Re: The Dumpster Fire...
Quick question, would you care if a really competent and capable emergency room doctor was a pervert 30 years ago? Or if this same doctor had a moral compass that pointed in a different direction than you? What exactly is the implication here for his ability to perform his job? Somehow I doubt thes...

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy
And that's the result of bias. It was so bad it skipped talking about actual gamergate. I see both metanarrative arcs as destructive. Yeah, I know that's my bias now and yes part of that comes from reading things like Haidt's The Righteous Mind. It also comes from reading sources across spectrums a...

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy
The article you linked to from the MIC channels is a perspective. It's an interesting one presenting an interesting perspective. But it's also a pretty lonely article in terms of what it has to say. And it really seems to be an example of this that I mentioned in the post above - "The narrativ...

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy
When I started reading about gamergate, I just wanted to figure out what had happened. One of my children, whose opinion I hold in high regard, was adamant that the gaming community is not inherently sexist and that they'd been unfairly portrayed in the media. So I started reading more about it. I w...

Re: Northam vs. Gillispie thread
3 FIX OUR BROKEN ELECTIONS End gerrymandering. Out of the bulk of silly facist-wannabe silliness, I found this aspect interesting. Gerrymandering has been around abut as long as our country has been having elections - ergo, you believe our elections have been broken since before 1800. But kudos for...

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy
So I also contribute more than a question, I should add that much of my response comes from viewing the issues around Gamergate as it being one subcultural expression of a much broader culture-conflict that is wide-spread in US society that I think of as being more foundational than anything that c...

Re: "Louis C.K. Crossed a Line Into Sexual Misconduct"
If nothing else, you learn from Cosby, Weinstein, Wiener and C.K., a lot of men do a lot of weird sexual ____. I think I used to think that this kind of behavior was far less common than it actually is. Yeah, that's what has shocked me the most about all this. Jesus, what is wrong with these people.

That just turns the lobbyists into the law writers. SEE ALEC Exposed m Yeah, I'm wary of term limits for that reason. We have to deal with campaign finance reform.

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy
My reaction to the OP may best be expanded on by first ensuring my initial reading aligns with what you intended to convey. In my reading the OP asks this question: What was Gamergate and how did it impact the US political environment? And it answered the question with this: People who have spent t...
