Comment Re:Where no woke has gone before (Score 1) 183

Funny that your subject line is a modification of the Star Trek catchphrase... which was well-known for having an extremely diverse crew, especially for the time when it was made. I love it when people think Star Trek wasn't what today would be called woke.
So we've got two things going on here not sure which one it is, either this is the classic, 90% of conversations w/ leftists is them pretending to misunderstand common phrases making dialog impossible or just another person ignorant of what classic trek was like and did. So assuming(dangerous, I know) it is not the first scenario(which would make the rest of this reply pointless), in season 3 episode 22, "The Savage Curtain", space Abraham Lincoln uses an archaic term to describe Uhura, and then apologizes immediately afterwards, to which Uhura replies it is merely a word and they've(humanity) moved beyond it. How could any rational being believe that the sentiment I've just described could be attributed to the modern thought police: words are violence, silence is violence, failure to respect my pronouns is violence aka "woke" is truly baffling.

The Democrats could run Jesus fucking Christ and it wouldn't do any good if the Republicans just stop 17 million people from voting.
One point of contention, I don't want people voting, I want citizens voting, and there is a distinction. I'd prefer they were alive as well, but no need to totally destroy the Democrat party all at once.

Ah, the enlightened centrist. You can't name one "forceful" Biden era piece of legislation.
Says the guy posting as anon coward. But anyways, assuming you are not a troll and just a person with the memory of a goldfish, I'll start with the COVID19 restrictions under Biden(where BLM protests were ok, and Hollywood films could be shot, but no going to Church or any other large gatherings, gyms had to be closed). We will then move onto the power grab that was simply forgiving everyone's college debt. And for even more unity I'll present Biden's sith lord speech from Sep 1st 2022. But maybe you aren't a dog faced pony soldier, I can't be sure.

He has killed thousands of Iranians, cost the global economy trillions of dollars, cost the taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, ruined the US's reputation as a dependable and reliable partner, and effectively made the rule of law meaningless... but the exact same regime that does horrible things to Iranians is still in power so... winning?
I do love watching Democrats who spent years w/ their "Slava Ukraini" and blockbuster pins, wanting to ship pallets of cash to Ukraine, start to notice that wars are expensive. It is truly hilarious. Almost as funny as watching the Anti-war left completely disappear once Obama took office. Also, I missed your moral outrage when the Iranian regime killed thousands of Iranians, but maybe I just didn't look at /. that day. As for dependable and reliable partner, you misspelled carry the load completely. After all, going to war without the French, is like going hunting w/out an accordion.

This supercharged the crisis of 2007-2008. not sure there was many articles written about it, but the patterns are the same.
No, that was supercharged by the easy credit loans, and then the subsequent bundling of said loans into CDOs that could be sliced and sold off as low risk despite the loans inside said CDOs being sub prime, and some of those loans were interest only such that the second the rates started to rise, the risk of default exploded. Same kind of imaginary thinking that goes on in the crypto world, "the line must keep going up."

Workers must unionize. There can be no middle-class thriving without unionization, worker-owned cooperatives, and much greater corporate income taxation.
Yep, the UAW really did a good job keeping GM running well. Or perhaps we should form a group of union bosses to help make sure everything runs well, what shall we call it? A central committee? perhaps Supreme Soviet? That will solve all the problems.

It gets even worse. People are literally watching videos on their phone in stalls at my office. Regularly. I don't want to be hearing your pundit's analysis of last night's sportsball game while relieving my bladder or bowels. And the worst part is, I've heard multiple different feeds at the same time, so it's not just one bad apple.
Brother, I don't know how to tell you this w/out hurting your feelings, but they are playing that content to drown out the sound of your colon and bladder while they are in their stalls. Hope this helps, and you should probably get a colonoscopy soon.

I'm not OP but myself, being a fan of liberalism and American values (unlike the conservatives today) know you couldn't or shouldn't criminalize viewpoints or political affiliation. However there is nothing stopping the rest of us from making being or associating with conservatives so socially repugnant that they should hide themselves in shame, disengage from having strong political opinions (because it's obvious they are incapable of understanding American institutions, law and values) so as to make conservatism politically irrelevant for the next 2 decades until they root out the rot they have allowed to take over their movement and come back to the table with sane people and sane policy.
Why do you believe that would or should happen? After the failure of the Soviet experiment, there are still communist parties a plenty around the world. Heck, look at the Democrat policies toward immigration in 2016 vs today. There's no sanity to be found. So shine on you crazy diamond.

It's already been caught more than once for example appearing to find problems on an X-ray with a very high rate of success when in actuality it had just picked up on a simple pattern where for example something is dumb as a ruler was included on the X-rays that had the problems and wasn't included on an X-ray that didn't...
The old wolves vs dogs trick, yeah I hope that is accounted for in the training data.
We have a very small window left to the side of we are going to live in a society where around 2,000 people get to decide how we live. And we need to decide if having the girl that hands us our coffee say Merry Christmas is worth giving up everything else to those 2,000 people. I like the Merry Christmas red herring, but open a history book and read all about the fools trying to make bandages fashionable b/c the King had anal fissures. We've always been a society of sheep, and there's always been a group ready to demand conformity for the greater good(see HOA's, Brussels etc). Also your STT broke down since that was supposed to be left to decide, not left to the side, at least it wasn't left to deicide

You exemplify typical leftist views, where you believe the only reason someone could disagree with your views is due to character fault of some kind.
One minor quibble, that is more of an authoritarian view, which currently the left has embraced(esp post COVID), but both left and right wing authoritarians use the people who disagree w/ my policies are: defective, deficient of (intellect, character, moral fiber, empathy, take your pick) and therefore require re-education, imprisonment, etc until they see the error of their ways.

Biden was caretaker and the U.S reeled under Covid, a disease ignored by la Presidenta until if couldn't be, mainly due to the stiffs piling up. The Republicans thought this was just potty because they were not Their stiffs, those were little people stiffs. la Presidenta funded the vaccines only because he wanted to be re-elected, other than that he didn't give a flying fuck. It was so bad that when Biden got in and asked for the NiH plan to combat the pandemic, they handed him a binder of crap that was no plan at all. The Biden Administration had to start at square one.
Wow, holy revisionist history Batman. You'd make the Soviets proud. Here on earth, Pepperidge farm remembers that Biden ran a campaign that was largely aided by elites that helped to "fortify" the election and then wrote a Time magazine article praising themselves after they won. Biden was no caretaker, since he handed off so many things to the diversity hire and then watched as she proceeded to screw up, of course Biden wasn't likely to do much better since he was famously 'on the wrong side of every foreign policy".

removing books [cbsnews.com] by Stephen King, Kurt Vonnegut, or Ernest Hemingway.
Not sure the context, but I don't think "cocaine" Stephen King's child sex scene in IT should be taught to younger children. Vonnegut has some good books, but again age appropriate, and Hemingway is mostly overrated, enjoy "the Old man and the Sea" and thank your lucky stars if that's all the Hemingway you'll have to endure. Not quite the moral panic as when people were silenced for asking questions about COVID.
