Maybe they think their whiteness will protect them from being treated like poo poo, but yeah, women like her (or, mutatis mutandis, some of the bride recruits for IS) always remind me of the Commander's wife in The Handmaid's Tale, who also seems really bitter about her ideology basically having achieved success, meaning she engineered her own prison.

i don't know how accurate this is, but i hear it mentioned a lot. i'd expect a 6 figure salary sure but millions is pretty impressive, even if he's a massive shithead

possibly more due to the crowdfunding donation drive thing he's done before, which as I remember collected most of its cash in a lump of about a million

rubin's an absolute pos, but man, can't help but respect the grift. how many jobs do you know that people people literally millions of dollars because their employers THINK you're making a difference when in reality you're not doing a damned thing?

That market is small and dwindling, and would literally be a subset of fundamentalist (in the sense of going back to the early Church fundamentalist) Christians whose entire life revolves around their church and who are super into Biblical gender roles.

Like, spending all day Sunday at church and attending church group stuff multiple other nights, only have friends who attend the same church, and are a compound in the woods away from being a cult kind of fundamentalist. Think, someone who grows up wanting to go to Liberty University and you're imagining the right kind of person.

I only really am connected with Protestant conservatives though, maybe there's a market for that kind of thing in other religious groups, but I doubt it.

There's a whole universe of gritfey bullshit targeted at that demographic already though, and the overlap between that world and people who get super into youtube personalities is basically zero. The closest that group gets to being connected online is Facebook groups, and even then, it's a tertiary part of their life.

why is it always that libertarians seem to come in two stripes only: the ones who desperately want to be able to say "friend of the family" with no repercussions, or dudes who want to gently caress kids

I mean since the whole "I wanna smoke weed lol" crowd got thinned out with partial legalisation or decriminalisation initiatives, the racists and the pedos seem to be the only ones left in that group

Because although left libertarian is a thing that people worldwide might identify as, the number of people in the US who do is statistically insignificant. Kinda like how a conservative liberal is something that folks outside the US might identify as, but next to no one in the US would.

There's plenty of people in the US who are left libertarian in the original meaning, just like there's plenty of conservative liberals, just absolutely no one is going to identify as such because no one gives a poo poo about original meaning.

Anyone calling themselves a left libertarian is going to spend 10x the time explaining that they don't want to rape kids or dump toxic waste in poor neighborhoods than they would to just say they're a leftist and leave it at that.

I haven't seen explicitly pedo friendly libertarians lately, on the contrary they seem to join in on right wing histrionics over Cuties and some pedo law in California recently.

Yeah but that poo poo happens on a regular basis it's nothing to do with it being impossible for authors to write poc characters its white authors writing what they think is true and a publishing industry to eager to accept any tale of misery & woe as a true to life hardscrabble minority survival tale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Seltzer

quote:

In 2008, Seltzer published her first book, Love and Consequences: A Memoir of Hope and Survival,[1] about her alleged experiences growing up as a half white, half Native American foster child and Bloods gang member in South Central Los Angeles. Shortly after publication, the book was proven to be completely fictitious: Seltzer was actually fully white, grew up with her biological parents in the upscale San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks and attended Campbell Hall, an affluent Episcopalian day school in the North Hollywood area of Los Angeles. [2] [3]

While promoting the book in radio interviews with WBUR's On Point and NPR's Tell Me More, Seltzer spoke with an African American Vernacular dialect and frequently referred to alleged gang friends as "homies" and "my home girl."[4][5]

Before being exposed as fabricated, the book was praised as "humane and deeply affecting" by Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times

Like, 5 minutes of checking would've been enough to call bullshit. I think that book has a famous line where she says "the first bit of money I earned, I bought a coffin, knowing I probably wouldn't make it to 30" and reviewers raved over how deep and gritty it was.
