No, he didn’t. Check out the John Stewart highlights of it. It was horrible.

Were those errors that the drive was full?

Why did you cancel Drive?

ProtonMail is pretty awesome and makes it very easy to switch.

A better solution might be to not travel to communist countries.

IDK, the National Museum of African American History serves fried chicken every day, so they don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

Me too

Is it just me or is the woman in the blue dress missing a leg?

This channel is awesome!

They’re using “enshittification of mainstream film” as in the film industry, not film the physical media. You can definitely use the term for the film industry. That being said, IDK if I’d attribute its enshittification to Lucas. I’d say it’s more capitalism / catering to the lowest common denominator that’s causing too much / bad CGI.

Similar to OG Beauty and the Beast. Originally the Beast was kind from the start and it was all about appearance. Disney changed it so he was a fixer upper. Kinda misses the whole point.

Eighth grader vs full grown adult? Yes.

I am truly appalled that nobody has posted Born Mobile yet. I’ll do the honors:

No, slavery and dealing with oppressive totalitarian regimes is never okay.

decades too late

Actually almost 100 years now.

I think a better example than the Git one I gave is the whole idea that anyone anti-Trump needs to vote blue no matter who. I was a huge supporter of Sanders, but I do not want to support Clinton. The entire vote blue no matter who thing really exemplifies exactly what we’re talking about here: it doesn’t matter if you dislike Clinton or Biden - you need to vote for them because they aren’t Trump.

Your actual opinion doesn’t matter. You need to vote for the candidate your party picks. Seems pretty authoritarian to me.

Maybe we’re talking past each other here. We aren’t saying there is an opposite of authoritarianism which is extremist. We’re saying opposites like liberal vs conservative can be polarized to extremes, and the result of both is authoritarianism.

For example, a lot of Republicans try to ban books on homosexuality, trans people, etc. from libraries / public schools. There are also a lot of Republicans who seem support some racist political policies.

That leads to extremist views from the other side as well. For example, some software development companies ban the use of the word “master” for the main Git branch. This was the standard name since the beginning of time for Git, and was used in the context of it being the source of truth, like “master’s degree” or “master blacksmith”. It has absolutely nothing to do with a master / slave relationship, and isn’t racist in any way. Yet a LOT of people argue that it doesn’t matter - if someone feels uncomfortable about the word being used, we shouldn’t use it.

I think that’s a form of authoritarianism as well. Both examples are uneducated people who dislike something wanting to see it banned for everyone due to their own ignorance. It doesn’t matter that the second example is trying to be socially/ racially conscious. They’re wrong, uneducated, and trying to impose their own beliefs on others due to ignorance.

The less extreme approach to educate people more, and for people to calm down, have open, constructive discussions. Trying to understand the person you perceive as an enemy can be very rewarding for both parties and for society in general.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for a pretty solid, common sense take. You’re 100% right.

I think what they’re saying, and what I agree with, is polarization leads to extremists. Our society is full of stupid people, and catering to the lowest common denominator means painting your opposition as a caricature and yourself to be the polar opposite of them.

Fascism and authoritarianism are extremes. If we have a less polarized political environment then there is room for subtlety, nuance, and understanding.
