the various peoples of the world have a long history of ethnocide/subjugation; it is by no means a uniquely European phenomenon (the White Devil trope)


the problem for the Euro's is the hypocrisy thereby evinced when laying claim to moral cultural superiority

it is a continuing problem because this exact claim continues to be used to justify various domestic immigration and foreign military policies by the contemporary Right, who, when confronted with their hypocrisy, will not abandon their claims of moral principle but will change the subject/goalposts

If only instead of denying the rape of Nanking the Japanese came right out and said they did it and they are glad they did it, there would be no objections.

When the Japanese were raping and killing millions of people in China they were simultaneously claiming that they were trying to make a Heaven on Earth for the Chinese people, and that wasn't just PR for outsiders, but meant for internal consumption. There's nothing uniquely western about either the subjugation or the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is bad, but it's something of a dim beacon of hope that subterfuge is necessary. The masses may not ask too many questions about flimsy stories, but at least there's some desire to be decent that has to be assuaged.

And China right now does it to North Korea and Southeast Asia. Poor Bangladeshis and Pakistanis are free/low cost labor for all the wealthier areas in South Asia and the Middle East.

If we're still talking about the investor dude, the problem is not that he's wrong that genocide, subjugation and exploitation are at the root of most or maybe all of the relative wealth in the world, it's that he's happy about it.

When talking about Kaepernick's performance most people also ignore how utterly terrible the 49ers O-Line was and is. If there is a defender in your face immediately after the snap, yeah, your stats aren't going to look great. A less mobile QB would have done even worse.

Seems like a mobile QB becomes important for teams with bad O lines. Which teams have bad O Lines?

the same team that just lost their qb

GM made it pretty clear that Hundley is their man but that getting a third string QB was not out of the question.

Your typical Trump supporter (a.k.a. my mother) believes this meme to be true, assuming that she wouldn't share anything she doesn't believe it.



Deplorables are beyond hope. I mean this might one of the most obvious PS jobs I've ever seen. Who makes faces like those upon receiving a Presidential award?

Weinstein and Weiner shops are not good at all. Right side of Cosby's face has a prominent line. Clinton shop (if it is one) is good.

Weinstein one is grafted onto a guy like 100lbs smaller.

edit: Did not see your edit.

Lower left is supposed to be Tom Hanks. Upper right is Joe Biden.

As for Cosby:

You'd think they'd celebrate one fewer anchor baby, but nah.

They renamed a school after trump?

first reply was worth it.



truly amazing

While I'm not an expert on what a Russian troll account looks like on Twitter, that reply account looks pretty much exactly like what I'd expect to see in one.
- October 2017 join date
- a billion hashtags in description about hot-button issues to conservatives (2A, NFL anthem stuff)
- endless retweets of garbage conservative media

I mean I'm sure there are tons of losers that engage in this stuff and everything, but you can scroll down like 3 pages in this "mom from Mississippi"'s feed and it's still retweets from the last 24 hours, lol come on.

How is Twitter so bad at stopping their platform from becoming a garbage bot-filled wasteland?

On the same subject: Michael Flynn, James Woods, Ann Coulter among right-wing celebrities who retweeted posts from Russian @Ten_GOP account purporting to represent Tennessee Republicans

I think we bit on this account a couple times itf.
