I think this is just all Amerifat political discourse, our people think real life works the way movies do, which is why while Trump was flopping in office they had to make up that he was doing 4D chess or hiding his power, as if things were going to turn out like a climax in a double cross heist film.

I am sick of this pseud shit infecting every corner of the internet and IRL, with Elon at the epicenter, saying things like "fascinating deduction" to basic ass Calculus equations to pretend he read and understood them.

Some chud was saying somewhere "if you do your research you'd understand Kamala taps into a Marxist tradition," and when asked for examples of this research he just linked this thread and said "here it is summarized," implying he did any independent reading about this outside of browsing that stupid thread.

I blame all the liberal arts teachers giving B grades and validation to bullshitters during class discussions for the epidemic of this shit, and also blame TV interviewers avoiding friction by never asking any basic follow up questions like "Can you name just one other thing that academics believe to be 'Luciferian'"

I have been banned from Reddit but can someone please post this to r/hiphopheads? I think the community would really enjoy this refreshing track from the other side of the aisle. Please report back with their responses.

Edit: someone posted this there already, and it turns out the rapper has changed his name to Mayor of Magaville? https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/1drhswp/mayor_of_magaville_trump_trump_baby_starring/

If Dems refuse to be contrite about any of this, and firmly deny all responsibility for the shooting and pin the incident on the Republican intraparty strife, while also just dredging these tweets up for this guy, the whole incident will blow over as a point of relevance by the general. Why? Because the conservative outrage machine only advances when it successfully gets Democrats to express remorse for or condemn a person they wave in the Dems' faces.

If the Dems and leftists firmly say "I don't give a shit, none of this involves any of us and we let you get away with spewing far more violent rhetoric," at every turn, the chuds movement does not progress the same because they have no scalps to collect and show as a mark of progress. When someone like Jack Posobiec screenshots or quote tweets stuff and goes "can you believe this person?!?" and invite brigades toward some liberal politician or journalist, they only feel accomplished once the target has backed down, deleted their account, or apologized. If none of that happens and the attacked person is steadfast, the burning rage has nowhere to go and moves on to other targets or dies.

It is insane Dems have never learned this after years of it being done to their faces by Republicans, even for things like the Pelosi hammer attack that Republicans are actually responsible FOR. The initial chud reaction to a Dem doubling down might be to make threats or try doxxing, but if you're brave enough to face it you are by that point basically taking the bumblebees stinger and dooming it to death soon after.

This is what happens when your whole party is conflict averse PMCs, they cannot conceive of facing the fire or campaigning onward like nothing's happened, because they back down at the first sight of the right's finger-wagging and bad faith condemnations. They only know how to slink away from a barking dog, and can't conceive of barking back so loudly that the other dog is cowed.

It's also why I think it was a mistake for Dems since Clinton to basically jettison any tone of gruffness or indelicacy from their party to triangulate against Trump. The older, mostly-white "based libs" like Ron Perlman who attacked Trump from a place of righteous-if-somewhat-problematic rage were the best answer to people like Trump.

The thing is when we fret about riots we always picture riots of the past when overall populations were lower, countries didn't have too many deeply interlocked financial interests, and technology was less sophisticated. In a developed country of 300 million people to keep stable with an exceptionally high tech military, any major attempts at rioting will still end up a comparative whimper that soon gets either subdued by institutional forces focused on maintaining predictable markets above all, or have their rage diverted by content made by self-interested private org grifters.

This is also partially the fault of capitalism, anti-social shut-ins who spend all day being whiny and precious about their media slop are the most dependable consumers and organic promoters in the eyes of the companies putting said slop out. So for years every press release and piece of marketing content was designed to appease these chuds, because if some weirdos somewhere take ownership of your franchise's success without you paying them anything, they are basically volunteer marketers, even though you are just feeding their unhealthy dependence on their fandom as the sole source of life purpose and community, enabling them to continue sidelining the work of unpacking the traumas that made them this way.

If anything the opposite is true, she was hired for not culturally being African American or having any common black features. She had to take one photo in a head wrap to even prove she had naturally curly hair.

Just think about how much Jonathan Greenblatt, current head of the ADL, has single handedly helped skyrocket antisemitism in the US.

He chose to lump all anti-Israel and anti-Zionism rhetoric together with genuine, oft-violent antisemitic hate crimes in the ADL's data, thereby devaluing the genuine useful tracking of hate crimes--making any real antisemitic hate crime easier to write off.

He made a deal with Elon that did not censor antisemitism on Twitter but did censor anti-Israel accounts and auto-community note anti-Israel messages, leading to a surge of hatred toward Jews and Holocaust denial on Twitter. Many outright Nazi accounts have built their followings unchecked by riding the wave of anti-Israel sentiment, which does not matter to Greenblatt nearly as much as ensuring that pro-Palestinian accounts are deboosted

He declines to use his platform to defend against the surging Groyper right, because they don't upset him as much as the Jewish Americans protesting in support of Palestine. Instead, he openly blasts American Jews as terrorist sympathizers.

Jonathan Greenblatt will be the reason that the ADL's power completely collapses one day soon. He will be the reason American Jews subject to antisemitic attacks in the future get taken less seriously.
