I know essentially nothing about financial markets (or the finance sector in general), but I agree GME ain't long for this world. I'm all about physical media and do my best to patronize b+m businesses whenever it's feasible to do so, but I'm also very obviously the odd one out in such behavior.

'Course, the best thing about this whole fiasco is it doesn't matter whether GME sticks around. As I understand it, the motivation behind the "diamond hands" meme was never about propping up a failing company, nor was it about making money. Most of the memers who "invested" in GME seem to have written off the money as soon as it was spent.

The point is to stick it to the cunts on Wall Street. GME is/was the current vehicle for achieving that end but, when it inevitably fails, they'll find another and start over.

That's as best I understand it, anyway. Given my disclaimer above it's entirely possible I've grossly misread the whole situation.

I've never had any desire to own a chopper myself; can't imagine it's comfortable taking any sort of long-distance ride with one's arms hanging above one's head as most such bikes seem to require.

Still, that's an awfully pretty bike.

The idea the natural world has an abundance of everything one needs to survive and ancient people didn't have to put serious work into acquiring resources tells me this guy has never spent a single day on a farm, let alone surviving in wild country.

What he is saying is that the capitlaistic world uses advertising and materailitic culture to make us consumers.

He's saying we need to seperate ourselves from the system and live with the more natural parts of human nature.

he's not saying we can live without the system but to sperate it from yourself as much as you can.

He literally said " I'm not discouraging anyone for making money only for the reason that we are still slaves to it" Just like obtaining resources in caveman days.

In the first world country we have this privlage and he mentions this. After a certain point enough money is enough. It's just paper.

We don't need things to make us fullfilled. We need purpose and community.

The lefty loonies co-opted "gender" a couple decades back as yet another Trojan horse in the culture war.

My position on the whole thing is that "the Right" EARNED the state of cultural affairs they find themselves in, by actually BEING the party of active homophobia for decades running. Arguably, official and mainstream Right Wing branded policies and procedures did worsen the extent and the social and financial impact of the AIDS epidemic. For all the talk of individual liberty and self-determination, "the Right" made it a central part of its "brand identity" to pit themselves as enemies of the gay community in the name of "Family Values." They long went out of their way to set up legal obstacles and break up families.

The culture war you attempt to dismissively blame came about in RESPONSE to long entrenched and partisanized oppression of gay people. Some of the same obstacles straight men face in family court today were normalized and strengthened when originally applied against the gay subculture.

"First they came for the gays, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't gay. By the time they came for me, there was nobody left to speak up."

Same thing. The lefty loonies co-opted "gender" a couple decades back as yet another Trojan horse in the culture war. Before academics started preaching this "gender identity" bullshit the terms were interchangeable in both common parlance and professional/technical use.

The linked video is chock full o' naturalistic fallacies and just plain retardation. The idea the natural world has an abundance of everything one needs to survive and ancient people didn't have to put serious work into acquiring resources tells me this guy has never spent a single day on a farm, let alone surviving in wild country.

It really doesn't take much for a fiscally responsible single dude to be comfortable and secure. If you aren't getting married you don't need to chase money.

Guys, STOP CHASING MONEY IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED

@woodsmoke I see 2 likely outcomes:

1) they turn on one of their icons and eat their own, or

2) it starts breaking apart that phoney unanimity they pretend they have

@woodsmoke Heretic or not, whenever this type of viewpoint makes it into MSM, it helps break any illusion of consensus. Right now is an opportunity to keep the spotlight on this issue by sharing and spreading it through whatever channels we have available to us.

The meme is delicious but we both know there won't be any struggle. Dawkins is breaking ranks with progressive orthodoxy. It won't matter if he agrees with them on the remaining 99.99% anymore than it does with Rowling. He's a heretic, so into the ist/phobe basket he goes.
