Isaiah Berlin:
Odd how there's no constantly pasted comic of this Popper quote:
Karl Popper wrote:We [need to] distinguish between a true rationalism and a false or a pseudo-rationalism. What I shall call the ‘true rationalism’ is the rationalism of Socrates. It is the awareness of one’s limitations, the intellectual modesty of those who know how often they err, and how much they depend on others even for this knowledge. It is the realization that we must not expect too much from reason; that argument rarely settles a question, although it is the only means for learning—not to see clearly, but to see more clearly than before.
What I shall call ‘pseudo-rationalism’ is the intellectual intuitionism of Plato. It is the immodest belief in one’s superior intellectual gifts, the claim to be initiated, to know with certainty, and with authority. According to Plato, opinion—even ‘true opinion’, as we can read in the Timaeus —’ is shared by all men; but reason’ (or ‘intellectual intuition’) ‘is shared only by the gods, and by very few men’.
This authoritarian intellectualism, this belief in the possession of an infallible instrument of discovery, or an infallible method, this failure to distinguish between a man’s intellectual powers and his indebtedness to others for all he can possibly know or understand, this pseudo-rationalism is often called ‘rationalism’, but it is diametrically opposed to what we call by this name.

So the devs are deliberately trying to pander, the audience they're supposedly pandering to is registering a complaint and he thinks the answer should be that the devs should simply ignore them completely and give up? Why did they try to pander in the first place then? I really can't understand how these people have such short sighted thought processes that are always binary and narrow to the point of nearly "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" themselves into constantly being so tired.

The devs can kind of blame themselves on this one as they first announced loudly that the game is uncensored in all regions and then the day one patch actually censors something after all. It's odd though because the costume that's been altered doesn't seem more extreme than any of the other ones.
Overall people seem more upset with Sony though for likely pulling a fast one.
With people being angry I wonder what the chances are they'll actually add it back as it's just a completely unnecessary house made controversy

Instead of critically thinking through a strategy to counter republican extremism, they just leaned into their own version. Brain stays off, no thinking, just reacting.

I don't even know what he is talking about tbh. That shit could go anywhere and it sure as hell doesn't criticize Israel one bit. How are you so charitable in light of everything he has done! This is so strange 7 months into this.
Biden is explicitly funding and arming ethnic cleansing... Time after time his administration refuses independent investigations of potential war crimes conducted by Israel and instead has them investigate themselves. The only conclusion I can gather by you being so charitable is that you don't think it's ethnic cleansing and you definitely don't think it's a genocide because if you did you wouldn't go to bat for him so much.

I've read that black women are the most reliable Dem voters, and I wonder if they all make the same cynical calculation that I do: that if shit gets bad, we're screwed before black men and white men and women (and I worry about the LGBTQ community before any of that).
My parents grew up in a military dictatorship and they tell me Americans take the stability of their own country for granted.
We're here because people came up with the dumbest reasons to not vote for Hillary. Gee, I wonder where we will be in four years if people decide not to vote again. And yes, I think funding genocide is a pretty big deal. I'm furious at Dems for letting Israel's corrupt government walk all over them. But maybe we wouldn't even be here if Americans hadn't decided collectively to fuck around a find out 8 years ago!
If I'd known that Biden was a hyper Zionist and had the clairvoyance to know that a major conflict would break out in Israel back when I voted for him in the primaries, then I would've definitely taken a different goddamned route. I have no problem voting for Dems because just like in 2016, it wasn't about me. It was about my investment in the future, especially when it comes to climate change! I took an oceanography course in undergrad, I don't fuck around with climate change.
Biden clearly doesn't care about Palestinians. And yet, he's still far less hateful than the alternative that hates everyone. I only really have two choices in voting, and as someone who only became a citizen in 2007, I really don't want to see this country destroy itself.
After talking friends from South America online, I've realized just how much of the US's riches are built on top of the suffering of others. It's made me cynical, but not cynical enough to burn it all down in November. The US going full dictatorship won't magically make the world a better place, even if one may argue that Americans might deserve it. Global politics doesn't work out nice and neatly that way. In my reading of modern history, generally the sides in global conflicts are "Bad" and "Slightly Less Bad."
And as someone with a PhD who has taught numerous classes of students, I'm far more worried about Republicans destroying American universities than Democrats being their usual milquetoast selves. Could Dems be doing more? Hell yes! But they're still not aggressively trying to dismantle all levels of education.
My choices are shitty status quo or likely destruction. I'm going to go for the former. Quote:"American" is a weird way to refer to US citizens, but I'll say that I'm not one and thus have nothing to take for granted. I do get to witness all the consequences of the US building their prosperous and stable empire on top of the blood of so many other peoples. In any case, yours is a fair assessment; of course, every person will support the outcome that benefits their kin first and foremost. What bothers me is mostly those that go out of their way to make Biden look like anything other than a genocidal racist and that will call out those that decide not to vote for him as if they were making any meaningful effort for Palestinians not to be thrown under the bus. If all these people are ok with Palestinians being subjected to this now, who's to say they won't do the same if it's my Latin American family getting thrown into mass graves by their "strategic partners" or their own army? That's not the kind of people I want to stand with or that I would consider as worthy allies, even if my well-being as a queer Latino happens to benefit from their ephemeral intersectionality.

You're asking people to go to the polls and affirmatively vote for someone they think is enabling genocide, in some cases against their own family members or people they actually know. Just stop to consider that for a moment.
The argument that the other side is much worse (and it is) is not going to be very persuasive when you can't make an affirmative argument for your candidate that justifies his phenomenally limp and cowardly attitude towards what's happening in Gaza, and something like genocide is a bit larger than the typical single-issue voting strategy. meowdi gras wrote:Kasumin, just wanted to say thank you for a welcome, nuanced take on the dilemma we're facing right now as American voters.

On the note of difficult choices, I'm not Black, so I hope I will be forgiven for bringing this up, but as a student of history, I can't help looking back to the emancipated slaves in the years following the Civil War, as well as today's African-Americans who have carried on their legacy, as my examples to follow to the ballot box. What a lesson to us all in negotiating the crucible of hard voting choices.

This you?
You yourself would do well to reflect on your grasp of the situation after having one of your assumptions about Biden debunked as false. You may not be on quite as sure of footing as you think with your casual generalizations.
Fwiw, were I a bad actor on social media or a dubious "news" outlet right now, I'd really be pushing that "both sides are the same" narrative harder than ever. Between present conditions in the Middle East, outrage culture reaching something of an apotheosis during this election season, and declined media literacy and critical thinking skills, I can't think of a moment in my lifetime where that angle has been an easier sell. Quote:Jesus Christ people apparently can't criticize the horrendous and honestly slanderous response from the Biden administration and Democrats to the protests without the liberal defense brigade derailing the whole conversation for two pages to whitewash the Biden administration and repeat the same usual vote pragmatically is the only option bullshit. This forum is an intellectual wasteland.
What is more amusing is that this is happening exactly in a thread reporting on *another completely valid* way people in the US figured out they could deal with the current context, which is fucking protesting and organizing and pushing back against the genocide supported by US institutions and government. Your only option is not to "oh I'll heroically face the difficulty that is voting in tough times for that is the duty of the good citizen", you can actually go join one of these protests or organize your own to try to pressure such administration instead of carrying water for it.
Maybe it achieves something, maybe it doesn't, but if it works it might make the idea of voting for Biden easier for you and the people that are disillusioned and justifiably angry enough to not have that as their top priority. If it doesn't work then you can go vote with a clear mind that you did everything *you actually could*.
