“wouldn’t have done anything different myself” - All Cops

Go outside?

Why are you using a justice frame? Its definitely not the the frame they are using.

There was one question and answer on the past and future of the Democrats. I don’t expect Inskeep to do a hard hitting interview, but this should not have been the title.

From memory, they talked about:
• his beard and how Republicans do like it

• the Epstein files and how the Republicans are reacting
• Pete Buttigieg’s knowledge or lack thereof of Biden’s mental acuity
• Dems going forward
• is President Trump a good president?

So the one question and answer:

INSKEEP: Let me put a proposition on the table, and we’ll see if you agree with it or not. The country has changed. Politics have changed. Republicans figured that out and captured the moment, and Democrats have failed to do so up to now. Do you agree with that?

BUTTIGIEG: I would mostly agree. Yeah. I think that Democrats have been slow to understand the changes in how people get their information, slow to understand some of the cultural changes that have been happening, and maybe most problematic of all, to attach to a status quo that has been failing us for a long time.

Right now, you’ve got an administration that is burning down so many of the most important institutions that we have in this country, which is wrong. It is also wrong to imagine that we should have just kept everything going along the way it was. And I think that my party needs to do a better job of addressing the fundamental problems that have led people to mistrust everything.

I don’t know what his fundamental analysis is, but how can you not lay a mammoth sized amount of blame at the feet of Democrats since Clinton? I’m sure Mayor Pete will find a way to not look backwards, only forwards.

You’re a gem.

NEVER!

Oh… Don’t worry about it. Its just me taking the piss.

And like I said

I modified Alec Baldwin’s “Always Be Closing” speech from Glengarry Glenross. If you haven’t seen it, it’s good.

Why is pissing while pissing more happy than shitting while shitting or farting while farting.

Wait… I get it now.

A-B-S. A-always, B-be, S-shitting. Always be shitting! Always be shitting!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention – do I have your attention? Interest – are you interested? I know you are because it’s shit or walk. You shit or you hit the bricks! Decision – have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!! You got the turtlehead comin’ out; you think they came out to take a look around? Guy doesn’t sit on the toilet unless he wants to shit. Sitting there waiting to deliver the goods! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? (to Moss) What’s the problem pal?

Like I said, I ignored it because I didn’t know. I thought it better to be silent than wrong.

So I addressed the only other point you made.

The visibility issue is a direct response to your suggestion to making it private.

I read the trans men issue as a red herring to center men’s voices. I’m not sure about that so I let it fall by the way side.

Your final paragraph just said this is a bad way to handle it. There’s no response here because it’s a valid concluding paragraph if the previous points hold water. Obviously, I don’t think they do.

Without subtext the only way to read this comment is they are celebrating echo chambers. They aren’t. Subtext is hard.

You don’t address the visibility issue. Disappearing is not the solution.

Making it private limits visibility. Lemmy has a lot of men on it. A private women’s only space would be hard to find for the limited number of women.

Subtext is a difficult concept.

Right… Because a man’s opinion is the only thing needed to stop the echo chamber.

Edit: safe spaces are not echo chambers.
