Shem thinks that specific SocJus claims which are proven false never matter, what matters is the "criticism of power dynamics" and if you refute specific claims you're not sophisticated enough to get what feminism is all about :ugeek:free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑The whole "scientism" thing is a pile of crap.

His contention is that scientism is the idea that science is the only way of getting knowledge.
I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. For instance, pretty much everyone has a way of knowing that they need to take a shit, is there anyone that they think they need to apply the scientific method?

Assange was celebrated as a hero by the far left, while George W. Bush was called Hitler. Now Bush is celebrated and Assange is called a fascist.

His point of contact was a female party official, whom we shall refer to as Sarah (her identity must be protected because of the ongoing legal proceedings).
An attractive blonde, Sarah was already a well-known ‘radical feminist’. In her 30s, she had travelled the world following various fashionable causes.
While a research assistant at a local university she had not only been the protegee of a militant feminist academic, but held the post of ‘campus sexual equity officer’. Fighting male discrimination in all forms, including sexual harassment, was her forte.
How must Sarah have felt to discover that the man she’d taken to her bed three days before had already taken up with another woman? Furious? Jealous? Out for revenge? Perhaps she merely felt aggrieved for a fellow woman in distress.
The two women then instructed Claes Borgstrom, a so-called ‘gender lawyer’ who is a leading supporter of a campaign to extend the legal definition of rape to help bring more rapists to justice.
The whole story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -hunt.htmlEarlier this year, Sarah is reported to have posted a telling entry on her website, which she has since removed. But a copy has been retrieved and widely circulated on the internet.
Entitled ‘7 Steps to Legal Revenge’, it explains how women can use courts to get their own back on unfaithful lovers.
Step 7 says: ‘Go to it and keep your goal in sight. Make sure your victim suffers just as you did.’ (The highlighting of text is Sarah’s own.)
Actually this is part of the shallowness I was alluding to. I happen to dislike the foreign policy actions of the entire American political establishment, although not as much as the Regressive Left pretends to, and the game of first shouting "Hitler!" at any US politician who screws up, then to shout "Hitler!" again at any critic of the US which doesn't play around the Regressive rules is getting annoying.Sunder wrote: ↑ Random thought: Certain segments of the left, especially the regressive left, love anti-American sentiments and those who espouse them, but they also happen to live in America and support American politicians, so they're kind of half-hearted about it. Someone like Assange who lives elsewhere and dislikes the entire American political establishment sounds like a kindred spirit at first until they realize he's not just playing around as they are.
Not many people like to think the world is complicated. Some of the least clever people I know have the strongest opinions. These are the people I keep a long distance from. Most of the people I hang out with probably have 115+ IQs, but a bunch of my buddies have average smarts. Anyway.... the trick is to realize that things are kooky complicated. This is distressing to most people. Not me. I have been an engineer for decades and it is a very humbling occupation. Everyone should have the opportunity to design a pile of tests for a design, review the plan with a bunch of other smart people, and then have everything come out wrong. Wow. WTF. You start to realize that life is a bunch of assumptions that are only correct at a very high level. Dig down deep and you realize how stupid people really are.Kirbmarc wrote: ↑Actually this is part of the shallowness I was alluding to.

I don't think Trump or Bush or Obama were even remotely close to Hitler, or even to Putin or Assad for that matter, in terms of violation of civil rights/crimes, especially not when it comes to US citizens in the US, so the Regressives who think that they live in a fascist state because a moron tweets stupid stuff think that I'm an Evil Shitlord. However I DO think that the US are acting like an empire (just like Russia or China), not like the "leaders of the free world" (there is no such thing), and that they often happen to support complete authoritarian cunts for their geopolitical/economic/lobby purposes, so many Americans who seriously think that their nation is "special" and the "keeper of the international order" think that I'm a Regressive.
Far too many Americans seem to either love the US with an unthinking patriotism or hate it in a chidish and irrational way. Nuance is a rare thing I guess.
If you give Assange at least partial credit for helping Trump get elected there is time yet for him helping start some sort of disaster.At least Assange didn't start a disastrous war that resulted into thousands of lives lost and didn't accomplish anything but to make the Middle East even MORE unstable. I find the new appreciation for Bush a symptom of the shallowness of certain parts of the US left, especially the cultural/Hollywood leftist elites.
There aren't many who haven't.
It's not Friday.
I think that's giving Assange way too much credit.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ Kirbmarc wrote"If you give Assange at least partial credit for helping Trump get elected there is time yet for him helping start some sort of disaster.At least Assange didn't start a disastrous war that resulted into thousands of lives lost and didn't accomplish anything but to make the Middle East even MORE unstable.

I put that little hypothetical together not to state how I think things could have gone (it was off the top of my head), but as an illustration on how the Rey problem could have been obviated with some better exposition. If TLJ had done something like what I wrote, which, as you suggest, could have been done through contemporaneous dialogue rather than flashback, few would have issues with Rey's powers, even though there still would have had consistency issues with what we've seen previously. Within the non-rigorous fantasy realm of Star Wars, it would have been enough. The 'solution' deployed in TLJ does nothing of the sort. Complaints about Rey's powers are still ubiquitous. I partially agree with you that on this particular issue, the debate is about visions of Star Wars. The more hard core fans are deeply into the world building aspect of Star Wars. They want internal consistency and predictability so they can have coherent evidence-based discussions on subjects like ranking who were the most powerful Jedi and Sith in history. The more casual fans are focused on the overarching story and the visuals and the battles and are willing to accept a huge amount of handwaving in the details.jet_lagg wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2017 7:47 amWhat you're writing isn't bad, for a comic or a novel. If it was EU I'd probably enjoy it. As a capital E Episode entry it would make me roll my eyes and walk out of the theater though. Even doing a flashback feels antithetical to the tentpoles of the franchise. I don't think at this level the differences of opinion have much to do with theories about screenwriting but with almost philosophical differences between fans.jugheadnaut wrote:For Rey's abilities to not be nonsensical, she would have to be more than just a garden variety force sensitive. Yes, it's certainly possible within the lore for a powerful force user to be born to randos, and giving her force-aristocratic parentage wasn't the only solution. But it's narratively the cleanest. Let me put my screenwriter's cap on and give you an example:

In this context, I meant the Red Letter Media guys were assuming the viewers of the Nerd Crew video would consider it bad. The user comments on both this and the Half in the Bag video bear this out this assumption. I definitely don't want to be the kind of asshole that thinks their opinion of whether a movie is good or bad is a positive claim that can be conclusively proven rather than something that is essentially subjective.
There is a quite a bit of evidence that Assange has at least been used as a cut out by Putin and that even if indirectly he got the DNC emails from Putin. Assange also has apparently received payment from RT and had a number of appearances on it. He also was behind Snowden heading to Russia with a ton of sensitive secrets.That said, it's still not been clear to me why so many Assange and Snowden enthusiasts on the left are now certain both are Russian operators.
And here: https://www.thenation.com/article/a-new ... -dnc-hack/The original CrowdStrike report, dated Dec. 22, 2016, was revised and reposted on March 23, 2017. (Courtesy of CrowdStrike)
WASHINGTON —
U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revised and retracted statements it used to buttress claims of Russian hacking during last year's American presidential election campaign. The shift followed a VOA report that the company misrepresented data published by an influential British think tank.
In December, CrowdStrike said it found evidence that Russians hacked into a Ukrainian artillery app, contributing to heavy losses of howitzers in Ukraine's war with pro-Russian separatists.
VOA reported Tuesday that the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), which publishes an annual reference estimating the strength of world armed forces, disavowed the CrowdStrike report and said it had never been contacted by the company.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense also has stated that the combat losses and hacking never happened.
Some see overblown allegations
CrowdStrike was first to link hacks of Democratic Party computers to Russian actors last year, but some cybersecurity experts have questioned its evidence. The company has come under fire from some Republicans who say charges of Kremlin meddling in the election are overblown.
And note: The Nation later added some big caveats to the above piece, but didn't retract it, and they did add this:A New Report Raises Big Questions About Last Year’s DNC Hack
Former NSA experts say it wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak—an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system.
By Patrick LawrenceTwitter
AUGUST 9, 2017
That was as of August. Now, I have no idea who hacked the DNC, but I still am not aware of any real evidence it was the Russians, and I still see no real evidence that the Russians are controlling Wikileaks, or even that Wikileaks has Russian documents they are not publishing.The most recent VIPS memo, released on July 24, whatever its technical merits, contributes to a much-needed critical discussion. Despite all the media coverage taking the veracity of the ICA assessment for granted, even now we have only the uncorroborated assertion of intelligence officials to go on. Indeed, this was noticed by The New York Times’s Scott Shane, who wrote the day the report appeared: “What is missing from the public report is…hard evidence to back up the agencies’ claims that the Russian government engineered the election attack…. Instead, the message from the agencies essentially amounts to ‘trust us.’”
http://lawyersgunsmon.wpengine.com/2015 ... -decade-isWhenever Vox wants to defend free trade like an evangelist defends some dude walking on water, it gets Zack Beauchamp to write about it. There was of course the ridiculous fear-mongering about Bernie Sanders column he wrote a month ago, claiming Sanders’ ideas were basically declaring war on the global poor. A couple of weeks ago, Beauchamp decided to interview Gordon Hanson, an economist who has been critical of the excesses of free trade. The interview is designed to reinforce Beauchamp’s point that unrestricted free trade is the greatest thing in human history and that everyone who opposes it is supportive of global poverty. Throughout it, Beauchamp moves on from Hanson’s uncomfortable points and toward the points he himself wants to make. The whole thing reads, and convincingly so to many no doubt, as a strong defense that the present system of free trade through unrestricted globalization is the key to ending global poverty.
Presumably you are endorsing RT and Putin's murders of journalists and his domination of the press. If so you are an idiot.So I remember first learning about Russia Today, and I thought, who the hell would appear on Russia Today?
Jesus, that was a completely stupid or dishonest misrepresentation of what I said. IE, you misquoted me, either because you are drunk, an idiot, or an asshole.Guest said:Presumably you are endorsing RT and Putin's murders of journalists and his domination of the press. If so you are an idiot.So I remember first learning about Russia Today, and I thought, who the hell would appear on Russia Today?
If you have a problem with Putin appeasers, take it up with Larry King, Chris Hedges, Thom Hartmann, Jesse Ventura, and Adam Kokesh and all the other guests on Russia Today.But then it seemed, EVERYONE appeared on Russia Today, capitalists, socialists, libertarians, including Larry King, Chris Hedges, Thom Hartmann, Jesse Ventura, Adam Kokesh, so I don't understand the claim that Assange being paid by Russia Today is a huge mark against him.

The mainstream US news media work very hard to report what is happening without an agenda. Some people want to tell you an apple is a banana. But it's not. It's an apple.
