"All this, for me? 💃Ah, you didn't have to! 🥰"

Yup, definitely not a racist at all, whatsoever!

Helter Skelter theory posted:

The apocalyptic scenario, as limned by Watkins, had Manson as the war's ultimate beneficiary and its musical cause. With the Family, Manson would create an album whose songs would bear messages as subtle as those he had heard in songs of the Beatles. These would draw the "love"—the hippies in Haight-Ashbury— to join the family.

In the vision's logic, Black men would thus be deprived of the White women whom the political changes of the 1960s had made sexually available to them; they would lash out in violent crimes against White people "[Manson]," according to Family member Brooks Poston, "said a group of real blacks would come out of the ghettos and do an atrocious crime in the richer sections of Los Angeles and other cities. They would do an atrocious murder with stabbing, killing, cutting bodies to pieces, smearing blood on the walls, writing ‘pigs’ on the walls … in the victims’ own blood.”

When frightened whites, according to Watkins and Tex Watson, would retaliate with a murderous rampage militant Black people would exploit it. They'd provoke a war of near-extermination between racist White people and non-racist White people over the treatment of Black people. In the wake of that, the militant Black people would arise to finish off the few White people who survived and to kill off all non-Black peoples.

In this holocaust, as Watkins went on to explain, the members of the enlarged Family would have little to fear; they would wait out the war in a secret city underneath Death Valley, a city they'd reach through a hole in the ground. Upon the war's conclusion, they would be the only remaining whites. Emerging from underground, they would rule the blacks, who, having "completed the white man's karma," would want no longer to kill. Proving, as Watkins explained, incapable of running the world, blacks would go to Manson, who'd "scratch [the black man's] fuzzy head and kick him in the butt and tell him to go pick the cotton and go be a good n**** ...."

Were there any contingencies for this not all going perfectly according to plan because even a slight deviation from that would create some drastically different outcomes that they seem to be unprepared for.

He's trying to say all Ukrainians are Nazis.

He is showing pictures of Azov Battalion, a militia organization that came about after the Russian Invasion of Crimea in 2014. Made up of mostly White Nationalists espousing Nazi beliefs, they were one of the more blooded and experienced units at the Russian Invasion of 2022. They have been used by Russian Propaganda (which is then parroted by the Right Wing) to demonstrate that Ukraine is a Nazi Regime, and they are liberating it. The original men who made up the unit Pre-Invasion are mostly dead, according to reports, and it is largely made of replacements. I've read somewhere that Azov as it was just doesn't exist, it's now made up of Ukrainian Conscripts, but I don't know the veracity.

I'm not defending Azov, or their heinous ideology.

I dunno, but I found this on Reddit from two years ago:

Reddit post posted:

Suppose this depends on your definition of "avoid". Pretty much all of the good wound up on the IGN forums via "The Vestibule" with very little of the bad. I always knew Something Awful existed but it seemed like a place where all of the worst elements of IGN were considered the best, and it was the place my edgelord IRL friends liked to hang on the 'net, so I never gave it any time.

I think the Texan Nazi is trying to say the shooter doesn't count as a real Nazi because he isn't white and is making a false equivalency between supporting Ukraine and being a Nazi because American white supremacists are firmly pro Putin

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Better not show him all the photos of Russian soldiers with nazi tattoos, or the founder of Wagner (who is close friends with Putin) who has literal SS lapels tattooed on himself. And for fucks sake he named his PMC "Wagner".

I'm kidding, he'll ignore all that of course, because only Ukraine has the bad people

The most hardcore Nazi I knew was a guy I worked with who was half Black, half Polish Jew.

He was 100% convinced he could have been in the SS.

This is the first video I get if I search for "cat" on twitter.

Which is also how cats hunt, so maybe the kitten isn't copying the bunny but practicing how to kill it later.

I get zero autocompletes for "cat." If I type "cat" in the search box my options are to search for "cat" or go to the page for "@cat" "ca" gets me a bunch of autocompletes as does "car," so I wonder if the put in a quick hack to stop making "cat in a blender" an autocomplete for "cat."

People talking about this is definitely driving the algorithm and by now (I'd hope) the top results would be threads talking about search instead of animal cruelty videos, but anyone who has been paying attention would know social media now needs a huge amount of moderation to remove illegal content. Musk decided he was gonna innovate and fired everyone at twitter, so now that poo poo is flourishing there.

A lot of old people still view network TV as prestige television. It's also why you usually never hear about these shows despite pulling in like 5X the viewers of, say, Succession.
