He’s right about the ps5 pro tho. Especially now that pssr is better. You get 90% of the way to a 5090 for a quarter of the money. However in doing so you are selling your soul to upscale ai satan and are probably a genocide.

At some point we have to stop giving people like Lithgow any mental latitude, and start understanding them as people who would have Others killed with the press of a button, twice as fast if the button got them paid.

John Lithgow, children’s author, advocate for disadvantaged children’s access to the arts, widely liked good dude, is truly an evil genocidal maniac because he’s playing a wizard in a TV show I don’t like.

Yeah but nothing ever takes advantage of it. Anything beyond a 4070 is a waste of money and even that is often overkill.
There is barely a point from upgrading from PS5 to PS5 Pro and there is even less of a reason to own a 5090 and 96GB of RAM.

well deserved for bombing civilian infrastructure and starting the war to begin with. for some reason we don't call it terrorism, I wonder why 

Because we've never considered states making war to be terrorism. This is why nobody refers to the "Allied terrorism against Nazi Germany" for example.

Era-bot today: We don't hero worship.

I spend too much time online in other political spaces.

One thing I notice is this is this obsession with whataboutery with Obama.

Recently this has been happening with Iran, and how Obama did the same with Libya.

What interesting is that many conservatives see this as a gotcha. Not understanding that you can support a candidate and not be 100 percent in lockstep with what they do.

I generally liked the Obama years, but he was flawed, like any candidate. And the purpose of democracy and our first amendment rights is to vote that way and hold politicians accountable.

But with conservatives it seems like WWE.

There's current chatter about Dem infighting. I like that. We're not sheep. We're a big tent parties. There will be conflicts with the liberal and more leftist components.

This seems anathema to conservatives tho.

I saw the leaked video footage of Tiger Woods saying he was on the phone with the president after being stopped during his recent accident.

Man, I knew Tiger sucked but that just made him sound like a super entitled prick. It's just another version of "do you know who I am?"

Jordan is a known jerk, although it seems he's calmed down with age.

Gretzky is another maga guy. Even his country hates him now; which is wild.

James' criticism included NBA players having nothing to do when teams arrive in Memphis for games.

"In Memphis on a f---ing random ass Thursday," James said. "I'm not like the first guy to even talk about it in the NBA. We all like, 'You guys have to move. Just go over to Nashville.'"

White alone (NH) 23.94%
Black or African American alone  61.28%
Asian alone (NH) 1.82%
Hispanic or Latino (any race) 9.82%

However, as of 2023, Memphis remains one of the largest majority African American cities in the nation.[90]

White (Non-Hispanic) 53.3%
Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) 24.3%
Hispanic or Latino 14.0%
Asian 3.9%

I guess going by all this hard data™ from era, we must conclude that conservatives pick individuals to build up and support, constructing an avengers team of god's strongest warriors, while liberals pick individuals to tear down and shun, leaving only the few pure tolerable ones?

It's funny how this just doesn't apply to a whole swath of Era, the dominant minority if not the majority. Just the other day they were bitching about high level Democrats wanting a big tent party instead of a permanent minority.

The thread further gets into the  

That's part of the projection

It's why they were so giddy when Maher said the n-word all those years ago. They legit thought that he was a hero of "the left" and that we'd be an emotional wreck or something. As if leftists even gave a shit about Maher anyway at that point lol.

It's the difference between basing your political beliefs in white supremacy vs wanting the world to be a better place.

Chuds like to project their cult mentality onto other people.

For Conservatives it is a mob mentality. Everybody is all in as long as that person is Repiblican and everybody has to stay in line no matter what because as soon as a voter starts questioning an action, they get thrown in their face with extremism to reel them back in.

"Well maybe Trump should not have....."

"Better than a commie Democrat! What you want to elect people that will dement your kids!?"

Keep in mind that talk does not only come from right-wing media or uncle Joe. Trump literally calls Democrats the greatest enemy of this country. He literally just said that.

Obama is hero worshipped, and the reaction towards what happened in Libya were quite predictable from the liberals, with their fox like rhetoric of liberation and freeing women

i wouldnt call plunging libya into a decade long civil war, and making it get so bad to the point of slave trade being common, is "flawed", its abhorrent


Americans are shielded from the consequences of their actions, its the only way views like this could ever form

I mean yes, the panic over Obama was real because they imagined a messianic figure to forever unite their enemies.

Some people can't imagine not wanting to be led, to be told what to do, in order to be rewarded for your devotion and loyalty.

The conservative mentality is very childish. It's literally my dad could beat up your dad, type stuff.

OP, exactly it.

Been saying this shit for YEARS.

They thought we worshiped Obama. They thought we felt he could do no wrong. That he was the coolest fucking thing on the planet.

And that BROKE THEM.

So they said "FINE, if liberals can worship their president, SO CAN WE" and this is where we're at.

They love the Trump the way they THOUGHT we loved Obama.

Yup, 100% true. There are very likely liberals or progressives that spin a lot, but for the vast majority, we have no issue with decrying the bad things done by the politicians who are chosen to represent us.

Aye. I'm often amazed that these clowns can't comprehend my ability to criticize Democrats when they are clearly fucking up.

Most Democrats act like adults and don't have shit all over their car, wear clothes and hats, wave fucking flags and make a candidate their entire personality. Because, you know, it's not a cult.

Guy who has never lived near universities.  

Liberal and leftist* spaces absolutely hero worship.

The Bernie candacy periods were absolutely insufferable.
Once Kamala was the candidate, you were swiftly painted as a chud if you expressed doubts about her.
People speak about Mamdani like he's more than simply a city mayor or act like he won't have to compromise to get things done at some point.
Try bringing up the mildest of criticisms about Hasan.

*not the same spaces obviously but there are frequent tactical overlaps

Those same spaces you're referring to will also criticise both Bushes, Romney, McCain etc.
Hell, right now you're kinda engaging in the same behaviour you're criticising, saying they do x and y but this other space would never.

These team sports frameworks just aren't that helpful. Humans/groups are always looking for this one weird trick to solve their problems because that's the dumbness of humanity. Why do actual community organisation/improvement when we can put all our hopes and dreams on a candidate who says the correct left-leaning rhetoric?

 

The denial starts:

So this is different from my example. That's candidate Bernie.

Plus I've seen a lot of pushback to Bernie on the left. His economic outlook lacks racial understanding at times.

My point is that there is critique.

We tried to do it with Biden as well, Darth Brandon or whatever, and gifs of putting sun glasses on. It felt forced though

I mean he's one example. Take Bernie, AOC or internationally Melenchon, Habeck, Corbyn etc. We do the same shit, just that we tend to do it for better people lol

Aoc has a record. She gets shit constantly now for "selling out".

Chuds checking in:

Seriously, saying what the OP said is like saying the left is too smart to fall into the conspiracy theory vortex. We're not a whole lot better than they are when it comes to this shit.

Our recent friend who films himself in his apartment:

I'd say it's highly related to their inability to differentiate between "Left" and "Liberal". Or I guess it all just boiled down to "Those devil worshippers who took away our State's Rights to Own ******s!", with how their minds work and all, I don't know.

These are innate things about the left and the right.
The right believe in hierarchy, so leader cult and not questioning things are a logical conclusion.
The left believe in equal rights, so everybody has an opinion that needs to be heard, hence often they "are in disarray" and the revolution eating itself and what have you.

Guy who has never read any socialists.  

Have we all forgotten about the yas queening of Hilary Clinton lol…

This very site tried to pretend that Kamala wasn't an absolutely atrocious candidate for months on end so I'm not sure about that

If you thought that was bad, should have seen Hilary Clinton discourse on GAF. Unbelievable scenes. They even convinced me at times.

Remember when they cheered being the biggest director to her website?

So I think we have two different threads of discussion here. My point was not electability. You want a likeable candidate. That's fine.

My point was a lack of self criticism. That does seem rarer on the right. I recently found out that a majority of republicans supported the Iraq war even when it was seen as international disaster. That's my point.

I remember Obama getting heat for not prosecuting Wall Street bankers after the Great Recession. This was in his first year. That's what I mean.

I'm not taking about charismatic electoral candidates but politicians with a tenure and record.

AI bot who doesn't remember Trump attacking the Bushes and being rewarded for it while the conservative establishment thought he had severely wounded his campaign.

Cover of the biggest conservative journal in 2016, the names listed on here mattered among Republicans before 2015, most of them don't anymore:

Which is why making vote non mandatory and making it harder to vote is manipulation to make the right stronger

people were easier to not vote on Trump 's rivals because of smaller disputes and this not voting put someone who also had those problems in power

It's because they live unexamined lives. Democrats don't have boat parades or weird rallies. They don't buy the T-shirts or flags to wear or fly long after election season has passed. They dont mind their own being held to account for their own criminal and corrupt actions (Im looking at you Bob Menedez). They don't have their own media outlets that cater to their specific issue de jour in any widespread or meaningful way like cons have Fox or OAN. They vote, take down their signs when the election is over and move on.

Democrats are clearly not perfect, but they don't make their politics their entire identity like Republicans do. That's the difference.

Holy fucking shit.      

Conservatives firmly believe in hierarchy, it colors their every thought. "My (White) race is the best, and must be protected. My (evangelical Christian) religion is the best, and must rule the world. The rich are blessed by God, and I must listen to what they say." It definitely is a cult, hence all of the virtue signaling (clothing with slogans, bumper stickers, flags, etc) that they belong to the in-group. All of the good things that happen to rich, straight, White, Christian men are proper, and natural, and deserved. All of the bad things that happen to racial minorities, the poor, non-Christians, LGBTQ, etc. are natural, and deserved.

Any deviancy from this, any attempt to lift those lower on the social rung, or bring low those high up on the ladder is not only unnatural, but dangerous, immoral, and a sin. Their is an imperative to protect their own, and vehemently attack any threats.

Conservatives think that rest of the world believes in a similar fashion, and they can't understand that leftists are willing to prosecute those for their wrong doing, even leftists politicians (not that any American politician could be described as leftist.)

There's literally not enough  for this forum.

[benji]

I still don't think these dudes have ever understood that the entire reason Trump became a force is because he was the one candidate willing to hate immigrants while the rest of the GOP establishment was under the impression they had to speak in Spanish and pursue amnesty. Steve Bannon understood this because it was simple for anyone who paid attention to know that the GOP base completely disagreed with the party on this and openly despised much of the party leadership as being "liberals", the base literally revolted against them multiple times in the Bush/Obama years*. The Tea Party overthrew a bunch of sitting members* and then tried to overthrow the Congressional leadership. Era acts like none of this even happened.

I shouldn't be surprised considering how much I complain about how their version of literal Nazi history is that Hitler just showed up one day and said mean things about Jews then suddenly the next day was Holocausting the all of Europe he had seized. Of course they think this is how Trump took over the GOP.

*Something Era won't do against Democrats without either hating the guy they just championed like Fetterman/Bernie/Newsom/etc. or fighting over a Blackwater guy with Nazi tattoos.

He's a bigot for not approving an "official," latin translation because he wants to do it himself.  On this day of all days to make that an issue.  Now the latinos and the LGBTQ have to figure out which side are the real bigots.  Summit!

I think the funniest thing is that there's no Spanish translation, but there's also no French, German, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish or any other language translation either. The only languages the games are available in are Japanese and English, because those are the only languages the writer speaks, but somehow this makes him an anti-Hispanic crusader whose crimes against Latin American are only rivalled by Hernan Cortes. Imagine if English speakers called every Japanese game that goes untranslated a racist attack. Even worse imagine if Finnish people did the same thing, every game developer under the sun would be a villain.
