The "defending CP" is the bit he should be focusing on, not the (soy) cuck bit. I've never heard of Sneako so I dunno about him freaking out about cucks while being one himself, but I refuse to look into or think about this or any of these people further.

Baron von Eevl posted:This also depends on how you define "Asian" - Vivien Leigh was born in India and likely had Indian heritage, Cher has Armenian heritage, and Natalie Portman was born in Israel. Not that your point is off, but this might be the first time I've ever seen someone include Israel in the "how is Asian defined" discussion.

grittyreboot posted:Calling Natalie Portman asian is basically the same as that one guy who called Elon Musk African American Musk is from South Africa. So is technically African-American, (depending on his citizenship. If he never got his US passport he may just be African.) And race/identity aside, Michelle Yeoh is from Malaysia. So she is Asian. Bingo bango. My utterly worthless 2c on the "1st person who identifies as Asian to win an Oscar" article is that the article's authors/publishers are trying to seem more progressive than they are by aping "woke" language without understanding any of the meaning or context behind it. Whether maliciously or incompetently, I couldn't say. But we all know which one it is more likely to be. Much like the arseholes who call Musk "African-American" are making their racist 'joke' playing with language trying to make it seem that they aren't as bigoted as they actually are.

Anti-Woke Banking Startup Cancels Itself quote:In its short tenure GloriFi, managed to launch checking and savings accounts as well as credit cards, with plans to offer mortgages and insurance in a future that will no longer take place. Founder and CEO Toby Neugebauer pitched plans to offer gun owners discounts on home insurance, credit cards made of shell casing material, and assistance paying legal bills if customers shot someone in self-defense. Over the summer, GloriFi secured conservative commentator Candace Owens as a co-founder and spokesperson for the brand. quote:According to the Journal, the company was eventually forced to hire a law firm to investigate workplace issues, particularly around Neugebauer. In one memo reviewed by the Journal, GloriFi’s former Head of Human Resources Britt Amos described several employees at Neugebaur’s mansion telling him to “make sure I leave around six,” and explaining that “after 5 p.m. Toby starts drinking and things at the house deteriorate quickly.” Amos also described a meeting where a visibly drunk Neugebauer was “drinking Red Bull and putting alcohol in it.”

Everything you don't like is simultaneously leftist, communist, woke, fascist, the real racist, and satanic. The concept is called a snarl word because the words serve essentially the same function as making growling noises at the thing you dislike.

Both that and the snarl usage are I would suggest, indicative of the same approach to language, the words don't mean things they're just thrown in to lend emotional reinforcement to the other statements in the sentence.

My first exposure to Tim Pool was his reporting (or "reporting", I seem to remember him not doing much) on the Ferguson stuff back in 2014. He definitely wasn't right-wing then...not leftist, either, but he wasn't cheering on the cops or anything. I could be misremembering if he dropped some red flags or not back then, though. I thought Rogan's whole thing for decade(s) now is being a libertarian...

Read After Burning posted:I thought Rogan's whole thing for decade(s) now is being a libertarian... At this point I think it's hard to pretend that being "Libertarian" is anything but being right-wing without saying the quiet parts out loud. "Oh, we just want smaller government, less handouts and to be able to hunt the poor for sport, but we're not racists." Ignoring that minorities also often tend to be the ones that are poorest and that they also vehemently oppose protections for the weakest, which is essentially enshrining the powerful's right to push them around.
