yeah this has been molyneux's gimmick for a while now

just straight up lying about the behaviors of indigenous people and then using those lies as justification for why they deserved to be brutalized and subjugated by western colonizers (and then framing that brutalization as the work of "civilizing" forces)

he knows that most of them won't care to listen to anyone trying to debunk it because it's an argument that appeals to their emotional beliefs and identities, but he also does a little rhetorical flourish where he primes the audience to not just identify with the colonial powers but also equate themselves with the colonial powers so the audience will feel personally attacked by anyone criticizing colonialism or someone trying to debunk molyneux's bullshit

Masculinity in America is so hosed. I took 3 months paternity leave and almost everytime I took my daughter out shopping during a weekday or to a doctor appointment I would get flat out asked if I was out of work. Meanwhile I am part of a multi agency violent crimes task force with a ton of actual combat vets and stereotypical "alpha male" personalities and I was getting daily texts yelling at me for not bringing my daughter in to hang out them

We did arrest a guy wanted on hate crime charges a few weeks ago and Wednesday night I was in a home giving an update to a victim and the conversation turned to politics and her grandfather randomly interjected with "I cant believe we got a president who likes getting pissed on."

Pretty much. Where I work of is a bit weird in that gangs aren't really an issue outside of specific neighbor hoods and even then it's more just part of growing up in a neighbor hood and once you get out of high school the gang really isnt a part of your life. I have only run into a few nazis including one guy who I met at a tattoo shop. He wanted a swastika on his leg covered up and ended up with an absolutely beautiful koi fish tattoo. Last I heard he was completely out and his dad got him work as a paralegal and he was working to get his law degree and become a public defender to make up for his past.

my impression is the white-power prison/drug gangs (and this may be especially true in texas and california) get the lion's share of attention because the crimes get really serious: armed robbery, kidnapping, murder and major drug crimes. and "prison gang" is a misnomer since most felony sentences are only a few years. they serve 2-3 and get out and are back out dealing drugs and chopping off fingers over drug debts.

like here we're mostly talking about internet edgelords and guys who throw flyers onto lawns, that while that could be a crime depending on the locality it's usually just a misdemeanor. every time they do that, though, i would reckon those activities are being collected into databases held not only by feds but also watchdog groups like the ADL and SPLC. there has been a noticeable decline in flyers targeting college campuses this year and my impression that might be because of campus police stepping up patrols, but if they catch one they'll probably just give them a warning and tell them not to come back or they'll be cited for trespassing or something like that. like, they freak the hell out of people doing that but it's just leafleting.

actually screwing with civilians in terms of hate crimes or ethnic intimidation tends to end really badly for them (this case seemed to be some racist lady who went crazy):

ulysses is way out in the middle of nowhere in northern pennsylvania. you got guys walking around wearing hitler t-shirts and these sympathizers in the town who have this attitude of "oh, it's free speech and they have a right to it. we don't have any problems with minorities either" but then the mixed-race couple has people driving by going "pew pew" at them with finger guns.

I don't see the tweets of a lot of people I follow and they're almost all liberal/left politics, sports, and video games. I think twitter's algorithm hides stuff or pushes stuff in your time line depending on how interested in their content it thinks you actually are.

Yeah actual gangs tend to get the hammer bought down on them if they do anything that harms a civilian which is why I worry about stroking out everytime Trump talks about MS-13 controlling entire towns. A scenario like that would result in the loving hand of God being bought down on them. Hell, five years ago we had an issue with the pagans making a foot hold in the area until one drunk moron stumbled into a local police precinct lot and keyed a bunch of cop cars which resulted in anyone wearing pagan colors getting pulled over and searched in a 100 mile radius.

Honestly that's what makes the alt right so dangerous, they have no grand plan other than white supremacy and because of that the individual foot soldiers have no concept of consequences for their actions until they get publically called out. And the leaders of the alt right know that and have no problem recruiting losers desperate for the validation that movement provides.

Exploration is ill-advised.

I kinda feel 'toxic masculinity' would be a better sell not as 'this is why everything you enjoy and value is bad' but as something like 'you've been raised to value and aspire to unrealistic and unhealthy expectations based on a world that no longer exists and barely even did in the first place that is making you miserable for achieving what only rich people can nowadays'.

It's basically almost the same and strongly overlaps with leftism; 'You've been lied to all your life, the system does not reward you for working hard and is built to favour only the wealthy, this is why the world isn't making sense with what you've been told.'

nine-gear crow posted:

Yes. That's literally all he does. He goes to the same Starbucks every day in either his big giant TRUMP car or his big giant TRUMP bike, sits in the drivethru window with this big giant TRUMP laptop (and apparently now his big giant TRUMP friend) as he types out big giant TRUMP tweets and then waves and yells at people to look at his big giant TRUMP sign for like 8 hours a day.

Then on weekends he goes out to the same street corner every time with his big giant TRUMP posterboard sign and twerks his rear end off in a skin-tight black leotard for 8 hours a day. Then he goes home and stays up till like 1AM every night hand writing and mailing thank you letters to every single person in the country who voted for his big giant president Donald J. TRUMP.

There's brain problems, and then there's whatever the gently caress Scott Presler has. People who have devoted their lives to actual deities aren't as dedicated their causes as this whacko is to getting Trump-senpai to notice him.
