It turns out Galen Broaddus's personal pronoun is "they."

The others are "That's one guy" and "Not Siamese triplets."

It's criminal he's not doing videos in a fez and silk smoking jacket.

The "more people killed by X" argument is just plainly idiotic. People care about hate crimes, and nobody uses "more people killed by X" in that case. Hell, the neo-nazi in Charlottesville killed only one person but got plenty of publicity. Nobody said "more people were killed in the same day in accidental car accidents in Virginia" (even though I'm pretty sure that this is true) and if they did everybody would have called them racists or neo-nazi sympathizers.

It's plainly obvious that deliberate acts get more publicity than accidents, it's part of human nature to want to be interested in someone who's committing deliberate acts more than in accidents.

When he looks into the camera his face is perfectly circular; you could calculate pi off it. But bodyshaming aside, god bless him. If only he's not as obnoxious as he looks. (Why am I almost certain that he is?)

FFS! Weinstein and now Spacey.

Kevin Spacey has said he is seeking treatment after facing allegations of sexual misconduct from a string of men.
A representative for the actor said he "is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment".
They did not give any information about what kind of treatment he wants.

I've just been put on the naughty step by twitter. I was ordered to delete a tweet I made (on the 10th of fucking July for christ sake) in which I used the words 'Nigga' & 'Nigger' before they would restore my account.
I can now only peruse twitter and for 6 days I am not allowed to tweet, re tweet or like. :naughty:

Lucky I didn't advocate the slaughter of white heterosexual men right?

I know I'm fucking stupid and all, but what is the point of posting a personal tragedy on a fucking global bulletin board and then gasping EHRMAGERD AH DON WANNA TAWK ABOUT IT? I get the faux-reluctant-attention-whoring aspect of it, but I get lost when they actually get upset about the inevitable concerned attention and facile e-hug bullshit. I've got a sister-in-law doing this with her divorce, announcing it out to the fucking Oort cloud and then complaining about all the sudden creepy male attention.

On second thought, I get it, I just wanted to bitch. Carry on.

I think that 10 years ago I would have been very supportive of CFI and FFRF in this case. Today I feel differently. Going after a cake baker is going too far. I am much more interested in liberty these days.

And the distinction that this is a free speech topic is very compelling. I just really don't think it is worth going down this path.... and the government will not be consistent or fair in the application of this kind of power.

Would the government go after this baker if the baker told Richard Spencer they wouldn't cater his banquet? Since the left can't see the equivalence here then I say they have gone too far.

But, legally it comes down to what are defined as protected classes. Gays are somehow a protected class, but Christians are not these days. This is how things are going even though freedom of religion is written right into the Constitution.

Haha. The drama whores on Facebook always crack me up.

One of my kids friends post something like "Worst day ever. I am going home to cry!"

And then a bunch of people will post "Oh no... what happened?"

and the reply is "I don't want to talk about it."

and I am always temped to write back... "well look you idiot... you already did talk about it. Are you fucking stupid?" But... I don't do this... I just un-follow them. I have unfollowed almost everyone I know who is under 25 years old.... and I have unfollowed almost all the gay men I know.... haha.

Holy Fuck... what a simpering entitled cunt... haha.

and... she could pass as East Indian, or Hispanic, or black, or mixed. I mean... she looks like she is practically an "All American". Her accent gives her away as well... she grew up in a pampered posh suburb (like where I live... haha)

and... clearly she is not a heeb... so it is cultural appropriation for her to eat the fucking bagel she mentioned. RACIST!

But if you asked them what "Black Lives Matter" means she'd likely deny that it means "White Lives Don't Matter".

The trolling is fun, but the objective should be to get rid of all sorts of identity politics and approach problems from a less identitarian perspective. Black, white, men, women, gay, straight, trans, cis, what should matter are human rights and attempts to deal with real issues, not identities.

Quite frankly, fuck "identities". People shouldn't be valued as part of a group. They should be valued according to their personal behavior, beliefs and values, not according to a standard of "what group X should be like".

This is what the left was supposed to defend. Universality of rights and fighting against violations of rights, not trying to legislate which jokes or costumes or video games or comic books are "offensive" to one group or another. The objective should be to reduce the effects of tribalism, not celebrate divisions and identities.

"Black Lives Matter" would have been much more successful in pointing out the problems with police brutality if it hadn't been based on identitarian bullshit but instead on pointing out police brutality (which might impact blacks more than whites, but impacts everyone who has confrontations with the police).

Identity politics are poison.

I totally agree with what "should" be valued. I hate identity politics.

But, I honestly think that the only way to fix this is to have a "white pride" movement. There is no way to stop the leftist identity politics with reason or by taking the high road. Whites (especially white men) have been polite and quiet for years while everyone from the media and the government and the schools have been calling us criminals.

So, we are seeing lots of trolls and actual white racists come out of the woodwork.

At some point, once people are sick of the whole thing, American culture will make a shift. I think we are looking at this taking a good long decade or so.

And really.... I don't think the media understands how fucking pissed most white guys get when a vandal spray paints shit about racism in America on something like the Francis Scott Key monument. I am not even religious... but this shit puts me in a rage.

But no... when this spray painting happened the media spent its time wringing its hands and saying "oh dear, some minorities are upset". WTF! No you fuckers!!! I AM UPSET! Defacing public art is as near as you get to a sacrilege. Don't you fucking get it?????

When the current SJW and identitarian fire finally sizzles out, it will have reached at least one objective: all Americans will hate blacks again.

Unfortunately you may be correct. Hmmmmmmm.... I fear for the future of race relations, but even Pandora had hope left in the jar.

Identity politics are poison.
As we've seen this is true of any organization that doesn't prioritize.

Mission creep is a symptom of the entryists getting inside the apparatus. It's the inflammation.

If you want your org to succeed you need a narrow focus and you need to police your messaging to make sure it's not drifting off of the core issue.

Yup. That's why the "atheism movement" is in shambles, too. There was no specific focus after defeating the efforts of the creationists.

Tribalism is essential to the species. We need to understand the ways in which it can fail and then harness it for the greater good, just like market forces. Explicitly equating tribes with race is just about the dumbest thing anyone can do. Once upon a time I was naive enough to think everyone understood that. But there people go, screaming about their black identities, and they're absolutely flabbergasted when white people start doing the same thing.

Blame Critical Race Theory and its support for Standpoint Theory.
