Yeah I believe people are wholly products of their genetics and their upbringing and the various random occurrences that happen throughout and probably if I had been a Southern antebellum aristocrat, I'd've probably been fine with slavery. If I'd've ridden along side the great Khans I'd probably be okay with putting every person in a Chinese city that resisted my army to the sword. Really my "enlightened" perspective is a product of having the capacity to think critically - which I had nothing to do with - and the privledge of broad education and experience that taught me the things I did - also something I had nothing to do with. Ta Nahesi Coates had an article that came at this from the other side, responding to modern African Americans who assert there's no way that they'd've been slaves, they would've risen up and broken their chains, and the conclusion was: well some did that and almost to a man were killed but you don't understand what it's like to be born into bondage and live your life in it.

It's why I don't see much utility in accountability for long dead historical figures, except when they are being used for modern political or ethical arguments. But from our perspective, the first person that we would consider to have modern ideas about race and gender and sexuality was born after 1950. Abe Lincoln was a staunch abolitionist but he didn't think that black people were on the same level as white people.

not to nitpick this too much, but race being the social and legal construct that it is probably wasn't as big a deal in some societies prior to codification by white slavers and there have been societies or groups with fluid genders and permissiveness related to sexuality. All of these things existing in one person prior to 1950 is very likely in my mind, though this person might have been persecuted or murdered for their race/gender/sexuality at the time and this would certainly bias our written record.

Comedian Jason Selvig was face to face with the former football star at the event in Macon, Georgia, as he offered him several blue-packaged condoms. In footage of the confrontation, an irritated Walker can be seen putting a hand on Selvig’s chest, saying something, but his exact words weren’t captured.

Extinction for our time

Can you find Satan and witchcraft in this mural for a teen health center? Also LGBTQ+ "propaganda."



So there is a mask that some morons have claimed is a depiction of Satan and a hamsa hand the aformentioned morons have claimed is a witchcraft symbol. That with the pro-LGBTQ+ bits have the morons saying the mural has an "anti-Christian message."

Here is the news story. A high school student in Michigan painted this in a teen health center after winning a competition. A flock of idiots descended on a school board meeting over the mural, successfully driving the artist to tears and intimidating the school board into making the artist paint over parts of it.

quote:

"It's discrimination against Christian beliefs," one man said during public comments, adding that it also qualifies as "hate material."

"When adults pretend things that are like real life, it's a mental illness. We need counselors. We need medication that's going to help bipolar disorder. Fix their brains."

[After forcing the teen artist to leave the meeting in tears]
"I feel that she did a really good job finding excuses to defend the things she put on. None of us are that stupid."

NYT conducted another redneck safari with pictures of decaying small towns and soft lit photos of 65-year old racists who don't have a racist bone in their bodies, but nevertheless don't like all the "changes" that are "coming to our community". They continue to vote for their own deaths.



The article is full of tales of desperately needed social services and healthcare, but they stolidly vote for the party that opposes those things because they hate libs more than they love their lives.

Yeah it's just reheated Blood Libel with a dash of 80s "Tide donates 10% of their profits to Satan" about your rivals.

The actual rationalization is supposedly that children have the most active pineal glands and so produce the most adrenochrome from adrenalin in their blood produced by torturing them.

Which ignores that we make synthetic epinephrine for a huge number of medical uses, and you can pretty easily turn epinephrine into adrenochrome if adrenochrome did anything worth doing that for.

I'm surprised that the epi-pen shortage didn't get tied into this nonsense.

Well, it's more like the trauma to pathological paranoia to antisemitism pipeline because antisemistism is the urconspiracy and that's where this always ends. Kanye's pathological paranoia is due to his untreated bipolar disorder and the fact that he's surrounded by a bunch of grifters who are telling him crazy poo poo to make him even crazier so they can soak him for more money. IMO.

Lara Logan's deal is that she was ousted from the tippy top of political news elites because she wrote a story about Benghazi that was riddled with errors, but again here come those right wing grifters to tell her actually everything she thinks is right, and yes Benghazi was a liberal conspiracy and then she keeps taking public L after public L and spiralling down and down and now she's on Mr. Pillow's show yelling about blood libel.

There's a reason that extremely aggrieved people - divorced men, incels, fired employees - often end up in the right wing conspiracy sphere that tells them this isn't their fault, it's the fault of [X] where in the end it was the global Jewish conspiracy the whole time.

I don't know now much a TBI is compounding Lara Logan's descent into maga madness, and I don't know how not anti-semitic Kanye would be if he was taking his lithium, maybe they'd be the same. There is a long history of tension between the black and jewish communities in the US, Jesse Jackson famously called NYC "hymie-town" back in the 80s and you frequently see famous black athletes, actors, and artists post or boost anti-semitic speech or ideas on social media before they have to walk it back (or not in the case of DeSean Jackson)
