I want to see what they think white people do. I also like they think Hispanics just naturally act like Catholics and only picked Catholicism for the synergy.

Fauxtool posted:actually if you dont want to be hurt by anti-racist boycotts dont do anything because they have never been effective on either side of the political spectrum. Remember how the chick fil a boycott went? If your gonna do this don’t just flail about, pick and argument and stick with it. Don’t make two arguments that conflict with each other.

Captain Monkey posted:He is correct in that Sears used to be a much better company than it is now. To try and suggest that 'sales guy at Sears' was ever more than 'a nice, but averge paying job' is ridiculous and they both know it. Yeah I mean imagine arguing at any point a retail job is not average. It may be better than modern retail jobs but that says more about now than then.

I will say even for Phanatic this is an incredibly lazy argument. There are so many concern troll ways to go but intentionally misinterpreting the argument is the laziest route.

I mean it’s not like it matters, income now versus the 70s being massively different is a well proven fact so it’s not like it matters. Hell the original argument didn’t even dispute this.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:The cost of college alone is enough to place the 70s way way ahead of modern times. Slam out a degree that you pay off (sometimes in full) with a part time job. Get a great job, move wherever you want to go, and enjoy a cheap, spacious, and conveniently located home. Now you're forced to go where the job is and if its located somewhere like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, etc you better enjoy renting at exorbitant prices since you'll never get a home loan with those student debts. There's so many vectors and markets that were better back then that its loving absurd to argue otherwise. Yeah the tech boom actually destroyed a lot of costal cities and that didn’t become a thing until the 90s

I like how now when presented with actual evidence it’s proposed that the guy is lying for some reason. Just like stop digging this is getting pathetic. Just accept you were talking about something you were t well versed in. It happens to everyone. You can be wrong online.

Phlegmish posted:Who else speculated on it that hasn't been cited yet? I can find no instance of it even being mentioned outside of this specific conflict, and there's nothing to indicate that these attempts were actually successful, or that conscious biological warfare in the Americas ever resulted in something that could be reasonably termed a genocide. It's such a weird thing to focus on when there were so many well-documented and recurrent atrocities committed by Europeans that did result in a heightened mortality rate for Native Americans. I think it’s weirder to pull a pointless semantics game IMO.

Infomercials oversell because a character slightly spilling something isn’t exactly attention grabbing. It doesn’t have much to do with disabilities even if the products themselves actually are useful to them.

Hardly anyone here knows about the various atrocities committed by the British imperial state and it's hosed up. You guys can’t really move past as long as Churchill is still treated as a hero.

Other places are not so systematic. That’s how it basically was in China, large scale homophobia only really started appearing with the introduction of Christianity. Before it was an accepted position though with the restrictions you would expect

PHIZ KALIFA posted:charles martel (aka charles "the hammer" martel) is a popular figure in right wing white nationalist groups because he lead an army against some muslims. Mostly in Europe. I doubt many American ones even know about Tours though maybe a few. Though Muslims aren’t exactly the main focus of American nationalists nowadays. Tours is pretty funny in that it’s a battle neither side cared all that much about, despite its historical significance. Kind of like the Muslims versus the Chinese in Central Asia.
