Prominent state figures have openly cast blame on the Republicans, particularly their hard-charging campaign manager, Jeff Roe, for willfully growing a "toxic campaign culture".[20] The ad that aired early in the campaign mocked Schweich for his physical appearance and called him a "little bug".[20]

The dude was obviously dumb and should be fired but I thought racism by def had an element of kicking down, which I don't think is really there wrt China anymore. Hence the fact that you can't be racist against a white person no matter how much prejudiced vitriol you direct their way

No that only applies in the West

You can definitely be racist against white people, South Africa is doing it right now

Not that that I have a problem with that, at least based on the sampling of white people I met in the month I was there

i wonder what chuds think "racist" actually means

a bad thing, that they are not

they think it means actively hating someone for their skin color

they look within themselves and decide, "no, i do not hate ____ because of his/her race, I simply think him/her uneducated/uncouth/ineloquent/poor, and that's an ok reason to not like someone. therefore! i am not racist."

this is a reaction from a culture and society that, for decades now, shames overt racism without any real discussion about what racism actually is.

so racism continues to exist, just not on the surface. these people cannot conceptualize things like implicit bias ("you're saying i am NATURALLY predisposed to be racist because I'm white??? THAT'S RACIST!!!!"); structural racism; or .... really anything other than cleetus firing a farmhand while screaming, "gently caress YOU N-WORD I AM FIRING U BCUZ UR BROWN," as racist

because we haven't... we don't talk about racism except in sociology/related classes in universities. because we've made it a bad word, a bad thought, a thing to be shamed. it is assumed as bad without examination or criticism.

this is what i get at when i sometimes post about academia poisoning: academic terms being used without understanding of their proper context/without any of the academic learning that should come along with them, somehow still carrying all the weight of an academic word.

It's really really tough to be successful in the situation. Years ago I was the active shooter for a county wide training program and I was an untrained college kid who generally could take out a few officers every time we ran a scenario. It's a lot easier to not be worried about target background or threat identification in a gun fight

I feel like there may be weight to words that originates outside of academia also! Like ppl without advanced degrees aren't just existing in a void of meaning where all they can do is emotionally parrot their learned betters!

not every shooting is a mass shooting though

but yeah some actual research on potential efficacy would be good

Speaking of efficacy got this article rattling around my head

quote:

In a typical handgun injury that I diagnose almost daily, a bullet leaves a laceration through an organ like the liver. To a radiologist, it appears as a linear, thin, grey bullet track through the organ. There may be bleeding and some bullet fragments.

I was looking at a CT scan of one of the victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who had been brought to the trauma center during my call shift. The organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer, with extensive bleeding. How could a gunshot wound have caused this much damage?


The reaction in the emergency room was the same. One of the trauma surgeons opened a young victim in the operating room, and found only shreds of the organ that had been hit by a bullet from an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle which delivers a devastatingly lethal, high-velocity bullet to the victim. There was nothing left to repair, and utterly, devastatingly, nothing that could be done to fix the problem. The injury was fatal.

A year ago, when a gunman opened fire at the Fort Lauderdale airport with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, hitting 11 people in 90 seconds, I was also on call. It was not until I had diagnosed the third of the six victims who were transported to the trauma center that I realized something out-of-the-ordinary must have happened. The gunshot wounds were the same low velocity handgun injuries as those I diagnose every day; only their rapid succession set them apart. And all six of the victims who arrived at the hospital that day survived.

Cops called a bunch of times on a dude in Florida for being a MAGA freak, nothing happens, he kills a bunch of kids.

Cops called on a guy in an Arizona hotel because a woman saw a (bb) gun through a window (it's legal to have guns there lol), cops execute the guy in the hallway despite his compliance.

Maybe just don't call cops ever for any reason
