Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@Dynamo Frokane Nope. Not what happened at all. All pictures here have been equally intellectual and don't offend me in the slightest. Maybe mildly depressing anyone genuinely believes them. But another thing entirely. You got "offended" (or played the fool.) that your message was legit. I corrected you. (either because I totally take this seriously, or am bored and give about as much shit as the next guy.) No reason to conflate what happened.

It fits the straw-man argument because it claims those who are racist, make the same arguments as those figures you displayed. It even has "this is stereotype quote" here. Those themselves are straw-man arguments presented in the picture itself. It overall may be closer to an ad hominem. But it's still a fallacy. See you made me dismantle a meme. Also all memes are meaningless. There's only so far I can suspend my disbelief on Poe's Law.

@Dynamo Frokane But you're the one that took offense that I called it a strawman...you cant have it both ways...

Either meaningless and knowingly untrue shit post. Or biting statement that's suppose to be true that you'd stand behind. Wouldn't have to explain it, if you didn't call it into question.

@Dynamo Frokane You can't pretend that picture was anything but inflammatory. I mean seriously, the helk does "Never had sex" picture correlate in any way to "reads and agrees with Hitler* (*screams from the heavens that Hitler was from the left* ) then that tying into someone who just looks a right wing web site. <.< So yes, I know it wasn't an attack, but don't try to make it seem like anything other than a joke. So yes "I disagree with you, so you never had sex. And are riddled with acne." seems pretty intellectually bankrupt to me.

Out of curiosity why is racialism conflated with racism, even if by some crazy chance it is wrong?

@Andreyich

That just sounds like a recently made up word to counter the statement of racism. (And ignoring the fact that racism as a word is already flawed and nearly irrelevant from how often it's used in the first place.) But I digress. Racism is conflated with everything. :P

Also, can we (the culture in general) stop making up new words please? The fact that published dictionaries had to change the definition of the word literally. Makes me depressed. Like do we need to add 'man-' as a prefix to everything we define as evil now?

Music Appreciation Thread

@TheMadAsshatter Okay I listened to this and typed out something once already but I ended up stopping because I couldn't find a worthy song. XD

Anyway, Radiohead has never really interested me. Everyone keeps telling me I'll like them and how good they are, but the last time I listened to an album I got greeted with a solid minute of loud static, it goes without saying that I didn't finish that album.

6.5/10 (First time/again for good measure.) It's a decent song, singer is fine and lyrics are very simple. I feel like slow songs like this usually need something more to stand out. More impactful vocals, deeper/emotional or more complicated lyrics. This song just feels too vague and subtle for my taste. Though I do enjoy the ending minute instrumental bit. Seems like static is their thing.

Not their best song, but when I want strong vocals. Their certainly one of bands that come to mind.

@Dinh AaronMk
I'm not absolutely stating that person's intentions, though I highly doubt someone could say that without some hedonistic angle to it, especially since he was often a liar, though I am with many of the other people that have said similar things that are completely glossed over. Just noting I already posted a video about this, but the parties didn't switch ideologies or sides. Maybe you just mean people can change their opinion and you're implying that's what he did. And I agree with that sentiment, but in this day of irrational political belief, you cannot change yourself or the evils of racism. (As I had already discussed once before.)

Also now suddenly people are actually siting sources for things while talking? Better late than never...

@Dynamo Frokane The fatal flaw of that picture is all racists are idiots, and therefore have not read those books or know about history well enough to know any of those icons. But I suppose all being secret frog people, just gives more credence to the lizard people conspiracy. /s

On that note. Since I already started. (Note the picture isn't directed at you or anyone. Just too lazy and thoughtful of spam to post twice. But since this is all this thread is. Might as well humor it.)

Look everyone, a picture with facts and reality opposed to strawmen. :O

I don't know, feel like at least one of those was needed.

Ban the Person above you

Banned because I don't get to talk to you enough. And its all your fault.

Talk about (almost) anything.

Because this has gone off the deep end, my friend found his lost kitty from a month ago. Yay. Maybe it's a sign this month will actually go well.
