A parody of a woman, since he doesn’t actually think he’s a woman but merely does it for an act.

This is to be distinguished from a tranny who might look exactly like that but who you must describe as beautiful because he really does think he’s a woman.

Or at least I think that’s how it works according to the left wing.

18+ so now the left isn’t interested in this anymore.

Holy fuck, that’s a good thought. So many modern dichotomies it could be applied to.

It may not even take that long. He does not appear to be any of the super-duper favored demographics (blacks, tranny, or American Indian) so the standard for him is literally one statement or act that is out of line with SJW orthodoxy at the time of judging, to include past statements or acts either newly rediscovered or which were okay then but become not-okay later.

Internalized white supremacy made him kill these women!

No, it’s that a word clarifying that a specific woman is childish would be surplus to requirements

Good point, and I’m sure if this argument starts to take hold among their NPC army, the thought leaders will come up with a postmodern argument that “proves” all the “good” parts of southern culture are of black origin and all the stuff they hate are mere corruptions introduced by whites.

Well, that’s what idiots do, they fall for things.

Haha sure, and it just so happens that a lot of “African culture” looks suspiciously like the culture of the Scottish border regions and other areas that contributed an outsized percentage of early immigration to the South.

Also… don’t lefties generally kind of hate Southern culture? Talk about it like it’s backward, reactionary, illogical, etc.? Now they’re saying black people made that culture? My favorite thing about leftists is they don’t pay attention to themselves between one argument and the next.

We will arrive at a point where they will simultaneously believe that withholding adult-kid sex from kids is abuse but “incel” and “you can’t get laid” etc. will still be standard insults for people they disagree with, so that the total implication will be “right wingers only have bad opinions because they refuse to rape children.” It sounds extreme to me even now, but just keep going on our current trajectory and we’ll get there. SJWs need to push some “marginalized” group or another so when they get tired of trannies, who else is left? The pedo rights movement is just around the corner, all the signs are there.

Wait so are they re-embracing “woke” as a term for themselves? Because after using it as a positive for ten years or so up to 2021, they suddenly dropped it so they could pretend it was only an insult that right wingers used against them.

Haha I’ll admit it took me a second. But then I’m not in charge of writing headlines for a major mainstream outlet.

white supremacy feels even more visibly prevalent

I’m glad he phrased it this way, with “feels,” because that’s all it is, a feeling. The media plays it up beyond all reality and the lefties similarly insist that everyone who disagrees with them is part of white supremacy, it’s just an endless feedback loop between the media and the leftie activists.

Mainstreaming Juneteenth is kind of a perfect example of everything the woke do in their culture war, because it simultaneously (1) is the kind of thing they can make others feel like they have to participate in (and wokies can scream at them if they don’t) while also (2) being very fraught with the likelihood that the non-wokies will “do it wrong” or “get it wrong,” (and in that case wokies can scream at them for THAT). I don’t have a single problem with the holiday, groups can decide what’s important to them and when/how to celebrate, but I think what I just described is an obvious phenomenon that pervades every last bit of wokeness and the ways by which they seek to make cultural gains.

Add to it, what does this dopey-ass writer expect? His movement constantly demands that other people and organizations “see” them, celebrate them, just stfu and include them. Making the holiday mainstream is the kind of thing they wanted. Now they got it and they don’t want it anymore? I don’t really believe that (I think the dopey-ass writer is just executing the second technique I mentioned above) but if they don’t like, what happens if it gets taken away again? I bet then this dopey-ass writer would put out an article saying how awesome Juneteenth was when it was just him and the fam, that it became lame when they desegregated it, but that now giving it back to just the fam is like totally the worst thing ever. Can’t win with these cocksuckers, so people should just stop playing.

I didn’t really hate Crystal Skull (I didn’t think aliens and flying saucers should be a bridge too far if one is cool with avenging angels and such from the other movies) so I’ll consider Indy as the star as a quadrilogy, but the main point stands, everyone gets to decide which movies “count” in their own mind because ultimately entertainment is in the eye of the beholder. You always have the right to reject a new franchise entry as far as you care.

Of course, that's not all cases. The "Miranda" case was actually genuine.

Gideon v Wainwright, which got defendants the unqualified right to an attorney in criminal cases, is another example. Gideon was just literally some guy falsely accused of a crime who figured out how to appeal from his jail cell.

Give me Vigilante 8 or I don’t care, damnit

That was my exact thought. There IS a word for what he does, but you have to cross out the inaccurate part of the description (“forced”) and when you’ve gotten the description down to accuracy, the answer is that V-word you mentioned.

This is like watching two of your team’s division rivals play in football, and you hope for maximum injuries followed by a meteor striking the stadium. In a knock down drag out fight between Reddit admins and power mods, I’m rooting for Bane.

This has all been great conversation, and imo there’s nothing wrong with being strategic - I think it’s clear that part of why Mississippi passed its abortion restriction was so it would be challenged, work up to a now-friendly SCOTUS, and get Roe v. Wade nuked once and for all in addition to merely having that one individual state law upheld. Interested parties will figure out how to “game” any system to the extent it can be gamed. Even the very act of refusing to hold hearings on Merrick Garland was gaming the system a bit — fully within the rules but no one REALLY believes McConnell merely thought a lame duck president can’t nominate a justice, he just gamed the system. And good for him, if the other side can’t stop you, keep push until they can.

I’ve seen those “A day in the life of a Twitter employee” videos so if the now-sacked employees who wrote this code now have to actually work for a living somewhere else, that’ll be more effective punishment for them than anything Dante could dream up.

If you read up on the history of the Civil Rights movement, you can find instances where they made strategic decisions, like making sure a fairly unimpeachable character like Rosa Parks was the face of the bus battles. There was another viable plaintiff with a similar case but she happened to be a pregnant teenager and the leaders feared that if she was the public face of the argument, people would be turned off based on the values of the time.

The tranny movement though? They don’t care how many people a tranny killed, raped, whatever, they got u fam. Misgendering Audrey Hale or not letting this psycho get “affirming” non-essential care for one of his other mental illnesses (i.e. a self-destructive one rather than the outwardly destructive one that led him to kill) is worse than the underlying crime, y’all!!!

Ah, the old standard, “Elections have consequences.”

Lefties hate the idea that local governments might have a say in how their locality is governed as long as they don’t do something made illegal by a higher government.

Edit: And let’s be real, as to the particular facts of THIS local government. We (that is, everyone but the left) have been asking when the inevitable clash between Muslim values and gay values would arise. We’ve pointed out for years the disconnect between assuming Muslims were all woke Americanized inclusion-hounds and what most of the Muslim world thinks about gay shit. We TOLD them this would come up, and that it would have to be litigated eventually. The left could have got in front of this issue somehow, maybe, but it chose not to. It chose to act like every Muslim is a third-generation light-brown college girl from New York who wears a tiny headscarf to go with her rainbow fist t-shirt.

Race of victims not mentioned (even if it’s pretty clear from the names) as usual. Same thing I noticed in all the mainstream articles about an anti-gay cheer “marring the USA-Mexico soccer match” the other day. Had to get almost to the bottom of each article to get to the part where they finally conceded it was only the Mexico fans doing it.
