Right-wing stuff isn't just American. It's a problem across the globe, as lovely as it is. America has a lot of problems but we're not QUITE as bad as we could be due to a general wide diversity.

The US is still racist as gently caress, but I mean at least we aren't as racist as the rest of the world I guess.

Hey at least that holds up better than the stuff Connway's coming up with lately. Maybe Trump should have stuck with him.

so it sounds like trump is going to sue the new york times for libel.

please donny, sue the newspaper that is named in the definitive caselaw for libel and slander. that's going to work out so well.

Trump literally doesn't comprehend that his "sue them into oblivion and bankrupt them in legal fees even if you lose the case" doesn't work against multimillion dollar institutions with competent lawyers.

He's that fat guy that brags about how he'd kick everybody's rear end talking poo poo to a UFC guy. The ending of this will be incredible. :allears:

Minimizing the fear PoC feel in hostile white territory is just par for the course.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Also got to remember some of Trumps earliest hot takes were all about the evils of multicultralism in Europe. He built a base here by saying the things that these people wanted to believe, hear and hear a mainstream politician vocalise.

Also for various reasons Scandinavian countries loving love conspiracy theories.

From a while back but what's with people who think abstaining from voting absolves you of responsibility for the outcome of the election?

Like, you have the capacity to use it, not using it doesn't make you not culpable, it just means you stood and watched instead of running to help/stab the person lying in the road.

decision paralysis is a common thing and a lot of people don't learn to deal with that and instead justify not making a decision as the right thing to do in their heads while distancing themselves from the consequences.

Just anecdotal, but many types of secular Arab and Southeast Asian Muslims who look "white" are very vocal about their racism in private. I've had plenty of white people be racist about all sorts of groups around me but not progressives. Do you think they're like Muslims in private? Or is their racism more of the microaggressive type?

That's honestly true, as depressing as that is. A lot of the problems we're working on now are only possible to tackle because at least the US isn't still stuck in the "Black People: just tall monkeys?" phase of race relations.

Luckily the chances of even a single Trump supporter knowing that are absolutely zero. I didn't actually know it actually so thank you :)

However, Trump suing a Big Mean Ol' Lying Liberal Rag plays pretty good with the basket of deplorables (while suing a woman who he very likely may have groped doesn't look very good)

Night10194 posted:

So, I'm massively ignorant of legal proceedings and suits: What, exactly, is Discovery and why would it be especially bad for Trump? Is it a requirement to submit evidence, affadavits, etc that could probably be embarrassing to him or what?

Pretty much. The defending party gets to demand documents and under-oath depositions which will help their case (if they exist), subject to a confusing morass of legal rules and procedures.

The NY Times defense is going to be based both on their first amendment rights and that they didn't lie (truth being an absolute defense against libel). The easiest way to prove that last one is to go through every last second of Trump footage and dig through the details of all the records of the various sexual harassment or assault cases which Trump has been accused of and settled including potentially unknown ones in the hope of finding a pattern of sexual assault and harassment which they can point to and say "see, we didn't lie he really is a predatory scumbag"

Edit: or if this is about the tax story the first thing they will demand and get are all of Trumps tax returns.

With white progressives it's largely microaggressions and ingrained societal poo poo that they're not even fully aware of, which is the hardest type of racism to educate away.

I had a big long thing to write, but I think race is really strange for me as an immigrant who can "pass" more often than not. Especially in South Florida where I can be Jewish or Hispanic and that's usually close enough to being white. I think it makes it difficult for me to detect the subtler forms of racism directed at me. I really only notice the rednecks who call me Aladdin or threaten to bomb my family or whatever.

"No war but class war" pisses me off to no end, and I'm white. Because it only ever gets brought up in regards to racial issues, never gender or LGBT issues. It's so blatantly obvious it's bullshit meant only to pretend racism doesn't exist any more.
