https://twitter.com/PJAxemurderer/status/1157476263138877442 This is a hideous tragedy but also lol that the big tough cop has to use his gun to protect himself from a medium size dog and fails spectacularly plus murders someone at the same time. Also the sheer level of disdain he has for the woman's safety and wellbeing is quite impressive E: 30 is the number of shots it takes an idiot with a gun to kill your pet Also uh content warning I guess since someone gets literally shot to death in this video even though you can't really see anything

I'm very intimidated when I start to poke into something that turns out to require a lot of knowledge not to mess up, because I don't read an awful lot of books and I guess it's starting to show. Even socialism scares me because I know that it won't be long before people are pulling out names I won't even try to read. For example I asked another thread for the most basic book they know that gives a breakdown of trans issues. I bought it and within ten pages I'm already at "this is a lot of big words for one sentence. What does this even mean?" This is a book that was described as "trans 101" and it may as well be a doctoral thesis when viewed through my eyes. I don't ask for things to be explained to me any more for two reasons. 1. It's not fair to burden the people who know this stuff or even who live this stuff with having to dumb it down for dipshits. 2. I don't feel like I have much hope of absorbing the theory of these issues anyway. It's why my approach is "what do I do?" not "what's the theory behind this?"

I find that’s the beauty of this thread, posters with a good knowledge of a subject are able to break poo poo from books down really drat well, and honestly I wouldn’t feel half as comfortable talking about ideas like socialism without reading what I have here over the years. I’m only just starting on Capitalist Realism, and I’d recommend Mark Fishers stuff if you’re wanting some critique on capitalism that is pretty easy for the novice reader, god knows I’m a dumbass and it’s easy enough for me.

When the left punch someone it's  political violence, when the right punch someone it's a perfectly understandable response to the atmosphere of political violence created by the left.Also, hope you get seen soon SMGT.

I think we could be careful about posting all of the funny stuff about Bojo. All this stuff, negative or positive, is just putting all the attention on him. It's like Big Brother: you stay in the house because you're stirring such poo poo that people want to keep watching. It's the boring guy who does nothing and never gets air time that gets voted out. He just strikes me as someone who's benefiting from any publicity, good or bad, and what's really needed is just to turn every discussion about Bojo into a discussion about policies as quickly as possible. Maybe not here, because we're all jew hating communists here already, but in general. One very privileged man is irrelevant. What's relevant is the thousands of ordinary people who will suffer as a result of a hard border with the EU. That's why I back Labour's policy of opposing No Deal or a bad Tory Deal at any opportunity. Azza Bamboo fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Aug 3, 2019 |

baka kaba posted:yeah I was gonna say something about how sexualisation only happens to women and not their male peers, but that's not actually true - it's just that with men it usually takes the form of calling them gay. Which I guess makes sense in the gender roles hierarchy - women get reminded of their place, men get accused of failing to meet the standard and become a target for punishment There's a lot of power dynamics that have to be taken into account as to whether it's appropriate; it obviously wouldn't be fair to mock young people forced to apologize in front of their congregation for 'moral failings' because they're at the receiving end of an abusive dynamic. But once you've reached the level of being a political or religious figure you should be turning around and calling out homophobia whether you're gay or bi or straight or whatever. If Desmond Tutu can travel to loving Uganda to argue for LGBT rights and then apologize to gay people everywhere upon failing, then some white bread Indiana preacher can do same before getting caught cruising. Thinking about it, that's probably the best guide to what type of mockery it is; where the emphasis lies. Good: He spent 15 years calling for the reintroduction of Sodomy Laws, and then they caught him in a motel with two guys. Bad: He spent 15 years calling for the reintroduction of Sodomy Laws, and then they caught him in a motel with two guys.

Yeah I agree with this. Like in this forum it's obviously fine nobody is going to be swayed by Boris but whenever you post or retweet something Boris has done on twitter, or in another public forum where you say 'haha what an idiot' just feeds the fire. I make sure to a) Not retweet that stuff or b) If I do say 'Don't be distracted by the clown act, he's a seriously nasty piece of work and that's exactly what he wants'.

Really I think we could just round up all the people who drive stupidly oversized trucks and jeeps for posh people and like, i dunno, send them to some sort of wasteland to do a mad max, and it would fix 90% of problems in society.

As well as the fact that they think they've above the average citizen so who cares if they just shoot their dog. Lucky they don't shoot them... oh wait.

Add to this that they are trained to be terrified of an attack at any moment and you get extremely trigger happy police. Cops both in and out of America generally think deescalation and stuff is for pussies who want to get cops killed. When they introduced training for it in some big city (Portland maybe?) a whole mess of cops just outright resigned rather. I mean, good riddance obviously, but it's loving wild that "Let's try and make you a better cop who faces less danger and gets better results" is met with such hostility. Honestly I'm shocked far more yank cops don't get killed, not because of getting deliberately targeted but because they go in so hard that half the time you wonder other people didn't assume they were under attack by some random psycho rather than a police officer (But I repeat myself ) and draw their own piece to retaliate. Or just people getting so raging they do something about it, if someone shot one of my pets I wouldn't be surprised if I reacted... poorly.

WhatEvil posted:It's kind of an interesting thing because in some BAME communities there is a hierarchy of 'blackness' where (depending on the community/culture/class etc.) being light or dark skinned is seen as being more desirable. Being dark skinned is seen as being more desirable pretty much nowhere tbh but yes the other thing is a thing, brown paper bag test etc; I've heard of US universities where there's one sorority for the lightskinned women and another for the darker skinned. To white Americans, ofc, black is black.

Apparently one of the reasons that SWAT started actually checking the paperwork a bit more compared to the 2000s is because there were a couple of incidents where they no knock raided the wrong address and got shot. They almost always killed the homeowners during the firefights in those cases though, but it was the shooting back and judges starting to say "they were right to shoot back, you no knock raided the wrong people" that made them review methods.

And this is generally a good thread for people explaining stuff, they'll usually try their best  I mean I got a bit wordy but the basics of this stuff aren't hard, it's just that there's some useful language to fall back on. Like "objectification" means treating someone not as a person, but like an object to be used (the passive target of an action if you know yr grammar) - so typically when people talk about objectifying women it's about basically reducing them to something to be leered at, focusing on their sexuality or attractiveness instead of their character or skills, that kind of thing There can be a bunch of academic language too (especially with "newer" theory around gender - partly out of necessity because our language is pretty limited for some of these concepts) but you don't need to know it - the ideas aren't that complicated, the hard part is incorporating it into your understanding of the world, y'know? Suddenly you have a lot more to think about, things become more complicated, you have habits to fall out of, all that stuff. If an explanation you're reading doesn't click with you, you just need to find one that does (this goes for anything) - and talking to people and asking questions can help a lot, because you can find a way to get those ideas across. Nobody owes you an explanation, but a lot of people will be happy to talk about it if you're cool!

What I find about a lot of people is that they discriminate based on the area they're in. Like if I was back in Leicester people would react differently on St. Matthews than they would in Markfield. This doesn't just make cops trigger happy, it makes people want to carry knives. It's like the message "your area is poo poo" becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, and that's before you get into poverty, austerity and social deprivation. And we all do it. I think all of us here could name the nearest "poo poo area" in the place they live, because we talk about it a lot.

I got a really nice one with an emerald for my fiance as a) diamonds are nonsense and b) they wouldn't look nice with her skin tone anyway. The moment you look away from diamonds the price drops by half and it's also much more unique. Also never ask to marry in a big public place. Give him/her a chance to let you down and not feel pressured.
