But the path was walked down initially because of that

Not all of Cali's laws, but the open carry one, originally. Because the black panthers where using their open carry rights to scare off the police, who they viewed as racist (at the time, probably were)

Yeah probably tbh lol

Basically citizens defending their community so of course commiefornia would go "we can't have that"

XD

Did Adam end the episode on some BS like "we need *"common sense"* gun restrictions"

Like i said, not awful. All things considered, more pro-gun than I was expecting. And relatively fair to both sides. Technically yes, he did say there are some "common sense" things but ultimately the answer was "not enough data to really say what, and things proposed don't work."

Oh

Well

Wouldn't expect that from Adam Conover lol

Guess he's more center left on that issue then

Kind of like Tim almost lmao

It's convenient that the "main problem" appears to be a lack of federal control.

At least to that one really effeminate looking dude on the TV s

Yeah, give Trump more power.

Genius, man.

Lmao

Kind of an odd conclusion there

It's a good thing Trump won't allow any BS gun restrictions to pass under his administration

He's either toying with or has pushed for a bump stock ban, and has tried to talk about gun legislation earlier this year.

That's an issue he's still clearly kept his Democratic roots on.

Hm

Yep, said the ban is happening and is in its final stages.

I like most of his policies, but he's being a real pill with this one.

Yeah I agree I'm not loving this with him but I was thinking a bit more long term

*Look at how smart I am about the Nazis*

*I'll just ignore how the Nazis used contemporary issues and alarmism to consolidate government control. That may reflect poorly on how my political tribe is trying to use contemporary issues and alarmism to consolidate government control* -Twitter smart man

XD

honestly watching shan's videos is almost unbearable
something about the way he speaks is just extremely irritating
going "erhm" "uhm" "ah" every three words and speaking so incredibly slow as though you're too stupid to process if he speaks too quickly

good morning guys!

well 10

Ohayo

It’s also dangerous to use the Nazis as a parallel for everything.

yeah

shaun and a bunch of other people like him love to call everything and everyone right of center nazis

>complains about NPC meme dehumanizing leftists
>proceed to dehumanize conservatives by calling them all nazis

Hell, I’ll admit I associate too many things with communism and socialism.

I just wish people would let conflict theory die.

IT FAILED!

conflict theory?

The Marxist idea of class conflict that modern leftists have expanded to include race and gender.

That's intersectionality lel

Though i don't think that started of as a marxist thing

Intersectionality is Frankfurt-School Marxism, isn't it?

That should still die.

No, no

That's postmodernism @devpav

Truth isn't real

Everything is a power hierarchy

I don't think Derrida is tied directly to the Frankfurt School.

That's the Frankfurt school

*Slaps @Abel*

Commie.

I don't actually believe those lol

I know, just needed to let that out.

The people who wrote the grievance studies papers wrote really good articles about postmodernism

That it’s little more than sophistry and hollow words?

https://t.co/7zLLiikyOk

Yep.

Postmodernism is cancer upon the West and intellectualism as a whole.

How so?

There are objective truths.

Past events show a clear line of cause and effect.

There are natural laws that must be obeyed.

It's the idea proposing objectivity and the concept of truth is a lie

It's so flexible that it's basically bulletproof

Postmodernists deny those facts and embrace a world of pure subjectivity.

For example "There are no natural sex differences, there are only docile bodies"

Objective facts include that the solar system is heliocentric, the Earth is round, murder is wrong, rape is wrong, cannibalism is wrong, eating dogs is wrong, etc.

No amount of cultural relativism or sociology will ever convince me that eating dogs is morally right or civilized.

You can’t change my mind on this.

wait until you are starving

I’d sooner eat my toes and ring fingers than eat my dog.

The amount of obsession both for and against Jordan Peterson is bizarre

I find the against more bizarre than the for

Lol. I was just about to say "He generally explains when he's giving an opinion vs facts. Whats so controversial about giving facts?"

I must have had a stroke

We exist in an era where basic search for meaning and self improvement is downplayed in favour of forming attachment to your flaws

It's basically the only era where Peterson could be as relevant as he is

Yeah right? I mean why on Earth would I have thought "it's not controversial". I live in a time where people are so narcissistic they pretend to be empathetic

By talking about "muh oppression" that they more than likely don't actually experience

I'm no intellectual though.

I'm just some normie

You can tell when people are actually empathetic because they will approach the issues of someone they don't agree with from an outside perspective, even if at the end of the day they don't agree with that process

There's a Saudi in the church for the bush service

Wow. Michelle and Barrak just shake hands with Trump?

Twitter is full of apathy

Oh probably

It’s a funeral.

There's still a level of decorum

Still though. I half expected it to be stupidly partisan even there

I'm just surprised the decorum is there still

That's nice at least

Death is different than politics

Also, I watched the video about Bush’s dog last night, and I’m confused by that one report that didn’t understand that dogs are capable of mourning.

I think Trump hates political decorum, but when it comes to personal issues he'll play by the rules

Cannot believe jimmy Carter is still alive

I have less bad things to say about Bush than I did McCain, so I’m more willing to let people mourn.

I think I wanna tour the national cathedral. It's only an hour away

Do it.
