One important thing to keep in mind about Black Pride, LGBT Pride, or even Irish/Italian pride to a degree, is that these movements were created in opposition to prevailing cultural narratives telling them that who they were was shameful and lesser compared to the white anglo-saxon protestant majority. Pride is a rallying cry of the oppressed, and white pride literally cannot exist in that context because they're the ones doing the oppressing.

my read is that white pride is more clinging to some innate, if essentially meaningless quality in opposition to an other. one can claim membership in a nebulous community via visible characteristics that bind oneself to a larger whole that has no broader cohesion (in the sense that a nation does) but does share those arbitrary characteristics. those characteristics are not shared by those with generally worse social status, so you can attribute that status to their lack of that characteristic rather than, idk, more complicated socioeconomic forces in effect over the past hundred or so years, or the entirety of history, as far as your peanut brain is concerned

this is particularly meaningful if your life is otherwise poo poo: you can find "pride" in the fact that, if nothing else, you're part of the inherently better group. in less flowery language, losers desperately try to find something that demonstrates they're actually secretly a winner. for some people this is the superiority of their race, for others it's knowing "the truth" (conspiracy theories), others belief in the true faith (religious bigotry), etc.. humans are exceptional egotists, and exist in a very inequal world

Same, I recognize the fact I lucked out by being born into a white middle class family in the Portland OR suburbs. Life hasn’t been perfect but it’s a fuckload better than if I had been born in Gaza or whatever. It doesn’t make me better than those kids, just luckier.

E: Or a black kid. Or a trans kid, etc etc. Being white and cis and normally abled is like rolling a natural 20 without even being born yet.

She rules for basically the same reason I’ve said it would not apply - the president isn’t listed and is distinct from “officer of the united states.”

No sweat. I love talking about stuff like this. If you skip to page 95 on the opinion linked you can read the judge’s analysis. The big things that pushed her to rule it doesn’t apply is that there was a prior draft of the amendment that included president but the final version omitted it and there are five other distinct constitution sections that distinguish the president from officers of the united states.

I agree with this in spirit but I think this perspective particularly misses the point wrt actually understanding neo-nazi and white nationalist individuals and groups and its integration within the business/local/state/national power structure. Yeah they're losers but they're very often in powerful positions in the establishment power structure and if they were merely powerless assholes who just wanted to feel important it would be a huge improvement. It almost definitionally is not something that people are into because they have nothing and their lives are poo poo. Much of what is so damaging about it is that it specifically is people who are integrated into their communities, who have seemingly good lives*, who are in powerful positions and are able to use those to make things easier for their side and harder for everyone else. It's often people who are socially and/or economically on top who come from families that have been doing well for a long time. If anything a lot of it seems to come out of a worldview that recognizes someone will always be on the bottom and you really, really do not want that to be you. 'white pride' is functionally more of a shibboleth for the above than necessarily a literal statement, though sometimes it also is said literally, too.

how the actual groups recruit is another story, those definitely are going after people without much going for them and will take basically anyone that they think might be useful to them, which is basically just gangs 101, but those groups are really the tip of the iceberg wrt the greater problem of neonazis and white nationalists

* I deeply share the sentiment that no one going through life bigoted as gently caress is living a truly good life, but that is unfortunately an external perspective. There's a lot of really horrible people living entirely comfortable, seemingly happy lives. that said it's 20:1 no-chin dudes for every bigot district attorney or w/e

If it actually got appealed that high, yes. I dunno that it does. Appeals cost money, and I don’t think the petitioners here have the gumption to appeal all the way through Colorado courts and then the SCOTUS.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

Looks like Starship had a pretty successful test flight, first stage went up with all engines burning and a successful second stage separation and burn. The first stage did end up going kaboom after the flip maneuver and something happened to the second stage sometime close to engine cutoff but those were both in the expected outcomes. Guess we'll see how much abuse the pad suffered.

I have every level of faith in the SCOTUS that we're going to have for the next few decades finding some absurd, superficial excuse to outline exactly why something would apply to a Democratic president but not Donald Trump.
