Ultimately, the main culprit of all of this is bad parenting. I really don’t think parents do enough these days to teach their kids to question things. We have too many people that are complacent in whatever they’re told (whether it’s by written or audiovisual media). I also really don’t like the trend of parents forcing kids to parrot their own ideologies so that they can get clout on social media. Just today, Tess Holliday was bragging about how her four year old supports BLM:

No parent should ever have the expectation of their kids aligning with them politically. You can still teach your kids about politics without it being propaganda (such as how the US government operates), but parents like these are solely focused on their kids having the same politics as them (which isn’t fair to kids because kids will do many things to gain approval from their parents).

Yeah, none of these things happened and even if they did it won't help you or your children when some black guy mugs you at gunpoint/breaks into your house at night.

Being "one of the good ones" doesn't matter to those people.

I wonder if they also tell their kids that leaders of Burn Loot Murder have described them as "genetic defects", "subhuman" and "racist". I mean you can't believe these kids are both "innocent" and "hatred, bigotry, etc. is all taught" whilst in the next breath support statements that all White people are inherently racist.

No, sorry it is terrible. Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy is what happens when you try to create a popsci tv show in Current Year +5, complete with erasing part of the old show that showed something scientifically accurate but is now problematic. Online doesn't fare much better. "I Fucking Love Science!" gets mocked mercilessly because it's the Buzzfeed of scientific related things. It doesn't care that it consistently gets things wrong as long as it's flashy enough to catch people's attention and get clicks.

Getting people interested in science is a good thing, but I have no faith in any pop science thing created now not getting politicized instantly. These things were supposed to get people interested so they would learn more by themselves, but nowadays people would just not do that second part at all.

Is Bill Nye the guy who did that kid's cartoon where a straight person is raped into being gay?

Yeah, none of these things happened and even if they did it won't help you or your children when some black guy mugs you at gunpoint/breaks into your house at night.

This will never not be funny.

 

[Pointless Pedant]

That’s probably the scariest thing about this. Social media and the increasing Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime hegemony is helping create entire generations of Moviebobs. If they do learn history, it’s from a documentary (which isn’t bad, but books are a mainstay for a reason). If they learn science, it’s from some popsci tv show or documentary (again, not terrible, but there’s a reason science students rely on books and studies). If people do read these days, it’s only headlines and Tweets that agree with their worldview. It’s truly shameful how much society has changed for the worse in some ways. I’m not against people learning through documentaries and various tv shows, but when that’s all you use, it’s pretty bad.

This is where I get the impression that people here don't really go outside.

Most zoomers are absolutely nothing like Moviebob, at all. Obviously it varies by country but people hotboxing their cars and getting busted for illegal raves is more common than people sitting around screaming about Marvel on Twitter here (Britain). Part of the reason Moviebob is funny is because he's utterly out of touch with the general public. Barely anyone is like this, except the 1-2% of society who are autistic.

University courses still recommend book lists, and even in the department of videos I'd say people like Everyday Astronaut and Isaac Arthur produce very high quality content. In history, The Great War channel is one of the defining records of that era and recommends several books about it, though I'd recommend caution with less credible people who don't cite many sources, like Lindybeige and Dan Carlin.

To be fair, many people on this site always go towards the cliche "Niggers have low IQ, that's why they have 13/50" science trope to justify their racism.

Well now we have the massive chimpout and CHAZ shit to point to as to why were "racist".

 

[Pointless Pedant]

Seattle is unusually white for a major US city. Non Hispanic whites are about 2/3 of the population, blacks only 8%. The current state of central Chicago is a much better example of that, with CHAZ more being about the failures of attempted left wing revolutions. Most Pacific Northwest antifa are white, probably an overwhelming majority even.

Blacks were involved in the CHAZ murders but those probably wouldn't have happened without all the white revolutionary LARPers "helping".

 

[AnOminous]

I'm not a lawyer, but @AnOminous knows a lot about the law.

From what I know, the songwriters would get royalties from any covers. Wikipedia lists the entire band as the song writers. I don't think the writers nor the publisher of the song can do anything to prevent people from covering your track. I'm pretty sure the band nor the record label take down a cover of their song. Especially since its not sampling any part of the original. LP can Hee and Haw all they want, but Trump supporters are free to cover their songs all they want.

Remixes aren't generally the same as covers, and are considered a derivative work. Sampling in particular is ridiculously problematic.

Covers, though, are surprisingly rationally covered by a provision of the law called mechanical licensing where if you simply file and pay a statutorily defined royalty to the copyright holder, you can cover the work all you like. This really should be how all derivative works are handled but instead we have the giant mess we have now.

It seems like every election cycle has some politician using some band's song and the band is saying you're an absolute piece of shit, don't use our music. But if you're okay with the bad press and you don't mind just being a scumbag using a band's song when the band hates you and everything you stand for, go ahead and be a fat piece of shit and do that, they can't really stop you.

One of the most common ones I seem to remember happening all the time is pretty much any politician using "Born in the U.S.A." by Springsteen. Have you motherfuckers even listened to that song? Do you know what it means? It doesn't mean what you think it does.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

CHAZ more being about the failures of attempted left wing revolutions

CHAZ saw two kids get gunned down, basically on camera, with everybody covering up for the murderer. It was a dumpster fire started in the name of "Black Lives Matter" that only got shut down because they started going after the mayor. Black people don't give a fuck about black people, so why should I?

 

[Flexo]

You could say he's a moderate. His dad was highly conservative. His character has touched on immigration, he has a gun safe, he doesn't watch Fox News, he clashes with his son about societal norms for males.

He's something else entirely. He's ... Complicated.

He has a low tolerance for bullshit. This makes him conservative.

I’d say that the Internet can’t homogenize entire generations- instead, it has the ability to homogenize likeminded subsectors of the generation.

LOL thats a load of horseshit.
Kids are the most deadass homophobes around.

Spoiler: 2 Autistic Anecdotes

1) I was at the pool and there was this little boy, maybe 7-9, 10 at the oldest, playing in the shallow end. At some point the lifeguard/pool attendant girl starts picking up trash and stacking chairs and this little kids glaze becomes glued to her ass.
Within the next few minutes, what I presume was an attempt to impress the girl, three dudes in highschool right by our seat decide to start wrestling on the (sun-heated lol) pool deck. Of course "wrestling" just involved three shirtless dudes grabbing and climbing over each other. The little kid turns and looks and the dudes and his face was just straight-up shock and grossed out, then turned back to staring at the pool girl's butt.

Not that the dudes "wrestling" were gay, but the sight of 3 dudes on top of one another just invoked this raw sense of disgust and discomfort in the little kid's demeanor.

2) I was walking with my young cousin at this boardwalk/pier/boatlanding/park thing and there happened to be a gay wedding going on. My 7y/o cousin comes out of the bathroom as I'm watching the sunset over the river and I hear him loudly shout "WAIT TWO BOYS CANT GET MARRIED! THATS GROSS!" and I didn't want to cause a scene, so I grab his hand and I'm like "hey lets go over here" but he continues to (loudly) shoot me questions like "Can two boys make a baby?", "EWWWW THE BOYS ARE KISSING!", "Why would they want to kiss a boy?" and finally I saw a watersnake in the shoreline grass and distracted him with the snake.

But I just then realized my aunt or grandmother had never said a word to him about gays (why should they?); his reactions and opinions to witnessing a waterfront gay wedding were entirely his own and conceived of his own thoughts and opinions about this new idea he had never heard of.

TL;DR: Left to their own devices without Mommy & Mommy's Husband teaching them otherwise, kids will naturally be grossed out by homogay

I mean... you're not completely wrong, but I've interacted with enough younger folks to just see... a staggering lack of historical knowledge or curiosity.

Even the Atlantic commented on this with people losing references to the Bible.

Democrats Have a Religion Problem

A conversation with Michael Wear, a former Obama White House staffer, about the party’s problems with conservative Christians

amp.theatlantic.com

He once drafted a faith-outreach fact sheet describing Obama’s views on poverty, titling it “Economic Fairness and the Least of These,” a reference to a famous teaching from Jesus in the Bible. Another staffer repeatedly deleted “the least of these,” commenting, “Is this a typo? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Who/what are ‘these’?”​

Either way this is all pretty dumb since Trump didnt create it, just retweeted it.

I'd say they should neck themselves but Chester already did.

It's endlessly hilarious to me how all these bands that built their brand on being edgy, hardcore, and offensive are also so desperate to be good little liberals that they instantly light the Virtue Signal on issues like this. "We just sang about murdering people 'cause we're in a bad mood, fam, but being even vaguely associated with Republicans is too far!" I mean it's not like everyone hasn't known all these dudes are phonies for decades, but seeing it in action is still so eyeroll-worthy.

That's actually a really good read, and allow me to quote something at the end of the article. Emphasis mine.

One of the things I found at the White House and since I left is this class of people who aren’t driving the political decisions right now, and have significant forces against them, but who are not satisfied with the political tribalism that we have right now. I think we’re actually in a time of intense political isolation across the board. I’ve been speaking across the country for the year leading up to the election, and I would be doing these events, and without fail, the last questioner or second-to-last questioner would cry. I’ve been doing political events for a long time, and I’ve never seen that kind of raw emotion. And out of that, I came to the conclusion that politics was causing a deep spiritual harm in our country. We’ve allowed politics to take up emotional space in our lives that it’s not meant to take up.

Certainly, it would be a lot more comfortable for me professionally if I held the party line on everything. Politically, I definitely feel isolated. But a lot of people feel isolated right now. And personally, I don’t feel lonely because I find my community in the church. That has been a great bond.

True then, even truer now. Prophetic, when you think about it.

A lot of people have turned to Twatter and social media for their "community", since religion no longer provided for that role. And it damaged them in incalculable ways.

It was either in this thread or the riot thread, but someone else brought up a good point that I think summarizes a lot of issues in modern society: you can't fix a spiritual problem with a secular solution.

Setting aside the fact that a lot of good and bad has been done in the name of religion over the millennia, humans have evolved with a general need for a belief in something greater than ourselves. That has taken the form of religion pretty much since the dawn of civilization, when things we didn't understand were explained by gods or demons or anything in between. Religion created a sense of cultural cohesion, a common language for people to speak, a shared belief in how the world worked.

But for the past few decades in the West, religion has been demonized as backwards and ignorant, cherrypicking the worst examples of cultists and charlatans to paint the rest of the faithful as hypocritical morons. Religious practice is standing in the way of the fully automated luxury gay space communist utopia, so it has to be destroyed. Fedora tippers gloat over every victory they have over believers, taking almost a sadistic pleasure in antagonizing the faithful whenever they can. As a result, many people today don't even bother with religious services, or maybe they'll say "I believe in something I guess" without making much of a commitment.

The thing is, just because people are increasingly nonreligious doesn't mean that that part of their brain that wants to believe in something is satisfied being ignored. They'll feel that something is missing, but they'll often choose to replace it with something inferior and secular, something worldly. So many people have made politics their new religion, and it's driving them insane. There's no cohesion, nothing greater to believe in, it's a poor and hollow substitute for a belief in a higher power. There's no community to be found when you're arguing with other people all the time. Tying it in to the TDS crowd, it's not a stretch to say that they view Trump as the devil in their new religion. It's even worse than most actual religions when you consider that SJWs don't even believe in the ability to atone for one's sins, especially the original sin of being a straight white male.

I don't care if you choose to be an atheist, and I certainly would not force religion on someone. But I believe the demonization of religion in our society is a major reason for the problems we're seeing today. People need to feel that it's okay to believe in something greater than themselves and not be mocked endlessly for it. Many people are becoming nonreligious out of apathy or fear, not a conscious decision, and I think they're suffering for it.

Hank Hill is trending on twitter. Because someone said Hank would be a Trump supporter and people are saying he wouldn't be one. Who cares. Its a fucking cartoon character. They're not real. This is autistic as fuck. This is an argument I'd expect someone like Chris to make.

Then again, this is pretty apt for these loonies.
