LMAOistRebelNews 2: Shoot the Moon

No comments:
This is what happens when you listen to RT, you believe shit.



In he reads a story from RussiaToday that recently (and by that he means over 13 years ago) a program came to light about Project A119 which had a plan to set off a nuke or hydrogen bomb on the moon. While it's true that was something they considered, it was not a plan to "blow up" the moon as he and the RussiaToday (or as I like to call it, KremlinToday.) He also talks to Sagan as a way compliment his achievements to rationalize with him about blowing up the moon. Does he even know Segan died a couple decades ago?  Even if he was alive he wouldn't be watching shitty uninformed videos from a avowed Maoist.

No, they weren't planning to blow up the moon. There's no way the US scientists at the time (which included the great Carl Sagan) weren't high enough to think any bomb we had could "blow up" the moon.

Now because Jason here couldn't be bothered to learn about the space race, this wasn't a knee jerk reaction to incite violence on the moon (I feel so embarrassed for him as I type this knowing someone holds this position.) The point was to show technological capabilities in a time when the Soviets were a threat. If it could be shown to the soviets we had a technological advancement too, it would (in theory) hold off a nuclear war. In the end they opted to put people on the moon, which they did and happy we are for that instead of detonating a nuke on the moon and 'Mericaland won the space race.

See kids, this is what happens when you take RussiaToday seriously  You believe garbage. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go blow up the moon!

I haven't seen any really dumb Facebook pics in a while, but I have seen some dumb shit come from MaoistRebelNews. For those of you who who don't know, he's a white privileged heterosexual male reaping the rewards in a capitalist country complaining how the other privileged heterosexual male reaping the rewards in a capitalist country don't know what it's like to be poor.

He has TL;DR blogs about, among other things, that Stalin really didn't kill lots of people and how he's ass hurt about a Facebook picture calling Amanda Todd a whore. He also pretends to be a journalist on YouTube while giving his opinions on the latest story from RussiaToday and PressTV, bashing America, and pining how he'd love to live in the DPRK.



Anyways, it's always east to stroll though some of his shit and find outrageously poor researched quotes, blazing ignorance and flat out dishonesty. It's shooting fish in a barrel but I'm out of content so...





The link links to a story about a Cuban a trans-woman was elected to a local office in Cuba. I believe he's trying to say that Cuba, the great socialist paradise, is more advanced on the LGBT front. The problem is there's this thing called reality and he's totally detached from it. Stacie Laughton (D-NH) was elected to the state's House of Representatives earlier in the month. (She is in resignation limbo at the time of this post regarding her status as an ex-felon and the fact she never disclosed it during the campaign.) But let's not forget Joanne Conte (CO) and Althea Garrison (D-MA.) I have to ask, where's all the elected transgendered politicians in the great progressive country of Canada, eh?





He starts off the video by saying Red Dawn is just a propaganda peace to inspire nationalism and jingoism into preemptively bombing North Korea. The problem is the decision to make it about North Korea was a last minute change in editing to appeal to Chinese audience. It is true that North Korea is poor and the narrative still is well established in facts, to say that the movie is made to whip up jingoism into a war with North Korea kind of goes against what the makers had in mind. Why bother to look into it at all when you can just ASSume the facts? I wish I could live in a world like MRN where his uninformed opinion is real like facts.

While it's unrealistic that a group of kids and a off duty solder could ward off an invading country is highly improbable is true. However, Hollywood isn't interested in making action movies with super realistic plots, they're interested in making flashy movies that sell tickets. I don't remember people going "Boondock Saints would of been good if the firefights were more realistic. There's no way they could of survived that!" No, idiot. It's a work of fiction and supposed to be grander than life. The new Red Dawn didn't suck because it had an unrealistic plot, it sucked because it was a peace of shit. If you want reality; watch a documentary, if you want mindless action go see a real movie.  (And no, Michael Moore doesn't count as a real documentary.)

There's nothing to indicate that the makers of this film intended to advocate an invasion of North Korea, if anything it would be China considering that's what it was originally filmed as. Considering they are wanting to market it to Chinese it probably means they just wanted to have a good ol' mindless war movie with explosions and guns. You're just reading into it without having any command of reality, per usual.

I don't know why I'm wasting my time on this moron. I guess it is fun to pick on the special needs kids from time to time I guess.

TheTrueIdiot

2 comments:
There's a guy on YouTube a lot of you might be familiar with called 'TheTruePooka.' He tried to engage with me, and having seen his bad videos before, was expecting him to fuck everything up as soon as I noticed he responded. Which he did.

However, that's not what I'm going to address here because a minor strawman doesn't hold a candle to the Twitter exchange of fail that followed proving that TheTruePooka lives in a fantasy land where he's always right and everyone else should know better even if it requires psychic abilities or accepting things you never said.

He finds a tweet I made on May 19th. 6 months ago. Now I know he didn't stroll though twitter stream reading it for hours until he got into tweets I made 6 months ago. Just out of curiosity I just Googled our Twitter names and the only result I got was that tweet so I'm guessing that's how he found this:
I love how TheTruePooka love to chime in on shit he knows nothing about. Jews For Jesus is even nutter than VFX, always has been.
He responds:
 I love how people toss out strawman arguments thus showing their total ignorance.
Of course a strawman argument  is when make an argument for your opponent and then attack that instead of their real argument. Seeing how the tweet never attempts to even talk about his argument or assigns a position to him, he's of course inferring a position on me. Essentially he's strawmanning me by accusing me of strawmanning him. The irony is too rich.

The point I was making (if it isn't clear as fucking day) was simple: That he was ignorant of how crazy J4J is if he thinks having a rational dialog will make them reconsider anything. A bit of context made a video the day before (May 18th 2012) asking J4J to have a rational dialog with him regarding them having VenomFang X preach in his neighborhood.

Seeing how Jews for Jesus is a thought reforming abusive cult and their crazy past, I knew it was a fool's errand to rationalize with crazy people. Granted I do the same with conspiracy nuts, but mostly that's for my own enjoyment. He did call his local New Yorkers to help do the same, so it was pretty clear he wanted something to come of this outside of amusement. So what did I strawman him with? Well according to TheTruePooka, he could read my mind and find the true reason I made that tweet:

@JimJesus Show me where I implied J4J are "not nutty". That's your strawman. You need to work on your basics.
When I tell him I implied no such thing he demands to provide an explanation evidence of my cognitive records.
 @JimJesus Provide explanation and evidence 2 back up your original tweet. Don't change the topic. Again. Or are you too much of a simpleton?
To which I did explain.
@TheTruePooka My tweet isn't implicating anything you're asserting. That was my problem with your video, J4J is crazier than VFX (cont.)
@TheTruePooka and attempting to reason with them is a fool's errand. Also, you're a fool so... :/

And I still stand by that given the information at the time. Remember I made this tweet on May 19th. On May 22nd he made a video clarifying his position here and did a BlogTV with "TrollingWithLogic" (which I can't find a back up of. if you know of this place comment below and I will place it here.) Pooka says:


@JimJesus you dumbass. You absolutely missed the purpose of those videos. #GoToTheBackOfTheClass @JimJesus You obviously missed the follow up. You failed because again; You didn't do your research & homework.
@JimJesus You obviously missed the follow up. You failed because again; You didn't do your research & homework. 
@JimJesus This is the same shit you're doing in comments. Talking about shit without all the facts. Arguing from ignorance.
We go back and forth and he clarifies his position saying that he wasn't trying to reason with J4J and VenomfangX, he was using them. "#LocalPolitics." He told me he clarified it in a later video made 2 days after the tweet. Now this is an honest mistake and I try to point this out to him.

@TheTruePooka So you're saying I should know what's in your videos before you make them?
Now this is when he says "OK, I see. You made a tweet before all the facts were out. I can see how you misunderstood considering the facts were not made available to you. Here's the videos where I expound on why I made that video"

Right?


Pooka:

@JimJesus I also have done an earlier video addressing the J4J. And despite being Nutty they are part of NYC interfaith #ToeTheLine
That's fine. However this still doesn't mean ex-ante my tweet was inaccurate  The video was clear you wanted to open a dialog with them. You had ulterior motives, fine. No one knew that at the time, why should I be omnipotent.

Pooka:
@JimJesus 0.o I made the video ages ago. You seem to be still supporting the idea I'm ignorant of them with present tweets.
No, I was defending my position at the time before you made the video so I didn't have to bother finding out the purpose of the video. Granted I didn't know these videos exist because I don't watch your videos as I've told you. I saw that one and commented on it. At the time and the information available at the time, it was not inaccurate. Even taking into account the previous video that did exist at the time.

@JimJesus This video is prior to the tweet if it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQmVvMMa6RM 

To which I respond "And this clarifies your point about making a video to J4J about VFX? Pooka, you dun goofed."

Sorry, Pookie. Your video, as presented, was making clear you wanted to open a dialog with J4J which I found ignorant. Again, I don't watch your channel, I've never been a subscriber, and I avoided having a dialog with you given your extreme irrationality on many topics you discuss, including many I agree with you overall on.

There's silence for 2 hours. I figured he might of done something else for a bit, reflected, and/or just dropped it. It's not like I could have known what he was going to say before he said it, nor is it a big deal he didn't take the timeline of events into full consideration. Unfortunately, we're still talking about Pooka here.

Pooka:
@JimJesus No that addresses your claim of; "I'd never commented on J4J prior to your tweet" & "You're ignorant". Jim you dun goofed.
@JimJesus Impression I'm getting is you failed in winning the relevant arguments so you're now grasping at straws here on twitter. #LetItGo

So when he realizes he makes a total ass of himself he doubles down and lies. I never said he said he never commented on Jews For Jesus, nor did I imply it, nor did I hint at it, nor did that thought even cross my mind so he can't even say he read my mind.

Give it up Pooka, you're a human too. You fuck up just like anyone else.

Sorry, I was pooping...

No comments:
I wish to say I'm sorry to those who've been following my blog and not seen any updates recently. As some of you may have seen I've been making 'YouTube Poops' lately. Have a watch and enjoy



Just a fair warning; the first 3 aren't that great. I was still new to the art. They do get progressively better as they go. 

Black and White Perspectives in a Very Grey World

No comments:
Now before I delve in, I would like to point out that EagleEye1975 did a video on this earlier today which did get me more interested in this phenomenon, but it wasn't until today that I was swimming up to my eye balls in this kind of fail logic that inspired me to do a blog post.

I want to lay out some facts here and listen carefully:


  1. Drone strikes are better than conventional methods of attacks which cause greater amounts of collateral damage. 
  2. The NDAA doesn't authorize the arbitrary indefinite detention of US citizens. 
  3. Marijuana is illegal at the federal lever regardless of state law, don't be surprised if you find yourself raided by the D.E.A.
  4. Alex Jones is not COINTELPRO
  5. Hamas is a terrorist organization.
  6. Obama is a terrible president. 
  7. Feminist patriarchy theory often falls into unfalsifiable claims and often skews statistics to support their causes (i.e. wage gap)

Now before you read on let those juggle around in your brain for a moment and then continue...
