Topic: So at the DSA they requested people in the audience do "jazz hands" instead of clapping.

Meta !Sober//iZs started this discussion 6 years ago #89,892

This is good for autistic people who suffer from sensory overload, apparently. But where does this leave blind people? Like if they have someone blind on stage talking, does the blind persons inability to benefit from jazz hands override the no clapping rule? ?

why would absence of positive effect override the presence of a negative effect

The socialist-y types nowadays are so far up their own butts they will never organize. If you interrupted Stalin's speech he'd execute your family and send you to the gulag and business would move on. Not how I would do things but you could come to a pretty quick consensus.
Nowadays this speaker can't get through four sentences without two pauses that were basically asking people to shut up but cloaked in weird privilege rhetoric because it's a gathering of weirdos. It's not even regular ol' idpol because it's two socially inept white dudes interrupting an Asian woman speaker. It's just bizarre. But then again I'm not a socialist or a commie, I've just gone to a protest or two orchestrated by them and the same fucking shit pops up every time, and then they blame their inability to organize on counterrevolutionaries of reactionary infiltrators or whatever.

If I was told to do jazz hands I'd clap anyway. I don't care if I was the only one in the audience to be clapping to be honest. People may say you look stupid for doing so, but jazz hands looks even more stupid.

Yeah I meant organize on a national scale. They can run an anti-Nazi rally or two, but rarely field successful candidates for even state office. Even at the events that they do organize it's always a complete shitshow with someone on stage being undercut by other lefty people giving their own loud speeches/marches in the middle of the crowd and stuff. It's always disaster. Also they'll bicker among themselves about signs or what the chants should be and it's just totally incoherent.

Why would he mock the entirety of his own party? Seems counterproductive.

The jazz hands signal comes more from historical civil and social rights movements, including the Quakers.

It’s not for autists who cannot handle stimuli so much as to support the speaker without disrupting them.

That's not jazz hands though, that's about a different set of hand signals. I think the hand signals for agree, disagree, I want to make a response, etc are pretty neat but it's not jazz hands as a replacement for clapping in applause.

You’re reading it too literally you fucking retard.

Jazz hands is another way to say twinkle fingers is another way to say open palms fingers pointing up is another way to say agreeing is another way to say clapping. They’re literally the same thing and I know this from personal organizing experience.

You’re reading things and thinking you’re now an expert.

You’ve previously claimed language is so flexible as to make “HRC used BleachBit to decommission a server” mean the exact same thing as “HRC literally acid washed the server.”

And yet here you are saying language is so formal and inflexible.

You’re a goddamn embarrassment of intellectual dishonesty, m8
