It's pretty sad how Airbus defines themselves in comparison to Boeing, and Europeans define themselves in comparison to Americans in general. They don't have much identity of their own other than "screw you America! I'm

>Not all campaigns of slaying sacred cows are the same Yeah. Your sacred cows are not OK to ridicule, but when it's The Other, definitely their sacred cows should be ridiculed, and it's hilarious . But what happens when you

Banning MTG cards is absolutely cancel culture in action, and is a completely indefensible act. Anyone who supports it is supporting cancel culture. Stone-throwing Devils isn't a racial slur, unless it's one of those weird things

The number of McDonald's in Europe makes me doubt your words. In fact, here we are at visible status markers again. "My ingroup does this high status display, but your ingroup (my outgroup) has low status and we would never do

Cancel culture cancelled. Good luck getting your next job if you have Paw Patrol on your resume. Magic: the Gathering banned the card "Stone-throwing Devils" because it reminds people of Antifa.

Nobody was interested in what mass murderers have to say. It just inspires more mass murderers. Did anyone read the manifesto of the New Zealand mosque killer? It was censored for a reason.

Slaying sacred cows is all fun and games and everyone loves South Park for it. Right up until the point at which your own sacred cows are slaughtered. Then suddenly it's not funny any more. Blaspheming the sacred has long been grou

Artistic value? With the ugly hump? That hump isn't just physically ugly, it's socially ugly as well. It is where the elites congregate. Anything that diminishes their status relative to our own is a good thing.

No way, those things will be still flying 50 years from now. They hit a sweet spot in economical flying.

The Concorde was done in by fuel prices, and because it was a small aircraft. I visited one in a museum and it was claustrophobic. Also nobody should be sorry that elites have to sit on long overseas flights just like we do. The A380 was

This is them displaying high status among their peer group. YOU see it as a low status marker because you're higher than them. Being able to look down on people is a sure sign of being higher relative status. It's one reason why

OK, we humans don't know each other, so visible status markers are very important. Status is super important to us, even if we deny it is (anyone who says so already has high status). When you display low status markers like lentils,

That's the new thing. When a film doesn't agree with the reviewer's political biases, he never admits it. Instead, the movie is terrible and nobody should see it. Remember Joker and the terrified reaction to it? It got pan

So they need to retrain for another job. Technological unemployment is here to stay. If people in another country can make food that is better and cheaper, well that's globalism.

Being of low status, avoiding markers of low status is extremely important. You're not low status, so you can freely display such markers with no fear that anyone would conclude that you're lower class. It's an amazing privil

These are people who thought South Park was on "their" side, only to get ridiculed by South Park. Thus they feel bitter and have to lash out. They don't realize that they are the authoritarian jerks that South Park despises.

These 70s radicals never went to prison, and today they run our universities. Do you not know about the Long March through the institutions? Where do you think Critical Theory came from?

Since when did conservatives use Tumblr? Same reason as Facebook: advertisers don't want their ads shown next to controversial content. As a matter of fact, the LGBTQIA+ communities aren't all about sex, and it's homophobic
