Re: End of USA republic imminent?

It is a strange phenomenon that people will whine how they don't get to say things right after they just said them. It's almost as though they missed the idea that free speech includes the ability to criticize what other people used their free speech to say. Here's a rule of thumb: if you can say w...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

Maybe he really does care about Aunt Jemima or Uncle Bens and he can explain the association he has with them that is being lost with the change. Or maybe he really has a lawn jockey. I don't care about Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben and I have never owned a lawn Jockey. I was unable to express my concer...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

You continue to make my point. You have clearly declared me a bigoted stupid obviously racist scumbag because I have tried to discuss a possible phenomenon Bret Weinstein has suggested. What violence would you like to see happen to me for my bigotry? Would you like to apply that justice to me person...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

To me, "all lives matter" === we need to replace the current King of the Mountain status pro and to do that, like honorentheos suggests is going to require being able to discuss the issues, not bury them under PC safe spaces where those who violate the PC are personally attacked like you have done t...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

The concept of 'safe space' verses 'free speech' being mutually exclusive struck me in this video:

it seems EA would like this forum to be a 'safe space'. Does 'all people matter" offend you EA?

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

I have a poster of this hanging in my window. Seems anti-semitic. Oh, so displaying any image of Jews is now anti-semitic? Are you going to call for my execution like a fundamentalist Muslim? Is that it? Are you gonna cancel all episodes of Seinfeld because the show depicts Jews? Huh? You've just m...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

Uh, it's sure looking like you have a lawn jockey. This is veering off into a demonstration that even people who say or do o/quotevertly racist things don't imagine themselves to be doing anything racist territory. EAllusion seems to have self identified as belonging to the "McCarthyist-lite segmen...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

Aunt Jemima is notoriously based on racist tropes involving sanguine black servitude. Whenever you see it, your reaction should be "Wow. That still exists?" The idea that some executives woke up in 2020 and were like "Wait a minute. Aunt Jemima might be problematic guys..." is hilarious, but they a...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

I think it's important to step back and listen. What Weinstein described was a group unwilling to listen to his point of view that instead asserted the superiority of the changes they wished to see. Maybe they had good points, maybe they would have reconsidered and found a better, middle way had th...

Re: End of USA republic imminent?

Unless Weinstein was literally lynched, this is a super poor choice of words in this context. Oh yea, I forgot to add the word lynched to images of black people on that warning list to avoid being labeled a racist. Funny thing is I associate lynched to justice served to horse thieves in the 1800's....
