Screenshot of a thread on X. Top post by Steve Laws, verified account @Steve_Laws_, posted four hours ago: “People like to avoid the mixed race question but here’s a prime example of these people belonging nowhere. We don’t want them and neither do they. Very problematic.” The post quote-tweets an earlier post by the same account: “We don’t want them. They’re yours.” That post in turn quotes a user called Naima, @Naimaintaipei, replying to @eleanorzjames and @MrNChance: “Mixed race people aren’t black at all. We don’t want them to claim black.” The Laws post shows 79 replies, 59 reposts, 928 likes, 16,000 views.

Two Restore Britain supporters, both in Rupert Lowe’s orbit, discussing on X about what to do with those who are mixed-race. Conversations that once had to be held secretly now held with little to no pushback. So much for the marketplace of ideas.

And it’s not like Trump is going to get any more sane!

It’s so perfect that the American people have another two years to contend with how badly they screwed up

Nvm I see it

I feel like not enough reviewers know they had to remake the entire final third of the Michael Jackson movie because it falsely exonerated him, and it turned out the kid’s lawyer foresaw that shit in the 1990s and made sure to include a clause that the estate could never ever do that on film.

Uh Hi

"The conversation between Herzl and von Plehve illustrates the Bund’s problem with Zionism. Zionism was not just impractical, in Bundists’ eyes. It was submission to the same bigots who wanted to kick Jews out of their homes. The Bund believed that Jews belonged in eastern Europe. “We are not strangers here and not guests, even though the Russian government considers us as such,” one local Bund committee wrote. “The richness of the land is soaked through with our blood…. We demand and fight for that which belongs to us, for human, civil and political rights.” To leave meant letting their tormenters win. The Bund coined a word for this stubborn insistence on staying: do’ikayt. Hereness, as opposed to the There of Palestine. Bundists would fight for freedom and dignity in the place where they lived."

it is so very bizarre to read someone trying to write as if the Bund's idea of "Hereness" is the correct answer for the Jews of Eastern Europe, as if an apocalypse isn't coming to kill them all, as if the correct answer Zionist or not isn't "here" but "anywhere but here"

Being MAGA is basically wanting it to be as socially acceptable to be a selfish dishonorable shithead as possible

Sorry about my mistake! Please keep listening to all my other opinions though!

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

The conservative intelligentsia is just wildly, cartoonistly racist, and the fact that this gets less elite pushback from the prestige media/commentariat than "woke" does is such a damning indictment of our whole society.

I stole this from Facebook, but it's a good illustration of how rape used to be considered cute, even at a time when consensual premarital sex was much more stigmatized.

This is basically how every conversation on every topic goes nowadays. “Yeah, sure, republicans *want* to destroy this thing but they won’t end up doing it so it’ll be fine BUT what about when the Dems did (something untrue I have a vague recollection of through a game of internet telephone)?”

come on man.

Also basically every American learns this song as a child

If you’re outside the US yankee means American, if you’re in the US Yankee means someone from the northern US.
If you’re in the northern US yankee means someone form the Northeast US.(New England)

It’s really funny how people search for the secrets of the universe in his lyrics

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.
