  • Yes, but I don’t think it should be a taboo subject to mention. It is of course terrible to refer to any group as a monolith, it should still be discussed.

    As a Muslim, the same can go towards members of my religion and homophobia. I think it should be discussed, but it should not be discussed in a way where people mention it to defend their hatred.

    I’ve lived through that my entire life to be honest, any hate towards my religion hasn’t been given any pushback for racist reasons. Sacha Baron-Cohen can be openly racist on live television to a cheering crowd, but it’s okay because of our backwards culture.

    I know I’m ranting like a buffoon but I do think discussions around any of these things shouldn’t be taboo as long as they are not said in order to justify racist beliefs. If so, we would be no better than the groypers who think the 13% number is worth mentioning any time they see a black person on the internet.







  • I’ve been reading Settlers (albeit I just started it) and this seems to me that this is a core feature of the US.

    Since before the US was an independent colony, there has been a reliance on imported labor (or labor of those who were here before us). From the indigenous people they enslaved, to importing slave labor from Africa.

    Indentured servitude from Europe was only seen as a short misery from the settlers, and even that dropped rapidly when importing slave labor from Africa became cheaper.

    The culture war that Nick Fuentes and any of these other groypers want to believe exists doesn’t. Capital doesn’t care about keeping jobs in the US, and would replace them with an immigrant without second thought if it saved them money.

    I also feel that education in the US has been plummeting. Our universities are regarded as the most desirable to graduate from, but a majority of our schools provide very little practical education.

    I went to a state college over the past decade and it was the top Computer Science university in my state. Most of the classes provided zero enrichment, and the ones that would have provided enrichment, were ridden with cheaters outsourcing their work on Fiverr to someone in the global south.
