  • Q 1 : visual oxymoron = provocation.

    Q 2 : violence can't be legitimate because of it's necessity.

    Q 3 : i condamn this statement : before the cemetary call the police or use the "legitimate" violence wich is" legitimate autodefense"

    Q 4 : : ak 47 represent just a cheap and reliable affordable convincing tool. no symbol involved here. only practicity.

    Q 5 : interpretation of symbols is social

    the personnal approch is the analyse of it

    interpretation is used only in the group sharing activity

  • how would you feel with DOG'S WITH GUNS. you would not like it ?

  • The supreme court of the united states ruled in a case that ENTIRELY Homemade weapons even fully Automatic ones, that fit the definition of Firearm, ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF REGULATORY POWERS VESTED IN THE CONGRESS and CARRIED OUT BY THE EXECUTIVE. because such weapons did not in any way affect commerce or enter into commerce. So remain free and make your own entirely lawful weapons!

  • Pro-gun cats forever!!!

  • What a pussy,kill it.

  • 2nd Amendment. Don't buy the t-shirt then. Also non-violence doesn't work when men with guns have the balls to use them. Libya and its dictator being an example. Does the pinky show favor a No-fly zone? If not then are we condemning them to death in an unbalanced fight? Kosovo vs iraq shia uprising 1991. we acted in one and didn't in the other. Arabs, US,UK and france should all jump in regardless of UN ruling. UN rulings dictated by china or russian interests. UN is a broken system so is WTO.

  • I would set pinky on fire because I'm much stronger then ask her about "rights"

  • I love this kitty. Who can rationally disagree?

  • I have an AK-47, that's because I love peace but I'm smart enough to know unless everyone plays along there is no peace so I have the means to defend myself and my family 

  • Yup, I love this show. Thank you again for putting these out. My thanks will be coming in the way of a donation.

  • Its even on Flags, The Ak-47 is on the flag of Mozambique(it was anyway, that might have changed)

  • These videos are awesome. It's like the creators of lolcats and Democracy Now co-wrote a show that's so political but so cute.

  • Guns don't kill people.

    People kill people with guns.

  • @Julbomber Guns symbolize protection but it is outmasked by the people that have no good intention to protect the world,just to tragically murder it.

  • @hhamor Indeed.

  • pinkshow is the best non-profit channel on the YouTube

  • From someone seeing their 3rd episode of the PINKY show.

    WOW ! I just discovered the PINKY show about 10 min ago. I suspected after watching 2 videos that this was brilliant, provocative entertainment. Now, I KNOW it is !!!

  • This is a great video!

  • Good video but your shirts are $25!?

  • I like very much the T-shirt in 5:45!!!

  • Only questions 2 and 3.

    2) Yes, violence is always wrong, regardless of who is using it.

    3) Malcolm X was wrong. See: 2 (see also: MLKJr., Ghandi, Jesus)

  • @glocksout jus4fun

    Malcolm X believed in justice but MLK believed in forgiveness - I don't think there is a clearcut answer. Sometimes the government that oppresses us needs to be served justice, otherwise it would only continue its oppression (See, American Revolution, Slavery). Civil disobedience often leads to violence.

    Unless you see Jesus as another man, a prophet (Islam), rather than the son of God (Christianity), I don't think it's fair to categorize MLK with Jesus. Jesus was sinless.

  • @thebodgod MLK believed, and taught, justice. Justice is not "punishment" but "making all things right."

    I didn't categorize MLK with Jesus, I offered them both as an example.

  • God didn't make men equal, General Kalashnikov did.

  • @igd93 Wasn't he a sargeant?

  • Love it!!!!

  • I don't support offensive or preemptive attacks nor the occupation of foreign lands. However, my AK-47 is loaded in the assumption that a defensive position might some day need to be taken to protect my family. My cat seems to be supportive of this. I hope to never believe the media long enough to know who the enemy is (is not)....

  • Well I want a shirt the supports war and guns

  • The issue lies in the AUTHOR of the IMAGE.

    THE "creator" of the image in question.

    Unless this is a deliberately absurdist/dadaist juxtaposition, only the original artist can KNOW the INTENT of the Image!

    When dealing with loaded imagery(no pun intended) of things like AK-47's....it can be said that KNOWING WHY one is creating the image is important.

    For your "show" it would seem SELLING SHIT is your motive.

    So fuck you.

  • @CTYForg -- Put down the joint, then answer the question...

  • @electrodes1300 a) it would be quite nice if i actually DID have a joint

    b) what question?

  • @electrodes1300

    not only that, but i have a BETTER image that I came up with way back in highschool. Its actually a pissed off tree running towards you with a scimitar and a mac10.... shooting.

    Far more profound...and dare I say, actually meaningful.

  • I support the cat, just one question where I can buy a T-shirt!!!

  • Guns in images represent violence, weather to free an oppressed nation or to suppress a nation

  • Guns dont represent violence, violence is in ur mind, a baseball bat represent violence??? for me yes of course cuz I see many tarantino movies where the baseball bat were use to rip off the head of somebody!!! so baseball bat is not a tool or a paly is a weapon see!!!

  • Alight i level with you on that not all guns represent violence. Like a hunting rifle but ak47 how ever does what practical propose does an ak47 serve other then a weapon for soldiers. sure you could hunting with it but the accuracy on it is terrible.

  • I just mainly go around the pinkyshows videos and leave comments which prove her videos wrong. Like in her one video were she bashes violent toys like GI Joe action figures but then has a shirt with a gun. Pinkyshow is a hypocritical and is to the far radical left. I scoff at the people who actually follow this channel.

  • is too different see a litle cat whit a gun that a GI soldier living in a bombarding house whit body parts buddy!!! see the GI is the extremist violence while the T.shirt just represent a funny imagene!!

  • lol what, but what does the gun mean sunshine, violence maybe

  • ironically enough.... when guns were 1st invented, it was meant to lessen war and violence. because a musket allows 1 soldier the same power as 10 with swords and shields. and the more powerful a soldier is, the less soldiers are needed.

    the gun was seen as a way to minimise violence and war casualties by reducing the amount of soldiers in wars

  • that doesn't make sense and who told you that. I believe the reason guns were made to extend a soldiers kill range and for a more lethal weapon. Like why do we have bigger military in terms of numbers then a 100 or 50 years ago?

  • yes, but sometimes violence is the only way to resolve things

  • I concur, but i question why the pinko commie youtube channel of pinky show would have this

  • ahhh the AK-47 now that's a gun ow ya I have one of those and its a fun shoot

  • Dam right it is

  • lol pwned by a cat in an argument!

  • Nice shirt =P

  • I haven't bothered to watch through the video yet, but the idea that a t-shirt design involving cats with guns is somehow inherently anti-peace is ridiculous. There's no need to bend over backwards for people who jump to conclusions.

  • Lets face it, this is all a psycho-sexual issue. I mean who isn't turned on by a picture of Bunny with a AK47? Now excuse me, I need to take a shower.

  • lay off the catnip, kitty

  • interesting they showed a pic of the american overthrow of the chilean government, while they were talking about fighting AGAINST american imperialism. hmm...

  • I love this channel so much

    keep up the great work!

    =^ . ^=

  • =^o.o^=

  • It reminds me of the constant wars in Africa. More importantly, it reminds me of African children who are forced to go to war. The AK 47 is a symbol of mindless killing... such as is in those wars. It is the gun that one of those children would have used thoughtlessly against their parents enemies.

    I think the main purpose of the design is to suggest that we are all aftraid of such a war. That deep down inside, we want peace. Even those who contradict with actions, like BUNNY.

  • I personally think my definition of it is better than that of the designers of the shirt.

    It has more to do with the expression on the cat's face and the gun than the fact that it's a cat.

    The cat looks scared to me. As if she doesn't want to hold the gun.

    The gun is always a symbol for evil and war, so that is the first thing you see. But the cat's expression is that of fear and perhaps sadness that she is forced to hold the gun...

    By who? It doesn't matter. Opressors are all the same.

  • That t shirt is F'n Awesome !!!

  • I so want that shirt!

  • An AK47 means one thing for sure: violence and death. That makes it pretty simple, doesn't it?

  • yeah, and PS to the person who wrote the email. If you "DO NOT WANT a shirt that supports war or guns," how about you buy a different shirt. It's not like the people at PinkyShow were trying to force you to wear it!

  • cats have nails - my cats have- and that's enough..

    I love cats without guns

    -peace is a path

  • Bunny is funny with it's AK-47 or without it. I think that a cat with a gun has only one meaning: FUNNY. I've seen people wearing t-shirts with swastikas or, with the hammer and sickles. I've seen people, especially from USA, with T-shirts that have clear violent messages, yet, these bastards are worries about a cat with an AK47??

    Hell, we have loads of those AK-47, we'll give you the bullets for free as long as you are going to kill americansky!

  • lol, america doesnt have AKs, they were designed by the soviets, and used by rebels all over the world. we have never used them, well never issued them anyways. in vietnam, our m16 would jam a lot (due to lack of maintenance) , so the G.I.s would pick up the dead VCs AKs, cuz they are the worlds most reliable, accurate, and vicious assault rifle. funny part is that pinky was bitching about guns and americas addiction to violencein another vid...

  • Fact: Army Special Forces, SEALs and other elite US forces have employed the AK47 in numerous conflicts and continue to do so (they even have uniquely modified versions). This is due to the widely appreciated reliability of the design.

  • thats what i said homefry.

  • Not to sound like a nerd of any sort, but the AKs used by Special Forces (US) were AK74s (and its variants). I think they also used the AKM (a variant of that of course), but I'm not a 100% sure...

  • The AK-47 does hold an element of anti-Americanism and anti-westernism due to its usage by terrorist cells and of course the Soviet Union, that's true. However, it also has an element of liberation and fighting oppression due to its usage by rebel forces fighting against oppressive regimes. As Pinky says, its a complex image.

  • Ok, lets review your answer for just a bit. It leads me into two more questions. First why is Pinky putting out complex images? I believe they are very simple images; the complex part is trying to make people believe there are other valid interpretations. "It's really a cat turning in a gun that it found!" It is an effort to misdirect the meaning of the image and their effort.

    The second thing is I would like to know about these freedom fighters using the AK-47, who are you referring to?

  • Cat + AK47 = Peace

    Cuz you know there is no more war when a cat learns to hold a gun!

  • Is FOX news biased?

  • Seriously liberals are so easily offended. They need to develop senses of humor.

  • when you know the meaning you understand.

    But when you don't, the first thing you worry about is smaller children thinking its cool or fun to have weapons.

    i like the symbol, and i learn a lot by viewing pinkyshow :)

  • should a done a m-16a2 instead of an ak

  • No, because the m16 represents the US imperialism. It does not have another meaning to it.

    The Ak 47 however has a different meaning to everybody.

  • but I have to agree with the video in saying that the ak can other than an m16 can represent differenet things

  • I guess it's ok if it's going to F**K up the new world order.

  • Comment removed

  • Let's assume bunny is in possession of the weapon because the big dogs have been kicking her butt daily. Invading her home, taking her money, eating her cat food and chasing her up trees. Lets assume she has exhausted all means to remedy this situation. Does she have the right to possess this weapon? What gives her the right? I guess it's because she has the weapon but I don't know.

  • @yoyohooyo self defense

  • @yoyohooyo

    Bunny was born with the right to own the weapon ( so she can protect herself, property etc ). Animals have fangs, and claws. No one has to convince a female ( sow ) Grizzly Bear it does/does not have to right to defend itself and it's cubs. Or if you might doubt this, go find the most docile and sweetest domesticated cat. Close the door and the windows and and try to shove in it a corner and hold it there gently.

  • @yoyohooyo the 2nd amendment?

  • If Bunny's possession of the weapon is the result of her serving in the military then both Bunny and the weapon are tool used to resolve ownership of valuable resources most commonly land rich in resources (oil, gold copper, etc). Bunny's reward will be her survival. If Bunny fails to comply she would be executed, imprisoned, tortured, and/or dishonorably discharged depending on time and geographical location. With luck Bunny will be like Rambo with a great movie career ahead.

  • Bunny seems intelligent and responsible enough to be in possession of a fire arm however what about PMS? I recall a murder trial where PMS was used successfully to find the defendant innocent. That worries me.

  • ps: i post the comment before i watch the video, you said wath i said.

    nice looking bunny

  • i think you pick the ak47 be cause in the past this gun helps the opresed people to reach that wished liberty, gun for the poors and freedom fighters, gun for the ones that want some thing better, gun for the ones that fight against the opresors, gun that broke a thousend chains.

    i feel really sad now be cause all the criminals and opresors are carring this gun for support the things that the ak47 used to fight against.

    wohh i get exited jajajajaj

  • So cute. you tell em kitty. Guns dont kill people , people kill people. Guns are just tools..

  • Gaschambers don't kill people. Germans kill people. Gaschambers are just tools...

    yay how stupid can one be? sorry...

  • No need to be sorry your the idiot here! I forgive your stupidity. Guns have different purposes, i take it from that attitude you do not understand what I meant in that it is the person who makes a "concious choice" to use a weapon to kill someone. They have other purposes as well. Hence why they are just tools. THINK first stupid shit!

  • Gas Chambers were devices meant to specifically kill people. Germans are people that make concious decisions. Huge difference. The only stupid one is you!

  • what other purposes do guns have?

    you can kill/hurt/cripple the "bad" boys with them, as the ak is a symbol for liberation and opression, thats right.

    but they have no unviolent constructive purposes like a hammer or even dynamite.

    sry 4 offending u m8.

  • Some people enjoy sports with target competion shooting. Hunting for pray they intend to eat rather then waste. Its a tool Nothing more. People kill people, people with a desire to kill. a tool cannot kill by itself.

  • how stupid can one be? Ask yourself that question

  • dead pusy you smell

  • Is that thunderf00t?

  • That's an awesome in depth analysis from such a simple comment. The emailer better not be American or it would be irony on so many levels, considering the U.S. is the number 1 arms exporter.

  • The AK-47 to me is a symbol of reliability, and simplicity. You can beat the hell out and it will still fire!

  • guns dont kill people kill -.-

  • Wow Im guessing that it was a eightyear old girl that posted the question. She´s gona be blown away with this level of respons.

  • Hi,

    first of all the AK47 means for me: Liberation!

    Rebels all over the world fought there Independence war with this gun against there white masters which slaved and conquered the country.Ever heard of Africa?Search Wikipedia for Mosambique and Simbabwe.100% WOW! -.-

    Second:THIS is a crappy cartoon!How much would it cost to produce this?Not more than a camcorded movie.This is just for maing money with people naivety.I hope you can sleep well.

  • every single word that cats says does not fit in that piece of paper ( sorry i'm too observent lol)

  • if cats had thumbs....then cats would kill humans and "we" would be eating "catfood" in a can!!!

  • you have too much free time ;P

  • I love that pinky quotes Malcolm X... People have had to STRUGGLE for peace since forever. sometimes that means violence. If one becomes the victim of aggression one has an absolute right to react. If you are under the potential threat being shot, for example, it makes sense to possess a gun. Things aren't so black and white. I simply read the t-shirt as a symbol of that struggle, like peace after revolution. And I like it.

  • I don't know. The meaning of the shirt is pretty ambiguous and can be taken in a lot of different ways. The AK-47, as was pointed out, is pretty controversial. After all, the Kmer rouge also had AK-47s. So did the contras. (It's a symbol of violence and oppression in some contexts.)

    The farthest I would go is to say that bunny, simply by holding an AK-47, is transported into so many different contexts that could be discussed on the show. That in itself is an interesting concept.

  • "The meaning of the shirt is pretty ambiguous and can be taken in a lot of different ways. "

    Yeah, but what I stated is the way I see it. These things go both ways, a gun can be used to oppress or fight oppression. Violence doesn't solve a thing, but I believe its inevitable in some cases. Again, its like Malcolm said.

  • I was thinking of an alternative to your T shirt design. If I get time, I'll do it and send it somehow.

  • Your Tshirt. A cat (you, and what you represent - reason, questioning, intelligence. Also, innocence, trust) holding an AK-47 (representing armed resistance, the weapon of choice of the world's oppressed, violent death etc) suggests to me the common response to oppression - oppress back! or, violent response to violence. Is this the only possible response to violent oppression? Aren't you just playing straight into the hands of the oppressor, who, after all, has more guns than you? ... Dunno ...

  • I wonder if the "Pinky Show" obtains the majority of their funding through the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment for the Arts, or any other numerous 501(c)3 entities that have been taken over by Marxist groups? Betcha I'm right.

  • Nothing as sexy as a lovely cat with brains!

    Unless perhaps a lovely, brainy cat holding an AK-47?

    5 big "meow"s! You rock, Pinky. :)

  • i love you pinky

  • i was going to send you money,but after this stupid video!.i changed my mind.because your a stupid cat that don't know all the fact about freedom.and peace.go to your kitty litter box and think of better things to say about the only tool we have to keep our freedom.

  • i can see that your so stupid that you live in a little bubble and never stop and think that there is evil people in the world!.i wish we could have peace and freedom without sacrifice!but please stop talking all this dum stuff about how bad the guns are and that they cause violence.

  • i belive in peace and freedom!but you need to do more studies,because the fact that we can never have peace through weakness.we need to get rid of othet factors,like greed,hate,and lies.humans have and always will have these problems.only GOD can change all of these problems.because they are in us

  • Hi Jaceren69. I can sense your pain and frustration. I had a react to "Only GOD can change these problems cause they're in us." Maybe, if they're in us (which I agree with) maybe WE have to sort them out. Like, doing unto others what you'd have them do unto you; doing good to people who do bad to you, and those kinds of things? Not so easy but, if it was we'd all be living in peace already. Maybe God's just sadly watching and waiting for us to work it out?

  • Pinky, not every one has studied logic as you obviously did!

    That's why you should expect some flak from some viewers.

    A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind.(" Lois McMaster Bujold )

    "If Martial Law descends over US of A,some video postings are suggesting law enforcement forces will start rounding up political dissidents. It will be a day of infamy as civil liberties may vanish from America like in so many other countries around the globe.

    Exit Republic,entry Empire!

  • Of course, because your head is blew up before you can point your gun at them! LOL!

  • i kinda want to get that shirt.

  • I like the idea of a nice warm pussy wraping its self around my rifle. What does it have to do with guns or war?

  • <3 for pinky :D

  • Cats with guuns.

    It's just a bad taste.

    It's not consistent with other part of the Pinkyshow. It's a childish idea and not in the cute way.

    I didn't know this until I saw this video and was very disappointed the way Pinky defens it.

  • Are you that offended of a picture of a gun that you had to make a comment about it? Do you cry yourself to sleep at night when you see a silhouette of a gun?

  • I won't get offended if somebody else did this.

    I was disappointed by this from Pinky show, because it's not consistnet with other videos posted by them.

  • I agree.

    guns are for killing.

  • People were killing each other long before there were gun's. if the cat was holding a firecracker or sword. would you still be offended?

  • your so stupid!do you ever think what we would be like if we didn't have GUNS.right now because people have guns in there homes that stops all of these gans from just comeing into your home and killing you with a knife or a bat,hammer or just there fists.

  • I just visited your website and you refer to Christmas as "the winter solstice shopping rush"???? Lord help us from liberal wackos like you and your ilk!

  • Good God, there you go again quoting Malcom X one of the most racist embarrassment our country has experienced. I get so sick of liberal pinkos like you. It is better to have a gun and not need it, than need a gun and not have it! 100 percent of the proceeds of your sales probably goes to other pinko causes!

  • Unless you accidentally shoot someone. >.>.....

  • cats with guns? aaaaaaa there having a revolution aaa!!!! i need my M-80 i love guns cats are OK but together were all doomed!

  • Ha that's funny. She's right, there is quite alot of stupidity out there but sadly no one, even the pinky show is going to properly adress what is creating the stupididty in american society. The stupidity we have in america is not neccesarily "ignorant" stupidity. It is truly a mix of cultural stupidity combined with environmental factors such as diet and chemical exposure, such as Lay's potato chips, corn syrup, mercury, sedatives, and other problems.

  • Now these anti-gun fucks want to ban the pictures of guns???

    Handguns stop 645,000 Crimes a Year

  • that's not the point, the point is, why would a show dispelling ignorance would be selling a shirt with a cat with an AK-47?

    Think about things before you say them please...

    P.S. i'm pro gun

  • Whats so ignorant about a gun using an AK-47???

    To me bitching about the shirt is the same as bitching about t.v shows.If you dont like it dont watch/buy it.So yeah..I dont like when people get all asshole about it and try to censor everything.

  • okay, once again that's besides the point!!! this show, the "pinky show" has a video saying that we need to cut away from violence, yet they have a shirt with a cat using a gun. i don't doubt that it has some meaning that the show is trying to get across.

  • I still dont see a problem with the cat holding an AK-47...But I guess I understand your point.

    Its a double standard..Crying against violence then advertising an AK-47...

  • Excellent response to the email.

    It did kind of bother me though that "Bunny"'s "finger" is on the trigger. Not a safe practice, and misfires do occur when people haven't learned "finger off the trigger until ready to fire".

    Perhaps "bunny" is ready to fire and that's the message, or maybe "bunny" is inexperienced. Was the designer aware of the differing messages that just the placement of the finger can send?

  • Would the United States have been brought into existence without violence?

  • Nope.

    It required violence to kill and displace millions of native people...

    And of course required some violence for settlers to claim sovereignty from the British Government.

  • Would the United States have been brought into existence without the ideology of white supremacy?

  • Nope.

    Neither would it have been if not for the "all men are created equal" group.

    Only when people with differences work together do they make an effective team.

  • the color is wrong.their color is hot pink.

  • My first reaction was,"Pinky Show supports the Right to bear arms, and I don't mean sleeveless.

  • bla bla bla.....

    GUNS kill people THIS IS BAD

  • Its just a cat man. And not a real one at that. This cat will not shoot you man. But some dude could. Don't worry about a symbol, worry about the real dude with the gun.

  • I was more concerned about the fact that they would put a NUDE cat on a T-shirt. Are they promoting Nudity? Or, is it a more oblique reference to the kind of people who would USE guns?

    Either way, its making me moist. Thanks for the vid.

  • the gun itself as an object, an object is a symbol when graphically exposed, and therefore the symbol becomes an icon when we recognize the meaning of what it represents... - as your "stupid toys" theme video,

    -a gun is meant to kill,

    if everybody who know guns, knows what represents the objet, even tough, if it is a joke the object function, doesn't changes the meaning of the object, - know what semiotics is? ... subconsciously you still promoting the use of them... thats it

  • Very interesting questions indeed. I still think, for me at least, guns represent violence. After all they are tools designed for one purpose alone. To kill people. To answer your questions in a word, or three. I dislike the design.

  • I guess you must think allied soldiers could had walk to the Nazi death camps with flowers and stop the Germans from murdering Jews right?

  • WTF? I said I personally dislike the design, not "we should have let Hitler kill the Jews". poohtang, thats hyperbole.

  • are the guns used in Olympic competition designed only for killing people?

  • guns are made for killing . Thats theyre only purpose. If it cannot kill , its not a gun.

  • or a knife?

  • with a knife you can make food , ake tools , thats what they where made for.

  • u can with a gun too idiot

  • They are designed to fire weighted projectiles at high speeds. Depending on the weight and speed, it can be cappable of injuring or killing various creatures, including humans.

    Make no mistake about what firearms are designed for, but likewise, do not ignore the valid lawful uses firearms are made for.

  • A pic on a Tee would in most peoples mind show support, something to be associated with, ball teams, cute animals, etc so a machine gun says something about you whether it might not be correct but don't feign ignorance of the perception that others will have. Let's say my T shirt front has Aileen Wuornos and the back has Ted Bundy and I go out and get mostly negative comments from people when my response is I wear it cause I hate these killers and I support the death penalty.Pleaseee.

  • Israel: 6 wars 4 million Palestinian Refugees 3 million Occupied 254 km of an Apartheid Wall 562 Humiliation-check-points 20K Political-prisoners 468,831 new settlers on an Occupied land Disappearance of Palestine Destruction of 350 Churches & Mosques World Leader in UN Violations, at 69 Has Killed more innocent civilians per capita than any other country 50,000+ Has Imprisoned more civilians per capita 250,000+ Has rendered more civilians Handicapped per capita 50,000+
  • Above happy? I don't understand.

  • Above happy? I don't understand.

  • If Bunny was dressed in an American Army uniform and carried an m16, what would the response be?

    Maybe this shirt upset all of the non-violent resisters out there, but I doubt it...pirates and emperors, I guess...

  • no :( what a cheap marketing shot at the end...

    who got the so good idea to used the image of a half naked sexy pussy to sell.. I mean to encourage donation.

    Plus a kind of controversy around the logo is obviously a cheap way to get attention.

    no more pinky show for me

  • Wow, your answer is so full of B.S. Did you make all that up on the fly? What you really support is revolution and the distruction of America.

  • I think what Pinky supports is critical thinking. A skill many people lack, to the detriment of society as a whole, jogniva123.

  • "I think what Pinky supports is critical thinking"

    But for Leftists, "critical thinking" almost always means mindlessly repeating the same mindless tripe.

    "A skill many people lack, to the detriment of society as a whole"

    Yes, just think how much our society will be improved when Leftists are removed from power in our society. Leftists have a disproportionate influence in academia and education, for example. It's no wonder Americans are viewed as dumb all over the world.

  • I think one of the worst displays of lack of critical thinking is generalizations.

  • Well, of course that's a generalization. And generally speaking, Leftists merely triumphantly shout "generalization" or "stereotype" when someone articulates a general principle that doesn't jive with their self-congratulatory narrative or agenda.

    It's really sort of like a bizarre cult; for those who are in it, it seems enlightened. But the further you step back the further you realize how nutty it is.

  • My point is that generalizing any group of people is wrong and ignorant. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough.

  • "My point is that generalizing any group of people is wrong and ignorant."

    Well, you see, I'm not sure that it really is. Take the entire field of cultural studies. Say you're going to travel to a foreign country. It would be best to prepare yourself for the norms, attitudes, outlooks, and behaviors you're likely to find there. Even though you're quite likely to run into exceptions, a number of generalizations could likely prove quite helpful.

  • There's a huge difference between understanding cultural differences and generalizing an attribute such as "leftists are the reason America is viewed as dumb all over the world". The first is not inflammatory and shows a level of worldly education. The latter is demonstrative of just the opposite.

  • So if someone finds a generalization to be inflammatory it's necessarily invalid?

    You seem to be making my initial point that "generalization" or "stereotype" is nothing more than a de-legitimizing label that many people like to throw on conclusions they don't happen to like.

  • Let's take a step back, because you're sorely misunderstanding what I'm trying to get across.

    If you make a generalization of intelligence, education, mental state, etcetera of a group of people you are doing two things.

    First, you're making yourself look ignorant to the knowledge that said group is made up of individuals with their own minds.

    Second, you are showing callous disregard for said individuals' feelings.

    It sounds like you're trying to justify bigotry to me.
