if you or I pulled shit on 1/10000th the scale, we'd probably go to prison

Yeah. Such is life. I wonder how much of the problem was caused by government regulations/incentives. It’s hard to tell. Obviously the businesses screwed up.

it's nearly always a combination

of incentives and businesses taking shortcuts

Yeah.

That’s true.

Hm. Forced sexual harassment awareness training from my college.

Where they list "Acceptability of pornography" as one of the main reasons for sexual violence.

lel

Plus: "If you ever doubt our community acceptance of the objectification of women, use of coercion, or tolerance for violence, you only need to look at the media. Movies, music, and social media reflect our community tolerance of these kinds of behaviors and beliefs.

Individuals who endorse or support these factors are at more risk of perpetrating sexual violence than those who do not. If you do not endorse these things, it is important to become an advocate against them."

look up false consciousness and it all makes sense :^)

All I can think of at the moment is Angry Joe back when gamgergate first happened. "Cmon guys they're not coming for your violent games or your porn. This is stupid, you're all being dumb."

Jim Sterling also tried to float that nonsense

oh right I need to migrate to subscribestar

I need Matt to gimme my fancy colored name on here.

Just settled for the site directly, also need to grab fancy coloured name

unless that is now a separate thing

which, honestly, makes no difference since I'm busy every wednesday

I was going to do direct support, but I also want to support subscribestar

So they can hopefully stay running and be a long-term patreon alternative

Replika has been "compromised."

who?

I was watching some Jimmy Dore stuff the other day.

What's yalls opinion of him?

https://youtu.be/jS-sxJFn6O0

I ask cause I was watching that and everyone seemed so.... strange.

It makes me think Joe Rogan is some kind of Rorschach test because that wasn't at all how I perceived that episode

same

There also seems to be a lack of self awareness on Jimmy's part, although I don't know his views that well

I feel like he's probably done a lot of the stuff he's making fun of her for, like repeating a talking point he's heard somewhere without really knowing anything behind it

it is funny that they're making some of the same mistakes they accuse Bari of making

and I say that as someone who had to bail out on that episode of JRE

I've been following Jimmy Dore for a while...He is ok.......

The good....Pro-Free Speech, Anti-War, Anti-survalance....Hates the Russia gate thing

The Bad...Says things like "Too many White People voting in the middle of the country", Supports BLM, believes in the Wage Gap, etc....plus believes Abby Martin is a journalists...and not a propagandes..

so he is identarian left? Or at least has sympathies for them

yeah he is Identarian left but doesn't talk about it much. Also tends to be anti-cop

I did see him with Rogan and thought he was interesting, then I watched a few of his things and instantly disliked him. This is probably why.

he called the police at Standing Rock. Stormtroopers
