I get that it's being used a catchall and I'm not trying to be a@@ about it or claim it requires a level of purity but half the problem is a denial that all our liberal groupings haven't exhausted the well. The historic use of the name has ceased to be an affinity, only carrying on as a utilty where...

yep - except, im also not playing no true scotsmen games either. Which is smart because it's dodgy that it's ever actually applicable and not just a rhetorical game itself. It was misapplied when Antony Flew coined it and its been downhill ever since. Why it seems persuasive in the original with a ...

Yes, roughly over the last 72 hours.

Things seem better now though, immediately brought me to the log in screen without shenanigans.

https://twitter.com/BenjaminCrew1/status/1783837184610726264 The films and stunts of Buster Keaton As I became older, I started to perceive the films of Chaplin as maudlin and appreciate the films of Keaton far more. I largely agree. Chaplin's legacy is his character's image. A large amount of peop...

Best action movie in years

im not really certain exactly where I stand on those lines in the sand - but one thing is for dead certain - the average moderate or conservative family in australia is not wanting real life violence and murder showed in 4k detail on mainstream media, so any media which does show that and allow inc...

Twitter can either be liveleak/ 4chan or it can be a public platform with families and businesses involved. Australian government is just expecting them to want to be the latter. Arguing for live assaults and murders on your news feed is not a conservatism i would care for. _---- It would have been...

Truth be told, I checked out of following that story a while ago because it immediately had all the signs of a depressing sh!tstorm. I do not understand why people put so much trust into Elon Musk to be something more than he is but why should I trust the Australian gov't to have good intentions abo...

:) I know that post is untrue because it's missing the right and obligatory cultural clauses: Currently in Australia, a land I with all my heart and might acknowledge as stolen and the real sovereign territory of [insert tribe] , we have conservatives, a people with all my heart and might I acknowle...

My barrier with Ren is that he amplifies some of the worst theater kid aspects of Eminem-- somewhat acknowledging it in that song doesn't make it go away.

This really brings to focus the actual kernel of truth in that grimy old Marxist axiom: bourgeoisie liberals will seek whatever they perceive as remaining of the ancient conservative order to use as a cudgel against the lower classes and orders. "Conservatives are stupid" is more a command...

Ukraine is a perfect example of how media warfare doesn't move the needle like it once did. So many grand pronouncements and assurances, so little accomplished. It's been all over for Ukraine and Israel for years now. They are taking longer to get to the future than the Brazilians. What to do with ...
