You could probably fill an entire thread just with "Idiots on Social Media talking about Brexit". You'd think the crap published by the S*n or Express is so stupid nobody would repeat it unless to ridicule, but without fail you see talking points brought up there reappear on social media and it's all so unbelievably stupid and stupid and stupid. It's exhausting how stupid it all is. The idiots are literally the government of the UK at this point and pointless twitter grandstanding has long found its way in official negotiating verbiage, to the utter bemusement of EU negotiators.

So you're saying for some of them it was racism, for others it was racism AND greed. How are these people "reasonable-ish"-again?

You know it's true what that one meme says. I'll readily admit that America is a corrupt empire with a virtually non-existent social net that has on the whole done more harm than good to the rest of the world And yet there's something deep inside my dna that sends a thrill through my body whenever I see the british get owned

Like if there's one thing the US did good it was engendering a deep hatred for the monarchy and the fact that some people have not kept it up is IMO unforgivable.

PurpleXVI posted:So you're saying for some of them it was racism, for others it was racism AND greed. You gotta start with the premise that within an inherently systemic racist society, it takes active work to fight against the deep racist ideas and therefore, even when we're trying to be progressive, we have to accept our own racism when we deal with anything relating to race. Taking from that point of view, I know very progressive people that get this. I also know a lot of people that aren't burning crosses but can't really understand systemic racism. For example, a large number of people here think that racism is bad, we don't have a problem here in the UK but also we have a problem with immigrants. They're not bad people, they're just not able to grasp that these three statements contradict each other. Maybe it's the word 'reasonable' that's not right here. I mean that they're not fundamentally bad humans, they're just not smart enough to really grasp how systemic racism works. Ugh ugh I'm becoming that guy that fills up this thread with discussions. I'll stop. Sorry folks, I'll come back only with good IOSM

QAnon has been spreading like wildfire around the Internet, but the idea of it spreading on LinkedIn feels like a joke somehow. https://twitter.com/btdecker/status/1299451369296887809 Somewhere in that thread, there’s a grab of someone listing their occupation as “Q Researcher/Autist.” They use autist as a self-deprecating term of endearment picked up from edgy channers, but at least some of them think it’s an accepted term outside of their weird circle. I’ve seen another Q graphic declare “We are autists” in an otherwise straightforward explainer. Dr Christmas has a new favorite as of 23:37 on Aug 28, 2020 |

Stunt_enby posted:far right that you actually need to worry about disavows and makes fun of shapiro, mostly because he's jewish and they're anti-semitic but also for making an rear end out of himself constantly I have never seen someone so ashamed to wear a yarmulke as Ben Shapiro. I mean, I've never seen anyone ashamed to wear their yarmulke besides him, but he uses loving stealth technology to hide a tiny one on the back of his head. Just imagine the amount of mens hair dye he's going to slather on when he starts turning grey, his hair is going to look like a wet black cat. If it wasn't virtually invisible his career as an alt.right spokesman would probably be over in a matter of hours, and boy oh boy, don't he know it.

Wait, are you saying he wears one regularly and just makes it as unnoticeable as possible? Why not just not wear it? I was under the impression that, outside the more conservative sects, wearing a yarmulke in your day-to-day life is kind of a personal choice thing for most Jewish people. That's not to say Shapiro couldn't be a really conservative Jew, but I'd expect a different line of grift if that were the case.

It's really wild that they've basically reinvented all the poo poo that was slung against early feminists except it's now them saying it about anyone who doesn't conform to their idea of femininity.
