I've always preferred the term outrage economy to culture war.

@jlrob85 5 ай бұрын

100% agree with this Too many people and organisations make money off it now for it to stop.

@mattpiercey1576 5 ай бұрын

@@asuka_the_void_witch because that's how right wing talking points become popular, without being rooted in that little bit of truth they would just be the ramblings of mad men. If we can't understand why people could be drawn to extreme points the division will grow worse and we will only be left with violence

@skuzzlebutt 5 ай бұрын

@@asuka_the_void_witch Your comment is a perfect example of this phenomenon I've been noticing for a while where if an opinion is judged to be right leaning, no one on the left can acknowledge its truth, no matter how self-evident that truth is. So, signaling group allegiance is more important than making substantive arguments. If a left-winger is arguing a right-winger and the latter says the sky is blue, the former's gonna deny it. Obviously an exaggeration, but you get the point. So your comment isn't saying anything of substance. Instead of appealing to political allegiance, just make your point-that is, if you _actually_ have a point to make. Not that it should have to be said, but at the risk of getting accused of being a fascist apologist, I'm a left wing socialist.

I actually like The Curse ending the bc on a meta level Nathan spent so much time in the reality tv world “helping” small businesses (like Asher) and the moment he tries to create a real piece of art and make a substantive change (Asher becoming a father) he drifts into obscurity on showtime (like drifting into space) and the few people that pay attention (the bystanders) are left confused

0:23 This clip is edited deceptively. Katt was in the middle of saying that Faizon told HIM that "getting a Netflix special is easy....". Just like a lot of people miss, is that everything he was talking about, was said about him, or something he was directly involved with, first. Took me awhile to put it all together .

He knew how to be a star. the dude’s a star. I think half the people knew that he was going to throw them under the bus just for fun and because they all get attention. so now let’s see what you say …. 🎉

It’s an interesting topic. As a Gen x person I sometimes don’t understand social media. Yes the technical part but the idea that everyone just lives to create content for the platforms for (mostly) free. And everyone seems to be selling something- either a product or services or themselves as a person that’s X, Y Z like trying to be an influencer. Looking like a traveler or adventurous person or a foodie and so on. And all to just get more followers. So listening to this video was insightful, the platforms changes the art and socialety.

I was right in the Middle of it when it hit the tipping point real time with Twitter (Facebook too but way different) … I literally have the hard drives with the changes, people I know in real life and other around the world “changed” and pretended like they have always thought, behaved and lived like whatever folk made up yesterday. They didn’t realize I was doing research at the time and was using the Giant master dictionaries, none of these words are in them, but they pretended like these words that people just made up the other day have always been in the dictionary! One year later, the smallest versions of the Dictionaries had all of these words out of nowhere! Lmao 1984

This was very good. I don't really have much to say other than, as an older "millenial", it's very easy to see what you're talking about as needed discourse on a larger stage. The moment I became permanently depressed about everything, was the exact moment I realized that more people hate education that cherish it. EDIT: I should be clear that when I say "hate education", it's more about that initial, human reaction to learning something that challenges your world views completely. Obviously it sounds very, clearly "culture war"ish-y? but what can you do? As far as I know, people love the idea of education without any of work that has to be done. And when they're challenged on it, they "fight back".

Not seen this video yet. But in my experience the culture war started when the trailer for Mad Max Fury Road came out people (mainly on the right) started complaining because there were several women in the movie. Saying they were making Max a side character in his own movie. Also when the trailer when The Force Awakens came out people were mad the John Boyega was playing a stormtroopers because I'm sure I don't need to say because.

The culture war started a long, long time ago. It depends on when you want to start counting. With the formation of the John birch society. With the Puritans arriving in New England. With Christopher Columbus, landing in the Haitian coast, and thinking he was in India. But in all cases, this is one culture attempting to illuminate and replace all other cultures. They like to refer to themselves as western civilization acknowledging that there is civilization in the east. They do not acknowledge anyone else is having a civilization.
