I meant, what did the journalist actually say, and what did trump say about his desire for the parade that shows he thinks that?

The text on the document in the image is Hebrew, but the text in the tweet is not. (Arabic?). Odd. I wonder why...

E: unless the document is Arabic written in Hebrew characters for some reason?

I'm not an expert in the history of that region, but that wouldn't be surprising. For large portions of history, Hebrew was a liturgical language used only for prayer and scripture. Jews would learn to read and write Hebrew for the purpose of reading scripture but would speak the local language for purposes other than prayer. Oftentimes literacy in the local language is not widespread, leading Jews to use the Hebrew alphabet when writing in other languages. This has led to the formation Jewish dialects which adapt a language to more suit the alphabet through the use of hebrew phonemes and loanwords, like Yiddish and Ladino.

If you didn't do it on that off-white horizontal paper with the color guidelines, did you even really learn how to write?



The school I work in has the lines labeled with little pictures, sky, plane, grass, worm. It's easier to verbally correct a kids handwriting since the lines have names. "A capital V goes all the way from the sky line to the grass line," "a lower case g has to reach all the way to the worm line" etc.

they do it all the time when the corpse isn't "photogenic" enough for the mortician to do it up with some formaldehyde and makeup and get it looking fresh / just-like-new

Pretty sure I've heard stuff like 'make it a clised-casket funeral' in media in reference to killing someone violently more often than I've heard talk of actual closed-casket funerals.

Pretty sure all the funerals I've been to were closed-casket, though, so either open-casket just isn't a thing in Australia or all my grandparents died in shootouts and nobody told me.

The italicized "literal" in your post confused me, since even in that euphemistic sense there is still a literal closed casket funeral afterwards. It seemed like you thought a closed casket funeral was an unusual circumstance or something.

I've been to open casket funerals, they are just as bizarre and unsettling as you are imagining.

:ohdear: My brain just spiralled a bit thinking of how bad a topic you can talk about under the umbrella of "human biodiversity." Positively, I'm picturing someone going "I love banging foreigners. Black folks, Asian folks, Mexican folks, even the darker kinds of Canadians, I collect them like Pokemon."

Mostly though, I realize it's got to be about "We're, ah, discussing the negative impacts, of, ah, human biodiversity, which is why my daughter is not allowed to date anyone who rates 3 or higher on the Munsell Color Standard for Frozen French Fried Potatoes."

Haha, nope! They love human biodiversity, which is why they are anti-miscegenation! You see, currently there's people of all different races. But if those races interbreed, then they dilute that diversity. So they believe people should only associate within there own race, but it's not because they are racist, they just don't want the races to lose what is unique and special about them by blending. It's closely tied with ethno-nationalism, because once you have this idea, it's clear that nations make the perfect borders for these races. So every country should kick out everyone who doesn't belong to their dominant race, Germans stay in Germany, Jews stay in Israel, etc. This idea never extends to white people leaving America to Native Americans, because it is actually an elaborate deflection from their obvious racism.

The whole point is to give plausible deniability to the racist things they do and say, so nothing about it can be negative. They love Black people! And how black they are! And they love Africa! So black people shouldn't associate with white people, because it would make them less black, and they should go back to Africa, not because they are racist but because the slave trade was a terrible evil that separated people from their homelands and should be reversed. In fact you are the real racist for disagreeing.

To be clear none of this is anything I believe I am just explaining the racism, which I hate.

Blackula is clearly reading different HBD blogs than me because the ones I know of are just thinly veiled scientific racism from internet "rationalist" / "dark enlightenment" peeps and never said anything about loving black people.
Yknow "im not racist, it's just simple phrenology genetics that those people are lower IQ".

There was a big thing where prominent rationalist blogger Scott Alexander aka Scott Siskind aka Slatestarcodex was secretly big into scientific racism / HBD and friends with lots of alt-right racists behind the scenes. After the New York Times ran an article about him, an ex-acquaintance leaked an email chain leaked where he talked about being a scientific-racism true believer but trying to go light on that stuff stuff so he could slowly expose his audience to it and radicalize his readers without scaring them off.

and since this is pyf tweets have it in tweet form (the tweet thread has since been deleted):





I've probably specifically seen the stupidest expressions of this movement because my exposure to it is almost entirely people making fun of them.

To be clear, no one believes them about not hating other races, not even themselves, it's just an exercise in plausible deniability.

And what about this advertisement looks like that instead of the meaning it's had for years and years? Blaming everything on nameless faceless chuds just makes me think people don't remember the point of the boy who cried wolf.

I think what people mean is that, while groom has meant attend to hygiene and appearance, or prepare for sexual exploitation, for years, recently people on the far right have expanded it so much they use it to refer to anything they don't like, much like woke. Expanding the meaning so aggressively muddies the water to the point that even an add for hair clippers seems questionable.

And considering how many figures on the far right turn out to actually be sexual groomers, this is at least partly intentional
