I'm not sure what this meme wants. Would you like to see americans confidently overestimating their foreign language skills and pulling the meaning straight from their... ideology? Because I'm sure that can be arranged.
I'll admit I was making fun of the meme for using vague, unfocused sarcasm against its target, and I did it by using slightly more pointed sarcasm, so it's fair you misunderstood me.
Yeah, that's my point. The meme is criticizing americans for needing theory to be translated into english. Which seems to be adjacent to some valid criticisms, but dosen't make sense as is.
People should at least know some basic vocabulary and conversational sentences. That should get you by for nuanced and often deeply contextual political analysis from 100 years ago, right?
I literally don't give any shits about anyones gender
I'm getting lost in thinking about the better kind of asshole this guy is pretending to be.
Always uses the first bathroom they see, regardless of what gender it's supposed to be for. Spins a wheel in their mind every time they have to use a pronoun for anyone, including cis people and themself. Wants all their partners to use birth control pills and condoms.
I think they wanted a bill that would pass, and would sound good publicly but wouldn't actually do anything (the democrat special). Usually it's easy to get reps to support pointless bills because it's free pr, but here they still couldn't get that to pass.
i love that graph in the middle of the article. see? all we need to do is cut emissions by 80%
But our emissions are still supposed to go up for the next few years, so don't worry that Biden is accelerating oil drilling. That's all part of the plan!
Also we all knew that "carbon neutral by 2050" would keep getting pushed back indefinitely, but it's been two years and we're already at 2070 in this chart.
It's a movie that's in no rush to get to the end. Be prepared to appreciate scenes that really take their time.
The literal plot is mostly straightforward, but sometimes the narrative focus shifts unexpectedly. Try not to get too ahead of where you think things are going, and just be onboard with what's happening. It might feel like pieces of different movies until you get a chance later to think over how it's structured.
Yeah, I know the admins are just kind of keeping the site running, but having a canary that misleading and that out of date feels like there's a billboard saying "this site regularly complies with government requests", and everyone keeps saying "it's fine, someone must have forgotten to take that down".
Like, probably? I hope? But, why do we even have that thing?
In the trashfuture episode, they try to riff with him about fluff and Morozov basically says 'I don't care about any of that' and then they get back to the topic. I have a link if you want it.

He learned it from his elder role model.
