A little more info on the financial stuff he touches on the video:
A Convicted Terrorist Sits On Board Of Charity Handling Black Lives Matter Fundraising
As Black Lives Matter donations surge, some want to know where the money goes
Thousand Currents tax returns list all their board members and indicate BLM managing director Kailee Scales is part of their organization as well
National Arm Of Black Lives Matter Spent Millions On Travel And Consultants, Financial Statements Show
Basically, BLM national is NOT a non-profit. It's a registered corporation. They have a "fiscal partnership" with the non-profit Thousand Currents so they can claim non-profit status on their taxes.
Because of the fiscal partnership, all of BLM's money goes to Thousand Currents, and is then dispersed back to BLM at TC's discretion.
ActBlue is a DNC owned payment processor that takes a cut of all money that passes through it. Most of their money goes to Biden's campaign fund. All of BLM's donations are processed by ActBlue.
Thousand Currents is an activist organization with ties to a lot of international money and has a terrorist board member that was pardoned by Bill Clinton.
There was also some stupid article posted awhile back where the journalist said she would vote for Biden even if he ate babies, because defeating Trump was just that important to her. These people are such spoiled children.
Add this too.
All of BLM's donations first goes through DNC owned payment processor "Act Blue", then goes to the non-profit "Thousand Currents", which is headed by people like convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg. Thousand Currents then disperses the money to BLM as they see fit.
Carly Fiorina ran against Trump in 2016 for the Republican nomination, and a lot of people think Nikki Haley's going to run in 2024 (this is by no means an endorsement of EITHER of them).
Like someone else said, non-liberal women don't get a lot of media screentime, and when they do they're generally treated as "gender traitors". Like the way the media treats Trump's female press secretaries (Sara Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany).
anyone on r/politics or elsewhere thinks she'd last a second against Mike Pence after her atrocious performance against Gabbard in the 2nd Democratic debate.
Harris vs Gabbard was two DNC women "of color" debating though, so people actually kinda listened to what they were saying for once and realized Harris is a huge dumbass. The second Pence opens his mouth the media will just start screeching "HE'S A WHITE MALE!!!" and it won't matter what anybody actually says.
Harris is still an appallingly bad candidate though. I'm really surprised they chose her. I was almost convinced they were going to announce Michelle Obama, with the way Spotify has been shilling her new podcast lately.
From some other articles I saw, it appears that the devs of this game saw some youtube reaction videos of people saying spiders are scary, so they created an arachnophobia mode for anyone who's too big of a pussy to play the game the normal way.
They probably sent out a press release about it and, as usual, Klepek had to make it political. SJWs are like the HOA of the gaming community. They just want more stupid rules and regulations so things fit their gentrified vision of what "looks good" - and in the process they ban all manner of creativity and choice.
This guy, maybe?
dear god, why
Next would be: "The name Jupiter is a relic of our patriarchal history, celebrating a time when powerful male deities took mortal women prisoner, subjecting them to rape and abuse. Women should be able to look into the sky at night, without being reminded of the atrocities inflicted upon their foremothers and sisters. From now on, the planet Jupiter will be known as 'Harriet Tubman'."
NASA’s Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity
Oh, FFS, not only is this a thing, but the guy is the "Associate Administrator", meaning there's multiple levels of managers in the department. What a waste of money.
I was willing to overlook some of the sillier matriarchal/diversity stuff - but listening to Ashley Burch's annoying voice nagging everyone she came in contact with got REALLY old after awhile. The main character struck me as a "modern woman" who had been dropped into the game world and thinks she's superior to it, instead of a character who behaves as if they evolved in the game world. If that makes sense. The gameplay can still be fun though if you like that type of game.
Oh, and then there was whatever the fuck this is supposed to be
Ma and Pa Kettle are pretty funny. I'm not ashamed to admit it, haha. I like some of the old Marx Brothers comedies too.
I've been watching a lot of Kurosawa and John Ford movies, Rawhide (the old western series that made Clint Eastwood famous), and original Twilight Zone (the one from the 60's with Rod Serling).
There's more than a hundred years of film entertainment. I'm doing pretty good.
Same here. I've been watching a lot of classic stuff lately and having a fucking ball.
Seems fake. BLM would never capitalize White.
That and the mention of re-education camps. The real BLM shit I've seen prefers the term "sensitivity training".
I'm not fond of the idea of any group being forced off of COLLABORATIVE platforms and we end up creating our own bubbles (Gab, Bitchute, .win sites, etc.)
I agree with you, but sometimes those bubbles are just how something new starts. Once it starts to thrive, people outside the bubble are more likely to take an interest (for better or worse).
Latino on the other hand are more diverse in term of voting patterns, maybe because a lot of them identify as white and have Spanish or Portuguese ancestry. The sad part is that the left has made Latino identity a thing, not Mexican or Chilean but one monolithic group.
This has actually been really weird to see how it's changed over the past few decades. I grew up in an area that turned majority Hispanic in the 1980's and the Hispanic community there was extremely balkanized. What country your family was from, whether you were 1st or 2nd generation, whether you were Catholic or Protestant, what type of Spanish you spoke (if any), etc. Though everyone I knew who went to college came back completely brainwashed with the current incarnation of "Latinx" identity we're seeing now.
IMO, There is one crucial question regarding politics in games : "Does the writer make the player feel bullied into the picking the writer's favorite side?".
Very good point.
You're no longer left to wonder about anything.
I've noticed this too. Subtlety is just GONE in a lot of entertainment and it makes everything feel very hamfisted and boring. Even the headlines in entertainment news tell you the "correct" way to feel before you've even read the article half of the time. Like:
"X,Y,Z happened. And that's a good thing."
or
"X,Y,Z happened. This is not ok."
It is very telling that you can't see this and instead fall back onto a tired argument of "commercial interests are killing us"
This. I commend some of the realizations she's come to, but she still seems both naive and just trying to rationalize things to herself in a lot of it. Probably because she still sees those people as part of her "tribe".
Like, she mentions that she didn't like how MSNBC was stoking division in the country, that her bosses are purposefully omitting context and facts from their reporting, and laments that our educational system doesn't seem to teach critical thinking skills anymore. She says she's heard the producers claim they're not even trying to be journalists. She also mentions that a lot of content was chosen based on what's trending online that day (trends which are proven to be heavily manipulated).
It doesn't seem to cross her mind that all those things are intentional. She thinks it's simple negligence and misguided profit chasing. Not that her bosses didn't want to report the facts, encourage critical thinking, encourage unity in the country, or deviate from the approved social media trends because they're propagandists instead of journalists.
I can, at least, agree with her though that the system should change and it would be nice if journalists actually reported real news again.
And when mentioning N.K. Jemisin...Martin turned it into an excuse to harp on the achievements of a white male author
A cardinal sin, not paying proper respects to their lord and savior N.K. Jemisin.
but I have known a few guys born into huge amounts of money and they were basically neets who spent all their time doing shit like browsing the internet and playing videogames
This is actually strangely true in my experience too. A couple of the ones I know love to whine about how busy they are and how they're always working, yet they seem to spend most of their time traveling, partying, or sitting at home watching Netflix. My old roommate, who was a journalist, of course, was like that. She was still living off her rich parents in her late 20's and her idea of working hard was doing phone interviews from the couch inbetween episodes of "Sex and the City".
Italian Hitler
Implying Italiy had anything to do with Columbus' expeditions and he wasn't sponsored by a Latino queen.
Oh wait, that can't be possible! Feminists told me women weren't allowed to have power back then.
Someone, or some group, started posting cryptic messages on 4chan a few years ago under the name "Q". It somehow spawned a huge following amongst certain groups of Trump supporters and has gained intermittent media attention. The whole thing is really strange.
Seriously.
Somehow it's ok for the liberals I know to think Russia got Trump elected - but if you point out interviews from activists saying they're trained Marxist influencers, or PROVABLE money trails to certain groups, suddenly you're Dale from 'King of the Hill'.
