According to a classmate, "during their senior year of high school, the awkward teen wrote a "manifesto" dedicated to some of the school's popular girls, decrying how their boyfriends treated them and saying he could have done better" Guess who were two 'popular girls' at his high school during his junior year?

Hmmm. Looks like it's another one of these:

Top right looks like that pugnacious tranny who thinks he's scarier than he is. He's been caught on camera more than once acting like an asshole.

BBC in pidgin is not the end of the world.

It joins these languages:
bbc.co uk/ws/languages

There are a some devs from Nigeria whose tutorials I've found quite helpful. They are clearly masterful coders and quite competent in English. Their reaction to pidgin bbc has been very positive.

It's also the name of a type of biscuit (or cookie if you prefer).

If it's not racist in that context - why should it be racist in the context of software?

I don't think it is racist in that context, but then I don't think Damore's memo was sexist or racist, and a lot of the videos Google thinks are problematic are problematic either.

It's interesting to see battle lines being drawn between the various Youtube groups / communities / whatever.

For example here is Braving Ruin's (formerly Edgy Sphinx) thoughts on the matter:




From what I can tell the Alt-Right incorporate the following concepts into their world-view(s):

Race-Realism ie that Race and IQ are real and that there is a difference in the average IQ between racial groups. Also, that the various attempts to debunk this view (especially by Youtubers - see for example Jeff Holliday) have to date been woefully inadequate and anti-scientific. They seem to be fans of Charles Murray.

Antipathy to Jewish people (if not outright Antisemitism) - they see Jewish people as disproportionate in holding positions of power - and being willing to wield it in a non-beneficial manner. (For example - Bankers, the 1% or George Soros). The JQ is discussed openly and at length (or ad nauseam).

Identarianism - for white people (but for other groups too - see Israel). Some see it as a mostly voluntary thing - ie like attracts like with freedom of association - but others I'm sure would like to have government support to form ethno-states.


I'm sure there is an actual definition and at least one manifesto floating round on the topic.

Well Becky, there goes your Patreon.
Perhaps I should mention that I suspect that the mug shots are not from Charlottesville?

See this three months old post on Reddit with said same mug shots..

True fact:
As a kid, I had the honor to meet one of the nicest people ever. He was a gay Jew that had been liberated from one of the central European death camps along with his lover/husband and they immigrated to Canada.
He had the tattoos and everything.

How did I miss Carrier's "Mighty Canada Tour" of 2017? Might be old news, but.

A "girl friend" is getting married and he is showing up for a last awkward spurt.

To fund the trip he is stopping off every day and begging presenting in pubs.

He is also exploring green fields ....
I’ll be celebrating ethical nonmonogamy all the way home. So if anyone wants to ask to be my date at any of the events below, you are welcome to message me on Facebook about it!

Going back to sanity, Eli Wallach was perfect for the role. Tuco is one of my favorite characters in all of cinema, and a lot of it is due to Wallach's acting.
I'm with you 100%. I really envy my parents, who saw Wallach in The Rose Tattoo and Camino Real on Broadway back in the 50s. (Although to be fair, I envy them even more for having seen the final preview production of Waiting for Godot with Burt Lahr, E.G. Marshall, and Alvin Epstein.)

Thx. That drone went on for over 56 minutes. Funny, since she was telling white people to shutup and listen to other less privileged people who were apparently all going to be sent to death camps by Trump. The tank thing is like at 45:40

Perhaps we will get more info from proboxing fan.
There is not much to add. I don't know a lot about La Meute except for the very basic (which even that i could get wrong): more or less got popular as a facebook group, they basically came out of nowhere. 2 years ago very few would have heard about them if they actually formally existed in the first place back then. From what ive seen its a mix of hardcore nationalist, disfranchise people who wear Harley Davison clothes, several normal people who happen to have liked 3 of their Facebook post in a row in the last couple of months, a couple mohawks and of course some unsavory people nobody want to associate with. I think when the group started, before the Facebook popularity, they were actually pretty extreme. The recent influx of regular people and some in-group cleansing (im vaguely aware of 2 peoples in the recent past who were publicly disavowed) is kinda making them harder to pigeonhole as a group right now.

Anyway, as far as i know, La Meute decided to meet up in a basement parking lot as a starting point for the protest. The counter protesters surrounded the building before they could came out; they finally decided to stay inside for their own security. Some journalists reported they peaked at 600 of them in the parking lot at one point (im not so sure but they were definitely in the hundreds).

Since the other half of the enemy were already outside, namely the police, the Black Block/antifas just started their usual shit. They're pretty well organized in Quebec, Ontario too i guess, maybe, there is an interesting overlap between each city groups. Montreal's antifa, anarchists and Black Block types are no different then everything else here, separated by an unfortunate but porous linguistic barrier. From my limited expertise, both side know each other well but the anglos are doing much better in terms of effectiveness and notoriousness (Jaggi Singh being one of the biggest name of course). The french side seems less organized, way smaller in scope and fractured in too many tiny pieces.

So to end the story, La Meute finally got out and did their protest march once the police controlled the situation. At the end of the day, this was good PR for La Meute whether they deserve it or not (i don't think they are 'clean clean' like we say in french).

Trump telling the world that India has to 'help' in the fight against Muslim extremists in Pakistan pretty much evened the odds about where the first nuclear war - both sides having nukes and using them - will be. US - North Korea, Pakistan - India. Tough betting pool.

Fantastic.

I already had Doris Lessing on my list of Authors I Really Ought To Give A Try on account of her being a successful mainstream novelist who has occasionally dabbled in science fiction and this has moved her up the list.

Those people seem to think that opposition of slavery was and has always been the default position in human history, and that anyone who was opposed to the end of slavery was just Retrograde and Supremacist (only if they were white of course). They don't understand that opposition to slavery was a gradual process that was developed through time, started at a specific point in time and was geographically limited.

England was the first modern state to completely abolish slavery of ALL people regardless of their ethnicity, religion or citizenship. The British navy and the British empire played a significant role in eradicating slave trade, both through direct and diplomatic action. Britain led the efforts to abolish slavery all over the world.

Muslim countries, for example, only abolished or limited the slave trade due to overwhelming British influence. The muslim slave trade had been massive, had enslaved both "black" and "white" people, and is still justified by many in the muslim world. Nobody clamors to take down the monuments in the muslim world which celebrate sultans and emirs who supported themselves largely through slave trading. To say nothing of the West African kingdoms which supplied slaves to the Atlantic slave trade. Nobody is focusing on those people.

A Muslim professor (a WHITE muslim professor, even) can defend muslim slavery in an American university and nobody cares. But statues of long-dead people who at their time opposed slavery must go :bjarte:

If I recall correctly during the 80's there was a plan to rename 'Cecil Rhodes House' in London to the much more acceptable 'Robert Mugabe House'

I here by nominate AFUA HIRSCH for a cuntie.
This is how the snowflake describes her time at Oxford:
I got asked a lot of annoying questions when I was a student. Some were about my hair texture (afro, kinky), libido (presumed to be supernatural) and expected ability to dance (think Beyoncé). Over time, researching the experiences of other students at Oxford, where I studied, I’ve found these interactions to be a common consequence of being black and female in an environment that is populated not just by white students but also by many who have never met a black person in the flesh before.
That's right, this totally happened. Oxford students have never met a black person before, so when they meet a mysterious creature with black skin they assume she has a supernatural libido. When did this racial clash happen? in the 1920's? No the Social Affairs editor of the Guardian is born in 1981.
Further reading: how the lack of discrimination in Norway is somehow bad. Because Sweden maybe?

I was in a room at the weekend with four 'Nazi Tigers' which I suspect is a semi dox as there is probably only one place in the world with so many.

This is a pretty good Quillette article on islam and terrorism.
Apologists claim that whatever violence Muhammad employed was legitimate self-defense. An inter-tribal revenge murder was supposed to have constituted a violation of the truce with the Meccans, justifying the conquest of Mecca. Two years earlier, the Jewish community living at the oasis of Khaibar allegedly entered into an alliance with Muhammad’s enemies, providing a pretext for the Muslims to attack them. After their defeat, the Khaibarites were made to pay fifty percent of their produce in tribute to their Muslim masters for the privilege of living on the oasis. Umar, the second caliph, nevertheless expelled them several years later on the grounds that they were causing mischief.

It would be interesting to hear the Meccan or Khaibarite side of the story. Since we don’t have their accounts, I will note on their behalf that it is a strange set of circumstances in which self-defense necessitates conquering a city, destroying religious artifacts, declaring your religion to be the only one allowed, and extracting exorbitant amounts of tribute from weaker populations. The fact that Muhammad’s immediate successors conquered huge swathes of territory does nothing to quell my suspicions that his actions may not have been defensive manoeuvers.

You might think: why should that matter? That was a long time ago! It matters because Muhammad’s life is normative for Muslims. The shahada, or Muslim profession of faith, is “There is no God but God and Muhammad is His messenger.” Muhammad is the messenger not only because it is through him that the Qur’an was revealed, but also because his life is an example. That is why tremendous efforts were invested in collecting and sorting the Hadiths, reports about Muhammad’s life, in the Sunni tradition. If Muhammad was intolerant and aggressive, then there are good grounds for saying that you, as a Muslim, should be as well.
That's the biggest problem with islam. Old Mo was a warlord, a conqueror, someone who made his followers kill his critics, a rapist and a pedophile. That was par on the course for tribal leaders of his times and I don't think he was much worse than other Arab raiders or even Christian kings and nobles.

However Mo is simply not a good role model for today's world. Most of the things he did are considered crimes and morally disgusting in a modern society. Even most modern muslims consider those things wrong...when it's NOT Mohammed doing them. Tell most muslims a story about a Chinese warlord who killed, pillaged, forced women to marry him and impose insanely high taxes on the people he conquered and the vast majority of them would agree that the Chinese warlord was vile and deserved punishment.

But when it comes to Mohammed it's all OK Because He Did It. So there are lots of justifications, rationalizations, double standards, etc. to whitewash Mohammed's unethical actions.

Until muslims learn to accept this, and move on from the letter of the texts and the justifications into a candid admission that the values of Mohammed's age are no longer valid and things have changed there can never be any sort of improvement of muslim-majority countries or muslim minority in any other countries.

Only a thorough secularization and reducing the power of islamic institutions (islamic education, islamic law, mosques, "cultural centers") can put an end to islamic violence and other issues.

I don't see that working at all. The point of the companion is to ground the doctor and point out when he's being stupid or not getting the human point. That's why the doctor can be the butt of jokes made by the companion(s). Now they've engineered a situation where an old white male has to correct a woman on what it means to be human. I don't see that going over well with the audience they're targeting with this change. The non-SJW audience will be turned off if they try to have the doctor make fun of the companion, as the power balance is just way too off there to be able to work.

Christians are the same. If you ask about the atrocities of the old testament you get a lot of talk about different times and contexts. Dispensationalists have some pretty elaborate justifications. The main point is that it's okay because God told them to do it, and by definition God is good. It's a way of abdicating all moral responsibility to this irreproachable (and conveniently unavailable for questioning) authority. It's solving ethics by passing the buck. Must be nice to be satisfied by an answer like that.
