  • Racism, for example, is a genuine problem. Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one.

    Anyone who uses “the woke” to describe people who give a shit about that sort of thing can safely be ignored.

    Instead of going out into the world and quietly helping members of marginalized groups, the politically correct focused on getting people in trouble for using the wrong words to talk about them.

    Let me translate this bit:

    "Instead of ignoring systemic problems and quietly helping those being hurt by the systemic injustices, reasonable people focused on getting racists in trouble because they choose to continue to be shitheads using slurs’













  • Piracy is quite frequently justifiable, even on common media.

    In our modern landscape, the vast majority of creators don’t see a dime when you view their material, so I have no reason to feel obligated to line the coffers of some conglomerate that’s effectively stealing the artist’s money.

    I’ll pay for niche streaming services (paying for dropout directly helps the cast and crew) and buy merch from artist sites or shows, but I’m not going to feel guilty that downloading an album off a torrent takes away the fractions of a cent that my streams would give when I can pay them directly for a shirt and physical copy of the album if I ever get to see them live.




  • I imagine many members don’t know that much about tax law, the intricacies of the military, or drugs in general. Yet we don’t question their qualifications when they pass legislation on those subjects.

    Speak for your fucking self. I don’t trust our legislature on any of those. These fuckers have been allowing wars that aren’t wars, drug laws that target minorities and political undesirables, and have fucked our tax code over the last 50 years to the point where we’re currently in another guilded age.

    They cannot know everything, no matter how much they pretend. If that is the standard we hold them to, you’ll only get braggadocios assholes who will stand for elections.

    Honestly, I’d love to see them pretend again, instead of the ignorant braggadocios assholes we have dominating elections now who don’t even try to pretend and make everything a culture war.
