The right to complain

Christopher Hitchens warned not to let people take away your right to complain. When he said it he was talking about Islam specifically but I think it speaks to a broader point about what's happening in society today.

Hym "No. Don't fuckin listen to Matt. He knows and has conceded entirely that he is not fit to be a mustache-man. He lives a life of shame as a disgusting smooth-face and should be treated with nothing but contempt and derision. The right to complain, however, IS fit to be a mustache-man. It is our fundamental right. The CARDINAL right from which all other rights are derived. The conservatives are trying to take that away from you (not in a legislative capacity but a social capacity) with their 'Stop complaining and get back to work, slaves' rhetoric and the Liberals are trying to take that right away ( again, not in a legislative capacity but in a social capacity) with their 'Anti-aggrievement' rhetoric that presupposes the grievances of the under-class that you are allowed not to give a shit about are illegitimate. Reject this blatant and repugnant attack on our rights! I am aggrieved! I have a right to BE aggrieved! And my rights will not be denied!"

Doctrine of Complicity

The idea that if you aren’t dedicating your life to fighting a problem, that you’re part of it and are therefore complicit in it

People who subscribe to the Doctrine of Complicity believe it’s a strong call to action, but critics say it’s a guilt trip designed to make you feel guilty

Lack of comprehension

Someone can't read well or being clueless and ignorant the whole time.

me: "NBA and fans called themselves the best of the world for having the best players of the world and opposed Noah Lyles, yet they lost to Real Madrid, it shouldn't matter if the star players are playing or not."
tony: "US haters are reaching, it's like saying Inter Miami should win without Messi!"
me: "Except they don't call themselves the best of the world or world champion though."
tony: "Can't debate a guy with a wii avatar, can't take your words seriously."
"It was made with a Switch btw and go check out Noah Lyles' words, you're either stuck in last decade or lack of comprehension the whole time."

T.A.T Communications Company

A television production company founded in 1974 by the late Norman Lear and talent agent Jerry Perenchio which produced a bunch of successful sitcoms during its period of activation, and then it was bought out by a bunch of companies during the early 1980s.

The company is particularly infamous in the logo community for its on-screen logo that was likely introduced in 1979, a logo that still wasn't fully discovered as of today (only 2 recordings of its jingle and a split-second of "Cheesy Star" footage exists). It has also been theorized there is another variant of the logo dubbed the "Rising Star" that takes place on a blue background and with a white star, however no footage of that has ever surfaced.

There is a chance of finding the full uncut logo in early 2024, regarding a forthcoming digitization of some 1979-1980 One Day at a Time tapes discovered at the Syracuse University in New York. The logo community has all their fingers crossed for this event.

Guy 1: Damn, how come the T.A.T Communications Company logo still isn't found...
Guy 2: I don't know! Fingers crossed for the Syracuse tapes though!!!
