?

Same reason as Facebook: advertisers don't want their ads shown next to controversial content. As a matter of fact, the LGBTQIA+ communities aren't all about sex, and it's homophobic to say they are.

Fascism never went away; it was a mortal threat in 1965 when Herbert Marcuse wrote Repressive Tolerance, one of the most influential essays ever written: http://www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs/60spubs/1965MarcuseRepre...

>"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left."

>"The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is extreme danger. I maintain that our society IS in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs. Different opinions and "philosophies" can no longer compete peacefully for adherence and persuasion on rational grounds: the "marketplace of ideas" is organized and delimited by those who determine national and the individual interest."

Here ya go: https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/

>Days of Rage is important, because this stuff is forgotten and it shouldn’t be. The 1970s underground wasn’t small. It was hundreds of people becoming urban guerrillas. Bombing buildings: the Pentagon, the Capitol, courthouses, restaurants, corporations. Robbing banks. Assassinating police. People really thought that revolution was imminent, and thought violence would bring it about.

>One thing that Burrough returns to in Days of Rage, over and over and over, is how forgotten so much of this stuff is. Puerto Rican separatists bombed NYC like 300 times, killed people, shot up Congress, tried to kill POTUS (Truman). Nobody remembers it.

>Also, people don’t want to remember how much leftist violence was actively supported by mainstream leftist infrastructure. I’ll say this much for righty terrorist Eric Rudolph: the sonofabitch was caught dumpster-diving in a rare break from hiding in the woods. During his fugitive days, Weatherman’s Bill Ayers was on a nice houseboat paid for by radical lawyers.

Bill Ayers bombed the US Capitol building, something completely forgotten today. You might remember him - he was Obama's mentor. Someone tracked down a rare first edition of his manifesto and reviewed it and scanned a bunch of pages in.

>Page 40 of the manuscript is typical: It outlines the Weather Underground's strategies for overthrowing the United States. Among the many strategies are: eliminating the feeling of patriotism among the general public, destroying the government from within, and starting a mass insurrection among the lower classes.

"Our final goal is the destruction of imperialism, the seizure of power, and the creation of socialism."

The following quote is taken from page 128, from the portion of Prairie Fire having to do with the Middle East. I include it here to show the amazing consistency of the radical left-wing view of the area -- the issues and arguments remain almost unchanged from 1974 to today: ending Zionism, no "war for oil," stopping U.S. support for Israel, etc. Aside from a few current events details, this exact same text could have appeared in any contemporary left-wing essay about the Middle East. This shows that what once was a radical communist view has now become mainstream: http://www.zombietime.com/prairie_fire/pfpg128_2.jpg

>Damn, I never actually heard this being spoken about on reddit.

That's pretty much the whole idea of censorship.

Who are these people, and who is telling them that? Cite sources.

The thing about Alex Jones is that he takes about 18 hours of reading and condenses it into about 7 words.

Turning the frogs gay

Evidence suggests that pharmaceuticals are making their way into waste water and altering the hormones of amphibious animals.

They're reading all our emails

The NSA turned off encryption methods on American communications, which were previously in place, after 9/11 with the implementation of the patriot act

Interdimensional space vampires

Elites believe that the world was 'seeded' by aliens, they are pagans who have two kinds of holidays. Those that require sexual sacrifice, and those that require blood.

Parroting communist propaganda? Remember the "dotard" remark that was literal propaganda and was picked up and parroted by people who knew better?

> Political primaries are now democratic, so less centrist candidates are being selected than from when candidates were selected by party leadership

That's not true at all. At least on the Democrat side. The party chooses the nominee, not the people.

"The DNC, led by Wasserman Schultz, Admitted In Court they Rigged Primaries Against Sanders"

>A Federal Judge dismissed the lawsuit after DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to rig primaries and select their own candidate.

Reality Winner was sentenced to federal prison for far less than Hillary Clinton did. She mishandled a single classified document while Hillary mishandled many, including top secret.

She's not in prison because the US has one justice system for us and another for establishment elites. Billionaires pay millionaires to tell the middle class that the poor are the problem. Punch up and fight the ruling class criminals.

The White House and the Pauline Kael Syndrome. Short version: In 1973, all six major US class segments were centrist. Over the next 35 years, five of the segments moved slightly to the right, but "Intellectual Upper Class" moved far out to the left.

The essay below makes an outstanding point about polarization. The thesis is that the Western Right's outgroup is people who aren't Westerners. BUT the Western Left's outgroup is the Right. It's the best explanation I've ever heard at this link. A bit long but worth reading every word because it answers SO many questions.

You think Google told the reason beyond "it was a boo-boo"? Highly doubtful.

"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back."

-- Robert Heinlein, 1939

I remember back in the day, before Google went evil, getting a reply from an actual human with a name. How times have changed.
