I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think Stewart has a positive effect on politics overall, even if he does drive me nuts occasionally. People shouldn’t put him on a pedestal, but similarly they shouldn’t call him full neoliberal.

Shit’s nuanced.

Horseshit. They’ve now hit 4 schools and 13 hospitals. It’s all intentional. The US military is a terrorist organization.

Fair enough. I don’t agree with a lot of what you said, but I also didn’t report your post because it feels like maybe it lands in a grey area and perhaps my judgment on this is biased.

As for rule 2, I think the entire point of this rule is that there isn’t a “main” shower thought separate from anything else. The title is the shower thought, and that’s supposed to be the entire post. It seems like people break this rule constantly, but since it’s mostly harmless they’re allowed to do so. I just felt the need to say something.

This idea of “everything is political” is something I vehemently disagree with, and I think people who use this are frequently being disingenuous. They want to break the rules and this argument allows them to do so, and I’ve seen this argument used with blatantly political posts before (I’m not saying yours is blatantly political).

But I also think that sometimes current events are inherently political, or at least they are seen that way, and it seems absurd to stop people from talking about things that are happening in our world every day. I’m torn on this one.

It’s amazing how so many people blatantly break the rules of this comm. I’d say it’s most posters.

This breaks rules 2 and 3.

This post breaks rule 3, please report it.
