It’s part of navigating life in capitalist society, but NOT a refutation. When former fans of the Dixie Chicks got mad at them for speaking out against the Iraq War and decided to boycott them, did that “refute” their point about that war?

Oh, I don’t think they are “two sides of the same coin” which is why I called it a “rough comparison”. Milo’s normative belief about underage sex is informed by his own life experience, just as Davis’ is about the justice system, but that’s not sufficient to make them the same.

It’s perfectly legitimate to spend your money as you see fit, but it doesn’t “refute” anything but claims about how you spend your money.

Not giving a fuck and not losing sleep are quite different from saying anyone should die. The latter would require actually doing something.

So by not saying anything about a murder victim she’s saying people should die?

I actually don’t know Davis’ opinion on the age of consent. Presumably, as a prison abolitionist, she wouldn’t think prison an appropriate punishment for violating it, but that leaves a lot of other possible responses.

Spielberg didn’t “witness” anything in the 1930s, he wasn’t even born yet.

It’s true that’s a rough comparison, Milo never bought a gun used to hold a courtroom hostage and murder a judge.

Milo was winning because of how people reacted at colleges. It was his whole brand. He lost when he offended his righwing patrons via his comments on underage sex.

When did JK Rowling say you should die?

Who is saying there should be “no refutation”?

In the context of inflation, keeping nominal prices the same is equivalent to a price cut in real terms.

What makes it “arbitrary”?

The idea of someone in a comedy being worried about being laughed at is inherently funny.

That purpose being to mock the trend toward comedy-in-theory.

Hey, I’m a terrible person who DID go to college! There are lots of terrible people who went to college!

Didn’t Rolling Stone change ownership after they got sued for their “A Rape on Campus” story based on an anonymous source? This is 13 sources, which is a lot more, but RS is not the magazine with reliability in that respect.

This film had its theatrical debut in October 2020. It appears there’s a reason it took so long since then to have a wide release.
