where you can clearly see Floyd going "I can't breathhhh" before anyone even touched him and still in the car
If this was allowed to be seen by the public, it would reveal that (shock, gasp!) blacks will lie about police brutality like a little brother crying in pain before you hit him after he does something wrong. And that undermines basically all black activism.
Its like women and their refusal to even comprehend the notion that a girl could lie about rape. It would destroy so much of their worldview, and the gains of their politics that its easier to literally deny reality itself across society than try to solve the conundrum it brings.
Just rambling with what I remember off the top of my head.
Steve Danuser was the head narrative writer from I think BFA until DF, after being just another cog during Legion.
His first act of business was to take Nathanos Blightcaller (a major world boss in Vanilla who was killed off, faked his death but was otherwise a forgotten hunter trainer NPC afterwards), give him a brand new body in a shortstory (that looks suspiciously similar to Danuser himself except not bald or fat) in which Sylvanas specifically picks him to use her personal Valkyr (the things that give her so much power and make her unkillable) to give him superpowers and lead her army.
This leads into BFA, where he is basically the mission control in charge of every single quest and thing the Horde does. And spends the entire time acting as evil and edgy as possible, making sure there is zero question that the Horde is not the victim (though they still claim it) but the aggressor. Its one of the worst expansions ever, and the writing is the biggest part of it, that's just scratching the surface. They had to kill off Azshara and the last Old God they had in the final raid just to keep it afloat.
Between this and burning off KulTiras and the last Troll empire, they used up the literal last of the legacy lore characters and storylines and had to make original stuff to keep going.
All in service of Sylvanas, who is now narratively the most important character in the universe because she has been working for The Jailer this entire time, the guy who is the real bad guy of the story because he was behind every single plan ever, from Sargeras to the Lich King. And she was his stooge helping him towards his goal of erasing existence so he could rewrite it his way, except she was actually a slave so you need to just forgive her because she was the victim too!! And so she gets away with everything.
And like the other comment said, you could not bring up how the entire time Danuser, the head writer, was posting thirst and simp comments about Sylvanas during these years on his public twitter. It was all just coincidence.
He was forced out last November. We know it was forced because literally no one announced or noticed until February, when a random journalist reached out to him. And he was under clear NDA because he just said "nothing noteworthy to comment." So he was so awful even Blizzard themselves scrubbed him out, and they had to drag Metzen out of retirement to try and salvage things.
Affluent white teen boys are basically the biggest source of wiggerdom, and always have been. It was the case back at its peak and its still the case now.
Boys with no real struggle in life will adopt one, and many of them want the thug life nonsense they hear in their music.
I don't have a primary source on why, which is why I didn't specify one. People have said the water one forever but I think that's only part of the case, with things like the chemicals in the food and environmental pressures also likely helping it along.
And tbh, I don't think anyone is going to really talk about it much because being the guy talking about 9 year old girls having boobs and a sexual appetite is an extremely bad look even if its correct and you are treating it like a major problem to prevent/solve.
It was entirely a case of "everyone knows its happening, but only bad thinkers bring it up so anyone talking about it is treated as evil."
Like, he literally tweeted that the new Nathanos body was "looking into a dark mirror" which was the literal title of the short story that brought him back. There was zero lacking of context or misunderstanding of what he was doing.
Well considering its not just Twitch but also Steam being called in about it, its probably a good thing its all nonsense because its clearly being used as a front to clamp down on speech and gaming (as always) by not letting a good tragedy go to waste.
Like, of the 4 called, that one stands out as a strange outlier that makes it incredibly obvious what the actual plan is combined with a bunch of other politicians oddly calling out gaming over the last week.
Blizzard kept the head writer on staff that literally self inserted himself into a long dead lore character so he could write that guy as the Commander and Largest Simp Possible for his girlboss waifu, who he wrote into being the most important character in the universe for multiple expansions.
That's the kind of unrestrained they consider acceptable, so their staff is probably very unused to having to actually not do whatever they want on impulse.
The average age of puberty has been dropping in each generation, to a point where its a real issue that nobody is talking about despite it massively effecting basically every area of society. Girls seem to be much more effected by whatever the cause is than boys but boys are also still dropping slowly. Like, the normal range starts at 8 and 9 for girls and boys respectively.
Its why "teen boys" (black) are basically adult males in terms of destructive potential. Its why sexualization of minor girls keeps growing, because they are post pubescently "developed" for a long time while still underaged legally. And probably a dozen other problems you can think of.
Of all people with every single right to screech about Jews, I think the guys in Gaza qualify.
No matter what your feelings about the nonsense over there is, your neighbor who you are constantly involved in violence with is 100% justifiable to scream about.
So if someone here is one of them, more power to him. I won't agree with him on most things, but I at least understand it.
This is all Roblox fault, for what its worth.
Literally within 24 hours it was filled with Kirk murder sim games and just games containing the video outright, which within mere hours of that was front page of every news program for a bit. All of this totally organic of course, nothing suspicious about it.
This was the set up for these talking point, the game that was already the devil in numerous lawsuits about how evil it was because of how unmoderated and uncontrolled it was. And then it allows this too? Clearly we need to control video games entirely!
A game that was so inept in its attempts to moralize that it made the KKK look relatable, with the Nazis berating them for not using proper language and pronunciation in a manner closer to a Wokie than anyone on the Right.
Its a great example of trying to make a point so ignorantly that you come across as satire of your own side, and justify your opponents heavily by being so retarded.
the other mainline Nintendo games felt like $20 bargain games sold at full price
Its hilarious to me that Nintendo thinks so highly of themselves they refuse to ever price cut their games, and in the case of re-releases will raise the price for no notable reason.
Like, I'd probably have triple the Switch games I do as a lot of their games are marginally interesting looking and I'd probably enjoy them. But I'm not spending 60$ on a 5 year old game that I'm only kind of wanting. And in that, they've probably lost absurd potential sales and support.
They live off the idea that their games are "must haves" and everyone will rush to buy them instantly, and in many cases that seems to work. But that tower can only last so long if they keep raising prices to offset inflation for themselves, while the rest of us stay the same.
The Giving Pledge
Man I sure do wonder what that is, hopefully Wikipedia can enlighten me!
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was removed from the list in December 2022 following his arrest
Guess all you need to do to get out of giving away billions of dollars is commit a few crimes (that they don't like, we know all the Right Thinkers on this list would never get arrested). I wonder why his money suddenly couldn't help a single person anymore, do dollars know when they are coming from a bad person and stop working?
The Giving Pledge was cited as inspiration for the Jewish Future Pledge, a charitable campaign launched in 2020 to encourage American Jews to give at least half of their charitable giving to Jewish- or Israel-related causes.
Oh lord, this is just a goldmine for people to reach in to.
What would it actually change if Musk was? He already has almost infinite money in practical terms. Is that the crossover point where he levels up and can now buy entire nations? Where he prestiges into divinity and people will enslave themselves to be in his presence?
They treat him like he is the only uber rich guy involved in politics, when the only difference is he is too autistic to be subtle about it. Which means we actually know what he is usually up to and can bully him into exploding about it.
The other ultra billionaires can't even be named without people accusing you of antisemitism, conspiracy theories, or people treating them like Gods (see the glazing of Gates in this very article).
Plenty of dumb kids buy into the feel-good motte platitudes of leftism without understanding the reality
Of course, a dumb kid also hasn't been around long enough to really build up any "guilt" through supporting it. They've barely voted, they have not had much time to infect anything outside their social circle of other dumb kids, and can be forgiven for naivety given they haven't had the time to see fruits from their own labors.
Someone who has had the time to actively observe the world and their effects upon it doesn't have that excuse.
The Jontron debate is probably the best example of how he succeeds at it.
Because Jon was right in all ways, but wasn't sure enough of himself. So Tiny was able to act offended and aghast at what he was saying, and throw a bunch of barbs to knock him off his platform. So even when Jon was saying the truth, he looked nervous, untrustworthy and kept backing down on things he could have doubled down on if he had confidence in himself. And that made the entire audience be convinced he was wrong, enough that Tiny could claim victory with no one saying otherwise.
Something I'm sure Finkelstein here had, as I've not seen that one.
He's one of those people who believe that in the apocalypse they'd be king because he'd be able to talk his way to the top of the food chain easily. Likely because he spends all his days trying to manipulate mentally ill, retarded women into wierd sex shit and is able to do so there.
He forgets that in the real world he is a literal tiny man with a punchable face that most people are disgusted by, and his only salvation from the violence will be hiding in his room.
I think it's a mistake to assume that there are no people that can be salvaged.
If they haven't walked away years ago, then they don't deserve to be salvaged. They've shown what they will approve of and prop up, even if they don't directly support, and that makes them morally repugnant all the same.
You don't get to "well I didn't think about it too hard" and "oopsie" when your side's mainstream platform was child mutilation and extreme violence. Not the shit they were doing under the radar and you were convinced was something upright, that's direct things they do.
He is debate club intelligent, and treats the entire world as such. If you can talk over, dismantle, or outwit your opponent fast enough then you are just right and they are stupid and wrong.
So because his brain can move pretty quick at assembling some nonsense (high APM leftover from his SC2 days), and that gives him a leg up in any argument, he think that means he is just better than people.
Yeah, its a completely useless token gesture that exists entirely to put your name to paper on agreeing that "this thing was bad/good" and refusing to sign indicates the opposite viewpoint.
It would have done literally nothing if they signed, so their refusal is full admission they support it or they are scared their own supporter base does and would condemn them for doing so.
Which is even more telling, that they know the Left is feral and dangerous and they'd rather run scared of them than sign a piece of paper.
