Will we ever self-examine our own flaws, as a result of all this, I wonder? This Bruni piece has a pretty accurate description of the horrendous vile - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:15 27
- We as in general electorate? Not a chance. You'd need the Fortune 500 and billionaires to collectively force congress to change to make a difference. - Max Oct 2, 14:35 4
  - (I agree with your IM) -- nm - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:38
  - Yeah just we like all citizens. How can we be better as a country that is not so easily as it turns out overtaken by something like this? - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:38 2
    - To some degree this ugliness has always been there, it's just been hidden or kept under wraps. - Reagen Oct 2, 14:43 1
      - I agree with everything you say here. The "not hidden or kept under wraps" aspect of it I would hope would make us hit pause but I'm not really - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:47
- Hopefully. Like Reagen I think the part that needs to hasn't. And I don't think they will until they get their asses seriously kicked. But there is - pmb Oct 2, 14:32 20
  - See I don't think there is a "part that needs to"--I think it's 99% if not all of us. To different degrees but... - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:37 19
    - I get that to a degree, but I think some have been trying to do that reckoning for a while. And frankly, they overreact at times. - pmb Oct 2, 14:48 15
      - Who is overreacting exactly? I think social media is definitely fueling the culture war and the rotting but that implies that the rot was there to st - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:56 14
        
        The rot was there to start. -- nm - . Oct 2, 15:21
        
        I think that "woke culture" sometimes overreacts. And yes, there was rot there, but it's been fueled and cultivated by social media. It's expanded - pmb Oct 2, 15:02 12
        
        I still don't get what "woke" culture is. - Amoxy Oct 2, 15:37
        
        Yeah well you'll hear no argument from me there! Will we stop it? And the values that lead to it? I had the most RIDIC gym situation today - JackDawson Oct 2, 15:07 5
        
        *people* are ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 15:11 4
        
        The ultra woke sensitivity is a huge issue. It came from the parents, the kids are just manifesting it. -- nm - JackDawson Oct 2, 15:16 3
        
        but as you say, the initial "I am the dictator of the gym class!" bit is just as ridiculous - Reagen Oct 2, 15:24 2
        
        Oh my god the dictators of the gym class trying to change the tunes should be shot in the head immediately - JackDawson Oct 2, 15:28 1
        
        some of these things go in cycles - PCU was made in 1994 (on the tail end of that cycle) and some of the jokes in it play verbatim today. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 15:36
        
        I'm going to post a TED talk here that ReluctantCynic sent me a few months ago. I don't 100% agree with everything said but it's interesting. -- (link*) - Strongbad, Champ Champ Oct 2, 15:05 4
        
        Thanks. I'll watch later. Gotta run. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 15:13
        
        I will also add, before watching this, that until we start punishing people for lying, good will never defeat evil instant communication. - Max Oct 2, 15:11 2
        
        It's not a lie if I believe it to be true, Max! -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Oct 2, 15:13 1
        
        Hear me now and believe me later! -- nm - Max Oct 2, 15:13
    - There was an implied "most" in that. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 14:39 2
      - I think I understood that from your post, but not from "the part that needs to"--we all need to. -- nm - JackDawson Oct 2, 14:41 1
        
        that's where I was putting that "The part that needs to most". -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 14:43
- I feel like a significant portion has, but not the part that needed to. - Reagen Oct 2, 14:20
