Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

What I'm essentially saying is that not all Trumpers are cut from the same cloth. Fair point. I don't know beyond having voted for Trump what else qualifies a person for being a Trumper, though. In 2016 I was more understanding of that. In 2020, it's hard not to feel like a person who voted for Tru...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

I should back up and say I personally think the good run we've had is more likely due to our system allowing changes in power dynamics to fix problems that come from the rule of a single ideology. And that we are seeing the breakdown we are quite possibly because those corrections aren't happening a...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

Anyway, Honor, as a radical Centrist I couldn’t agree more with your post. It’s crazy to me how partisans view their own ideology as the reasonable starting point, the center as it were, and anyone to the Left or Right of their position is a *insert over the top description here*. Maybe we’re all t...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

... hunters killed by animals, ... OK. Given that my mind insists on illustrating everything that I read in real time and usually with comical effect, I literally lol-ed when I read that. Given the potentially serious subject of this thread, that was a nice tension-breaker. Thank you, honor. I'm gl...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

I think your friend is actually a derpoid, Gad. He seems pretty unhinged. - Doc That seems possible for sure. I thought your point about his possibly being support in an SF unit was a helpful insight. It brought to mind a guy I know who was in Afghanistan who worked on helicopters. He saw wounded a...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

... the demeanor of someone who would be excited to finally get to kill liberals. Not that it would matter if - as Doc puts it - things get ‘hot’, but it’s weird how much overlap there probably is between folks willing to do this, and folks who seem to use the abortion issue as their reason to be o...

Being on the right side of this doesn't automatically make a person's view right.
You do realize moksha likes to joke around, right? Is there space for that here?
"I was just joking," has lost significant cachet after Trump over used it.

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

Trumpers are like deadly cyborgs waiting for the code of automatic rampage to be entered. They have stockpiled weapons for years in anticipation of creating a new Reich. For non-fighters, try to blend in. Say crazy things about Pizzagate and any other things you remember Ajax and Subgenius going on...

Re: The Military and Trump: Questions for Dr. Cam

For context, roughly how old would you say this guy is? Tangential anecdote: in the lead up to Y2K I had started college and was completing my enlistment in an Army Reserve unit. I was good friends with a guy who was well past his 20 years in, capped out at SFC, and physically sounds like your acqua...

Re: Cloud Atlas (Spoilers)

Agree with what's been said as well. I haven't seen the movie but understand it picked up on the themes of reincarnation and meta-destiny pretty well for a narrative that switched identities and genders over generations. Of his other books, I think The Bone Clocks felt similarly ambitious and overal...
