It’s a bit difficult to sell “let’s just ignore the President of the United States,” as much as my sanity would very much enjoy that.

Yes. That’s the solution. Stop talking about the most powerful man in the world. If we just ignore him, he’ll go away.

Unionization is a right, not a privilege.

Yep!

My Union contract demands I get paid for every second of my life given to my employer. I also get premiums for overtime and out of shift work.

I’m not one of those people that think that most people are idiots, but I do recognize that most people have fucking shit to do. They don’t have time to carefully analyze the impact of every piece of legislation, that’s the purpose of electing representatives, it’s electing people who (in theory, at least) can devote…

You’re still doing the same thing. WaPo refusing to publish him doesn’t render him unknown or prevent “the people” from choosing anything. If you believe in your argument, you shouldn’t need to misrepresent the alternatives.

Saying he doesn’t deserve this particular platform is not the same as saying he deserves no platform. There’s a whole world between being published in WaPo and operating “in the shadows.” Racists have the right to speak. They don’t have a right to prestigious bylines. Or to be taken seriously by serious people. If WaPo…

I do see your point and granted we’d want to tread carefully, but in this case, instead of giving Anton a forum to spread his views unquestioned, giving him the imprimatur of the Post’s respectability, such as it is, the Post could also investigate and then report on his white-supremacist views. Giving someone…

Chuck Shumer is a goddamn boil on the ass of the party. This fucking tut-tutting is so goddamn stupid and rings so, so hollow when he can’t even get the caucus to simply vote along partisan lines. Hey Chuck, why don’t you focus on getting Manchin, Heitkamp, and Donnelly to not vote with the republican agenda75% of…

Oh good, more of this balance fallacy bullshit from a major media source. 

“There are women out here in real life that do have these body types.”

Are you literally asking for a safe space from a blog post

*chuckle* They really CAN’T stand the fact that California is financially successful + progressive at the same time, can they? In their mind, money is the only measure of success, and they simply can’t wrap their heads around money happening without conservative-wackjob governance.

Are people just going to continue acting like this isn’t a naked attempt by Draper to carve out his own personal tax haven and get accolades from the shrill conservatives who have a frothing hatred of California for having the audacity to be a successful progressive state?

But choosing to attack both sides IS a political act. You’re making a very specific statement when you say “both sides are equally deserving of mockery.”

A bit of further editorial: Releasing a game is not an apolitical act. Games say things and the things they say often reflect the values of their creators. Intentional or otherwise, conscious or unconscious. Games are released within certain contexts as well; what artists decide to make, says something about their…

This is like those who claimed South Park was Republican because it lambasted liberals while ignoring it lambasted conservatives all the same because some fans wanted it to be an anti-liberal hitpiece.

I don’t see how anyone could possibly get away with saying this game isn’t political.
