holy **** one of those impressions is waaaaay off. Jimmy Dore is an unwatchable unfunny twerp person.

I am not anti-Russia. I love Russia and Russians and mazeltov to them all. Except Putin and the Oligarchs and their international machinery. Russia's potential as a progressive ally ended when an ex-KGB spy with ambitions of world domination took over.

I think the 2016 election is invalid and Trump is not a legitimate President. Putin and the Oligarchs ("Russia") coordinated a successful cyberwarfare operation against this election, with the full knowledge of the Trump campaign (DJTjr email). I'll settle for seeing the moron out of office but in any decent democracy we would throng the streets demanding a new election.

I think this kind of projection evidences your desire to distance yourself from the sins of your ideology's recent expression, and this globalist narrative is a convenient back-alley.
Your Freudian analysis--in this regard at least--is severely lacking as my anti neocon and anti globalist roots go back more than a decade.

I'll also ask, what has DJT done that you disagree with? What has he done to combat the globalists? What has he even said, since being elected, that even acknowledges that globalism is a thing?
Well this is really a pretty open ended question. There is a lot i disagree with. And a lot that looks not good. So we'll see what happens.

it's some other poster im confusing you with who kinda likes jimmy dore.... or someone else entirely. too many drugs

and good opinion on russia, except i'd guess that russia's interference in the 2016 election is no more than you could expect, and probably less than usa interference in russian elections.

might have been me, filthy. I do not think Jimmy Dore is funny but I do watch his youtubes once a week or so and he has an interesting take on what is going on in US.

I just watched an interview with James Damore, the guy fired from Google, and his firing now appears to me even more legitimate.

His purpose was intentionally to frustrate the directed efforts of the company he worked for, and he did so using company infrastructure, essentially attempting to foment an insurgency from within the company.

The sexism/whatever content is almost irrelevant to the wrongful termination claim for me, at this point.


If this guy thinks Google is giving unfair employment advantages to women, he can write a letter to the EEOC or any number of private activist groups. Instead he attempted a cultural mutiny.


I haven't read the memo itself, but in the interview he mentions that his point was not that women are biological predetermined to be inferior coders but that the big business culture is predominately oriented towards or rewarding of archetypal male character traits to the detriment of women generally.

Based on a cursory web search, this recent take is probably a watered-down, cleaned up version, but it is an interesting conversation point nevertheless.

Bottom line: the withered Y chromosome is a shrivelled and warped mutation, clinging to the side of humanity poisoning everything it touches in its bitter quest for self aggrandisement

I listened to a Ben Shapiro interview the other week. Never again.

EDIT: bandwagoning the twitter 'unpopular opinions' trend from the weekend, I've got a bit of time for Sam Harris, but he's definitely got a bit of the vulcan/data about him.

Sam Harris tries to recode his racism by cloaking it as rationality. The last time I heard his voice, he was saying that it's perfectly rational not to want to get on an elevator with a black person (really). The climax to the story came with a personal anecdote that Sam once knew a white lady who was scared to get on an elevator with a black guy but got on anyway because she felt guilty and, "it didn't end well".

**** that guy.
10-19-2017 , 01:03 PM
There’s definitely a probability I’m wrong about him.

OCGA 16-11-39 Disorderly Conduct

(a) A person commits the offense of disorderly conduct when such person commits any of the following:

(3) Without provocation, uses to or of another person in such other person's presence, opprobrious or abusive words which by their very utterance tend to incite to an immediate breach of the peace, that is to say, words which as a matter of common knowledge and under ordinary circumstances will, when used to or of another person in such other person's presence, naturally tend to provoke violent resentment, that is, words commonly called "fighting words";

Sam Harris is alright but no dennett. Generally makes good reasoned points. Amp is a wacko at this point and not sure why he's allowed to promote violence.
10-19-2017 , 07:25 PM
Since the "me too" thing I've seen a couple articles about men hanging out without women or excluding women being sexist. Also some things about how men should realize their rapey nature and act accordingly around women.

Why do some women allegedly think they have some inherent right to be friends with men, and is this significantly different than the beta males who think they are entitled to a women's pussy?

Why do women want to hang out with those they view as rapists so much?

Google having cause to fire the guy is interesting, just like kapernick or the Vegas shooter woman or Kathy Griffin or whoever. It depends if we want to treat people reasonably and like real people and have principles or not.
10-19-2017 , 09:28 PM
Good question, why are some women alleged to believe they have a right to have male friends? And how is friendship different than access to someone else's sexual organs?

Yeah I dunno man. Demanding the right to someone else's autonomy is pretty bad IMO.
