Wishing for a bad person's death to include pain is only OK if there is some connection to his badness and the fact that he endured that pain. In that case it might be a deterrence to others to do similar badness. (Hell doesn't count since there is no way of knowing if he went there due to badness.)

If the pain of his death was not related to his evilness it isn't right to wish it.

So sayeth the Sklansky. Go forth minions and spread the word!

I did not expect David Sklansky to dictate the only true and proper way to respond to death in this thread, but there it is.

romdom's list is actually pretty telling. Milo and Rubin are both alt-right adjacent dip****s(anti-Muslim rhetoric being a big part of their appeal), Shapiro is a movement conservative(hates Muslims tho), Harris isn't very political besides being super racist(and, of course, hugely anti-Muslim), and I don't know about Martin so she may legitimately be leftist. I doubt it, though, actual leftist thought is really rare on the aspergersy Youtube circuit.

And that's what Ailes helped build, the Overton Window being shifted so far that romdom gets Islamaphobic nonsense from at least 4 of his 5 his subscriptions and he never just ****ing reads a newspaper, because newspapers are full of Jew lies that cover up the Islamic menace and black crime.

I have read numerous allegations that he may have died from autoerotic asphyxiation.

isnt harris one of those guys who claims to be a "classic liberal" but really is pretty much just alt-right and supported trump? I cant remember, mebbe that was a different youtube guy.

martins wiki says she was a 9-11 truther and then worked for a russia today branch in usa.

Nah, Harris is anti-Islam but thought Trump was an immediate threat to our nation/the world and campaigned heavily against him.

Harris is a Atheist, he's like a more insufferable and slightly racister Richard Dawkins. I don't think he's political enough to call him alt-right or liberal or anything.


But Ailes is just such a big part of how we get here. The NYT has like, 4 house conservatives. Fox News doesn't have any ****ing liberals, they have "former Dem strategists" whose roll is either punching bag or toady.

But after Trump's election and a widespread populist leftwing street movement, the NYT hired Stephens.

Who is the most prominent Bernie Sanders supporting pundit in America? It's hard to say, right? There was a huge diversity on Fox between the various GOP primary people, including plenty of Trump guys, and as Trump got more popular networks really made an effort to get pro-Trump talking heads screentime.

But the left, which also whines all the time about the media, can't get one ****ing guy.

The main reason most of us try to behave with decorum for a period when someone dies is out of consideration for the bereaved.

During that period, we can chose to say nothing if we have nothing good to say.

Roger Ailes Was One of the Worst Americans Ever:
Fox News founder made this the hate-filled, moronic country it is today


Quote:
We are a hate-filled, paranoid, untrusting, book-dumb and bilious people whose chief source of recreation is slinging insults and threats at each other online, and we're that way in large part because of the hyper-divisive media environment he discovered.

Ailes was the Christopher Columbus of hate. When the former daytime TV executive and political strategist looked across the American continent, he saw money laying around in giant piles. He knew all that was needed to pick it up was a) the total abandonment of any sense of decency or civic duty in the news business, and b) the factory-like production of news stories that spoke to Americans' worst fantasies about each other.

[...]

And when Ailes died this morning, he left behind an America perfectly in his image, frightened out of its mind and pouring its money hand over fist into television companies, who are gleefully selling the unraveling of our political system as an entertainment product.

The extent to which we hate and fear each other now – that's not any one person's fault. But no one person was more at fault than Roger Ailes. He never had a soul to sell, so he sold ours. It may take 50 years or a century for us to recover. Even dictators rarely have that kind of impact. Enjoy the next life, you monster.

Anyone bereaved about Ailes' death deserves no consideration, chezlaw. But thank you for explaining this like people literally were unaware of the social norm to not speak ill of the dead.
No wonder you run the only entirely bigotry free subforum on 2p2!

Adios is still confused about why it's not ok to call Mexicans cockroaches, but he's deeply disturbed about people saying bad things about a disgusting pile of filth.
05-18-2017 , 09:48 PM
Some might say that ruthlessly clowning on and highlighting the evils these people do is a social good because it appears a lot of people were living in a bubble, seeing the facts laid out like that might be the thing they need to make changes in their lives and NOT get the same treatment.

It's a good point and if it's victims of serious crimes we have to have concern for them as well. Otherwise it can easily wait until after a short period.

Claiming the bereaved deserve no consideration remains wow!

In fact, personal attacks detract from open discussion. The key is to always attack ideas and not the person making them. If you have any more questions about this, pm me. I've been doing this since you were wearing pimple cream and spanking it in your parents bathroom. I will tell you what to do.
lolchez, now and forever.

How long do you think was the appropriate consideration time for Hitler?

Indeed. They are recently bereaved. A safe space is exactly what most people would wish to see for them.
05-18-2017 , 10:15 PM
Because Ailes' family is all up on 2p2 reading mean posts.

lolchez


I also think Strummer won't these lyrics for you...

If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
