how do you expect the newest brand of anarco-fuckwads to be counterculture?

2018-07-10 18:31:16 UTC  

*not* take the style of every angry mob in the last 40 years?

2018-07-10 18:31:19 UTC  

come on man

2018-07-10 18:31:23 UTC  

well for starters, they would need to be counterculture

2018-07-10 18:31:33 UTC  

the idea of counterculture is weird

2018-07-10 18:31:39 UTC  

like

2018-07-10 18:31:45 UTC  

when being counterculture somehow becomes the culture

2018-07-10 18:31:49 UTC  

then what

2018-07-10 18:31:56 UTC  

it's like when being a hipster became popular

2018-07-10 18:31:58 UTC  

they are not counterculture

2018-07-10 18:32:01 UTC  

it's become its own antithesis

2018-07-10 18:32:10 UTC  

which was the point of my statement

2018-07-10 18:32:17 UTC  

so weird

2018-07-10 18:32:20 UTC  

they are not the counter culture, they are the dominant culture

2018-07-10 18:32:37 UTC  

I don't have the right words here, cauese sometimes I need time to find them, but like

2018-07-10 18:32:48 UTC  

its like a group of mavericks

2018-07-10 18:32:52 UTC  

a fair chunk of these protests are protesting threats that
A) They created
B) don't exist

2018-07-10 18:32:54 UTC  

you can't have such a thing

2018-07-10 18:32:56 UTC  

would false flag be a good term?

2018-07-10 18:33:10 UTC  

pointless would be a good term

2018-07-10 18:33:14 UTC  

lmao

2018-07-10 18:33:23 UTC  

was listening to a discussion podcast yesterday

2018-07-10 18:33:42 UTC  

two guys reacted to an article telling the left to be more polite with opposing viewpoints and it was kinda cancery to hear them both

2018-07-10 18:34:03 UTC  

one guy was on about how he's from trump territory and as *an gay* he's against this fascist whtie supremacest hurdur

2018-07-10 18:34:19 UTC  

and the other was also *an gay* who teaches his male students that they're part of the oppressive system

2018-07-10 18:34:22 UTC  

it was a real shenanigan

2018-07-10 18:34:26 UTC  

"It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead,
This moment the dawn of humanity,
The last ride of the day"

2018-07-10 18:34:41 UTC  

good podcast overall, though. the idea of the cast is to get two people in an argument (or sometimes, the host vs one of his haters) and talk it out

2018-07-10 18:34:48 UTC  

it's called Conversations with people who Hate me

2018-07-10 18:35:07 UTC  

it's like... bringing the comment section to an actual verbal discussion

2018-07-10 18:35:15 UTC  

and how doing that magically seems to make everyone less of a reactionary fuckwad

2018-07-10 18:35:24 UTC  

`Imagine My Shock`

2018-07-10 18:35:29 UTC  

lmao

2018-07-10 18:35:38 UTC  

the host's a bit irritating sometimes though

2018-07-10 18:35:47 UTC  

he's a flamboyant *le gay* voice actor and activist

2018-07-10 18:35:48 UTC  

its almost like, when you treat people as people, they react like people!

2018-07-10 18:36:04 UTC  

but he's super good at getting to the meat of each participant's issues

2018-07-10 18:36:41 UTC  

actually, turns out he did a ted talk about what he does

2018-07-10 18:36:51 UTC  

He's also a voice actor in the podcast Welcome to night Vale

2018-07-10 18:37:13 UTC  

he's a bit of an annoying LGBT-leftie "look at my activism go" guy but he's got heart
