Yeah, I am assuming they are using perfectly average pictures and he's just complaining that he doesn't look like one of those political cartoons that draw him as superman. Also this is his way of blaming someone else for not looking great.

Panfilo posted:poo poo they think totally happened To be honest, I find it completely plausible that a white liberal would say this, and not really mean it, but mean it a little bit. Left-of-centre whiteness has the bad habit of assuming that just because we aren't intentionally and loudly racist, that we're not racist at all, and -- well -- that's just not true. The right-wing plausibly not-racist position on this subject is "Black people can compete on merit, it's racist to say otherwise" which denies the existence of systemic racism, and the left-wing ignorantly racist position is "Black people need help because, gosh darnit, they just have it so hard that they can't otherwise compete," which is also mostly ignoring systemic racism inasmuch as it fails to name the actual problem. White people do not enjoy talking about systemic racism because it reflects poorly on them and might make them feel like they didn't actually earn what they have (which is often true).

I don't know, not that there aren't people with the tweet's "King of the Hill"-style liberal cartoon character perspective, but I think that accounting is probably bad-faith reading of his aunt saying "the meritocracy won't be enough to lift black people up, because they have to contend with discrimination." Michele Obama's "black people have to be twice as good to get the same result" basically.

Left-of-centre whiteness has the bad habit of assuming that just because we aren't intentionally and loudly racist, that we're not racist at all, and -- well -- that's just not true. The problem is, the "merits" are determined by old rich white people. And, man. I said it yesterday but you'd think that RWM and their listeners would be jumping for joy at the SCOTUS rulings this week but nope. THey're just as mad as they always are because some people disagree with the rulings. The "refusing to provide service" one is interesting to me. I remember being asked to design a rather graphic and very nasty anti abortion pamphlet at a printing job I worked at. I didn't flat out refuse, even though I wanted to, and simply had another employee work on it but where is that line drawn? I've turned down freelance work for gun shops, political candidates and certain churches before. I suppose that, after just writing that out, I answered my own question: that refusing that work didn't "discriminate" against people based on things they can't control like race or sexual orientation and was more a decision I made not to lend my talent to things that I inherently disagree with. On the other hand, I HAVE designed some stuff for a few Republican political candidates and also some police department stuff, despite my personal opinions. Pretty sure if I had just flat out refused to work on the pro life piece and do my job though, I'd have been fired. What if I say that, as an atheist, my religion (or lack of one) prohibits me from working on the Total Assholes Church of Republican Jesus Christ newsletter that my company gave me? I used to layout one for a church a while back and I noticed that, every week, there was a "god bless/lord, please look over person's name" footnote section and it ALWAYS local or national republicans. George W. Bush, the local Republican Sheriff, a GOP Governor, etc. I wasn't prepared to die on that hill and have a cow about it. I did the work anyway but aren't my religious beliefs legitimate also?

There was, of course, a perfectly good explanation.

Conservatives are actually super fine with LGBTQ people counter-excluding people; this helps support their narrative that "leftists are the REAL bigots", lets them take credit for a policy change they'll claim now benefits LGBTQ people vs democrats that do nothing but virtue signal for votes, and finally, it helps normalize their own prejudice because when you call them out they'll have plenty of ammo they can use for counter examples. A minority group is also not going to have as much power to negatively impact conservatives like this. Is some Christian going to be unable to rent an apartment in an entire town because none of the Satanist landlords will rent to them? It also leads to further balkanization of states which conservatives also support, since that gives another way for them to legitimize their bigotry by pointing to the lgbt friendly states and arguing that a gay person is certainly better off living somewhere that is more accepting of them.

Yeah. It sucks, but the moment a headline goes up that looks like "Gay doctor refuses to treat Evangelical Preacher, who then died of heart attack", they'll be dancing in the streets at how much hay they'll be making of it in more restrictive, aggressive legislation.

The closest thing I've had to a black-pill moment was hearing the death toll in states that refused Medicare expansions - those politicians killed their constituents as directly as if they'd gone from house to house personally executing them, and they've only been rewarded ever since. Really, after that, COVID was just more of the same.

Hannity today and what I assume was a rerun said that he won't have Chris Christie on his show because Chris is a "blowhard" who only "says negative things". This is from a guy who supports Donald J. Trump. He also did a "comedy" segment; and NOTHING is worse than conservatives attempting comedy. Check out relative newcomer Mark Kaye and a few of his bits. Sean did a thing where he didn't know how to pronounce the word "homage" and made a bet with another guy that it was pronounced "Home Age". This is from a supposed "journalist" that we're supposed to take seriously. Who the gently caress doesn't know to pronounce "homage"? It then segued into more "humor" where they poked fun of the French and the funny way they talk. You see, Sean is just a regular American guy who doesn't know fancy French words and it's funny. Good thing Sean Hannity doesn't want to give air time to "blowhards: who insult people nor learn how to say words that an 8th grader would know.

Seems Reuters did a searchable report about US Presidents / Politicians and the slave owners they are descended from. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-slavery-lawmakers-overview/ While information is a good thing, what a bad idea thats just going to be used politically by douchebags.  Trump, of course, forgets to mention that his dad was arrested at a Klan riot in 1927 and has been in court for refusing to rent to black renters.

Dirk the Average posted:It's this. There is no introspection as to which politicians and platforms best align with their belief system. There is no thought about how the Bible literally condemns the idea of praying publicly to show how "Christian" you are to everyone (according to my evangelical relatives, it's just a thing you have to do if you want to win an election). And the sheer hatred for the "other" that lurks beneath the surface of some folks in the evangelical wing of my family is a sight to behold (it's never directed at anyone they know personally, just those people, you know the ones). I know I'm a week late, sorry in advance, but you're kinda making my point "christians" hold power which christians? cuz here's my church https://stbasilneworleans.org/ the christians that hold power in the United States do not consider my christians to even be christians, in a lot of cases not even to be people

Whether it be the music you listen to, what women can do with their bodies or what you watch on TV. There has always been a Christian group there screaming that you are doing it wrong and the Christians in power have been the ones to lead the charge and change the law to suit their needs. Just think of when Elvis or Tom Jones would get picketed because shaking their hips was considered obscene or people screamed they had the devil in them. Or that playing the Beatles albums backward was a tool of Satan. Holy poo poo so much stupid poo poo but the politicians just followed along.

Right now conservatives are freaking out about the riots in France and saying "the west has fallen!" yet simultaneously praising American Muslims that stomp on pride flags. It's crazy how easily they can whiplash between the two extremes. Remember when they were talking about "sharia law"? Now they are praising the same people for wanting their enemies to suffer. I wanna see some Muslim groups take them to task for this--"Well you support our religious convictions in the Land Of The Free, surely you won't mind another few mosques in Charleston, right?"

Remember when France made the wearing of overtly religious clothing/symbols illegal? I never heard a single report of a nun having her veil whipped off, but I sure did hear about a woman sitting on the beach being required, at gunpoint, to take off some of her clothes because she looked Muslim. And burkinis are still banned. Muslim women, or indeed, any women who want to swim without stripping down, are not legally allowed to. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61883529.amp

Yeah, that's what's so infuriating - they responded to actual terrorist attacks by harassing women who are doing nothing more inflammatory than choosing to dress as they wish. It's as loving authoritarian as requiring women to wear veils in public, but it's dressed up as being liberal and secular.
