We seem to be very different with our view of race. You realise you can be a shitty minority right? Blaming your style of opinion has nothing to do with your race. It's something that anyone can have.
PoliERA is one of the worst places I've ever discussed politics online, and there's a lot of bad places I've tried to discuss politics online. You all are so damn up your own asses that you clearly are incapable of even trying to understand anyone not inside your bubble.
I've encountered plenty of Trump supporters who didn't bother to vote in 2016. Warren's published writings from the time speak to her political/economic position in 1980. You and Kirblar are really all aboard the "being called a racist is worse than being a racist" train, aren't you?
PoliEra's greatest hits: -Is Single Payer good? -2016 yall -That dang Bernard -lol joke candidates (ft. Delaney et al) -Fuck Trump and his merry gang of fascists -BidenGaf
The Brie Larson joke getting the exact desired reaction. Beautiful.
The people who watch it are people that are cool with genocide and rape, so that should tell you the target audience.
In a time where people are opposed to lead characters being faultless and perfect, characters like Naofumi should be praised.
I don't think anyone is defending racism, just pointing out that all demographics voted leave, remain, it's not clear cut poor people voting leave, comfortable, well off people voting remain, white, black, asian picking remain or leave. Immigration fears, racism was a huge part, no doubt about it and the leave campaigns, media played it like a fiddle and the resulting leave win only encouraged racists which is a terrible outcome but one that probably needed to show it's head that it's here and will always be unfortuately, needs called out and fought against. I would also say it's not always white on black or asian hate, it does happen the other way, the fear of the other, EU immigration crossed demographics too. As for other reasons, sure people just don't like EU, believe it's a waste of money, believe all the lies over the years or maybe legitimently think we can go alone even if they are wrong or right, these people may be few and far between and it's just cover for fear of immigration, society changing, quite possible but let's not forget 70% voted in the election, 33 million people and 17 million voted leave in a country of 70 million. Hate is everywhere but I'm trying to be positive and hope we turn a corner and people see the good path now and the obvious lies.
So how are you changing hearts and minds here.
Plenty of us outside the Metropolitan Bubble could've told you what would happen, but no one listened - which, of course, is what the problem is.
Yet here we are. You still havnt done it lolI'm impressed We're getting so close to valuable and thoughtful discourse
Don't be such a patronising prick. I'm being honest and you're just being a wanker. Edit: I'm aware that privatising of the NHS isnt good, but it's not just limited to Tories. Brown was all over PPI for transport. And it was he and Blair who opened the floodgates for the NHS.
Seems about right. It’s basically the Era version of #resistance twitter.
Man. I had to just hit ignore on the Etc thread. And the OP, too, who was so thirsty to make sure every complaint got a new threadmark. As the thread descended into a dogpile and banfest it just got really difficult to stomach. I'm hoping that if I can just use the ignore list feature I can enjoy the site a bit more than I have been, but it seems like toxic behavior by people who are ideologically aligned with the moderation's positions is bound to go unchecked, while crossing the moderation's personal beliefs will pretty much catch you a ban one way or another - usually because of the assertion that such disagreement constitutes "defending sexism," or "dismissing racism," no matter how careful the person is to say that they abhor sexist and racist actions they believe are happening, "Drive-by" is one that only comes out if you're not in lock-step, despite dozens of completely disingenuous, unsubstantiated, dismissive one-liners that are on the preferred side of a discussion flying by with no problem; it's a good catch-all if the mods just want to hit mute on someone who isn't down with the position being taken. This is not to say RLM is above criticism, but the discussion is never about criticizing a thing someone said, it's a rush to make a broader judgement call on who the person is. In that kind of environment it is really difficult to make this case that "I don't think they're that kind of person - here's why," even though that's the exact question being begged when the OP begins a crusade to cancel someone. And it's difficult because going there to make the discussion about the kind of person they are is engaging more with the general than the specific complaint, which treads into appearing to "handwave" or "dismiss" or "defend." I love how progressive this place is - the political threads are really fun for me for that reason, this is all just about the toxicity of the discussion trajectory that happens time and again and how moderation enables it. I don't notice it so much when the target is something I'm less familiar with, or if I agree unreservedly in the takedown in progress. In the case of RLM, it disturbed me quite a bit.
I don't think other candidate supporters would field random questions from a random video game site to ask an academic with ties to a campaign, backing the candidate's unrealistic plan... Lol.
You want to know why we don't fucking like you stans for Sexist Racist Gun-Loving Finger-Wagging Peepaw? The endless dismissal of anyone who isn't part of the Bernie Religion as a nefarious villain. The continual "we're the underdogs being kicked around by the big bad media and DNC and such" narrative, and its use as a shield for anything the Berniestans do, no matter how vile. You're a cult built around a sick old man. And when he fails again, you already have your narrative ready. God help us all when he dies and you all lose your fucking shit.
While most of the time it’s used by the alt-right to criticize anyone who remotely disagrees with them, I’ll admit the term “sjw” really does fit some people who are always pushing further and further left and if you aren’t close to their level you’re either a bigot or an enabler of bigotry. I find that level often pushes people who would otherwise be left of center closer to a centrist or right policy since they’re “always wrong”. And no, this is not a hand wave of Rich’s horrible stream rant or some of the more questionable things RLM have said. The actual problematic content should be criticized as is, but it should not be an excuse to relitigate every piece of content they’ve ever put out to try and determine if the content was secretly bigoted in nature.
They are playing to the fan base with this one. Absolutely retarded decision when there's a skill shortage in a lot of technical jobs that pay way less than 36k. or.... They are factoring in the pound taking a dive come 31st October and everyone will want to be paid in Euros EDIT - Apologies for using ableist language. This current government's decisions are evil.
People are already being charged thousands for procedures that used to be free. Outsourcing, private contracts and shutting down services. They've been privatising it for nearly a decade. e: ah just catching up on their other posts. What a cunt, lol
Wow I just looked at the last page, Alexandros and Mona were banned? I asked for a ban in the shitstorm Etika thread, can one of you fucks ban me forever already? There is nothing less important in my life than this website, and its a really depressing place.
IIRC somebody posted the SW9 prediction video in EtcetEra and it got derailed hard within 2 posts and subsequently locked and I guess it just riled up the usual cancel crew.
I don't agree. That sounds exactly like the shit that they routinely make Rich say to offend people. You're either on board with this type of humor or you're not, I wouldn't blame people either way.
What a surprise, one of the people that was gung-ho for the smear campaign against a muslim WOC refuses to admit that Republicans capitalized on it.
yeah I wasnt by any means denying that they some of them havent said shitty things before, but the extent of them is exaggerated and some are outright lies (folks keep bringing up how anti Trans they are and bring up Rich dressing up as a woman for a skit when he dressed up as the guy with sunglasses with the silly blonde wig).
I saw the locked thread. The video brings up other points. As I said, take it with a grain of salt. The content that he talks about on the 2011 contract is spot on though. 95% of people are wrong when talking about the contract. This dude isn't. The fact that he might be a bigot is irrelevant when talking about the points he brought up for the SM rights IMO. Again, it's fair to say he's full of shit. I do think the video makes sense and some good points, especially when it comes to characters and why they are all different.
You’re into adolescents though, I would think small dicks are your thing
Kawhi going to give as much weight to the Raptors' pitch as Kobe does to the word "No"
U think u r superior on this forum by trying to single me out. Nothing to do with Detroit or whatever. If u r truly neutral, ud call the right ppl out but I know loyalties are important.
State enforced medical has some bad history and I can understand that some would find it questionable.
Weiss loves cops confirmed. I'm disappointed in you too.
EXID. What a slay. Why are they so much more talented and beautiful than all the other sex dolls who look and sound like they fell off the back of a truck in transit to Incheon and were repurposed to make fat men money?
What kind of pillow-fucking, furry-loving, child-porn advocating cunt have you got to be to consider Mike’s posts worthy of a perm?
It's very explicit in the manga, though they toned it down in the anime. It's still there, but IMO the series is still worth a watch. It would be much better if they were to remove it completely of course but unfortunately they didn't. I understand why some people find it hard to recommend it.
We certainly need to be careful when looking at crimes and ethnicity, but if your source is correct; 52% of convictions from one ethnic group relative to the population is surely something that can't be casually dismissed? How does that help anyone or combat the rise of extremism?
What a disaster the BoA MV, full of "multiculturalism" without reason, idk why the marketing think this kind of MV is good for the song, boring as hell looking this videos when all is force in that way. We have the oportunity to see BoA dancing or maybe telling a "little story" but we get this template of "trending mv style", what a waste, i dont have any problem of MVs with people of differents countrys but with some background, this past 2-3 years a lot of artist are using that template and losing part of the charisma of the clasic MVs. Look for example, in this same page we have Sappy of Red Velvet, with some similaritys in the "studio"...but the difference is huge, RV doing a great job showing the members all the song with that style....while we see BoA in middle of a group telling us nothing about the MV.
They as bad as that shitbag Schreier and his business. Just stirring the pot for clicks. "Mad at WWE? We'll give you articles about THINGS YOU SHOULD REALLY BE MAD ABOUT"
Irrelevant of what someone says (and I've never heard of Femi until the last few pages) there is no place in society for gutter comments like the above.Imagine if Labour win, we'll end up illegally invading another country resulting in god knows how many deaths and go onto cause another great financial crisis. Rolls eyes… The reality is that if you're against Brexit, Labour aren't a viable home at this present moment, if anything being associated with Labour makes you an enabler of Brexit.
Nadal about to snap that five match winning streak for Fed. Snap might be too nice of a word too. Nadal uses clay like lube and will brutally violate Fed. Oh well, good run for him anyway!
My illegal streams of RAW each week have usually averaged at about 2h15m of content, as all the adverts are taken out before they're uploaded. This week, 2h3m. People watching live got pretty much an entire hour of advertisements and still got The Undertaker cut off abruptly at 11pm.
