[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

It seriously is. What would be the point of that given that literally Nixon was a crook?

You know how it is. Thugs throwing up gang signs from notorious criminals whenever someone points a camera at them.

More like the ultimately catastrophic belief that if you rise to enough power, laws don't apply to you.

I distinctly remember someone saying Nixon was not a crook. Haroo

I wish it really was ultimately catastrophic for everyone and not just the occasional outlier.

I wouldn't be surprised if Roger Stone believed Nixon was innocent.

He said big tech not iron /s

I don't see the contradiction here. I don't agree with it at all, to be clear, but neither do a see a contradiction. The first tweet is about the authority of the state to tell private businesses what to do; the second tweet is appealing for non-state pressure to a private business to change its policies. If the second tweet said that it ought to be illegal for Big Tech to do this, that would be a contradiction, but it doesn't.

The contradiction that i see is in the first bit, they don't want the leviathan dictating who a business entity can do or not do business with, in the second bit they imply they want the leviathan to punish/prohibit spotify for choosing not to do business with them.

They condemn in the second tweet exactly the same behavior they applaud in the first tweet. It gets a bit murky because PraderU doesn't actually believe leviathans should exist at all while also still wanting to take advantage of all the protections and benefits a leviathan provides society so it's not really an internally consistent world view anyway.

I don't see how the second tweet implies at all that they want the government to punish or prohibit Spotify from banning them. The call is for other people to retweet to "stand up to Big Tech" which doesn't necessarily involve the government at all.

i guess i was latching less on to the specific call to action and more to the statement of "bias against conservatives" being wrong and needing to be corrected, right after ardently supporting the same kind of "bias" against other groups.

But couldn't one also imply they ask for a call to Gov to push back?

I get if you parse it just right but couldn't one also look at the first half of the first tweet and say if a service won't let you advertise, just find another service?

As it is written, Clocky has the right of it.

That's great but I wonder if she got a visit from the Secret Service.

Nah they probably just added her to the terrorist watch list for gigs.

The gov’t aspect is entirely tangential, it’s an illustration of how conservatives support businesses being able to discriminate as long as it isn’t against them without understanding the actual reasons behind the actions. They’re saying “deal with it” in one instance and throwing a fit in another. See also: the patreon and youtube bannings from last year.

Considering the Gates Foundation is targeting those goals, I think it is fair for Bill Gates to toot his horn on those successes without having to explain that they did not, in fact, solve all of the world's problems.

Yeah I know, it's just his optimism gets a little tiresome.

considering the misinformation campaign against him that his efforts to destroy the world, create a new world order with the Clintons, and infect all of Africa with polio, which apparently doesn't cause paralysis btw cuz Infowars, I am happy he is tooting his own horn.

It took two years, but hell is freezing over.
