i like how the narrative shifted from "appreciating a cultural exchange" to "i was standing my ground" to "he's a grown man, by smirking i was de-escalating the situation" to "i wanted to leave but i didn't know everyone had their phones out, yet i didn't want to knock them down"

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

thing is, this is normal

this is how wealthy people act when they feel aggrieved by a member of the lower classes, these kids are special only in that this was recorded and picked up traction online unlike almost every other case of a privileged person having their authority challenged by what they deem to be a lesser

and even this video, a perfect example, has had multiple powerful sources act to defuse the situation and gain control of the narrative, and they've succeeded

this can't be fixed, you can't add enough regulations to ameliorate the effects of a stratified class society in which a tiny minority hold all power and wealth

this is the kind of deep rot that can only be cleared by a revolutionary upheaval of society, no amount of hashtags or liberal comedians can change it

more on OC nazi beatdown:

https://twitter.com/sandibachom/status/1088258766397677568

quote:

A group of neo-nazis made their presence known during the middle of Reagan Youth’s set. One neo-nazi, who was wearing a Skrewdriver shirt (more on that later) was asked to leave the show for being belligerent. When he refused, he and his cronies started hurling racial slurs at surrounding audience members on the side of the stage while the show was going on. One of them allegedly shouted “Orange County is a white man’s town!” near the stage. This quickly escalated into a full-fledged fistfight, with almost a dozen audience members getting involved.

Somebody mentioned some hilarious fiction novel written by some chud a while back, and this youtuber is going through it. It's very pro-click. But aside from it being unintentionally amusing, it demonstrates a common thing that's prevalent in all forms of fictional chud media. See, the Right wants to portray themselves as sympathetic people/characters, but they have enough self-awareness to realize that their views are generally horrible and thus completely unpalatable for most non-chud people. So what they have to do is construct scenarios and characters that are so utterly over the top, that the viewer has no choice but to acknowledge that these liberal bogeyman are the bad guys.

It's the only way a movie like God's Not Dead can be taken even remotely seriously. The creators knew they couldn't just make a film about some philosophy professor who just HAPPENS to be an atheist. No, said atheist professor MUST demonstrate why he's a bad person. He's not just someone who presumably wants to surreptitiously poison youthful conservative minds with his indoctrination, but rather, someone who openly, and VICIOUSLY attacks people who believe in God, to the point of physically assaulting a student for making him look bad in front of his students due to his excellent pro-Christianity arguments.

Same principle in this case. The hero of the story is some guy big (this is something that's repeated a lot), tough, manly, god-fearin' former soldier who's taking some courses at some liberal university (redundant?). As you can imagine, someone like him wouldn't fit at such an institution. But to demonstrate just how awful this university and its students and teachers are, in the first couple of pages, he tries to save some lib female student getting abused by her lib boyfriend. He tries to intervene, but is scolded by the female student for trying to spread toxic masculinity by assuming she couldn't defend herself (which she wasn't doing, apparently). Then he (no joke) gets attacked by a gang of antifa carrying bike locks (seriously) :lol:

You'll NEVER have a piece of right-wing media that ever shows these fucks defending the things that the left ACTUALLY criticizes them for. It always has to be exaggerated evil poo poo that the Left is supposedly doing, even though the Left would be fine with opposing. There'll never be a movie about a homophobic baker kicking out a gay customer, without that gay customer being portrayed as a mob boss or something ("Nice bakery you got here. Be a shame if the ACLU had to send you an email at some point :smug: " )

The 'hero' is supposed to be a master's student in bio, yet he's not teaching any labs(let alone being a TA in anything), dorms with undergrads, and is apparently still taking gen-eds

Yea, Nicholson makes this thing palatable through her usual awkward character. As you said, the writer fails to do even the most cursery research in how things work. All their stuff about the evil SJWs and Antifa are straight out of RWM and the way it portrays it. The Antifa gang pops up randomly from nowhere again later when he's on a date. There's also the white professer who identifies as black, and constant "Microaggressions!" talk. Of course the only Muslim is all "I think ISIS is super good and the west should burn!". My favorite thing that she brings up in the book is how our hero brings up "Audy Murphy wasn't some snowflake that needed safe spaces with colouring books, he was out being a REAL MAN!" and then Nicholson brings up the fact Audy Murphy suffered terrible PSTD for his entire life and never really got over it. It just shows such an amazing lack of any kind of research outside of checking out Hannity or something.

Then there's the weird tonal shift at the end when the guys grandfather shows up and invites him to the Chud Avengers, they're probably going to go recruit Segal's character from Shadow Wolves or whatever the hell that book is. Her looking into things shows that the writer actually died years ago, and he was prolific, he wasn't super chuddy, just wrote cowboy action books and some horror, then he dies and his niece takes over and starts pumping out books for chuds.

Speaking of gods not dead, the 3rd one actually tries to defend Christian beliefs, and characters actually have conversations, and the Chrisitan characters have to actually make arguments to support their beliefs rather than just spouting off bible passages. At least according to the Cinema Snobs reivew, though he points out that is the worst preforming out of all 3 movies. Probably because it didn't feed into Evangelicals persecution complex like all those other movies do.

literally just deny that it was blackface, say they just were painted all black since it was a black-out game, it isn't like any of the corrupt rear end media would point out that they painted their lips and eyes white, hell they were on fox news for gently caress's sake just don't say blackface

It matters because if they have a fig leaf of deniability, even if it isn't actually plausible anymore, they and their parents and the media machine that is designed to keep white supremacy entrenched will be able to ignore any outrage with "oh there was no actual racism except from those drat blacks!" but they couldn't even be assed to coach those drat robots to just deny deny deny.

Call me pessimistic but I'm about 100% sure they are able to ignore any outrage anyway since they're rich and blackface isn't illegal.

e: I mean what would the negative consequences be anyway?

ee: I should actually have asked "what negative consequences are they facing now that they wouldn't have faced had they denied it being blackface?"
