    I think more than maybe any other society Americans have fully internalized the logic of the market and have truly made themselves into homo economicus. There is nothing to do but to consume and any restraint on consumption (even if intended to allow for greater consumption at a later date) is seen as tyrannical.

    I guess NYC hasn't had any protests over the past few weeks.

    Huge blow to those shithole countries Israel and Saudi Arabia. Lion Assad claims another scalp.

    Doesn’t look good for that dude in a wig.

    If they stopped giving press briefings entirely do you think it would make one iota of difference to those people? The only people who would even notice would be resistance libs such as yourself who jerk off to pictures of Jim Acosta. I'm not arguing that she's a good person but I believe we can all agree that she is responsible for less human suffering than someone like Joe Biden, for instance.

    Nothing that happens in the WH press briefing room, particularly for this administration, can be categorized as such. It's just for laughs.

    Do you hold grudges against actors who play heels in movies? It's just a role.

    Hot, smart, successful...what do y'all have against Kayleigh again?

    There were quite a few on this board convinced Herman was the man in the spring of 2019 before the lesson in epistiemic humility they received last fall.

    One of the best movies of the decade, imo. Baker does an excellent job of depicting poverty by emphasizing the structural over the personal. The protagonist is neither a hero nor a villain, just someone trying to negotiate the circumstances of her life.

    lol no we’re just dumb as dirt. We will lie down and take anything from our betters. South Koreans have the gumption to throw their corrupt politicians in prison but they are smart enough to wear masks and practice social distancing.

    I follow a FB page for the rural country in which I lived during high school, and it is astounding to read the threads in that group pertaining to COVID. Someone will post something about the hospitalization spike and i will be followed by a tidal wave of hoopleheads parroting the same talking points (surely coming from FNC) about how its not a big deal and actually the spike is due to faulty data. The power to propagandize that our large media institutions hold is something to behold.

    Dumbest country on the planet.

    I don't think referring to himself as a dumbass will get the job done. Going to need him to don sack cloth and self-flagellate a while.

    Why would there be expanded playoffs in 2021? There are too many playoff teams as is.

    I don't think the problem is intractable. I just don't think going after the police is the way to address the problem - it's trying to treat a disease by treating one symptom of the disease.

    A big part of the problem with BLM, like with Occupy, is that there is no real leadership or concrete organization through which demands could be made. You can create energy through such a structure but eventually the energy will peter out and nothing of real substance will be accomplished. However, I think it would be inappropriate to consider it only as a entirely disassociated movement or hashtag - there are several activist groups that operate under the BLM banner, including the activists who proposed Campaign Xero.

    I think it is fair to critique BLM. Particularly that as an activist group it has failed to provide any kind of concrete vision to address the issues it serves to amplify in the public consciousness. You could also argue that the premise of reforming or defunding the police is wrongheaded and while some good could be done, the project is destined to fail to achieve the goal of substantially reducing state sanctioned violence directed against blacks. Police perform a necessary function in our society (as it currently exists) and the violence and terror created by the police is part and parcel of that function.

    What did Orca post that was racist? I missed this.

    An interesting perspective on the application of state sanctioned violence in this country. https://nonsite.org/editorial/how-racial-disparity-does-not-help-make-sense-of-patterns-of-police-violence-2

    Well, this sentiment is precisely the problem I was targeting in my first post. Simply reshuffling the deck, if that were even possible, isn't going to reduce the amount of immiseration in our society. All it could do, and this is what I believe liberals are really after, is to further legitimize that immiseration.
