Isn't this classic supervillain logic?

>>91314881
Yeah, that sounds like a villain's origin story monologue.

>>91314881
No, it's pretty standard sociology.
you gotta learn the rules and how the world works as a kid so that you can fit into society
then when you grow up you gotta unlearn the rules so that you're cognizant of what your options are and you feel it in you gut that you can choose to stop playing whenever you want and that someone's failure to play by the rules isn't a failure at being a human being.

or to put it another way if your life gets too much you really can just pack and up go live innawoods or go backpacking or whatever, and going to jail over a mistake you made isn't the worse thing that can happen to you.

you've seen it too, havn't you? the massive guilt complex spread from end to end in western culture? white guilt, christian guilt, political guilt, yadayada. Unlearning the rules is a direct antidote to that kind of self-doubt.

Stuff like this just reminds me that more than any other kind of superhero the super geniuses are the ones that are incredibly useless.

It is and I'm pretty sure I've seen almost literally every single super-genius-villain use this exact justification to basically.. Do whatever it is they want to do for the betterment of others that are to "stupid".

Like, the leap in logic from, "this world's rules are made to keep ME in line to keep ME under the thumb of the MAN" to "my happiness and well-being- and perhaps the happiness and well-being of others- depends upon my ability to destroy or circumvent these rules."

falling in with 'greater good' rhetoric makes it way easier for knee-jerk fear responses to get translated into short-sighted legislature

You underestimate their level of poverty.

But, yes, at any rate the main point is the Zimbabweens (aka Ex-Rhodesia) basically destroyed their country both environmentally and economically due to their own racism.

This is a comic read and written by people who think basic common sense is a dead concept (see; fucking mansplaining) and who think that it's okay to run around naked and make menstrual paintings. These are people who think things like hypothetical cures for autism are 'ableist' and that not wanting to fuck people who are HIV positive is a form of slut shaming. They think that telling bed ridden hamplanets who are one Big Mac away from getting a leg removed that their weight is killing them and they look like shit is 'fat shaming'. SJWs literally don't believe in common decency or not being entitled pissbabies, neither do they believe in just trying at some minimal level to be cohesive, respectful and co-operative with other people because they consider feelings, over common sense, to be the most important thing in the world.

I feel like tumblr and /pol/ are both testaments to why men and women need to be around each other to keep our society balanced and why it's bad to just leave masses of jaded ones stewing in their own juices with no opposing force telling them what they're doing is fucked, tumblr's fallen into a pit where literally nothing except their feelings matter and /pol/ has fallen into a pit where what they deem to be 'logical' is all that matters to the point of straight up wanting genocides and nearly all traces of empathy have left the more hardcore /pol/acks.

It's not so much that I want a genocide as I see the inevitability of one happening in the West. To be fair I think it's more likely to be enacted upon Europeans than against them.
And in this world, it's better to have no empathy than to have too much of it.

Honestly though, although you don't need to be a supervillain to abandon the arbitrary rules of human society, you DO need to abandon the arbitrary rules of human society to be a supervillain.

Well, who's laughing now, peasants? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? Mwhahahahaha!" and blowing up her home city with a Death Lazer.

>>91319056
It's failure to adapt to reality that is destroying the West. People need to understand that their opinion are just opinions and nothing more, they are not some objective truth that people of other opinions would see as inherently superior and adopt when exposed to them. But it is your opinions and preferences and thus worth eradicating opposition for.

>>91318271
Actively hating "political correctness" is the exact opposite of healthy and productive. That's kind of the whole point of the counter-movement; it's all about being destructively assholish towards others because their freedoms say they can and their victims deserve it.

Based DOOM will save us from her.

Times I wish like this I could draw. On one side of the field teenaged Moon Girl riding on her dinosaur, legions of poorly-made rusty junkbots bristling with homemade missiles and rocket gloves and flamethrowers behind her.

And against them, the steel and silver towers of Latvia, its populace huddled behind their windows. But they do not cower in fear. Instead their proud and worshipful gazes are all upon a single figure in green, standing between the city and Moon Girl's army, his fist raised in defiance. And behind him, the ranks of Doombots, each plated in gleaming chrome, beautiful as Moon Girl's robots are ramshackle and ugly.

If only I could get these images out of my head and onto paper...

>>91319103
That falsehood has been hammered into every skull since it popped out of the womb. The vast majority of the time, when someone is shouted dowm with "THAT'S JUST YOUR OPINION" it's over something that does, in fact, hold a noticeable connection to objective reality. People need to stop shunting certain inconvenient fact into the Opinion Zone in order to act like they mean nothing and must be ignored, and start taking into account things that they know to be true.

oh you fucking pussy grow a god damned spine. Political correctness is basically mealy mouthed facism. You can't say anything mean, but the rules that define mean are arbitrary and made up and can range from actual mean things to things that you just don't agree wiht. And if I violate any of these made up rules, I get to be ostracized by people to afraid to speak up and I get to lose my job. Wonderful!

It's faggots like you that made it possible to violate the first amendment and make it so if I refer to some dipshit by the wrong pronnoun in ny I can get fined a quarter of a million fucking dollars.

>>91319147
Nihilism is an effect, not a cause. Scientific progress exposes more and more facts about the world and demystify it, especially demystify human psyche, the desires, the decision-making, the morality etc.

Building morality and social politics on mysticism in this enlightened era is building a house on shifting sand. And when it inevitably collapse, you blame the contractor, you blame the brick factory, you blame the meteorologists and geologists who provided models to describe mechanisms behind shifting sands, instead of realizing that it was the poor choice of foundation.

>>91319187
Facts are facts, but the choosing a goal is always an opinion. If you think otherwise, just imagine giving me your best argument in favour of your moral system, and me replying "why?" again and again until you give up, leaving your morality suspended in the air, proving me right.

The reason he invokes Random Verbal Atrocity #n in the same breath as his political enemies is so that people will think they're one and the same. It's not as easy to hate people who disagree with him if it's JUST for disagreeing with him, even if he extends that hatred to people who disagree with him but don't commit the atrocities he accuses them of, and withholds it from people who commit those same atrocities but don't disagree with him.

>>91319105
Why is respecting speech codes put into place as a result of the pressure of professional activists 'healthy and productive'? There is a difference between PC and just not being an asshole. You can be against PC and not be in favor of being needlessly cruel. Granted people on 4chan and /pol/ often ignore that distinction but it still exists and is valid. Like, saying a white person shouldn't comment on the facts of an issue relating to black people since they aren't coming from the same 'lived experience' is PC, and it's bullshit. Facts are facts regardless of who observes them. On the other hand running around calling black people niggers and animals is just being an asshole. See the difference?

>>91318872
No, they're outright showing you that black/Latino dykes are hideous.

>>91319221
>choosing a goal is always an opinion
I'd say most people generally agree about the GOALS. All the moral systems you see seriously peddled around are about happiness and prosperity for all people, and the most profound disagreements are on things that at least should be matters of objective reality. Like how do you reach that happiness and prosperity. And what constitutes a "person".

>>91318897
Nope, maybe you're thinking of black spider-man.

>>91319226
>they fight using underhanded cheap tricks
As everybody should?
If your cause isn't worth using trickery, then it really isn't worth much.

>>91315224
Was there ever any doubt?

>>91319332
>And what constitutes a "person".
Yeah, in a way.
Happiness for all is hardly anyone's actual goal. Some say all homo sapience are people. Some say you need to watch your own kind's first. Some say every man for himself. Some think capitalists deserve to exploit the less wealthy because they are superior. Some say workers should kill all capitalists and seize means of production. Some say you owe people welfare. Some say, if you don't work, you die.

>>91317633
I don't see you starting a revolution despite all that fire in your heart. Why not show your way is superior? Go take over a country and create your grand visionary utopia. I'll be waiting here in comfortable conformity.

>>91319321
I'm wondering if the artist has some sort of agenda to make the writer look bad or get the project killed. The art's stylized, but not so much that it gets people to ignore ugliness as

>>91319319
>There is a difference between PC and just not being an asshole.
Not really. Assholes like to claim they're being oppressed while labelling anything they consider offensive "politically correct", and that's pretty much it.

>>91314881
See, there is no problem with mentioning that society doesn't perfectly fit your needs. Nor is there anything wrong with wanting to change it.

What you need to recognise though is that you have no rights to. You are not entitled to shit. Rather, you've got to claw for what you want and know that you might not get it in the end.

It's why I like X-Men when they are done well. They know they don't 'deserve' to have anything. They recognize that they are going to have to fight for it.

Luna acts as if she is some sort of messiah who should be granted this shit. As if society should give it to her. The worst part is that it is, because of the writer’s total mental deficiency we are supposed to agree with this shit.

>>91319319
Because the line is intentionally blurred. People constantly use facts to intentionally hurt others. Like it's a true fact that black people overall in America are poorer, more prone to crime, and less likely to get a good job compared to white people. But assholes end the conversation there and ignore the fact that 98% of blacks aren't poor criminals who respect the law and work for a living.

Christianity IS bad. Particularly in America, there's a malignant extremist population of evangelical Christians rising up who hope to establish a religious hegemony and undermine secular values. Every effort should be made to assure these Christians that they are not going to get what they want.

>>91318949
I'd say Singapore is an example of a country "without emotion" although I hesitate to use those words specifically. Government controls everything, civil liberties are strict, punishments are strict, media is controlled but it's one of the safest, cleanest cities in the world.

But it works because Singapore strives for diversity. Schools teach multiculturalism, immigration policy is designed to get people contributing to society, and the government goes out of their way to create recreational centers that celebrate the city's diversity. In any integrated society things fall apart when people can't trust each other.

>I'd say most people generally agree about the GOALS
And this is why Europe is self destructing now. The notion that people deep down just want the same things, and in principle all disagreements can be settled with open conversation and singing kumbaya, is laughably false and profoundly dangerous, yet it's very common.

The notion that people have inherent dignity and ought to be treated nicely is a rare and parochial value lacking in many societies. One of the world's largest religions holds its highest value as love of god and others. Another holds its highest value as obedience to the commands of god as outlined in a rule set that includes military expansion of theocracies, subjugation of nonbelievers, and execution of apostates.

And since the choosing of goals is, as the other anon mentioned, orthogonal to matters of fact, appealing to happiness or prosperity are useless even if such arguments are factually correct.

>>91319702
>No argument

>>91319383
Those are the means, though, not the ends. People who agitate for workers to seize the means of production don't think of the seizing as the end goal, but as a necessary step in securing good living conditions for the workers. People who argue against welfare don't want others to arbitrarily starve, they just think that it's necessary for a well-running society that limited resources are given to those who KEEP it running.

As for "every man for himself", that isn't really a moral system as much as an absence of one.

>>91319564
They do. The author’s two self-inserts agrees with Luna and states that she is ‘dope’. They also have the frat white kids be the only ones who disagree with her and they don’t exactly have… character outside of being wrong.
That is what makes this comic very frustrating to read. America can be a good character, Ultimates and Young Avengers proved that. She is one of the most dangerous metas on the planet who can punch through space and now time. This could be a story of her maturity of her growing as an individual as she went around the multiverse. Seriously, it could be the Doctor Strange style book that Aaron and Hopeless lack the imagination and balls to produce. This has no creativity. It’s just… bland and pandering.
I mean, I love the shit out of Ultimates because it does something I love. It is a group that despite the current state of Marvel ignores pandering to its audience to tell a story. All of the characters have personality and flaws and there is a plot which looks and feels epic.

Well who decides what facts are okay to say? The left uses facts like 'the West used slavery and colonialism' but ends the conversation there and ignores that the whole world used slavery and that Western civilization also brought great things. The media actively avoids mentioning those crime statistics you noted to the point where a lot of people are completely ignorant about those disparities and therefore assume that any time a black man is shot by police it must be because the police are racist. How can anyone deal with problems if they aren't acknowledged? Let's allow all facts to come out and not have anyone dictating to us which facts are not allowed. Get all the cards on the table so we can hash everything out honestly and openly.

Not being a criminal and respecting the law and working if able is normal, it's what you're supposed to do, it's what we expect of everybody, so it doesn't bear drawing any attention to it. You don't get a medal for doing what you're supposed to do as a normal functioning human being. The exceptions where people don't act normally are what draws our attention. That's why the nightly news is mostly bad news. If it was just an endless litany of 'Today a man went to work, and then took his daughter out for ice cream' no one would watch it because that's what you're supposed to be doing as a human. It's the murderers and rapists that draw our attention because those are problems that need to be solved.

Europe's doing fine! I agree that the acknowledgment of a shared destiny is necessary for a people to thrive. And I have faith that we'll get there eventually.

Again, "facts without context" are harmful. You get "your cards on the table" and what next? It's just an endless pissing match.

So you look at crime statistics and what does it say to you? Assholes go "look, these are the people causing the problems get them out." But a rational person dives deeper, says that the problems are caused by a dozen different factors. Then other people say those factors are fine, because they're a non issue for most people (fact) BUT the people they are an issue with are the ones they're complaining about in the first place.

Facts are pointless. It's how you apply them that's important. And as it stands nobody wants to have that conversation because it ultimately reveals that the things they believed in for their whole lives are broken. Or that they need to mildly inconvenience themselves to make things better for others.

>>91319670
>Evangelical christians

Evangelical christians aren't the whole christendom.
It's like saying all muslims are suicide bombers or all jews are bankers controlling the market from both political sides.

The constitutions of the vast majority of countries in the west are based on christian values, many of the ancient greek, arabic and roman writings were passed from christian monk to monk since centuries.
Modern hospitals, orphanages and universities are based on the christian version.
Even the modern economic recording system was made by christians.
Some countries wouldn't even have free healthcare if it weren't thanks to the church.

Native Europeans generally want secular states with pluralistic, multicultural societies, mixed capitalism with a generous welfare state, and a high material standard of living. The current wave of muslim migrants (mostly unaccompanied fighting-age men illiterate in their native language) want a nice place to settle down with available women (polygamy in their homelands means there is a shortage of women for the general male population), a generous welfare program, and a culturally homogeneous theocratic state, with no one but members of their specific religious variant around to spark conflicts like the ones endemic in their homelands.

>unimaginative peoples will die off and the creative ones will thrive

Statistically insignificant, you should be more worried about street crime from gangbangers. This is another point, like the guy above said facts without context are harmful. Well how about the media imbalance where any time a school shooting or spree killing (or yes, terrorism too) happens an inordinate amount of time is focused on that when the rate of people dying of gang-related or drug-related shootings should rationally be far more of a concern. That's just business as usual because it's constantly happening and so we've just stopped talking about it.

Black Maria

>Yes. [At one point, another character,] the fire chief, describes how the minorities, one by one, shut the mouths and minds of the public, suggesting a precedent: The Jews hated Fagin and Shylock - burn them both, or at least never mention them. The blacks didn't like Nigger Jim floating on Huck's raft with him - burn, or at least hide, him. Women's libbers hated Jane Austen as an awfully inconvenient woman in a dreadfully old-fashioned time - off with her head! Family-values groups detested Oscar Wilde - back in the closet, Oscar! Communists hated the bourgeoisie - shoot them! An on and on it goes. So whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.

Curious that you say that. The hallmark of psycopathology is a lack of empathy due to a particular cognitive deficiency. But empathy is learned in the first place, and humans are naturally tribal, with only "in-group" people subject to empathic reasoning by default. Have you ever seen the casual cruelty of children? Nice societies teach children to treat others how they want to be treated, and enough typically pick it up to perpetuate the niceness of that society. But not all societies do that. You know that may parts of Africa are controlled by warlords that conscript children and raise them in combat, right? That doesn't come from nowhere. It ties nicely into the prevailing tribal systems and casual disregard for outgroups. The religions that told people to be nice to strangers as a general policy were novel at one time, and they took over because such societies work better than what prevailed previously.

It doesn't surprise me that you haven't personally met people from outside dignity cultures, since groups of them tend to live in ghettos and war zones, which are prudent to avoid as a matter of course. But supposing you live in the US, Mexico has a rather robust cartel system if you want to take a closer look without having to take a plane trip.

The last time I went to /lit/, it was just a bunch of high school dropouts circlejerking over Ayn Rand.

Actually I've seen this exact same rant online from a million Libertarians.

"Systems aren't designed to make ME great" and "I shouldn't have to follow any rules or be nice to other people, I am Special and better than others" falls neatly right alongside "Statists are cucks" and "taxation is theft."

Communists don't tend to go on rants about the importance of Great Men (Women, whatever) and abolishing systems/rules/asking people to be polite to others.

That's the point, PC people know they can't prove their opponents wrong so they try to prevent their opponents arguments from being expressed in the first place.

>>91320370
>PC people know they can't prove their opponents wrong
The smart and cynical ones know this. The true believers don't regard things like evidence, proof, and reasoning as things that matter. Such things are entirely unrelated to their ideological point and methodology.

No matter how "different" ideologies sound most people are just self-serving and advocate for whatever helps them in that moment. Neuroscience actually show that since we know now that when people make these arguments the parts of the brain that deal with emotion and base survival light up while the logic and reason areas stay dark. A /pol/tard that advocates White Power who woke up black with no way to change back would be all about Black Power. People just support whatever they think will personally help them that day for the most part and rationalize anything at all as being "objectively" true because of their kneejerk feelings.

>"So what the fuck are you going to do about it? How much do you want it, and how much are you willing to pay for it?"
People need to realize that if they want to flaunt society's rules, they need to be willing to pay the consequences for doing so. If you're going to make a decision, take responsibility for it. Whining about how it was the only way to express yourself to the people who take you in for breaking the law isn't going to cut it.
The problem I have with her presentation is how she's blaming other people for reacting to the way she acts in a way she doesn't like.
Yeah, so? If you're not willing to take the heat, back down and reconsider why you got the reaction you did. Not every hill is worth dying on, and figuring out where your non-negotiable are is an important lesson in life.
You're not promised anything, not a system that fits your needs, not health, not money.
The reason why so many systems force people into line is because they work- for the moment, at least, not always in the long run. You're not allowed to kill people whenever they insult you because that sets a precedent for political instability, which doesn't benefit a terribly high amount of people.
Life's not fair. You want to play the game, learn the rules. I can't guarantee you'll get where you want, but trying to move the goalposts when everyone else has agreed where they are is looking for a world of hurt from people who don't want to re-adjust their life to meet your standards.

Why does every cunt with a high GPA think they're the hottest shit in the world, that despite no real experience, skills or accomplishments they're entitled to thinks they haven't worked to achieve. You lean those rules so you can develop the skills needed to function in society/

No matter how smart you are nobody's going to give you a executive job out of school, you won't get a loan for a start up without some form of credit or collateral and nobody's going to want to work for someone who hasn't prove themselves potty trained so much a leader.

It reminds me of why I got fed up with the CW's flash. Girlfriend Journalist goes to work for a newspaper or some other shit and thinks she's going to walk in their day one and be handed the Nixon impeachment or that her case is going to make page 1 without any verification. Then she pouts and complains about how the old farts are wrong to keep her down because they've all been around for years and paid their dues and learned the ropes and know how the business works. But not doing that shouldn't stop girlfriend journalist she's got moxy and that's what matters.

Doesn't that contradict your earlier argument? About people not fundamentally wanting the same things. Assuming you're >>91319712.
Wanting to help five people you personally know is still "happiness and prosperity for all people" if those five guys are the only ones you really recognize as PEOPLE. And yes, maybe that is stretching the definition of the word to the point where it becomes meaningless, but whatever.

I'll agree that the "compassion for all human beings" thing is learned, though.

Don't see it. Sounds exactly like those people who are into family tree collecting, history, etc.

Put another way, C-Span shows people beaming with pride over their relations and histories to presidents like Andrew Jackson and nobody (except SJW nazis) calls them crazy/racist.

Now that comic did have a lot of other examples of America being a racist bitch and sterotypes. Its to the point that if a white male was writing this it'd be comic book black face.

>Doesn't that contradict your earlier argument?
No. Not all tribe members want to help members of the tribe. Since individuals care about different things and all (hint: happiness and prosperity aren't universally considered good things).

But also fundamentally here, "support my tribe's interests" is a subjective rather than objective goal. Two people from different tribes can be said to both "care about their tribes" but is objective terms this translates to one person caring about people A, B, and C, while the other cares about people X, Y, and Z.

It's funny because the lesson in her series right now is that she CAN'T just do whatever she wants, because that leads to people she cares about getting hurt, and that even though she's technically smart, she needs to recognize and listen to good advice from people with more life experience.
