I don't know, I'm a little over the sneering genre of "Americans should feel terrible," because many people in this country don't agree with the current and past administrations, and I feel like the "Americans suck" or "ugly American" stereotype erases them. Plus, other countries have embarrassments and faults as well.

Don't put children in cells with strange adults. Keep them with their parents. Someone needs to explain to me why this is difficult. Japanese internment camps kept families together. Furthermore, since you're concerned, children separated from their parents can also be easy victims of violence.

Okay, when I said she didn't say "be more aggressive," I was responding to Dore's implication, which was that Maddow wants war, and will smear any effort against war as a Putin-engineered conspiracy. I also meant she didn't say "be more aggressive" in the sense of advocating for amplified hostility.

You are right that she is criticizing Trump for meeting with Kim Jong-un, but I think it's in the context of what she perceives to be a nebulous, unproductive meeting that saw Kim gain more than Americans. I don't think that Maddow is against peace, and I don't think that Maddow is against meeting with Kim Jong-un on any reasonable terms. I'm willing to grant that (to some degree or another), her exact feelings are up to interpretation.

But she's literally admonishing the meeting merely because it's what Kim Jong-un wants, which means she is against any diplomatic compromise because by definition that means a mutually-agreed deal for peace where both sides give and take concessions (in other words, each side gets what they want to some extent).

It sounds weird to say that Rachel Maddow "wants" war, but as far as her actual words go she is leaving zero possibility for hashing out a peace plan being a good idea.


I disagree, I don't think she is admonishing the meeting merely because it's what Kim wants, I think she's admonishing the meeting in part because that's what Kim wants, but not necessarily solely because that's what he wants. I'm not looking at her comments in Jimmy Dore's clip in isolation. I'm looking at the entire thrust of her perspective, in part based on the clip provided in the OP's link and the nearly twenty minute clip of the segment online:

(
)

I think that she is against meeting with Kim Jong-un (and thereby serving his propagandistic interests), in the context of a meeting that does not provide Americans with firm, worthwhile concessions. If we were to actually get something worthwhile, concrete, and meaningful, I don't think that Maddow would be against it for the sole reason that it would be a meeting desired by Kim Jong-un. I don't think she's that pigheaded. I may not wrong, but that's my take.

That video was awful. Jimmy Dore just loves putting words in people's mouths. She never said "Be more aggressive!" She asked, "What are we getting?"

"Ending military exercises isn't 'withdrawing our presence.' We still have more bases and troops in SK than in Japan. We will still have a fleet stationed in the South China Sea. We will still have THAAD along the border. All we are doing is suspending military exercises that MANY nations see as hostile."

Okay, that's fine, but that doesn't change the rest of your mischaracterization.

I actually don't like Jimmy Dore but Maddow is flat-out criticizing Trump for meeting with Kim Jong-un and the alternative to detente is the same dangerous situation we've been in for decades. So her clear implication is continued belligerence.

Q: What has Kim 'gained?

A: A cessation of military exercises.


Shi Yinhong, an international relations expert at People's University in Beijing, said Trump's pledge to halt military maneuvers is, from China's perspective, almost "too good to be true."

https://www.npr.org/2018/06/13/619464740/north-koreas-media-touts-trump-concessions-you-won-t-find-in-the-joint-statement

Now, I ask you, what did we gain in exchange?

How, exactly, is that in and of itself a gain? That article doesn't say, meaning you haven't answered the question.


No. I did answer the question. You refused to answer my question. Instead, you're asking me to describe why the North Koreans value Trump's concession. Or, do you think that rational actors make meaningless requests amidst negotiations?

Some view them to be a successful leash on North Korean aggression.

"Both in South Korea and Japan, there are mixed views on the military exercises. While many support the close military co-operation with the US as a key ally for the security it provides, critics say they are an unnecessary provocation and stand in the way of easing tensions with Pyongyang. "The country's defence minister, Itsunori Onodera, said drills and the US military presence in South Korea were "vital to security in East Asia"."

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44464241

Kim got what he wanted. We call that a gain. Now, tell me what we got.

No, she's literally saying that his actions are literally made to serve our enemies because they do nothing to promote our interests.

Withdrawing our presence in Korea is bad without meaningful concessions from the NK government, and is potentially occurring because of Putin's influence.

Sad_Face, you do understand my point. I think we differ in that I think innovating Classic MM should be easy.

Veggeta, I don't want new Classic MM games if they're not going to be more ambitious than this. They need to seem like they're trying. If Classic MM disappears, oh well. It's not as if they were doing anything cool with it anyway.

I have a strong feeling even if it met your standard graphically you'd probably find something else to complain about.


You would be right, because it wasn't the graphics that I complained about, it's the utterly tired playstyle. I would've inquired as to why they couldn't have added 2-Player, 2 Robot Master boss battles, greater utility for gained weapons, or more interesting variations on the platforming.


The Gamexplain discussion said that the developers said that there's a focus on experimenting with enemy weapons to get through the levels. You might get what you want here. The 2 Robot Master Boss battles would probably be better suited for a single stage, not a standard for all battles. I wouldn't see the need to spoil that in a preview trailer if it's in. 2 Player, it would be nice to have.

I expected you to have more out there ideas honestly as to why this looks boring to you. Then again, the 2D genre is super saturated and done to death thanks to the Indie boom so I don't blame you for thinking it's not up to your standards. I for one am glad I have a Classic game I'm interested in playing as opposed to just being interested in supporting to revive the brand to get my Battle Network remake.


It wasn't an exhaustive list. I'm not a game developer. I didn't spend more than three or four seconds of thinking about it. It's just mentioned small things that would make this project more intriguing to me. I also wasn't setting out stipulations. I had no intention of 2 RB Boss Battles ONLY! It was just a suggestion to vary the experience.

This looks okay. I mean, it's been thirty years, you'd think that they would've evolved the gameplay beyond "...but now slowdown time!"

Race is a protected class. There is no distinction between White and Black people.

Fair, but it's reasonable to doubt that Trump would all of a sudden win one of the most liberal states in the union.

States don't matter with a popular vote.


I meant the majority of voters in California.

Don't need a majority of voters in California. All that matters is the majority of the US. He could've found 6 million Republicans in California to vote for him.


I doubt it. No recent Republican has won five million Californian votes, let alone 6.

I don't like the electoral college, but at the end of the day a straight popular vote isn't the right answer anyway. I prefer as many barriers as possible between elections and interference, and a direct two number feed is the easiest thing in the world to alter when the only consideration is which #'s bigger.


This is an argument for security and transparency, not disenfranchisement.

Yeah, I disagree with Trump here

The US is full of many different cultures. The electoral college helps represents that.

All or nothing is shit, though.

For 29 electoral votes, a relatively even split state (Florida) throws all its support behind one party for margins smaller than 2%. Its garbage and we totally need to scale the split to better reflect the balance.


This has been my position for a while, too. It's a crap way to tally votes.

If Trump wanted to win the popular vote he'd have ignored states like Wisconsin and Missouri and instead campaigned in California, Texas, New York, and Florida exclusively.

You don't win a presidency by popular vote, so he didn't do that.

You guys are whining that you lost a chess match because the rules aren't like checkers. It's embarrassing.


Changing the vote changes the campaign process. Granted, it would have affected hillary's strategy as well, but we can't make assumptions as to the result (for either candidate) when we are changing how the game is played, and switching to a popular vote system most certainly does change the game, and we cannot deny that would change how it is played. This may be the only time I ever say this, but I agree 100% with you here, and it would be disingenuous to assume the votes, voter turnout and election results would have been the same or different given the change in the process. We would have to hold actual elections without the electoral college and with only popular vote before we could accurately speak to the trends and results of such a change.

I get it. It's just that 'but if everyone's vote counted equally, then Republicans would always lose!' is an odd argument. It assumes we should have a vested interest in the vitality of the Republican party.

Because voting laws vary from state to state, moving to a popular vote would disproportionately benefit the Democrats. Blue states like NY and California would easily boost their voter turn outs.


...I'm curious, are we supposed to care that actual democracy isn't good for the Republican party?

I don't understand why people think removing statues is erasing history.


What is removing the statue accomplishing if not to "erase" history.


It doesn't erase anything. It belongs in a museum. As is, it's functioning as public commemoration.
