  • FWIW I will never get the hypocrisy over race-based groups being fine for anyone but white people in the west lol. Yes, in reality the white group is always a quasi-neo nazi group once you pull a couple layers away in the west… but…

    I’m just waiting for the pendulum to swing the other way on it. You’ll get real-deal white people only groups just to poke a hole in the hypocrisy of the other groups ala The Satanic Temple. It’ll just be a bunch of white people talking about their personal heritage of trailer park trash customs, video games, football legends, and maybe literal Folk European History lol. Then again I suppose that was kinda why the Supreme Court struck down Affirmative Action. Can’t discriminate based on X.



  • AACAB I can get behind lol. ACAB half the time is just straight up internet trolls and instigators. Meanwhile the same people love to espouse shit like how the wealthy are the real oppressors while ignoring most police are only firmly low-middle class. There are way more people getting into that job who just happened into it like most people in the world. While yes, the abusers and psychopaths are attracted to the job for the above, the separation of powers in places like that are wide. Just like they would be in most businesses. Let alone the real deal PTSD they have to deal with daily to weekly in som areas.

    Any direct supervisors for teams that have pretty full automony know it’s impossible to track what they do constantly. So much of it is based on the trust system and good faith actors speaking out when they see something. Throw in some bystanders effect and benefit of the doubt for people who’d normally be good to you but a monster in the shadows… I’m not envious of police one bit, or the people trying to make change from the inside. Which is the only real way it’s going to happen despite internet tough guys espousing otherwise while refusing to pay taxes for shit like mental health services lol. Elected local/state politicians, DAs, also being the people who could make those changes. Also equally vilified.

    It’s way more complicated than people give it credit for when you’re actually trying to make change. For most people trying to get by, best thing you can do is vote.



  • How dare the public not want to hear about us stripping the rights of gays, and trans people? ECHO CHAMBER! I JUST WANT CIVIL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOTHING BUT THUGS AND RAPISTS AND THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA.

    How about no dude? Go back to Truth Social and rant there. Nobody wants to hear about your eugenics, how a female comic artist hurts your browsing experience and you’re too contrarian not to spew misogynist rhetoric.

    Progressives and most real moderates know better now. It’s all bad-faith arguments and dog whistles. The paradox of tolerance is real and people need to stop platforming insanity.



  • Just made me think. Do the animals that win so much become smart because they’re the top, or do they become smart then hit the top of the food chain?

    Always column a and b… but I can almost guarantee mammalian apex predators get smarter the higher they are on the food chain due to increased and varied food supplies. Giving it a better and stronger reinforcement mechanism for increased intelligence…

    Neat.

    Ants, bees, humans, orcas, wolves, elephants, birbs…

    I suppose the key is making sure to have pack behavior too. Loners like Crocs, great whites, etc too good to need to adapt plus aren’t social.
