And here we see another bit of your chronic disingenuousness. The entire discussion is about what has been happening, what is happening, and what that implies for future trends. As soon as it becomes convenient, though, only the present exists for you. It doesn’t matter that white populations have been decreasing. It doesn’t matter that anti-white sentiment has been increasing. That can’t be extrapolated into the future! Trend lines aren’t real (unless they’re advantageous for you, of course), so since whites aren’t all being exterminated now (except the attacks in South Africa, but that, too, is not “bad enough”… yet, and of course, “yet” isn’t real.) then surely whites will not ever be targeted in the future!
You completely missed the point. The point was that your historical example (the Jews did fine) doesn’t work because this time, the ability to flee to other countries where a hypothetical pogrom isn’t happening may well be nonexistent.
The point was so explicit—and you have demonstrated that you aren’t enough of a moron—that you can only be considered intentionally disingenuous for having “missed” it.
Hahaha! Jews! That’s your counter example? Putting aside all the baggage on particular group, let’s just take their own history at face value: they got driven out of country after country after country through no fault of their own until most recently they got holocausted. Luckily, many of them escaped or were living elsewhere, and they got enough sympathy and influence in other countries that they were able to build their own state, so their position is a bit more secure now even though they have lots of people that hate them still.
Is that about right? Is that something you’d agree to, as a broad strokes sort of summary?
Great! Now, imagine a much much more globalized world, where the Jews get driven out of a nation or targeted for a holocaust, but no one takes them in because the same exact ideology has taken over (or at least exerts massive pressure on) all the other countries they might also live in or flee to. Instead of it being “Spain expels the Jews” in 1492 or whatever, it’s “every country in Europe expels the Jews all at once, and actually maybe instead of making them leave they formally round them up and kill them.”
How’s that work out for the Jews?
White people as a racial construct are not going to simply die out, that's not really a thing.
As evidenced by the fact that every race and ethnicity that ever has existed still exists, because it’s not really a thing that any of them die out or anything….
To be honest, I already knew about TFYC and Quinn, but I had completely forgotten that Vivian was a result of their project. My memory of some of the lore is clearly not as good as it should be. Thanks for the reminder.
We have to deport them all to prevent a tragedy like this from occurring again!
Except that the Bible has explicit passages undoing the earlier prohibitions on such foods, while Islam has no repeal on the dog stuff. I worked with a Muslim once and there was a dog in the office that happened to be in her path. She needed me to call the dog off to the side because she couldn’t/wouldn’t touch it. Was she an extreme case? Maybe, I have no idea. But the fact remains that the lines used to call dogs unclean do exist without explicit contradiction, many Muslims do observe them, and they are codified into law in some Islamic countries. By contrast, I’m not aware of any sect of Christianity that says “no pork.” Your comparison really doesn’t work.
People trying to be the quippy cool kid and/or act condescending towards people they view as ideological enemies was an issue on Twitter long before Musk. Arguably, this irony-laden, artificially detached, everything filtered through a snappy one-liner style of commentary (“ooh, that’s not a good look,” “villain origin story,” “being an [x] is a bold choice,” etc.) is a core personality trait of the modern leftist, so in shaking the dominance of those people up a little, Musk may have, if anything, decreased the prevalence of that style of communication.
5, I think.
I think there’s potential for a comedy sketch in here where a researcher tries to pay a prostitute to answer demographic questions (ethnicity, age, etc.) but she thinks he’s trying to set up some roleplay and keeps putting on various accents and stuff.
I’m 99% certain you’re wasting your time trying to argue in good faith with a spammer troll who’s made a series of accounts to argue for the legalization of child marriage.
I don’t think this is a captured media thing. As I understand it, it’s a cultural thing where “Asian” covers the Middle East, India, and maybe parts of Southeast Asia (?) and then the term for, say, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc. that the US tends to picture when we hear “Asian” was “Oriental.” But then “Oriental” became offensive, so now they get carved out as “East Asian.”
That’s more of a vague impression from reading some UK news and literature, though. I could be incorrect.
even worse then white women.
The “white women bad” thing is a meme. White women are the second most conservative demographic, after white men. “White women” are only bad by the standard of comparison to white men, which means that they look worse than they are in a majority white society. As we see more nonwhites assume powerful roles, this will become increasingly clear to any who aren’t terminally fooled by the anti-white women meme.
Fine, here’s $3.75
I guarantee if Mr. Adkison were to go in and say “by the way, I’m going to record this meeting,” they’d go “whoa, whoa, whoa, this is a casual meeting, there’s no need for that!”
What does that mean as a genre? Like a romcom with rape, or closer to a general comedy with a character getting raped as a common punchline, or what?
The thing about good writing like on those Simpsons episodes is that catching a reference or background detail would often enhance the joke, but even if you didn’t catch everything the main bits were still strong on their own.
I don’t know enough about autism or other communication/cognitive impairment to know exactly what I’m implying he has, but yes, that is essentially what I’m saying. And not in the cool “weaponized autism” way.
Yeah, that's also a possibility, although he just doesn't strike me as very calculating. Which I guess could mean he's really, really calculating.
I think Lethn has some sort of communication impairment. Tons of conversations between him and multiple other posters follow the same pattern: he posts something stupid, gets called stupid, and then says that the stupid thing he said isn’t what he meant, while also repeating that thing, while also misreading other comments. Over and over. And the more analogies someone draws, the more they try to illustrate exactly what the thing he wrote means and what it implies, the more he will insist everyone is “sperging out” and “misinterpreting.”
It’s like he’s working with a dictionary that’s subtly different from everyone else’s, and he never seems to realize that there’s a disconnect between what he means and what he’s actually saying.
If the law doesn’t exist, that kills revenue systems for basically every content creator of any kind that doesn’t make their own site and find their own advertisers from scratch. And while I’ll agree that many content creators and several of the platforms would make me happy by failing, your idea of “legalize royalty/ad fraud” is insane, with far too many consequences. Go on, present your side of the argument: if I enter into an agreement where I tell a person “if I make a thing, you can distribute it and then we’ll split the revenue” and then I intentionally deceive them into giving me money by faking the distribution numbers, why is that okay?
But those playstation characters are, themselves, male, female, or robots, right? Each Astro Bot should presumably have its own defined gender based on the character it is based on, right? Unless it's a shapeshifter, but even then it isn't "trans," it's a genderless thing with nonhuman attributes and abilities, and/or it may have a default form that expresses as male or female.
I’m actually with you on “an archive is better than a screenshot,” but in terms of arguments the one I think you should be making is “it’s easy to look up, but what if it’s been deleted by the time I do?” Which, with a volatile topic like this, on a less-than-stable site like Twitter, from a figure facing DoJ persecution, is really something u/ger111 should be considering, and yet you come off as too lazy/reflexively abrasive to point that out.
My understanding—based entirely on comments from here, so take some grains of salt—is that she’s half Hong Konger (which is some ethnicity of Chinese, but I don’t know exactly which), half white.
Whether that makes her a chink or not is up to how you define the term, I guess.
Here, an archive.
