Worse. Imagine that putting it online DID make him look good in the eyes of the majority that saw it. We're actually dealing with this in America. You might say the silent majority condemns it, but they condone it every moment with their apathy, whether or not it's media driven. We certainly recognize it as being an obvious sign of a stupid and evil person, but I've really had to come to terms with the fact that TONS of people will not only condone his actions, but glorify him and think he looks like a fucking angel. It's not just online either. The idiots are everywhere in the cities.
Wow, what a retard.
Fuck it let them stab one another. I don't care anymore. Let these communities rot as long as they vote for what kills them. I'm gonna move away from these lunatics and I'm already armed, so fuck it. At some point I have to say I'm only responsible for keeping myself and my family safe. If a community is utterly pathological for generations then leave them to spiral into depression and worse. You can't save a drowning person that weighs hundreds of pounds more than you, and claims that they can breath underwater and that every instance of you raising their head above water is oppression. Save yourself first, and then help your community however you can. These people are lost causes.
I think it may be worse than last year. The media needs something to keep tensions high and people tuning in to their stories. Without Trump to serve as a constant villain they'll need to drum up more racial tension to replace the political tension. All we need is an appropriate inciting incident where the optics are bad enough to sucker in most headline skimmers.
Gotta love how one side of the comments posts detailed comments with examples and data and well thought out points, and then the response from the other side is "There are just so many racists here." Did the left forget how to argue? Who am I kidding, we know accusations have replaced arguments for at least a decade.
Family response is definitely the worst black pill to swallow. It's hard to even know where to begin when they think NPR is centrist, and they've had the important details of the past 2 decades worth of news omitted from the media coverage they watch. I'm at the point where I'll just rub it in at any occasion when they don't get what they want by voting the way they do. Hey, how'd you feel about Biden seizing private property to build the wall you told me was racist? How do you feel about those concentration camps reaching double capacity? It's only when they bring up politics, but I'm not hiding those barbs. Support defunding the police? How do you feel about all the black people affected by the 400% rise in violent crime in Minneapolis? It's hard not to feel negative about everything when basically everyone who just reads the headlines becomes a moral hypocrite completely divorced from the consequences of the policies and politicians they support.
Guess I lucked out backing xbox back in the days before I got a gaming pc. Glad I never retroactively gave my money to those assholes.
I agree. It's a very strange state of affairs in the US, but it's mostly online or in blue cities, otherwise you'll be able to find plenty of Trump people.
Well if they want the race war then go ahead and bring it. 13% vs 60-76% depending on how they wanna slice it. Oh wait, except it's only the radicalized ideologues, so it's really more like 1% vs 60-76%, and we'll have plenty of blacks on our side too. I really don't see how they can possibly think that their threats of a race war intimidate anyone. Even if they had complete ethnic solidarity they'd be outnumbered 5 to 1.
It's hilarious when Destiny is in the right in a debate with someone largely on his own side, and he just can't even comprehend that Vaush would take such a horrible stance justifying similar instances like lynchings of blacks in the south in the 1800s. "Well the mob thought that the victim did something wrong! They should just take the coinflip!" Socialists and Communists literally don't understand how to have a functioning and trusting civilization. They can't even get past the moral hurdle of self-defense.
What a juicy thread. Funny how those "agent provocateurs" all seem to be locals when arrested, and they're really dark skinned for white supremacists...
The beanie slips! We all knew that he was gonna vote for Trump for a long time now, but even as he announces he feels the need to hedge just on the off-chance that Trump suddenly becomes the dictator he's been accused of being in the lead up to the election. It gets old, but for all the hedging we know where he's going to stand. He's basically saying "There's a 99% chance I'll vote Trump, but there's a 1% chance that absolutely everything could change and I'd end up voting 3rd party or abstaining."
I appreciate the condemnation, but I'd appreciate it a lot more if Polis would do something about the people ruining our downtown businesses. Ever since the "police use tear gas and non-lethal rounds against 'protestors'" he's been afraid to truly crack down on this BS. All it took was one round of fake headlines, and we've been hamstrung. These riots are predictable, and we need police protecting our businesses downtown before they get ransacked. We have so many real problems like a heroine epidemic, homeless encampments all over the city, gang violence in specific areas, etc, but Polis is too weak to crack down on it. Arrests after the fact are great, but how about stopping this nonsense in the first place? I just need to get out of here before we end up defunding the police in the wake of this bs.
This shit is a great example for why I'm now packing a Walther PPQ 9mm. This ex-progressive is now carrying because if these fucks try this shit with me, I'm gonna make sure that I'm not the one who ends up dead. Try this shit with me, stop my car, try to pull me out, and I will shoot your fucking ass. We're so far across the line now. I don't make a habit of threatening anyone, but I will promise retribution, and if you make me think my life is in peril, then please understand that I value your life infinitely less than mine. MY life matters fuckers. There can be no tolerance for this shit in any civilized society, and it's disgusting how many people are totally ignorant of these incidents, or just turn a blind eye to it because it was "just a white man".
"How come blacks committed 35X the crime rate of an Asian person?"
"Perhaps it has to do with their culture, having significantly younger demographics, higher levels of test-"
Leftist barges in
"RACISSSSSSSSSSSS!"
It's funny how we already know all of the factors that contribute to higher crime rates, but the moment that you point out that a certain demographic has a ton of those factors resulting in a higher rate of crime, then it's racist to notice those factors. Almost as if the left believes in a form of demographic determinism where an individual could never act contrary to the stats, so they can't admit that the stats are what they are, even though a majority of people of pretty much every demographic don't commit crimes, it's just some demographics are significantly over represented. It's almost as if they don't want a nuanced discussion focused on problem solving, but instead to perpetually use race and racism as a cudgel to bludgeon their ideological opponents with...
Oh yeah, I totally wouldn't care if someone threw 20k in my account. Totally wouldn't make a shitload of difference in my life if I suddenly had 20k spending money aside from my own savings. I'd be able to get all of the music gear I'd want/need, pay rent/insurance for a year, or even take time off of my jobs to pursue something else. I bet this poster talks about other people's privilege too.
Gotta love the patriots coming in there. "Are you 15? Are you a legal adult? Do you seriously have a problem with the flag of the country you're LIVING IN?" Preach on. Even if the "flag was adopted by radicals/the extreme right" then the proper response would be to put it up and reclaim it as a symbol of your own movement, not to disavow a standard act of patriotism. All it does it make it look like you and the people who agree with you are anti-American. With all of the liberal insistence that they're still patriots, you'd think they could stop setting this trap for themselves.
I'm sure there'll be a white university any moment now... Inb4 "but all universities are white universities reeeeee!" Tell me more about how horseshoe theory isn't real when leftists are pushing for various forms of segregation.
Hopefully we can get some more activity over here, and then the only thing I'll be using reddit for is a few anime subs. Without kia2 I could probably just drop those and look up chapter releases, and I won't have to use that horrible site anymore. We just need a few more posters to make the transition.
It's about time. We all know "barring anything crazy happening" is just his way of hedging and always maintaining a veneer of neutrality. I respect the attempt to be as objective as an individual reading the news can be, but we (and Adam) all know that he's going to vote Trump. What would occur between now and November that would change his mind after all of the bs the Dems have been pulling for the last 4 years? It'd have to be catastrophic in order to stack up against that.
Here's the Minneapolis Police Procedures and Policies https://archive.is/lR2os (the link function isn't working for me right now), 5-311 is where you'll find neck restraint procedures. Here is the medical examiner's autopsy report as well http://archive.is/bUYyC . Good luck getting 2nd degree murder charges pressed when the officers were following their procedures, and Floyd took a potent cocktail of drugs and overdosed resulting in a cardiopulmonary arrest.
That's what I was gonna say. Slavery is alive and well in Africa, but BLM only cares about African Americans and their alleged incredible damage from the echoes of slavery, not about actual black slaves today.
This was completely predictable. There will be an ongoing escalation until the election, and likely afterwards. We'll just have to see how far it goes, and how quickly it gets there. Like others in this thread have said, we've seen multiple videos of "protesters" shooting innocents just trying to get through "protest zones", so it's completely unsurprising that people are preemptively defending themselves having seen unprovoked shootings by "protesters". I worry about a situation happening like this around me, because I know that I don't have the patience to wait and find out if I've been attacked by an armed assailant. The moment you assault me or pull out a weapon and point it at my face, you've surrendered your right to life in my eyes. I will gladly kill you to save my own life. Gladly.
Hopefully this event red pilled this guy. If he was politically apathetic before he probably isn't now that his apartment got fucked with. I do like the schadenfreude of his prior comment coming back to bite him, but I also think that we should take whoever we can get. There's a consistent trend in intersectionality and cancel culture where most people can't understand what's going on until it affects them directly. We need every vote we can get, so try to refrain from roasting him too hard.
Especially in a society plagued by so called young vegetarian men who are voluntarily removed from the dating scene. If there's no 20-30 year old men seeking these women, then even the "above average" could just be any man with money that isn't particularly unattractive. It's a much worse version of a pick up artist stringing along a woman at the end of her fertile years here, but at the same time, I can't begrudge a guy abusing the corrupt system so that it works for him. We all have to deal with our society's pathologies.
