Kimkatya in: The Thread That Wouldn't Die

echo chamber ramblings

    • was initially writing this in the social media thread but it got a bit wordy. was in response to the stupid Globe and Mail bluesky echo chamber article

    we all construct our own realities. the only way to achieve a true echochamberless location is to embrace the sweet release of death; the void cannot express opinions about climate change.

    there is no such thing as an unbiased state, and the most mature thing you can do in that situation is to embrace your principles while questioning your priors.

    i find this endless backpatting for “listening to the other side” to be quite malevolent. as time has gone on it has developed the perspective that the general centrist conception of being post-ideology is a deluded one. i am of the position that ideology lives and changes but cannot die. every attempt from moderate forces in the west to nurture a self-reinforcing cyclical moderate politics has resulted in the ideological radicalisation of conservative values in the right-wing parties. it thinks the more time has gone on, the more fair it has become to be directly confrontational within a liberal democratic context, and to stop pretending that, functionally, these values are cardinally important to people, even if they don't realise they have them. To listen to the other side is fine in a vacuum, to agree with the other side is fine in a vacuum, but as we haven't all suffocated to death, we are not in a vacuum.

    this is all very high concept and theoretical but when it comes down to it, the globe and mail article is propagandisation, along the same lines of writing about the dangers of runaway cyclists. there are much, much bigger problems here, colossal ones, but instead of trying even in the smallest way to address those, you needle the people trying, in the smallest way we can, to change the ecosystem. it is a big act of closing your eyes and going LALALA as if that will make the monsters go away.

    • as far as i can tell as to british futbol, there are infinite teams, only about 50 of them are competent, only about 15 of them are rich enough to do anything with that competence and only about 6 of them can win the league for approximately for the next fifteen years

    this is near exactly like college football, but then at least you either have bowl season or are ndsu
     
    dr. ivo “eggman” robotnik has been trying to stripmine one planet for generations. you’d think it’d be obvious mobius is financially not worth the hassle, but i guess he’s been trying to stripmine the planet so long he views it as a sunk cost and therefore can’t cut and run

    that is an ollie into an FS Crooked onto a rail before ollieing into a pop shove-it into a 5-0 grind and then an ollie into a manyal. all of this must be timed more exactly than most combos its done in a fighting game. fuck you dragon punch

    Never forget that Mao often called Kissinger til his death to ask permission to pray to God and that if he could he’d be a CDS/CSU voter,a Tory or a UMF supporter,viewing his followers in the West as idiots and losers.

    Sidenote but it’s odd how much Churchill and Eden got along with Mendes-France despite completely opposing political beliefs, they and Dulles were sad that he wasn’t PM after 1955.

    Trying to work out if there's any potential instances of this that could happen anywhere else. Leon Brittain? Rudi Dutsche? Does Jomo Kenyatta count, given that he named himself after Kenya?

    If Kenyatta counts then so would Turkmenbashi. But my question is this: Where is the timeline in which Kathy Ireland is president of the emerald isle? I know, she was born in the U.S., but still...

    Or Ron Canada as Candian PM?
