One thing they always keep brushing under the rug is the tendency towards dishonest opportunism they repeatedly demonstrate is a defining characteristic among the “racially aware” even if the opportunity they wish to exploit only exists in their warped victim mentality perception of the world. And then play the victim regardless of the outcome.

When you reduce all information to a derogatory and inaccurate “It’s that gay disease” people aren’t going to know how it actually spreads and when they discover they’re infected they’ll deny it even to themselves in an existential crisis refusing to get treatment or else suffer a hail of slander from your stupid assumptions tearing their lives apart and doing nothing to combat the actual problem.

And if they’re relying on stupidity rather than medical expertise they might get it in their heads you “cure” HIV with prayer, bleach, snake oil, or by having sex with virgins.

Straight up “don’t trust any of the refreshments” cult talk.

Suicide is a sin. To cause the deaths of others through deliberate actions is a sin. To knowingly expose yourself to a lethal and contagious virus taking no precautions - actively circumventing them even when others try to protect themselves - is not only tantamount to suicide with no noble cause to mitigate it in any way but the disease you carry through your actions knowing you exposed yourself to you spread to others causing their deaths in turn.

You might argue that God decided if you lived or died from a gunshot wound but you aren’t going to morally excuse the person who pulled that gun on you unprovoked and pulled the trigger are you? Or perhaps the indiscriminate spreading destruction of a flamethrower setting entire buildings ablaze is a more appropriate metaphor?

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #fundie #wingnut

That you can see neither the concessions and preferential treatment you’ve already been shown nor the catastrophe that has been the direct result while the rest of the world has moved closer to normality are all the proof anyone with objective sense should need that you are the problem and appeasing your tantrums over protecting the public interest in an entirely misguided interpretation of fairness or continuing to permit your endless double standards in full defiance of the principles of the rule of law and just governance should cease immediately. You have proven that you are not a nuisance to be ignored but an outright threat to the general public regardless of your conniving adoption of a better man’s rhetoric. Your actions are not in accord with your professed intent. The consequences - when there are any for you at all while those around you suffer for the policy of appeasing you - cast your victim complex as the darkest of satires.

… Whether you’re straight up lying or simply cognitively fuzzy on what constitutes “all-black” (especially when you knew well enough to first identify the area as a black majority area) it kind of casts a shadow on your credibility for anyone who doesn’t already know about your complete and total lack of credibility in the first place. Implying that exceptions were easily made for you also somewhat undermines your objections to the idea of privilege especially if you’ve ever decried “affirmative action” or you know, exactly this kind of school situation with the races reversed.

Gang mentality from the roots up. From the shit like this fertilizing seeds they blossom into corrupt police, gangs that form because they don’t trust a society that condones corrupt police whether it’s racism or classism or simple myopia, and militias that want to crush them both under their bootheels because they see it as the purest solution despite holding the exact same “nobody’s going to look after us but us” doctrine as gangs which in turn the police hold to even seeing the general public as a threat to be managed. And in the background this twisted ass society argues not the brutality or the observance of rights and how they relate to the law but who exactly should be beating whose ass.

Ultimately the difference between gangs, police, and these psycho militias tends to wind up being sanction or funding.

Gina Peddy #crackpot

I’d make a joke about offering the opposing viewpoint to things normally considered central to American life or taken as fact like maybe what your rights actually are or making Sovereign Citizen manifestos that basically refuse to recognize any laws required reading or even putting forth the idea that America is still actually a British colony and the war of Independence wasn’t legitimate let alone won but every time I do within a month it turns out somebody with influence had that idea and took it seriously. I mean, Ohio already decided religious beliefs trump historical accuracy and if you have an honest belief space aliens wrote the American constitution or that the chemical reaction between water and sodium is caused by Satan and blessing the water first will stop it if you have true faith you’re entitled to not just keep believing that but a passing grade in class.

Oh, and how’s this for a controversial viewpoint? How about instead of Jews being the secret evil masters of the world and writers of false history working in concert with everybody not white to destroy humanity for some reason (and somehow convincing white people who all hate each other to play along) how about it’s us that are inherently the evil destructive race and we’re projecting all the evil shit we do like coming up with fake histories for tragedies? No? Rather just keep making your specific unsubstantiated allusions you know you can’t back up and try to imply in a roundabout way so you can weasel out of being called on it?

And what’s the controversial opposing view for the “anti-racism” book that apparently started this all? Slavery was to the benefit of slaves, everybody brown’s coming for our women, Native Americans have no claim to the continent and not only are we doing better with not-their-land they actually would have starved to death not knowing what corn or beans or proper hunting practices were, and the explicitly racist laws were fine as were the less subtle laws eventually revealed to have racist intentions? That’s a frighteningly less controversial opinion as the fact anti-racism is viewed as controversial will depressingly indicate.

The people convinced there’s some nebulous conspiracy to hurt everyone for no explicable reason all eventually turn out to be dangerously demented, deceitful, murderous, time bombs more harmful to everyone around them than any of their damned conspiracies and their family is usually the first to suffer despite any and all lip service they pay to such values as their defense for their insanity.

Rich, powerful families were also so inbred and rife with internal conflict it kind of stopped being funny. There was also something of an issue with not only a colossal wealth wealth gap and rampant poverty but the “solutions” to those problems being simply to make them someone else’s problem. Which did not end well.

Your Founding Father Ben Franklin explicitly states differently in his letter to James Parker concerning a plan for the Union quite pointedly based on the already long standing Six Nations. Though I'm sure you'd slam blinders on everything before and after the use of the phrase "ignorant savages" and try to avoid everything that sounded like a withering hail of sarcastic criticism of the egotistical attitude and the blind spots for fault it built into the very governance they were in the middle of rethinking entirely.

So me remembering that heart attack analogy might have seriously saved my life the other night. I came down with a nearly lethal fever (among other incredibly unpleasant symptoms) and caught myself rationalizing away the severity until it became difficult to stand. I rationalized that it wasn't COVID because in between my vaccination and adherence to safety guidelines I lacked the most characteristic breathing issues or loss of taste/smell. I rationalized that even though my fever was spiking into the dangerous 39.4 Celsius/103 Fahrenheit range it wasn't remaining at that temperature for long periods. I rationalized that I was taking medicine for the fever, that I was drinking plenty of water, that if things get more dire I had options...

But then I remembered what I said here, realized that "more dire" such as a sustained 39.4 Celsius/103 Fahrenheit fever could mean physical impairment, and thought to myself it would be absolutely posthumously humiliating and bitterly ironic for these to be almost the last words I'd ever share with friends.

I went straight to the hospital. The universe was not about to off me with sadistic comedic timing when I just realized I saw the punchline. Is this thought irrational? Of course! But I embraced it.

Turned out I wasn't nearly as hydrated as I thought I was due to losing my fluids - and frequently forgotten salts - in gross ways at an alarming rate and my condition was "bumped to the front of the line" serious. The sustained fever impairment scenario came to pass. I was a bit too delirious to count exactly how many IV bags they needed to hook into me - most for hydration but there were smaller bags that contained anti-nauseants or acetamenophen for the fever - but it seemed like a lot.

Real possibility I just cancelled an appointment with the Reaper.

So take to heart everyone as you protect yourselves from the pandemic not to fall victim to your own intelligence. Your lives are far more important than being worried that you're over-reacting.

Padraig Martin #sexist #racist

Your idea of masculinity is to be so terrified of a projected image of strength being compromised that nothing else matters and you will sacrifice any pursuit that brings personal enjoyment or fulfillment even going as far as not being able to properly function without someone to delegate the things you are afraid to do to do for you. On that note I'll point out that if those men were only concerned with impressing the women you'd probably just accuse them of "simping" or some other asinine buzzword and the women weren't all swarming your table in preference for your self proclaimed magnificence. Hell, you inadvertently insinuated women have to be conditioned to find you attractive rather than acting on their own wants.

It's almost like they were there to drink, eat, and relax or something but that's just crazy... right?

Another funny thing is that your exaltation of masculinity stops in its tracks or even does a hard 180 once race comes into the picture. It's a pretty pathetic look overall, your ideal man spending his life thumping his chest and trying to intimidate everyone around him hoping the act hides that he's useless without a woman to care for him and frankly terrified of comparison to other men he declares automatic superiority to because not only is he just inherently irrationally afraid of them in general that fear magnifies his perception that men of certain heritage have a distinct inborn advantage over him in all the areas he defines his masculinity and thus his life or overall worth. And if he's honest with himself? He clearly understands the precariousness of the all important ability to bluff and intimidate everyone else into elevating him while simultaneously impressing on them that they have some kind of debt obligation to do so.

Your other examples of what you think are brave white men such as those who can still somehow think a global pandemic is a hoax and will put things in their body that say right on the label are harmful if ingested rather than actual medicine are so laughably self destructive their idiocy is rapidly driving them to extinction. That this doesn't seem to lessen their disproportionate influence on the world in the slightest is even more sad than the pointless loss of life.

In other words women are barred from campus until you've put sufficient fear in them that they will be in peril and deserve their fates because an educated woman is akin to a prostitute while actual slave trading rapists like Boko Haram (who went on to terrorize rural highly conservative areas and kidnap "proper" daughters regardless) would be treated like dutiful moral guardians.

There is not a speck of righteousness in your ego-stroking sanctimony, merely naked attempts to scare the good into doing nothing and the craven to seek safety in denouncing those who know what a spine feels like.

Well that's just inaccurate and sadistic.

I heard a similar analogy when I was young concerning having a heart attack: that a foolish person would panic and immediately call for help to save themselves while someone convinced of their own intelligence would instead rationalize that they cannot be having one at all (I'm too young, my health is too good, I've no medical history suggesting this could happen, I just got up too fast and this will pass, this is too insignificant and vague to draw conclusions, etc) and delay action until the moment they are physically incapable of doing anything at all before they recognize the danger convinced they would know better before that point and still have agency in their fate.

Using frogs for the example lets idiots continue to think they're too smart to fall victim to anything because "dur hurr dumb animals" while the version with a human having a heart attack being too clever by half I believe cuts closer to the heart of the matter.

... Okay so I have to ask: Boiling frogs alive in a pot? That's something guys like this actually do? I know frogs are edible but I don't think that's how they're prepared and for some reason I kind of get the feeling he'd turn his nose up at a plate of frogs legs for being "some gross French thing" anyways so it really sounds more like his idea of how to kill time.

Cyber Ninjas refused to show the results to Congress, the ONLY people who are supposed to be privy to it considering the very nature of the data. As it stands they're sitting on a pile of personal information they had no business accessing, information that represents the greatest goldmine identity thieves could ever have imagined and Trump's volunteer voter intimidation goons would just love to use as a hit list, and they're flipping off the people whose authority they were supposedly acting on and would not otherwise have been permitted anywhere near. Just to repeat myself even with that authority what they pulled was a grotesque overreach that had nothing to do with authentication.

You're even more full of shit than they are and that's something of an achievement, not one to be proud of and even less so as in a world where written laws and any semblance of reason hold any kind of sway they would be in the deepest possible shit for each of their long series of stunts.

Giving power to empty land is part of why American politics look the way they do, so I agree that would not likely end too well.

People tend to go where there is either opportunity or a perceived ease of maintaining a comfortable existence. An improvement in economic growth can attract people looking for work (such as my own brief sojourn to Alberta) while a more favourable balance between dependable income and the cost of living can make the idea of putting down roots and raising a family more viable particularly if there's strong support like education and social services. Money alone doesn't make that decision.

As opposed to some of the simple minded barking to have more children barely into adulthood before an individual can reliably support themselves let alone others and rarely with healthy stress management and pretty much focusing all effort into tearing down women until their womb defines their existence all while paying no mind to realistic day to day issues. Bleh.

@DarkPhoenix #99830

While I do actually agree with the view that the rest of the country tends to get steamrolled between those two I'll admit you're right that it amounts to petulant whining when Provincial governments fail to use the power they do have in anything resembling a productive manner for their residents. In and of itself that would go a long way in bringing more clout to the table.
