New Order Indefinitely Bars Almost All Travel From Seven Countries

For a moment I thought they meant the band, and I was very confused.

I've been thinking about making a PYF Daily Mail story thread and curating a collection of DM headlines.

The Daily Mail is the most trafficked English language news site in the world and where I get literally all my news.



A white college student says she can't find any smart men to date. This was the top story under the "UK" tab. The US section usually has more reasonable headlines.



They basically don't have spellcheck, not even a red squiggly line that Word might give you.



A white kid did something. With NONSENSICAL capitalization.



Occasionally there will be a misspelled paragraph giving a blow by blow description of a youtube video.

so this ended with the rear end in a top hat dad getting arrested and the kids taken away from him right? I don't remember getting my teeth removed as a kid they all came out naturally and if there was a problem it would've been handled by a dentist and not an attention starved piece of poo poo

Removing milk teeth by tying a string to them and yanking is a respected American tradition.

There is never any sort of follow up research or editorializing either, just "A video posted on youtube showed [mundane thing]. Looks like it was filmed in Russia". :effort:

This is just a dumb clickbaity way of saying that straight black men still benefit from straight, male privilege. You can still have one kind of privilege while being part of an oppressed or marginalized group in another regard.

"the white people of black people" though what a tortured phrase

Is intersectionality like a points system or what? How do I decide if I am more or less oppressed than someone else? What's my allowable trigger threshold? What if I "pass"? Do I still get to claim minority status?
Is there a pamphlet or something I can read?

(((subtly)))

“Jewish” has the highest privilege score but “Jewish & Black” is negative because we those Jews are just so drat racist. :rolleyes:

And then there’s “plutocrat” at one trillion dollars or more net worth, which no one is even close to unless you believe that (((they))) are hiding something.

Or that they have a "pass" score for transgender but not for race, where that term originated.

Is "some people are more oppressed than others" really such a difficult concept?
