The Coddling of the American Mind (discussion thread)
ShamefurDispray replied to LostCosmonaut's topic in Open Discussion
http://theweek.com/articles/441474/how-academias-liberal-bias-killing-social-science http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1968042,00.html The problem with liberalism in academia is usually connected to the liberal sense of superiority over others. Combine that with an overwhelming amount of liberalism in academia, it's difficult to express different opinions, especially if you are going to be discriminated against. My old politics professor is the only non-liberal professor in his department and he gets pretty badly discriminated, especially when it comes to getting funding as his papers are usually anti-free market and how unimportant a municipal government is. -

You're Not Pronouncing Chaucer Properly

Anglo-Saxon English or Old English changed quite a bit after the Norman conquest. -
It's not exactly fascism per say, but mass movements in general. Fascism was just the most extreme example of a mass movement. Today's mass movements are ridiculous, have ridiculous aims, ridiculous reasons for the mass movements themselves and a ridiculous number of people who follow the ridiculousness.

There is a surprising amount of people who value animal life much greater than human life and would happily sacrifice the person (as long as they don't know them personally) or several people to save the life of one animal. Because "the animal hasn't caused any harm" or some answer like that. It's pretty fucked up really.

I don't think ERA would be too hard to model. Just have a separate armor value for not yet hit and after being hit in that region with a sufficiently powerful weapon. When it hits, make it explode and give it some splash. Modelling it efficiently is a different question though. I'm just curious about how they will do ATGMs with the engagement ranges we have.

Personally, the (over)reactions made me much more upset. People blindly rally behind something they don't know all the facts about and completely overreacting and doing ridiculous things like making death threats and trying to completely ruin his life. What's even worse is that politicians and celebrities are adding fuel to the fire and blowing it up further to appear "morally right" and get more "likes". If it was a person or any other lion, people will likely not even bat an eye. And then a year later, people probably won't even remember Cecil the lion and move on to overreact about something else. What's disturbing about all this is how similar this is to the fascist movements in the 1920s and 30s that you read about, mass movements of people blindly rallying behind causes they don't really understand and then doing terrible things that they think are supposed to be "morally righteous". The entire thing makes me feel really uncomfortable.

ERA and ATGMs are not modelled yet. However, ATGMs will be surely introduced at some point because the Bradley has 7 TOWs in its inventory. ERA is on a lot of unit models so they might be implemented at some point. The guns are placeholders too. All main guns currently have KwK 43s as their weapon, with AP/HE/APCR loadouts.

http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/sometimes-its-just-easier-to-care-about-dead-lions-than-dead-people/ This article sums up a lot of my thoughts about this whole fiasco. Personally, I feel downright appalled at the reactions to what the dentist did. Yes, he was in the wrong for poaching whether wittingly or not but the reactions are ridiculous. People are placing the value of the lives of animals much greater than those of other human beings. People are calling for him to be lynched and trying to ruin his life and make him go into poverty at the same time, they talk about how morally good they think they are. Meanwhile local Zimbabweans don't even feel anything about the issue of a lion being poached, especially with hundreds dying from lion attacks every year. There are no mentions of the local Zimbabweans who are dying of starvation, live in destitute poverty with a corrupt government but a lion gets killed and everyone is up in arms. /rant tl;dr I am disgusted at people for being massive hypocrites and that many place the value of the life of animals much greater than those of fellow human beings
