Yeah I’m not entirely sure this actually helps, or changes anything. I mean, it’s cool and all but do you really think they changed anyone’s mind inside that restaurant? I bet anyone who liked it was already supporting the cause and the pissed off people probably care even less now. Plus, it’s dumb to assume that…

One of my cousins is a history teacher, and she posted something the other day about the flag “merely” being about states’ rights. And she’s a HISTORY teacher! And a Yankee!

“I’m not racist I don’t need this”

So... they’re targeting companies with 21 in their name? It makes sense because of their name but I’m not sure that’s the most effective way to go about this.

Still, I’m team civil & peaceful protests, so have at it people. Good luck and godspeed or what have you.

I worked on the 2nd engine. It’s better costs less and oh well you know the story. Look at the F16 program history. Same Bat Time same Bat Channel.

“The fact that the F-35 is not really a good fighter at all is reminiscent of the question that we’ve been asking for years — if you don’t really need competitive maneuverability, than why do we need a fighter at all?”

WOW FUCK YOU ELLIE

Well, I don’t think any one type of person is responsible for patriarchal adherence. As a society, we can all stop expecting gender roles and we can all stop reinforcing them through our own actions. I lay the blame on traditionalists of all sorts.

Yup.

I’m p positive my comment was just dismissed (also, um. why?)

yeah but like.

I think it’s as the article states as a “toxic mess”. It’s not just a possible untreated illness, but also those patriarchal ideas of what a “man” is and what he’s entitled to, as well as that notion of men not really “needing help”, when everyone does. Though I don’t have any answers either, really. :( Terrible and…

This guy was taught that maleness is earned through sexual agency and—failing that—violence. We enter our sons into a heteronormative process on these vile terms. It’s no surprise that young men who fail to meet unrealistic standards for gender would become violent towards each other, violent towards women, and…

aside from an EXTREME psychotic break, mental illness is not an excuse.

I say keep with the theme of not allowing mental illness (real or suspected) to be used as an excuse for violent behavior. Period. Yes its a black man in this case, and yes its still horrible when this shit is done for white guys that do violence but the solution isn't to broaden the excuse, its to shrink it.

Can we talk about how the sound on this fucking show is so low I have no idea what the fuck anyone is ever saying?!?!

It seems it’s been decided this show is terrible by you but I thought this episode was v good, much better than first. Although given large part of the piece attacks a single line, I’d have thought you’d have bothered to get it right.
