there was a funny sketch where he was saying he was the president of bank of america, then giving out an address and then saying poo poo like 'it would not be cool if someone came to my home and killed me and my family. do not do this.' while wielding a knife. It was so bizarre and over the top

i suppose it might be embarrassing to have found MDE funny at one point, and in retrospect i can see how hyde's thing veered toward the alt-right so in the end he's making "jokes" about detonating ryder trucks in largely black public housing projects or something like that. but i think if this thread has taught us anything it's that fascist-minded people are not comic book characters, but often just pathetic losers, albeit dangerous ones. i mean, they're just fascists, is all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWEZ9iPQ65g

the idea that someone who goes in that direction can never be clever or funny ever is not really how i look at it. and speaking of getfiscal i've been listening to YCW and babyfinland made a point there about celine -- the anti-semitic french novelist -- that he joined up with the fascists because celine thought of himself as a loser and that he was so weak-willed he might as well get on with the winning team, and for him during world war II that appeared to be the fascists. whoopsie.

to shift the conversation a bit, one thing i've been thinking about again is how to respond to nazis flexing on people. like okay, you ended up in a situation where some nazis treated you like a jew for the first time in your entire life, when before this everything was going swimmingly. but there are a lot of people in america who are flexed on by white supremacy all the time, except the white supremacists who are doing it are the cops, or predatory service providers, or any number of things. so how you react, or just act, is going to have to start with you first thinking about that and taking it into account so your actions don't bounce back and make the situation for those people even worse -- since a white middle-class kid can probably walk away at any point

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

To be fair, asking "so is there a fixed price you charge for blowjobs, or do you give a group discount?" may have been a rhetorical slam-dunk in that conversation, but it would also sound incredibly bad if quoted out of context.

the proper response is whatever robs them of as much power as possible. since fascism is all about exercising power, there is nothing worse than looking weak and foolish.

for cops, it seems like filming them is about as good as it gets. im reminded of that video from a while back where a guy walked up to some cops hassling some black kids and loudly told them their rights while filming.

he was apparently notorious enough for filing and pressing legit harassment complaints (with video evidence) that the cop's partner straight up just got back in the car. granted, that seems like a good way to end up commiting suicide by multiple gunshot wounds to the back of the head, but probably less so for white folks.

getfiscal is good canadian talent, it's not a strict secret, but most of canada's finest don't bother marketing to America and are therefore unknown to the likes of the NYT. On the other hand, you have grifters like Jordan Peterson and Family who leaped southwards to glom onto media's trailings



DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:

what I mean, basically, is that famous sketches like williamsburg street fashion basically rely on you, the viewer, having certain attitudes towards a specific third party, that is Brooklyn hipsters. and not just certain attitudes but an emotional attachment to those attitudes, such that you’d feel vindicated or pleased by seeing them enacted by Sam. i still think those people are super annoying, my sister lived in that area for years and I hated visiting her, but because I just don’t care about Brooklyn hipsters as much as sam does I don’t find the sketch as funny as his fans do. whereas to find Premium Prices funny I don’t have to care or even really know about cheaply produced late night commercials.

Limmy has a sketch that's basically the same thing except instead of interviewing hipters, he does a funny imitation of them. you can tell which of the two is carrying some level of hateful spite because the MDE sketch is like 40 minutes long and it's pretty boring unless you're fuming the whole time. limmy's is like 2 minutes

What was your boss's response to that?

I got a bog standard “you may be right but you need to be open minded and not react so sharply in situations like that”. we have a lot of people on all sides of the spectrum do work with us. I decided not to bring up the fact that I kept my mouth shut when they decided to have David Frum be a keynote speaker for an event we did.

I remember a Whitest Kids U Know sketch where the setup is that two guys are doing a script reading between a man and a woman, and the man wrote it so that the woman just degenerates into "I'm Karen I'm so stupid" while he screams at her. It's the kind of humour that makes your skin crawl, watching this enraged douche fantasize about degrading his girlfriend.

mind you I certainly wouldn’t believe the likes of IT Glinner, but is there anything to his narrative?

No-one has said what was in his note and there's usually multiple things going on when you're about to kill yourself (speaking from experience, but also confirmed by therapists etc). In his case, he looks like he was going to be investigated by his university for breaching the code of conduct, and having a transcript that says 'non academic misconduct' closes a lot of doors in this country. I seem to recall that the transgender person he harassed was also weighing up legal options, though I'm not sure if that would have an effect or not. But like I said, a lot of things happening at once, it all builds up and next thing you know you're under a train.
