Many extreme right wing folk love the hell out of Warhammer 40k and unironically think the emperor of mankind is awesome. I doubt this piece has its intended effect. It’s amazing to me that anyone thinks Neo-Nazis looked badass in that movie. Literally multiple times they hammer in that their bullshit recruiting and tactics require weak, vulnerable men and mainly work on literal children. poo poo even the “badass” Nazi prison gang needed non-white gangs to get anything done. But I guess it might be related to “no such thing as an anti-war movie” where the LCD just reacts gleefully to violence and misses and subtext. Or even just the regular text where the dialogue lays it out explicitly. People are just lovely. e: taxes Doggers are never actually Nazis, no matter how much lovely owners try to beat it into them RasperFat fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jul 2, 2019 |

highme posted:A few years ago, before Uber/Lyft was available here, I was at the winter beer festival in downtown Portland with a friend, his dumbfuck neighbor and a few of my buddy's clients from Eugene, all white men. We decided that we were going to change venues and headed to a bar just across the river in inner SE Portland, probably a mile or so walk. While people started hemming and hawing over how to get there, I just started walking and they all fell in line. The first few blocks after crossing the river is in an industrial section with a pretty good sized chunk of homeless living in the area. The pearl clutching & asking if everything was safe from all of the dudes was hysterical. Especially my buddy's dumbfuck neighbor who I've gotten into with before when he said he & his wife were going to take tactical shooter classes in case they're ever in a mass shooting situation. I know exactly what you're talking about because I walked to some donut shop late at night from a hotel on the downtown side of the river, through an industrial area on the other side. There are a couple of homeless people on the way and they're totally harmless. I think a lot of right wing people are scared to death of cities.

Nonsense posted:The Republican party is a white supremacist organization, and your Republican family members are white supremacists I know they are and it sucks. My FiL recently joked to my Black nephew about his skin being nearly as dark because of FiL’s summer tan. Also my BiL recently joked that he was going to name his new daughter with a stereotypical “Black” name for a woman. I shoulda called them out but I didn’t. If it were my personal friends of my blood relatives, I definitely would have. I don’t know how to do that without screwing up our relationship and making things very difficult for my wife.

Betsy Ross' whole story might be bullshit but she's also one of very few women who got absorbed into the legend of the Founding Fathers so you know, I'd rather leave her in there. Most of what we know about the FF's is also bullshit being peddled as history so y'know, leave Betsy alone. This isn't a critique of Kaepernick's statement, which was fine. I don't really care about the flag shoes. Just seeing some posts in here that are (unintentionally, I'll give ya'll the benefit of the doubt,) fine with erasing more women from national myth/history.

One time my dad (who occasionally still has to work in Seattle) said that he saw thugs engaging in criminal behavior and that he wished he'd had his gun with him. Looking back years later I interpret his statement as "I saw some black people and nearly pissed myself." I envy y'all that don't have lovely racist parents.

Also my BiL recently joked that he was going to name his new daughter with a stereotypical “Black” name for a woman. I would try the generic "Please don't do x, it makes me uncomfortable". No is a complete sentence and if they make a big fuss over that you need to think about whether it's worth having people in your life that don't respect your boundaries because this 100% won't be the only time they do that if it's the case. This also made me lol because I'm pretty sure a few days ago I just made a post itt saying "dear white people as summer is here there is no black person alive who wants you to put your arm next to ours like a paint swatch and say "I'm almost as dark as you!" My friends mom's used to so this to me as a kid and the first time it was cute but it got old reeeeal fast Also is he your nephew on your side or your wife's side of the family? Are you close? Protecting the kid would be my main concern and I'd go way HAM if it was my side and not my partners for sure.

Anyway, this dog, tiny little 6 lb pomeranian furball, did not like black people. And the darker their skin, the more she didn't like them. She would go berserk barking at people with really dark skin.

eke out posted:remember when just today people were telling us we were wrong? lol I'm fully convinced that there is a segment of our posting population who are just nihilists stirring poo poo by pushing propaganda and trying to demoralize any opposition to the Fascists. I'm not sure how much of it is that or those who have simply bought into that nihilism but it pisses me off either way. We need to be getting people pissed off and energized, funnel that outrage over what these evil fuckers are doing into action to oppose them rather than letting ourselves fall into a rut of depression. I mean yeah we may all loving die in climate change hell but we're all going to die at some point anyway so we might as well go down swinging.

Shrecknet posted:no joke a good thing would be for every person to be processed and held in jail for, i dunno, three days. Just once, ever. Like as a pre req fpr graduating high school or something, same as community service. If people experienced the kind of dehumanizing that takes place there, even for a day, it would change so many people. agreed, getting arrested is like working retail/foodservice/ag or some equally lovely job for minwage. just dealing with it once is enough for any empathetic but otherwise privileged person to hopefully get a taste of what regular life is like for millions of americans

In order for it to be added, they would somehow need to come up with a better truer reasoning for adding it than they already gave, explain away the "we did this explicitly to help white people" evidence which was not addressed in this opinion, have all that believed by the court, and do it all before the October deadline.

There’s a good chance that any metric she’s measuring “horribleness” by is far worse in your home state. Crime rates, homelessness rates, incomes, education, etc.

Piell posted:I called this like 15 minutes after the Supreme Court decision came down last week. Yes, that ruling and this news today is about the biggest win that's likely to happen during the Trump admin. I'd love for Trump to be dragged out of the White House in cuffs or a straight jacket, but (even temporarily) preventing this census question from further ruining minority representation is huge. Conversely, the gerrymandering loss in the SCOTUS is almost equally as huge, but is probably going to be dwarfed by what we're going to see in the next year and a half.
