quote:

The numbers listed as the call’s origin are different each time, but the content is apparently the same. A man’s voice in a pre-recorded message says, “We’ve been monitoring some of your posts and it does seem that you’ve been making some rather negative comments about President Trump. Is that correct?”

After pausing as if waiting for a response, the man says, “Listen. We’re going to have to ask you to lay off on the negative and derogatory posts about President Trump, OK?” After another pause, the man says, “What’s your problem, anyways? Don’t you want to make America great again?”

“Well, you’ve been warned,” says the man to end the message. “We’ll be keeping an eye on you. Have a nice day.”

The script is cartoonish enough to sound like a prank. That might not be out of character for Citizens for Trump: The group is affiliated with Jack Posobiec, a Trump-supporting stunt artist and self-proclaimed investigative journalist, who listed himself in a bio as its former Special Projects Director in 2016.

you know what? You're right, I think using the term 'white people' is too broad and too stupid a term to use, I apologize. I didnt mean inherent to people racially, I meant that theres something that is perpetuating these idiotic attitudes that doesnt seem to be going away, and when we thought that technology and the mass availability of information would get rid of these attitudes, all it did was raise a new generation of this same group of people who are the same assholes who make peoples lives miserable throughout the centuries.

I'm trying to figure out a catch all term for the kinds of people who are being frothed into fascism and racism in america, these people are so ready and so willing to listen and swallow bullshit from ANYONE except the people actually trying to lift them from their poverty and make their lives better, this strange insistence on cutting their own noses off and the noses of everyone else who, not coincidentally, are weaker and and worse off than they are. this strange subset of people that just keep coming back again and again to just make peoples lives miserable for no reason and keep falling for the same set of charlatans and assholes like Peterson over and over and learn nothing and refuse to learn. I read this happen over and over in american history so much that the pattern keeps happening, Simply conservatives? Republican voters? Midwestern Ford dealership fascists?

my dad is a lifelong democrat, hates the republican senators from his state, etc. etc.

obama broke his fuckin brain

every time i visit he manages to get himself worked up over how "the blacks are taking over" and trying to "force their culture down his throat and he's not going to take it"

that said, he's hardly that privileged - he's pretty squarely in the middle of the "boomers getting hosed by the system" via medicare cuts, gutting of social programs, etc. i don't really have a cogent explanation of why he's the way he is other than the fact that he grew up in the jim crow south and honestly just has this incredibly deep-seated racism that absolutely nothing can touch.

(((they))) are stealing all the money from hard working REAL americans like him. health insurance would be like $30 if it wasn't for those people sucking it up.

yeah, it's this. i've had numerous discussions with him about it. the funny part is that he's absolutely on board for some bernie-style socialism. he 100% agrees that we need to tax the rich, that universal health care makes more sense, that the wall street fuckers are the problem.

he just thinks black people are literally sub-human and that there's a conspiracy to have black culture forced on him.

it's funny because i think you really do see echoes of this in the much younger kek/chud idiot crowd, it's some weird purestrain virulent racism that dehumanizes non-whites and for the life of me i can't figure out how it got so popular again other than centrist/liberal sorts declaring racism to be a solved problem and not actually addressing the problem over the past 30-odd years.

real talk though: my advice is for anyone left of center in the US, is to just grab a gun and start finding like minded people to train with

cruz was a trump supporting chud dipshit, so his rampage shows the kinds of thing right-wing america is just willing to do now, for fun. and you can bet your local white militiamen are making lists of people to murder in your community, which includes you, if you've ever voiced disapproval of trump or suggested migrants are people.

eventually chuds are just going to go to conventions or hotels, or just any gathering of people they don't like, and start shooting, and it's going to be a regular thing. either you shoot them back or you die. cops won't do anything and the media won't report it as right-wing political terrorism, which this shooting was (and which you never hear about, only platitudes of 'mental health').

don't do any terrorism though, because that never works. but they ran heather heyer over with a car, so don't think they wouldn't go that far.

Wait you mean rudatron was poisoning the discussion on race with cherrypicked extreme anomalies?

But that, that, that is what a racist would do.... :wth:

idk i really only skimmed the meltdown

the world would be much better if everyone just ignored bad faith chud arguments but we live in hellworld where every iota of ginned up rage must be equivocated

however, there's plenty of people on the left eager to jump down people's throats for misunderstanding or misinterpreting academic language. i grew up in appalachia, i've gotten my fair share of "do they even wear shoes" tier dumbass classism from so-called coastal elites. if you aren't couched in the language of oppression, of course you're going to see ill intent where it doesn't exist and/or you're going to be very susceptible to thinking "racism" is a thing that can happen to everyone equally, because the term has been abused in the US especially.

i do wonder what youtube will look like in a few years.

"creators" who were talking about the death of the MSM a few years ago are supremely asspained in 2018 now that the MSM are frequently trending and getting millions and millions of views a day. even stuff like colbert who has been on break for a month is getting millions of views on his trump rants

hell its not just news stuff, the wwe had 1.2 billion views last month alone. corporations have taken it over

eventually they're going to paywall everything that isn't from an actual Big Company and/or prevent you from uploading without paying them. at some point the magical money fountain runs out and advertisers will stop subsidizing internet media. the next dot-com burst will be the adtech bubble.

I watched some of the 'debate' he had with that Destiny guy about free speech and it turns out he's just completely stupid. He kept going on about how it was a fact that there was more violence on the left at protests than the right because all the videos he watched on youtube about them showed it. He didn't understand confirmation bias and had no understanding of any kind of data collection or statistics on left/right wing violence and his entire argument was founded on his youtube history, it was pretty amazing.
