I don't particularly mean offense, I'm more confused than anything, but your posts about Matt's streams are insane. I've watched all his streams and it's like you watched a set of streams from some other reality. I don't recall him saying all this poo poo you post about, or if he did it was a throwaway sentence or two not something I would ever think to post post post about.

I didn’t want to say anything (:rolleye:) but this guy posts a lot about watching something he hates yet doesn’t seem to be very good at watching it

What is this book even supposed to "teach" people, it sounds like she just repeatedly recounts how her mandatory racism seminars are miserable and ineffective. At most I feel like it'll make someone throw their hands up and decide racism is intractable or pat themselves on the back over how at least they're not one of the people from the author's anecdotes.

It's for cosmopolitan bourgeois liberals and the way they relate to the world is through flagellation, consumption, and patronizing prescriptive frameworks.

Flagellation == "You must atone for your privilege, understand it, be subservient to it because it's essential. You can't do anything about it, it's original sin."

Consumption == "So to help you acknowledge and compartmentalize your sin, read my self-help book."

Patronizing Prescriptive Frameworks == "Black people are just vessels that we pour racism into. Here's how to best interface with them at the workplace while always centering every concern around yourself and your own original sin of racism and privilege."

It's 4 hour work week for scrubbing clean the conscience of a white cosmopolitan lib.

Florida Black Lives Matter protester found dead after tweeting that she had been assaulted

quote:

Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, was found dead days after actively protesting in Florida after George Floyd’s death
The family of 19-year-old Oluwatoyin Salau, a woman who recently protested after the death of George Floyd, confirmed that the activist was found dead after being missing for more than a week.

Salau was one of two victims discovered Saturday night off Monday Road in southeast Tallahassee, the Tallahassee Police Department revealed to the Tallahassee Democrat on Monday. The 19-year-old was found a few miles from where she was last seen June 6 at a library off Orange Avenue and Wahnish Way. The other victim, Victoria “Vicki” Sims, had also been reported missing. Sims was a retired state worker and was well-known in her community for volunteering for local Democratic races.

turns out it was just Some Black Guy (even though i dont even think her tweets mentioned the ethnicity, just the fact that it was a guy dressed like a preacher). Nothing to see here folks!!1!!11!1:shepface:





quote:

Man, 49, arrested over the murder of BLM protester, 19, and white woman, 75, was out on BAIL for 'assaulting a woman when she rejected his sexual advances' and had 'attacked another man over racial differences'
Aaron Glee Jr. was identified by police as a suspect after the bodies of Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, and Victoria Sims were found in Tallahassee Saturday
Salau was last seen on June 6; that same day she shared a series of allegations
Records show Glee, who has been taken in custody over the killings, is said to have assaulted a woman when she rejected his sexual advances on May 29
Glee was charged aggravated battery but released on a $2,500 bond on June 1
He was also arrested after an alleged fight over 'racial differences' on May 28
Police have not said if Glee is the same man Salau accused of molesting her


im not going to post tweets, but i will say its nothing short of astounding to see BlackTwitter shift the goalposts practically over night from protesting Police Brutality to toxic black male masculinity.

just amazing :smith:

The insanely racist way in which Chapo ‘fans’ reduce Amber & Virgil to token minorities and not two of the more intelligent and well-read people currently working in progressive media is bonkers. I do not use reddit ever because the good parts of it matriculates here or elsewhere, but every Chapo subreddit post I’ve see always has some weird “Chapo tries to pretend it’s not racist by hiring these MINORITIES, so FAKE” or “they tell Amber to say the craziest ideas so we’ll accept them because she is POC!”

It’s like holding up a carnival mirror to another carnival mirror.... a sub forum of white leftists listening to a couple of Jewish and Asian people talking about how not liking a racist book by a creepy white lady is actually the MOST racist...

Basic parasocial relationship dynamic. People get frustrated that the person they obsess over doesn't acknowledge them directly so the admiration turns sour. Same behavior you see with stalkers.

The same reason Lowtax doesn’t hardly ever post anymore. Parasocial relationships breed entitlement and toxicity. You feel like you have a relationship with these people because their voice is in your head for a few hours every week or even every day, and it fools the mind into believing you are part of each other’s lives. This leads to disappointment and frustration which leads to anger and aggression.

e: parasocial, not paradoxical

There's that, but reddit not only has a big ambient population of insufferable and gullible libs and libertarians, it is also ground zero for amateur chud psyop efforts. It's a very volatile place, putting Twitter and SA to shame for certain kinds of drama and bad faith posting.

at no point do any of the people making those tweets take into account the circumstances surrounding the grisly murders of these politically active WoCs or even if the person arrested was the culprit at all. its just yass queen poo poo.

why does it seem so much like a concerted effort to cause political infighting? :iiam:

i honestly havent posted in there since 2017, and i believe you were missing the point of my last posts (which was these peoples assassinations deaths being used to deliberately cause infighting among the protests going on right now). i admit i should've been more clear in my previous posts that its more than just that particular niche of twitter (it was not my intention to throw them under the bus, considering i interact and spend a majority of my free time on that part of twitter as i am a PoC as well).
