Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[Parthenos]

The conservatives didn't so much give up on the culture war so much as they were on the wrong side of it in the 80's and 90's and it cost them dearly in the 2000's. The Republican Party fought the culture war and lost badly because the GOP was dominated by fundies and neocons from the Reagan years up until after 2016.

Now the Woke Left has filled the same niche that the Religious Right once did.

Agreed to a point although I wouldn't insult conservatism by comparing it to punk rock. I'm not a conservative but comparing them to something as pretentious and overrated as punk is way too insulting.

If anything, the massive praise and lionization of punk culture is a prime example of astroturfing by the left.

The problem is that it's hard to verbalize the phrase "counterculture" without comparing it to punk in people's brains. Even though modern punk is a hollowed out shell of what it stood for and has become nothing more than an aesthetic, it's a good shorthand for describing those people who are flouting taboos against the system and the Man, man.

The only problem is that liberals have become the system and the Man, though they tilt at ideological windmills to convince themselves otherwise. All these people bragging about burning shit down are just proving the point.

I'm saying this as someone who likes the aesthetic and the music. I've seen someone in a punk band have his parents, both about 40-50 years old attending the show like they were at his school recital and nodding in approval. Nothing really crystallized it for me better than that.

I have to wonder if we're getting to the point of metastatizing peak woke, though. People are rioting in the streets about idpol. I have no idea how far these people will push themselves before they run out of gas.

Welcome to identity politics. And if you disagree, you're a white incel neckbeard.

Been dealing with that for a long time.

What the fuck is this bitch even on about?

In any case I think Mitch McConnell needs to show some grace and admit he was wrong in 2016 and concede that judges should be appointed at the time of vacancy. It's the right thing to do.

Shove that new judge in without lube, motherfucker.

The problem is you cannot even compare these two scenarios. The Democrats didn't have a majority in the Senate to begin with, any leftist nominee replacing THE biggest conservative judge in the court was going to die in the Senate. This time the Republicans have the Presidency and the Senate, if Democrats had the senate back in 2016, Obama would have rammed it through just as Trump is about to do.

I mean yeah I'd still want abortion rights, I don't exactly want my straight and bi female friends to die horribly or be forced to give birth to unwanted kids. Condoms aren't 100% either. Shit, I've heard horror stories about women getting pregnant even after using multiple forms of birth control at once (like condoms plus pills plus plan B).

A&H regulars are proof of why the US needs to mandate comprehensive sex ed everywhere.

Yeah I'm sure you heard like 2 stories on reddit that were totally true.
You have a higher chance of being hit by lightning like 5 times in a row than that happening.

You're seriously gonna sit here and whine about comprehensive sex ed when you probably don't even use any protection and just demand an abortion whenever a rando knocks you up. I know what I do because of mandated sex ed you mongoloid.

Get fukked lol
but use a condom this time

But hey, come to think of it I actually like your knife idea. Do that, get sent to prison, and stay there so none of us have to deal with your dumb posts.

They are following a religion. They will push as far as their God wills. And I do mean this unironically.

I wonder if they ever regret things they've said in the past?

The writers for this season really know what they are doing holy shit! AND ITS NOT EVEN OCTOBER YET! Still, this *should* hello the dems out. Energize the base and left leaning people who wanna make sure women can kill their unwanted babies. I don't see how pushing through a nomination is ever a good look on the republican side so Cocaine Mitch's statement isn't too hot imo.

Before she died i was certain Trump was going to win. Now that she's dead, I've dropped to almost confident he will. Exciting times.

This thread is about RBG, and not Roe V. Wade being on the chopping block. Would you mind addressing Ruth's stance that the age of consent should be reduced to 12 since you're so concerned about child molestation?

That's fucked. Got a source?

 

[TheProdigalStunna]

TBH, I wish the bitch and lived until AFTER the election. If the mess is contested, the primary arbitration body will be itself contested. 2020 is not done with us my fellow American kiwis.

No joke, whatever happens in November and the aftermath, it will be a goddamn disaster. I was already fully expecting Bush V. Gore x10, now it's x100. Hold onto your butts, boys.

Well, there's a chance of it not working, so why use it anyway, right?

Imagine believing some nonsensical story about a woman getting pregnant despite three separate forms of birth control and then continuing on with an abortion rather than quitting fucking with a supernatural child

Holy hell are you stupid

If she wants a civil war then fine.

I have never shot anyone with a 5.56 hollow point or .308 soft tip but if she want to volunteer...

What say you fellow Kiwi's?

Shall I break out my M&P 15 Tactical or my Springfield Scout Squad?

This is semi off topic but I'm having serious trouble finding good info. Assume for the moment that a new justice is confirmed before January by Trump, but also, Biden wins.

Would it actually legal/possible for them to pack the court, or is that just a meme?

If the President controls the Senate and the House they can add as many Justices they want. However, it's consider very bad practice.

As in civil war bad practice to pack the courts.

Like a few others I had a really ominous feeling when I got a bump update for this thread. There's no way, I thought. I was wondering why we hadn't had a happening in September yet. This is as good as any I guess. Tomorrow's sure to be a real treat. Imagine if we get treated to a double feature Trump election win and SC appointment really close to each other. I didn't pay that much attention to Kavanuagh's confirmation but I'll for sure be looking forward to this upcoming one.

Yeah it's not like people won't lie and say "oh I was on the up and up and being careful but it's like lightning struck!". Especially if they're hysterical women who will actively try to change reality around them out of pure spite.

I was trying to make a clever joke, but yeah, it'll be super funny when Trump crams that judge in there. It'll be extra funny if he wins reelection and goes, "see, would have happened anyway."

Hate to break it to you but what you speak of isn't new at all. Not even to Eisenhower. Ever heard of "the Gilded Age"? Vanderbilt? Rockefeller? Carnegie? Morgan?

It isn't a "complex" and more of a status quo with powerful people leading society.

I am not just discussing "Powerful People" leading. I am talking about an entrenched autonomous bureaucracy that exists only to provide profit to itself, the Leaders do profit immensely but even the cogs in the wheel of said machine continue live better off than most of the people in the working class.

Eisenhower was speaking specifically about military matters. He gave zero fucks about Walt Disney or whoever peddling consumer good garbage.

Yes, and I am saying that he was looking -far- to narrowly at it.

There were threads on this very forum this week showing how far the Military Industrial Complex has spread, the former NSA Head is now on the Amazon Board, and the General who is now speaking against Trump for wanting to end the Afghanistan conflict has a book deal, does work with universities and is on the board of a charity.

The dangers he talked about were all 100% Correct, and nobody listened so that cancer has spread to..as far as I am concerned everything.

Academia, Entertainment, The Military, the Letter Agencies, NGOs, Tech and I would guess many companies. Look at how that stupid Bail out fund during the start of the most recent Riots went. Millions of Dollars donated..a couple of hundred used for "bails"..and the rest just fucking poofed into the Aether.
