Also gypsies, gays, etc.
Though it always seems to depend who is talking about it as to which groups are included (such as blacks) or not...
Curious that.
Update to this is that apparently he is a “paypig”, she is a “domme”, and this was a case of “taking it too far”, lol…
But that explains the “Sara donated 5 - I know what Papi like” message from the girl she is on the phone to.
Also it’s likely that she was on coke at the time.
So… They’re both/all disgusting degenerates, but that is the extra context, at least according to Reddit...
Yuck.
Also, because she would appear to be Jewish, based off her real name…
“The Jew cries out in pain as [s]he strikes you,” but literally, lol…
Sad Cobra Starship noises…
That was… A lot. Both to watch, and to read the “context” of: https://archive.is/1sLNu
Apparently this absolute psycho was threatening the guy’s “mistress” in the call you hear, at the same time…
Yeesh.
I’m amazed that the “boyfriend” took that long to snap, tbh…
“Gender relations”, amirite? 🤦🏻♂️
Also laughs in Chinese, Korean and almost any Slavic language. But as you point out, we don’t talk about them. Or the Germans “ethnically cleansed” after it all ended.
Nah, just the Jews. Fuck everyone else, amirite?
Is that Ana de Armas’ character, or was that one in a spin-off..?
Not that I’ll bother anyway, but I do enjoy her in some things (although not as Marilyn).
Apparently she’s not on speaking terms with her fellow (Australian cameraman) kidnapping victim, either. Perhaps because she got all the gibs, and the praise and acknowledgment, and he got fuck all…
Just weird. All of this is weird, even by the standards of “(Young) Westerner kidnapped and held hostage”…
Call me a cynic, but I just don’t buy the story, including as described here: https://archive.is/LzNUR
Where the fuck did she get the money to fund her “career” in the first place? Bullshit it was from “bartending”.
And how the fuck does someone with no relevant qualifications or training get those media organizations to apparently trust her for their freelance work??
Then there’s all the undeserved awards, including an “honorary” degree, followed by “philanthropy”, where, again, where does she get the money from..??
This woman was never a real “journalist”, or a real “writer”, and yet, all this shit kept happening to her, and lining up, and falling in her lap. And her behaviour that she claims both during her “captivity” and subsequently is extremely unusual…
Not discounting that it could have happened as described, and that Somalia is a basketcase, nor that the whole experience doesn’t sound very traumatic, but it’s just… Something about all of it, her whole story, feels rather… “Off”, to me.
There was a recent movie called "Stockholm Bloodbath". About real historical events, that happened in the 1520s...
But it's Current EraTM, so they made one of the German assassins an Asian-New Zealander. And then they made one of the main female leads (girlboss movie, despite neither of these women actually existing) to be both selectively mute and a lesbian... Just so they could shove sign language in there.
It was... Bizarre. An utterly bizarre schlockfest. Yet the usual suspects loved it, lol.
Only the second time I've seen walkouts at a premiere I was at, though. The Swedes fucking hated it, even though it was a Swedish production. So that's at least something.
But man was it ever bad.
Can we go back to calling it “The Czech Republic”..?
I mean, YMMV, but I hate this (from the Government) “You will call our country this in your own language, and we demand that.”
Same with Swaziland. Same with Turkey.
I have a Czech ex, and she said at the time that the whole thing was extremely top-down and mostly unwanted by the ordinary people, so…
I think I’m going to stick to “the Czech Republic”, in English.
See also: Kiev.
I don’t like having the MSM tell me how to refer to things.
Yup. I lived in a residential cult, in Sweden, for three months last year (unintentionally, but no one intends to move into a cult), and I can confirm, 100%, that this is a tactic that they use...
Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for me, I kept leaving. I left every weekend, and every chance I got, to go out and explore the wider world, meet people, have conversations, etc. So I very quickly realized that these people were insane. And so I left.
The others there, who didn't have that same experience of "going outside", regularly, stayed, shunned me, got really, really nasty when I told them I was leaving, and then got duped into giving the cult more money...
A cult which already starves and overworks "participants", and which pulls money from donors and the government, in addition to what we ourselves paid.
It was a very eye-opening experience, I will admit.
And that particular one has been going for 16 years, plus it's not even the only one in that same town, so...
That's a more extreme example of the phenom, obviously, but yeah, this is definitely a thing, in my experience...
Yup, sure is.
And it’s interesting because, while fertility rates have declined massively since around the 70s, the cliff seems to have been jumped just after the end of the Cold War…
So something defining “modernity” happened in around 1990, across pretty much the whole developed world, that has sent us on this path…
I could speculate as to what, exactly, but it’s very noticeable that some time around then is “the point of no return”, if you will…
But of course these people wouldn’t consider anything beyond their own lifetimes “modern”, so that’s how they can say stuff like this, lol…
Something weird fried humanity’s collective brains in the 80s and 90s, and we really have never recovered from it, imho…
working their way up the corporate ladder
I would correct that to sleeping, in many cases, but otherwise yes, lol…
This is written very weirdly, for someone ranting about ChatGPT and fake information on the internet:
Gregory Bennett is a writer and filmmaker from Wellington whose accent comes from Invercargill. They hold a Masters in Creative Writing from the IIML and currently work for a disability support services provider in Melbourne, Australia
Fuck they/thembies.
Lol also, the part about the lazy ChatGPT asshole colleague is exactly how group projects at Uni go, so that’s amusing…
It’s fucking appalling how lazy people have become, with “writing”, for shit that actually counts, like that…
For academia, it’s fucking wild how controlled that space is now…
Literally the entire “student experience” is just a walled garden, and if you attempt to publish a study questioning current narratives on stuff (say… vaccines, or “gender”), best of luck getting that shit published.
The few prominent examples you see are extreme outliers, and the vast majority of those studies would never get past the ethics committees and “funding oversight committees” at the institutions I’ve been involved in…
Pushing everything online just made all of that so much worse.
I might not agree with all the points she is making, but at lest someone from that, uhh, "side", is talking about this...
Perhaps the most salient points are towards the end:
Take the UK, which is likely to face enormous demographic changes as a result of uneven fertility rates. For instance, it is becoming increasingly clear that one of the strongest predictors of fertility is religiosity: more religious people have more children, and a tendency towards religiosity is moderately heritable. Having suffered the humiliation of the atheist revolution, it seems that believers are set to have the last laugh. Which is bad news for secular feminists, among others, given the very direct conflict between their values and those of the ancient religious traditions that are set to surge.
But then here’s the thing: the future belongs to those who show up, which means that the South Koreans who hope that the whole country will “simply disappear” are likely to get their wish. The question we have yet to answer is whether it is possible in the long term to sustain the kind of affluent, urban, secular culture represented by South Korea, or whether we will always revert back to the poverty, parochialism, and rigid control of women that characterised most of human history. In other words, is it possible to be modern and fertile? So far, the answer appears to be ‘no’.
Lol. "Liberalism" and "secularism", and their consequences...
Unfortunately though, the AFL tends never to actually come out and say what was said, in these situations. They just let the rumour mill run wild. Like this seemingly much worse situation a couple of years back, where initially people thought it was something about the guy's sister having an abortion, and then it was "I hope your mother dies", and then we never found out what it actually was, but sounds like maybe it was more "mutual" sledging: https://archive.is/sUaaU
Regardless though, I think either of those options, for the above, are much worse than just calling a guy a fag or whatever, lol.
Yeah, they never do, with these types of incidents, because then people like you or I can make up our own minds and go "Meh, that's not that bad at all!"
They don't want that, so they never tell us.
But from having grown up here before "homophobic slurs" were a bannable offense, and also having spent enough time around footy players and the like, it was probably just "fag", or "faggot", or, at a stretch, "poof". I can't imagine it being anything more than one of those three, lol...
My (Australian) parents vehemently believe this, and even insist that it was "a coup". Hell, my father even seemed to believe that Ashleigh Babbitt "deserved it", for "trespassing"... We got into a pretty heated argument about that, actually...
Crazy how brainwashed NPCs get, even overseas, when they watch enough TV news...
But my parents are the most NPC of NPCs, and my Dad genuinely seems to hate America for some reason (not sure why, he just always has), so... Not really saying much
I'm pretty sure my parents hate almost anyone who they're not personally friends with though, so eh...
But yeah, "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is very real, in my family.
It's called "GayFL" by Rugby League fans for precisely this reason (and how "soft" the players are perceived as, generally), though honestly, the NRL isn't much better at this point...
"Worse" shit is said at local footy matches on a weekly basis, I assure you, from experience. But the AFL doesn't have full control of those, of course, and they're not televised, so we don't have to pretend to give a fuck, lol.
But seriously, what a bunch of faggot soft-cocks, as us fans of "bring back the biff" might say.
I mean, I can handle some horror. But these are real people, so it's a bit worse, IMHO...
Katie Stubblefield (shot her face off) is the saddest example that I think I've seen, if you really want the "trauma". I promise you, once you've seen it, you can't unsee it, lol.
But yeah, I... Don't particularly enjoy (seeing/reading) that stuff, I admit.
It's basically a "critical mass" thing. People move to the city, form "communities", then the government services move there, then the corporate headquarters move in, the financial markets form, and then the cycle continues.
It's the same with New York, LA, Sydney, Melbourne, London, Paris, Seoul. Cairo, Jakarta, Auckland, Bangkok, Mexico City, etc.
Essentially those cities reached the point of "urban critical mass" where they became "the centre of everything", and nowhere else could compete, and then it becomes "why would you live anywhere else?"
In the case of Tokyo and Mexico City (and a couple of the others), though, they've literally run out of land, and started building on the water, which, as you say, will inevitably lead to disaster in the future...
Personally I think Sapporo looks much nicer, at least in summer. But Tokyo is pretty much all many foreigners think of, when they think of Japan, unfortunately...
Nantes (traditionally Brittany) is not too bad, from experience. Same with Cherbourg and most of Normandy. Same with Lille.
They don't really move to those parts, because they are wetter, colder, and post-industrial.
While there definitely are immigrants, particularly in Nantes, it's not anywhere near on the same scale as those other places you mention...
Also I hear Strasbourg and most of Alsace-Lorraine-Moselle is still quite nice, if you can get past the whole "pan-Europeanism" thing. Good wine and food, too.

I find it especially amusing to have an upper-class British Brahmin (Patel), who is like, third-generation out of India, once again LARPing as some sort of hero of the "oppressed peoples" of that place...
He directed this shitshow, too (his "directorial debut", apparently), I'm told...
