liberals have internalized racism so heavily the only method of atonement they can imagine is bringing back apartheid but making blacks the master race

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

modern anti-racist ideology is incredibly interesting because you keep circling back to racial realism with all attendant implications in order to justify the innate inferiority of the perfidious white

it's weird, because this attitude also tends to resist turning anti-racism into a proper political programme as it means making unseemly compromises as one necessarily must when running on minority politics in a nominal democracy. this disconnect from political drudgery allows people to be extremely radical basically as a lifestyle choice, and this can again go some very weird places

The latest episode of "Michael and Us" talks about the 1999 film "Election" with Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon.

I liked their take on it and I'd encourage people to listen, which is why I'm posting about it here, but also the pod made me recall that Broderick's character tried to sabotage the election by pocketing two ballots that would have put Witherspoon over the top, and I made a connection that I've only very recently come to in that there's this strong impulse for liberals to turn anti-democratic as soon as the person that they think is "undeserving" to win, is about to, or has won, an election.

Wasn't there some kind of poll or survey that found that world wide across the political spectrum Liberals were the most distrusting of the concept of democracy?

I do think it's pretty funny that Amber was trying to pitch Bluechew as working class while Hims is PMC

making class about culture no different than how the right does it, the same way they think "wearing a cowboy hat and driving a truck is working class" she thinks "listening to cumtown is working class"

I don't believe in God but I believe in Origional Sin. I believe that, as a white person, I was born into a system of privilege gained from the oppression of POC so pervasive and total, and I have benefited from that system to such a degree, that it is as if I was born a murderer. It is only through a divine act that I may be free from this sin, this whiteness. I have begun down the path of penance, laid out by the prophet dolezal, and I ask now for your support in my journey. It will not be an easy path, full of pain and hardships, but it is a path that I must walk, alone.

The war nerd series on the 1993 u.s. backed Russian coup where we helped Goldman Sachs buy for pennies on the dollar or destroy every major privatizing industry from the newly democratizing state, literally stole almost all the money in every Russian citizens bank account, dropped their life expectancy by ten years in under two, then made Boris Yeltsin indiscriminately massmurder over 1500 Russian citizens randomly on the streets and in their apartments with special forces and truck mounted heavy caliber machine guns, tankmurdered the first democratically elected post-soviet Russian parliament as it stood in session inside its soon to be equally tank demolished parliament building, converting the new democracy into a dictatorship with a new constitution literally written and financed by literally George Soros (holy poo poo) or else international financiers would call in all the loans to the newly impoverished country, and FINALLY listen to foreign policy takes from new York times editorial board opinions calling it a triumph for democracy while all the usual neoliberal front organizations and mouthpieces come out with lockstep opinions, then THIS IS ESSENTIAL LISTENING

I haven't crack pinged this bad since... Ever. It's just insane.
