I'm black and I'm am sick of over representation/diversity for the sake of it. When I first started hearing this push for diversity, I thought they meant hiring the best person available, but it is clear that it means less or no white people. I live in a majority white country, so there is no reason to whine if I see white people in entertainment. That should be pretty clear cut.
Also, another problem is that it has reached a point where I am hesitant to watch anything with a female, black, or hispanic cast made in the last few years because most likely it will be yet another feminist lecture, lecture about race, or an immigration lecture where there is only one point of view.
Add in the fact that they constantly push these movies or tv shows and we are supposed to love every lazy reboot.
One of the reasons I pretty much don't watch or read anything past 2014.
Honestly I think a female or minority author/director who cared about writing good stories would have a very hard time in Hollywood if they didn't push the usual left wing talking points.
Look how Jordan Peele, Ava Duvernay, etc. are treated as if they are Hitchcock on steroids.
A part of it is self-fulfilling prophecy. Not how it started, but eventually they added so much social justice worrier crap that they lost normal people, so now most of the people on netflix and that watch sitcoms are SJWs so if they don't make it over the top they'll lose their remaining audience.
Nobody that canceled Netflix because of "Cuties" or whatever else is coming back ever. Basically real-life bridge burning.
Cuties was the last straw for me with Netflix. When I cancelled I mentioned how they couldn’t shut up about race narratives.
What makes no sense is that as someone who go grew up in 80s/90s I remember shows like Cosby Show, Family Matters, and Fresh Prince that everyone enjoyed. Just like you said now a show with a largely black cast will be sjw nonsense.
I grew up in the 90s too. Loved Fresh Prince and Family Matters. Carlton, his dad, and Will Smith were amazing characters.
I can’t watch anything with black people in it now because it will inevitably be preachy. The “minority” has to either be perfect, or a victim. What about a flawed human you can actually relate to? Only the rare good shows, usually with an all or mostly white cast, still do it.
The last thing I saw with black people in it that had any real depth was Firefly. I gave up and don’t watch TV anymore though.
Sometimes I'll watch something old out of nostalgia, but it reminds me of how little good content there is now so it's a double edged sword. I haven't done it in a while.
I'm actually more into reality than fantasy atm. Maybe because I'm older, or maybe because reality is so surreal, who knows? The only fantasy thing I'm reading right now is Dune, since I was always curious about its popularity and they made that new movie about it. It's a weird story written by a somewhat degenerate lefty who seems to pine for a lost age where men were tougher. At least that is my impression by book 4, but I can see why people like it. It is thought provoking, and would be more so if I were younger and not a Christian already who has awareness of how weak our society is.
Nowadays I like to watch JLP for entertainment. He's the funniest guy I've ever seen, and it seems to be effortless to him. Outside of that, I'm doing productive things instead, like reading about nutrition and studying programming. I'm beginning to understand that men should be learning and building things. Our society is focused on sensations, base pleasure seeking and status. It might sound strange, but I think it's an intentional trap to keep young men hopeless and distracted in order to enrich older men who already occupy positions of power. They don't want us to notice that we can compete and even destroy the existing systems, or that they are erecting as many legal barriers as possible to slow us down. Anything to try and keep that cycle of destruction and renewal at bay.
I cycle between fiction and non fiction books. I actually finished Dune back in July. Then read some Thomas Sowell and now I’m reading the LOTR trilogy. When Covid started I got more serious about nutrition because I feel we will all get it and the best thing I can do is have a healthy immune system.
Nice, I loved LOTR. May try reading it again as it's been a while. Yeah now that we're entering dark times I feel like everyone is intuitively preparing in their own way to survive. I will never step into a hospital again if I can avoid it.
This is the best book about nutrition:

This is the fundamental building block to understanding how things work:
You know, I never drew a hard line over any of the streaming platforms -- but I did naturally drift away from Netflix probably over the past 2 years. Yes, their politics suck. But so does their entire platform lmao their content has become garbage and the actual app itself blows. Who was the fucking brainiac that decided "let's make every title auto play a preview that you can't turn off without visiting the website" and also made it so that it's pretty much impossible to only view selections that are in your spoken language.
But God there sure is a lot of the trash you're mentioning also. It doesn't even offend me though honestly- it's so transparent that I can't help but laugh at this point.
Psychology research shows that all social groups tend to become more extreme over time.
Then there are factors working against this natural impulse. In 80s/90s TV there was a limited marketplace; you've got like three stations and as much as the people running them wanted to put on more extreme content their reality was they had to get views and bring in the money. Also red lines like "Cuties" where as the group gets more extreme it loses some members and gets smaller.
So today you have fewer forces pulling people to the cohesive center. You can run a streaming service only for SJWs or Furries or Anime and not go out of business. Or reddit where the hive-mind gets the top spot and the 49% views are hidden at the bottom or censored.
...doesn't bode well unless we can figure out how to add back in some commonality.

Which is why diversity doesn't work unless you have some some kind of strong uniting civil society forced on everyone from childhood, or one group is is culturally dominant - supreme, if you will.
The basis of the modern world-order is the nation-state, a single people with a core ethos united in a single political entity. Due to convenience, the majority of these nation-states are ethno-states; people do not move away from the land of their birth without an impetus. They have disagreements over the best method to reach their common goal, and these disagreements are peaceful and do not disrupt the cohesion of the nation.
The basis of the post-modern world order, by contrast, is the destruction of the nation-state by fracturing the nation to empower the State. Foreigners are imported and natives are separated from the old ethos to further disunity. They are two or more peoples occupying the same physical space and vying for control of the same political system, not to implement their policies to achieve common goals, but to achieve mutually-exclusive goals.
Of course, this post-modern world order is a recipe for conflict. Every history of every people who ever lived in a state that was not a nation-state (or city-state, where the city was a subset of the nation) contains a horrific, bloody chapter where the peoples in that state fought over power and against the neighbor-turned-enemy. Southeastern Europe, where the scions of Islamic invaders settled, Africa and the post-Ottoman Near East, contemporary China, and in every place where tribes of early man settled, vicious conflicts erupted over the control of resources.
The post-modern world order will collapse in a fountain of blood that will leave Rwanda, Bosnia, and Syria footnotes in a chapter of history that will, if we are fortunate, be written and retold so that future generations do not make the same mistake our ancestors have, unless by some miracle we can forestall this fate and reverse the forming of the abyss that has separated the nations from themselves.
I get tired of this, because every single time they add someone from a "minority" they make the character unbearable and unlikeable. I start rooting against them.
I'm even more on the fact, if the movie or series they are making comes from somewhere else, like a book, comic, game or something, they should cast the character that best represents it. But they prefer to grab something, race and gender swap instead of creating something with the characters already created that represents the people they want.
Heck, why can't they use the example of Spartan? They needed diversity on Arrow. So they created a very good character that didn't exist in the comic. He grew up as a character, had flaws, battled against it, and more. And he quickly became my favorite character. I know, CW of all things. But I guess their creativity went all on the creation of Spartan, and now they are a mess! heh!
Instead of BATWAHMXN, they could have made SPARTAN tv show... But nah!
Exactly. Race/gender swaps are so lazy. Also there are characters in comic books that aren’t used. And a main annoyance I think is the constant push that we have to love it.
Well I can’t disagree but there is some laziness. Take the upcoming Wheel of Time show. In that larger world there are people of other races, however they are being lazy too by race swapping the main characters. The main subversion is stating the main character is someone who it is not.
Eric July had a video on how much this irritates him, especially when they race swap a popular white comic book character while ignoring dozens of existing black characters who sit on the shelf and never get a shot.
Absolutely. I’m a big fan of his. Discovered him through geeks and gamers and nerdrotic. It’s also funny how with every race and gender swap they pay themselves on the back like it’s some major accomplishment
I loved Diggle too. It really comes down to good actors and good writing. Granted CW stuff’s cheesy, but it’s cheesy in an enjoyable way. Plenty of great black actors in things, like Idris Elba and Denzel’s son. I haven’t seen their full catalog or anything, but I can’t recall either of them being in anything that was about them being black.
I don’t watch much of anything, but if movies or shows look like they’re about the race or genders or sexual preferences of the characters, it’s a good filtering mechanism to know it’s going to suck. In part because with the current SJW belief system, they can’t give characters any flaws or be critical of their culture in the process, which would be the fucking point of a narrative work.
We don’t exactly need more things about gay people, but as an example, if they made something about gay people that hated the current alphabet movement and they called each other fags and joked around about things, went into being gay maybe not at all defining them, questioning whether or not they would want to marry a woman to have kids because maybe they still wanted that despite loving cock, or went into how many if not most gay people have some fucked up childhood experiences that amount to molestation or rape, it would at least be interesting. Maybe go into how some people probably aren’t gay but just want attention. All kinds of things that could be interesting if well written that would be about gay people. But they never do that and can’t because it’d present gay people as flawed. They always present gay people as these super human Gary Sue’s that just want to suck dick in peace but everyone’s giving them shit about it. In real life nobody gives a fuck. It’s not enough to make for the basis of being a character in a story.
Any narrative work that presents all characters as flawless isn’t a narrative work in any deep sense.
These streaming networks allow the oligarchs to really shift up the propaganda. A show no longer needs to have a certain level of viewers as long as service as a whole maintains a certain number of subscribers. So a show that would traditionally tank in rankings on cable now can be run in the name of "stakeholder capitalism" (goy programming and education).
Anyone who pays for these services is a huge part of the problem. It's a shameful thing.
Only adding fuel to the fire of the argument that "white supremacists" claim white people are being bred out of existence but at the same time I've heard "black supremacists" claim that it's a plot to breed black people out of existence. The globalist powers certainly want all the commoners blended into some generic ambiguous brown, you also see it in some Sci-Fi settings like Subnautica where nearly every picture or in-game model of a human is some sort of mulatto.
In Australia, it’s 2% of the population (yes, TWO. At most. Self-identified, that is…), and about 60% representation…
Imagine if your Injuns played up, and demanded they be “the most represented group in pop culture, as the original custodians”)…
That’s what it’s like here, no word of a lie…
And it’s going to fucking break this place in two. Just like HAmerica and MapleSyrupStan… 😑
Oh, and Kiwiland, of course…
But they’re so far off the deep end, under Psycho Cindy and her face tattoo clan (again, I am not making this up), that I barely even count them as a real country anymore, tbh, lol…
If we’re going to make things about race, natives usually end up better off overall for white people having shown up. In North America, there were some tribes that were chill, but most seemingly were not, and they just roamed around living in harsh conditions and dying. Now they live in the most prosperous nation on the planet and get free college and generally free anything.
If we’re going to talk about contributions to the world, have native populations from America or Australia really done anything of lasting value? I mean really, like anything at all. You go back to Greece and Rome and shit there still shapes the world, and they had beautiful architecture and made democracy and the rule of law. The fuck did natives do around those times? Shit in the woods?
In North America, there were some tribes that were chill, but most seemingly were not
It really is a matter of the tribe. I know here in my state, we have 2 very distinct, but very different interactions with Indians (And I will call them that, because every one I have spoken to referred to themselves as "Indian Peoples").
The First Wave, when the eastern half of the state was founded, was fairly tame. This was groups like the Iowa, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox, Osage, and Kanza. They werent "peaceful" like the whole "Nobel Savage" stereotype the Left likes, but they were generally more willing to engage with settlers. And even to this day, most of these tribes take an attitude of "The scars of the past can not be healed. All we can do is move forward, this time as brothers rather than enemies."
The Second Wave, when the western half of the state was founded? That was groups like the Cheyenne, Apache, Comanche, and Arapaho. And they committed absolute terror on the prairie against anyone and everyone. That part of the state still bares the scars of their attacks, that part of the state still has lots of (arguably deserved) prejudice against Indians. Incidentally, those tribes are also usually the most "White Man back to Europe! REEEEE!" tribes.
That’s another reason I never liked the idea of calling them Native Americans. If you were really being respectful you’d talk about them by their tribe name because half the tribes hate all the rest anyone and they’re not the same. May as well call all Asian people Orientals instead of Korean and Japanese and Chinese and Thai. If you’re actually being respectful you’d refer to them by what they are, not a made up name to make it easier to lump them into a voter block.
The "noble savage" thing also annoys me because it acts like if not for that dastardly white man these other people would be ruling the world instead. Umm we weren't the only ones with way more technological progress in less time, the arabs had quite the head start on the europeans and didn't have the setback of the bubonic plague but they did ruin themselves with Islam and then the Chinese might have fared better in the colonial period if not for the habit of killing off all the scholars every time a new emperor came into power. Meanwhile most of these "aboriginals" hadn't even invented the damn wheel of all things and who says they really would have progressed that much if left completely isolated for another few centuries?
Honestly, not being able to breathe properly is the worst bit, I think, so far…
That and the insomnia, yes.
But cheers, ha. I’m doing my best to cope, lololol…
I really, really want to avoid more invasive shit…
Spinal tap (I wish it was the band/mockumentary, but sadly not), yesterday gave me a new appreciation of just how fucked pregnancy must be, if THAT’s how bad an epidural, sort of, on its own, is…
Like Jesus Christ, how does ANYONE get used to that??! 😳
And that’s WITHOUT the labor and contractions, of course…
I mean, I was going for what the other guy suggested, honestly, but that works, too… Because it is. I almost like your suggestion better now, in fact, lol…
But yeah, HAm. Like Hamburger. My version of Burgerstan, which I’ve heard more commonly before, basically, lol…
Though… What does that make Aus, then? Vegemitestan?! 😂 Snag-in-bread-Stan? Meat-pie-and-kangaroo-land..?
Shit, you guys will have to come up with one. I’m too biased (Vegemite for me, dawg), lol.
Glad you like Maple-Syrup-Stan! I thought it was more creative than Canuckistan, at least, ha.
What else are you guys known for, really, apart from things related to orange-brown leaves, snow, fur pelts, timber and bears, lol..? Prior to Captain Brownface, at least…
Exceptional politeness? Obsessive multiculturalism? The Barenaked Ladies? Lesbian pop singers (I choose to include Justin Bieber in that category, honestly)? Jim Carrey..?
I'm impressed you know The Barenaked Ladies are Canadian.
Their Canadian claim to fame was that before they were discovered, they used to play songs at "Speaker's Corner", which was a public access video booth in the late 80s/early 90s on a street corner in Toronto where you could pay 5 bucks and make a YouTube style vid that you would hope would go viral and get played on the MuchMusic cable channel, which was Canadian MTV.
It's not even that niggers are so overrepresented and whites are always the stupid or evil ones, it's that you can't watch one fucking thing without some 'lesson'. Ohhhh, this is a story about wahcism and another story about nigger history. I thought I was watching a movie just for fun
I promise leftist faggots I've heard about every nigger inventor, I've heard of all the nigger criminals reimagined as black leaders, I know everything there is to know about slavery, the underground railroad and the uncivil rights movement. Just let me watch what I choose after a long day.
If I were black I think I’d go nuts. To me it seems like Hollywood is currently incapable of making movies with black actors without making it some sort of lesson about racism. (with a few exceptions)
I did a research assignment on academy award winners through all of history and found out basically that they are over represented astronomically. Asians too.
Sadly I was still kind of a libtard at the time and self censored my conclusion to be like “They win less over all and das rayciss” but in my heart at the time I knew what I know now.
I’ll have to find my report and post it some day, I literally went through every single race/ethnicity of every single winner/nominee from the first until I think 2014 or 2015 whenever I did it.
I'll take this opportunity to crowdsource a question I have--what are people's favorite / based movies or TV shows that are actually worth watching?
I've been watching lots of older movies, mostly pre-2000, and really enjoying them. I even started watching the OG Star Trek with Shatner and Nimoy. There's just nothing worth watching made in the last decade.
Victorian Farm, Secrets of the Castle, Monastery Tudor Farm, Edwardian Farm.
All highlight early white technology that still puts other nations to shame.
Casablanca and the Connery + Lazenby + first Dalton Bonds are a pretty good bet, honestly…
Black Narcissus. A Matter of Life and Death. Both British, so be a bit open minded…
And fuck, there’s a tone of good Euro-cinema out there. If you can deal/put up with subtitles. Plus good Mexican, South American and of course Japanese shit. Plus a few good Bruce Lee and (less so) Jackie Chan movies… The older ones, that is, at least, for Chan…
TV-wise, the original Mission Impossible series is alright, but The Avengers (not Marvel. It PREDATES Marvel, is completely unrelated, and is spies, rather than capeshit), which is British, is way, way better…
Oh and My Favorite Martian, if you’re looking for some early-60s (decent) comedy fluff…
There’s a list of stuff I’ve been watching lately (mostly the old stuff), to start you off, at least! 🙂
But really most things prior to, say, 2008-2009, you should be relatively better off…
Even Craig’s Casino Royale was at least… Decent. Haven’t really liked ANY of the ones since, though, to be honest… Skyfall is passable, I suppose, but fuck the other three, lol… And Brosnan’s Bond hasn’t aged as well as I might have hoped, honestly… 😑
Oh also, Run Lola Run, if you’re looking for something… Weirder/experimental-ly, but still good…
German, with subtitles, though…
I’ll watch the (free, thank fuck) SBS World Movies channel here, again, a bit more, while I convalesce, and see what else I can find/come up with that you and others here might enjoy. 🙂
Source Code is more confronting. The Adjustment Bureau is more… Sci-Fi adventure. Like Vanilla Sky (or, arguably, Donnie Darko to an extent) but way less depressing.
Would recommend either of those very much, if you haven’t seen/heard of either of them yet!!
Check out the H.B Halicki films and Chuck Norris stuff from the 1980s if you want some good masculine media to consume.
Also, if you haven't already, definitely check out the trilogy of Italian cop-thrillers from Marino Girolami, the final entry in the series is A Special Kind of Cop in Action. Has some really awesome chase sequences and shootouts, much better than anything you'll find being produced from today's studios (a lot of it having to do with the fact that they weren't sticklers for insurance back then, and got away with some pretty gnarly stuff).
I haven't had a netflix subscription since they started promoting soft core kiddie porn. AppleTV has nothing I've ever wanted to even do a freebie trial subscription to watch.
If you're sending these heathens money you're part of the problem.
I never had an issue with "black actors." Heck some of my fave actors over the years have been black.
it is that, they are clearly stuffing this down our throat in a "hey you must be racist well take this!" way in a way that also ruins the verisimilitude due to demographics.
I recall once I saw this shakespeare play I had never seen. One of the histories. I get if it is some small production and you get what you can get, but when the king of england's brother comes out and is black, it actually really confused me and made me lose track of the play because I legit thought this was some sort of affair subplot that was going to happen. It was honestly confusing when you had these two blood related people in ol' england completely different races like that. Not that it can't happen, but it legit stood out so much it took you out of the play because I truly thought it must be some subplot.
It is like the "mixed race" couples in EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' COMMERCIAL. I legit have never had a problem with mixed race couples, have had mixed race couple friends, and it never came to my mind as a "thing" to be annoyed with or whatever.... But they are lecturing to me is what they are doing. Trying to teach me how hateful and bigoted I am so let's make literally every commercial have a family of 17 different races where literally none are adopted and all are blood.
Honestly it is creating a backlash. Instead of seeing a black actor in a movie and just enjoying the movie not thinking"about him being black" I almost auto backlash against it now cause I just assume it is a woke movie and [seriously these movies are so racist 99% of the time too] where every single villain is some evil white guy. I have no problem with that either, some of the best villains out there are white guys just as there great villains of all sorts.... but it is so predictable and rote and their villains have no depth because they don't have a real grasp on reality to write a good villain. They are just generic rich Trump stand in white billionares.
It's not even just that I know this is about genocide, but that it's so very, very unrealistic. This is not a very intelligent or honorable race, yet they keep casting them as brilliant scientists and and the hero who dies sacrificing themselves. It messes with the suspension of disbelief required in a lot of movies and TV shows.
I'm black and I'm am sick of over representation/diversity for the sake of it. When I first started hearing this push for diversity, I thought they meant hiring the best person available, but it is clear that it means less or no white people. I live in a majority white country, so there is no reason to whine if I see white people in entertainment. That should be pretty clear cut.
Also, another problem is that it has reached a point where I am hesitant to watch anything with a female, black, or hispanic cast made in the last few years because most likely it will be yet another feminist lecture, lecture about race, or an immigration lecture where there is only one point of view.
Add in the fact that they constantly push these movies or tv shows and we are supposed to love every lazy reboot.
One of the reasons I pretty much don't watch or read anything past 2014.
Honestly I think a female or minority author/director who cared about writing good stories would have a very hard time in Hollywood if they didn't push the usual left wing talking points.
Look how Jordan Peele, Ava Duvernay, etc. are treated as if they are Hitchcock on steroids.
The real white privilege is not being pandered to at all times lol
Ha! Good point

I'm even more on the fact, if the movie or series they are making comes from somewhere else, like a book, comic, game or something, they should cast the character that best represents it. But they prefer to grab something, race and gender swap instead of creating something with the characters already created that represents the people they want.
Heck, why can't they use the example of Spartan? They needed diversity on Arrow. So they created a very good character that didn't exist in the comic. He grew up as a character, had flaws, battled against it, and more. And he quickly became my favorite character. I know, CW of all things. But I guess their creativity went all on the creation of Spartan, and now they are a mess! heh!
Instead of BATWAHMXN, they could have made SPARTAN tv show... But nah!
Exactly. Race/gender swaps are so lazy. Also there are characters in comic books that aren’t used. And a main annoyance I think is the constant push that we have to love it.
Race and gender swaps aren’t lazy. They are malicious. They are deliberate subversion. They are an attack.
Well I can’t disagree but there is some laziness. Take the upcoming Wheel of Time show. In that larger world there are people of other races, however they are being lazy too by race swapping the main characters. The main subversion is stating the main character is someone who it is not.
Eric July had a video on how much this irritates him, especially when they race swap a popular white comic book character while ignoring dozens of existing black characters who sit on the shelf and never get a shot.
Absolutely. I’m a big fan of his. Discovered him through geeks and gamers and nerdrotic. It’s also funny how with every race and gender swap they pay themselves on the back like it’s some major accomplishment
I loved Diggle too. It really comes down to good actors and good writing. Granted CW stuff’s cheesy, but it’s cheesy in an enjoyable way. Plenty of great black actors in things, like Idris Elba and Denzel’s son. I haven’t seen their full catalog or anything, but I can’t recall either of them being in anything that was about them being black.
I don’t watch much of anything, but if movies or shows look like they’re about the race or genders or sexual preferences of the characters, it’s a good filtering mechanism to know it’s going to suck. In part because with the current SJW belief system, they can’t give characters any flaws or be critical of their culture in the process, which would be the fucking point of a narrative work.
We don’t exactly need more things about gay people, but as an example, if they made something about gay people that hated the current alphabet movement and they called each other fags and joked around about things, went into being gay maybe not at all defining them, questioning whether or not they would want to marry a woman to have kids because maybe they still wanted that despite loving cock, or went into how many if not most gay people have some fucked up childhood experiences that amount to molestation or rape, it would at least be interesting. Maybe go into how some people probably aren’t gay but just want attention. All kinds of things that could be interesting if well written that would be about gay people. But they never do that and can’t because it’d present gay people as flawed. They always present gay people as these super human Gary Sue’s that just want to suck dick in peace but everyone’s giving them shit about it. In real life nobody gives a fuck. It’s not enough to make for the basis of being a character in a story.
Any narrative work that presents all characters as flawless isn’t a narrative work in any deep sense.
Absolutely correct! Make the character grow! It is fine for the character to be good at something. But at EVERYTHING?!
Fuck the maREY Sues!
Totally understand
More of the actors from this apple faggotry: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/3c5e5889-1933-48f7-8c28-51fe5cd9bcfe/scale-to-width-down/1200
These streaming networks allow the oligarchs to really shift up the propaganda. A show no longer needs to have a certain level of viewers as long as service as a whole maintains a certain number of subscribers. So a show that would traditionally tank in rankings on cable now can be run in the name of "stakeholder capitalism" (goy programming and education).
Anyone who pays for these services is a huge part of the problem. It's a shameful thing.
Don’t forget the Black Man-White Woman couples too, as if they’re the only couples that exist.
Only adding fuel to the fire of the argument that "white supremacists" claim white people are being bred out of existence but at the same time I've heard "black supremacists" claim that it's a plot to breed black people out of existence. The globalist powers certainly want all the commoners blended into some generic ambiguous brown, you also see it in some Sci-Fi settings like Subnautica where nearly every picture or in-game model of a human is some sort of mulatto.
Like that one episode of Southpark,
You'll never guess what the one race that gets to be pure is.
In Australia, it’s 2% of the population (yes, TWO. At most. Self-identified, that is…), and about 60% representation…
Imagine if your Injuns played up, and demanded they be “the most represented group in pop culture, as the original custodians”)…
That’s what it’s like here, no word of a lie…
And it’s going to fucking break this place in two. Just like HAmerica and MapleSyrupStan… 😑
Oh, and Kiwiland, of course… But they’re so far off the deep end, under Psycho Cindy and her face tattoo clan (again, I am not making this up), that I barely even count them as a real country anymore, tbh, lol…
If we’re going to make things about race, natives usually end up better off overall for white people having shown up. In North America, there were some tribes that were chill, but most seemingly were not, and they just roamed around living in harsh conditions and dying. Now they live in the most prosperous nation on the planet and get free college and generally free anything.
If we’re going to talk about contributions to the world, have native populations from America or Australia really done anything of lasting value? I mean really, like anything at all. You go back to Greece and Rome and shit there still shapes the world, and they had beautiful architecture and made democracy and the rule of law. The fuck did natives do around those times? Shit in the woods?
It really is a matter of the tribe. I know here in my state, we have 2 very distinct, but very different interactions with Indians (And I will call them that, because every one I have spoken to referred to themselves as "Indian Peoples").
The First Wave, when the eastern half of the state was founded, was fairly tame. This was groups like the Iowa, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox, Osage, and Kanza. They werent "peaceful" like the whole "Nobel Savage" stereotype the Left likes, but they were generally more willing to engage with settlers. And even to this day, most of these tribes take an attitude of "The scars of the past can not be healed. All we can do is move forward, this time as brothers rather than enemies."
The Second Wave, when the western half of the state was founded? That was groups like the Cheyenne, Apache, Comanche, and Arapaho. And they committed absolute terror on the prairie against anyone and everyone. That part of the state still bares the scars of their attacks, that part of the state still has lots of (arguably deserved) prejudice against Indians. Incidentally, those tribes are also usually the most "White Man back to Europe! REEEEE!" tribes.
That’s another reason I never liked the idea of calling them Native Americans. If you were really being respectful you’d talk about them by their tribe name because half the tribes hate all the rest anyone and they’re not the same. May as well call all Asian people Orientals instead of Korean and Japanese and Chinese and Thai. If you’re actually being respectful you’d refer to them by what they are, not a made up name to make it easier to lump them into a voter block.
The "noble savage" thing also annoys me because it acts like if not for that dastardly white man these other people would be ruling the world instead. Umm we weren't the only ones with way more technological progress in less time, the arabs had quite the head start on the europeans and didn't have the setback of the bubonic plague but they did ruin themselves with Islam and then the Chinese might have fared better in the colonial period if not for the habit of killing off all the scholars every time a new emperor came into power. Meanwhile most of these "aboriginals" hadn't even invented the damn wheel of all things and who says they really would have progressed that much if left completely isolated for another few centuries?
Wait, are we in Canada "MapleSyrupStan" ? I think I like it 👌
I'm too thick though to get the "HAmerica" meme.
Is it "HA" as in "Haha", the US is a joke?
Ham. As in fat
You stupid leafs, I swear
Shouldn't it be " HAMerica " then?
This meme needs more workshopping, me thinks.
Dude, I’m literally dying, and I’ve had like 7 hours sleep total in 3 days…
Doin’ my best here, orright??! 😂
And I do jest, but I’m not actually joking, in this case…
I quite literally don’t think I’ve ever felt more sick in my life. 😑
I don’t recommend high dose immuno-suppressing drugs, if you can avoid, I’ll say that much…
It’s been a wild, wild 5 or so days…
That sucks.
I forgot mania and insomnia were other not-so-fun steroid effects.
Honestly, not being able to breathe properly is the worst bit, I think, so far…
That and the insomnia, yes.
But cheers, ha. I’m doing my best to cope, lololol…
I really, really want to avoid more invasive shit…
Spinal tap (I wish it was the band/mockumentary, but sadly not), yesterday gave me a new appreciation of just how fucked pregnancy must be, if THAT’s how bad an epidural, sort of, on its own, is…
Like Jesus Christ, how does ANYONE get used to that??! 😳
And that’s WITHOUT the labor and contractions, of course…
I can see why maternity leave is a thing, lol…
Jesus dude, sorry to hijack this (again), but any tips, seeing as you do seem to know a bit about this stuff..?
Steroids have literally made me feel like I’m dying, and I literally can’t even muster the energy to reply to people here, lol…
I guess I should just (try to) rest and take it easy, hey? 😐
Can’t work. Can’t read properly. Doesn’t seem like I can do much else, at least for another couple of days…
Oh, except get the Coof shot, of course. The fuckers STILL want me to do that, this week, even while I’m already a fucking human pincushion, lol… 😑
I know your land of trees is even worse right now, but holy FUCK I hate “my” country, at this point, especially right now… 🤬
I mean, I was going for what the other guy suggested, honestly, but that works, too… Because it is. I almost like your suggestion better now, in fact, lol…
But yeah, HAm. Like Hamburger. My version of Burgerstan, which I’ve heard more commonly before, basically, lol…
Though… What does that make Aus, then? Vegemitestan?! 😂 Snag-in-bread-Stan? Meat-pie-and-kangaroo-land..?
Shit, you guys will have to come up with one. I’m too biased (Vegemite for me, dawg), lol.
Glad you like Maple-Syrup-Stan! I thought it was more creative than Canuckistan, at least, ha.
What else are you guys known for, really, apart from things related to orange-brown leaves, snow, fur pelts, timber and bears, lol..? Prior to Captain Brownface, at least…
Exceptional politeness? Obsessive multiculturalism? The Barenaked Ladies? Lesbian pop singers (I choose to include Justin Bieber in that category, honestly)? Jim Carrey..?
I’m struggling, here! Ahaha.
Hockey. Saying sorry. Mounties. Shitty universal healthcare. Lumberjacks. Beavers. Moose. Loons. All Dressed Chips. Coffee Crisp chocolate bars. Poutine.
I'm impressed you know The Barenaked Ladies are Canadian.
Their Canadian claim to fame was that before they were discovered, they used to play songs at "Speaker's Corner", which was a public access video booth in the late 80s/early 90s on a street corner in Toronto where you could pay 5 bucks and make a YouTube style vid that you would hope would go viral and get played on the MuchMusic cable channel, which was Canadian MTV.
It's not even that niggers are so overrepresented and whites are always the stupid or evil ones, it's that you can't watch one fucking thing without some 'lesson'. Ohhhh, this is a story about wahcism and another story about nigger history. I thought I was watching a movie just for fun
I promise leftist faggots I've heard about every nigger inventor, I've heard of all the nigger criminals reimagined as black leaders, I know everything there is to know about slavery, the underground railroad and the uncivil rights movement. Just let me watch what I choose after a long day.
If I were black I think I’d go nuts. To me it seems like Hollywood is currently incapable of making movies with black actors without making it some sort of lesson about racism. (with a few exceptions)
Platforms like Youtube are starting to make them unskippable too.
I did a research assignment on academy award winners through all of history and found out basically that they are over represented astronomically. Asians too.
Sadly I was still kind of a libtard at the time and self censored my conclusion to be like “They win less over all and das rayciss” but in my heart at the time I knew what I know now.
I’ll have to find my report and post it some day, I literally went through every single race/ethnicity of every single winner/nominee from the first until I think 2014 or 2015 whenever I did it.
I'll take this opportunity to crowdsource a question I have--what are people's favorite / based movies or TV shows that are actually worth watching?
I've been watching lots of older movies, mostly pre-2000, and really enjoying them. I even started watching the OG Star Trek with Shatner and Nimoy. There's just nothing worth watching made in the last decade.
Victorian Farm, Secrets of the Castle, Monastery Tudor Farm, Edwardian Farm. All highlight early white technology that still puts other nations to shame.
Good stuff, I'll check it out!
Casablanca and the Connery + Lazenby + first Dalton Bonds are a pretty good bet, honestly…
Black Narcissus. A Matter of Life and Death. Both British, so be a bit open minded…
And fuck, there’s a tone of good Euro-cinema out there. If you can deal/put up with subtitles. Plus good Mexican, South American and of course Japanese shit. Plus a few good Bruce Lee and (less so) Jackie Chan movies… The older ones, that is, at least, for Chan…
TV-wise, the original Mission Impossible series is alright, but The Avengers (not Marvel. It PREDATES Marvel, is completely unrelated, and is spies, rather than capeshit), which is British, is way, way better…
Oh and My Favorite Martian, if you’re looking for some early-60s (decent) comedy fluff…
There’s a list of stuff I’ve been watching lately (mostly the old stuff), to start you off, at least! 🙂
But really most things prior to, say, 2008-2009, you should be relatively better off…
Even Craig’s Casino Royale was at least… Decent. Haven’t really liked ANY of the ones since, though, to be honest… Skyfall is passable, I suppose, but fuck the other three, lol… And Brosnan’s Bond hasn’t aged as well as I might have hoped, honestly… 😑
Oh also, Run Lola Run, if you’re looking for something… Weirder/experimental-ly, but still good…
German, with subtitles, though…
I’ll watch the (free, thank fuck) SBS World Movies channel here, again, a bit more, while I convalesce, and see what else I can find/come up with that you and others here might enjoy. 🙂
Two more: The Adjustment Bureau and Source Code.
Both American. Both mid-2000s. Both excellent.
Source Code is more confronting. The Adjustment Bureau is more… Sci-Fi adventure. Like Vanilla Sky (or, arguably, Donnie Darko to an extent) but way less depressing.
Would recommend either of those very much, if you haven’t seen/heard of either of them yet!!
Great list, thank you! I'll check some of these out. Old British Avengers sounds really interesting.
Check out the H.B Halicki films and Chuck Norris stuff from the 1980s if you want some good masculine media to consume.
Also, if you haven't already, definitely check out the trilogy of Italian cop-thrillers from Marino Girolami, the final entry in the series is A Special Kind of Cop in Action. Has some really awesome chase sequences and shootouts, much better than anything you'll find being produced from today's studios (a lot of it having to do with the fact that they weren't sticklers for insurance back then, and got away with some pretty gnarly stuff).
The Italian cop thrillers sound awesome! I'll check those out.
I haven't had a netflix subscription since they started promoting soft core kiddie porn. AppleTV has nothing I've ever wanted to even do a freebie trial subscription to watch.
If you're sending these heathens money you're part of the problem.
Nuck niggers nsheit
I never had an issue with "black actors." Heck some of my fave actors over the years have been black.
it is that, they are clearly stuffing this down our throat in a "hey you must be racist well take this!" way in a way that also ruins the verisimilitude due to demographics.
I recall once I saw this shakespeare play I had never seen. One of the histories. I get if it is some small production and you get what you can get, but when the king of england's brother comes out and is black, it actually really confused me and made me lose track of the play because I legit thought this was some sort of affair subplot that was going to happen. It was honestly confusing when you had these two blood related people in ol' england completely different races like that. Not that it can't happen, but it legit stood out so much it took you out of the play because I truly thought it must be some subplot.
It is like the "mixed race" couples in EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' COMMERCIAL. I legit have never had a problem with mixed race couples, have had mixed race couple friends, and it never came to my mind as a "thing" to be annoyed with or whatever.... But they are lecturing to me is what they are doing. Trying to teach me how hateful and bigoted I am so let's make literally every commercial have a family of 17 different races where literally none are adopted and all are blood.
Honestly it is creating a backlash. Instead of seeing a black actor in a movie and just enjoying the movie not thinking"about him being black" I almost auto backlash against it now cause I just assume it is a woke movie and [seriously these movies are so racist 99% of the time too] where every single villain is some evil white guy. I have no problem with that either, some of the best villains out there are white guys just as there great villains of all sorts.... but it is so predictable and rote and their villains have no depth because they don't have a real grasp on reality to write a good villain. They are just generic rich Trump stand in white billionares.
If his beard was shorter and was shammin’ in the supply room, that’d at least be an accurate depiction of a black person in the military.
It's not even just that I know this is about genocide, but that it's so very, very unrealistic. This is not a very intelligent or honorable race, yet they keep casting them as brilliant scientists and and the hero who dies sacrificing themselves. It messes with the suspension of disbelief required in a lot of movies and TV shows.
Why are you fine with that you very stupid fucking idiot?
