Sometimes I will watch a Yahtzee video for a couple of laughs, and then go back to wasting my life in the internet. In other news, my friend is trying to get his friend to move to where I am so that they can put my "antics" on YouTube. Let me tell you right now it's going to be terrible and you all have free reign to poo poo on it as much as you want. I've come to terms with my suffering.

Doesn't exist yet. I am also still smart enough not to put my face on the internet. No, that choice is taken out of my hands now.

Oh you know, just likened immigration in america to the whole situation with Tibet somehow and desperately scrambled to try and convince people that "the western world" has gotten rid of discrimination and if you think otherwise, somehow it's you that's living in a fantasy world.

Jobbo_Fett posted:JonTron white, so what? He's Iranian and the son of immigrants, I believe. Which makes his comments all the more baffling because he's basically saying his own family should never have come to this country because they are a bunch of savages incompatible with glorious white culture.

Jobbo_Fett posted:No but you see JonTron is pure enough to be assimilated into the Gene Pool. A sound and compelling argument that will surely spare him from being brained with a brick by other Alt-Righters for being a "dirty Muslim." That's what I don't get about people like JonTron and Milo and even someone like Ann Coulter. You're trying to appeal and be part of a group whose ideals are explicitly HATING you. They're not going to regard you as "one of the good ones." Sure, you might advance their cause and give it more credibility so they can say "See? Even this person knows their place and understands we are superior!" but if they get the power and position they so badly desire, do they really think they would be spared?

That was the best part to see, like whenever he was starting to first get loud about his trashcan beliefs with awful people like sargon and whatever, there were still a bunch of people trying to go to bat for him and clear his name by this, that or another reasoning. Not after this one, oh no, the entire thing is top to bottom a mixture of ragging on him and "What the gently caress" sentiments now, the only people still coming to his defense by this point are the blatant pol shitposters and their ilk.

Milo yanablalba at least was just doing it because they so desperately wanted some kind of validation, to be SOMEONE's little important celebrity, that the someone were fine even being nazis by another name for them.

Sorta, but at the same time they had to create an entirely seperate front page for every sub besides /r/the_donald because they had so many trump supporters that they were constantly getting alt-right neo-nazi poo poo to the front page

https://twitter.com/JonTronShow/status/841116333291032577 It's poo poo like this that makes it so hard to argue with the Alt-Right. Because; 1) What does it mean to be "American?" 2) Who is coming here and asking America to be "less American" anyway? The thinking here, I guess, is that they feel like immigrants are coming here and forcing their beliefs upon the rest of us and turning the US into Mexicafristan. We will have no choice but to do what they tell us to do, unless we do the reverse and have them do what we tell them to do. I mean, it's not like this country is known for its freedoms or melding of cultures or anything like that.

He's saying that you wouldn't DARE to think of a predominantly Asian country being forced to assimilate to white culture, yet here in White America, we're being asked to assimilate and submitting without a fight! HOW WEIRD IS THAT?! Even though white people totally did force parts of Asia to assimilate to white cultures in the past, and through natural spread of cultures and ideas as a whole, you totally do see plenty of westernization in the east BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT THERE IS SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING AND YOU WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO SEE IT!

Jamesman posted:He's saying that you wouldn't DARE to think of a predominantly Asian country being forced to assimilate to white culture, yet here in White America, we're being asked to assimilate and submitting without a fight! HOW WEIRD IS THAT?! I think, on the Right, there is a perception that there is a double standard at play. Certainly on places like Twitter, there are plenty of comments that XYZ is "too white" or has "too many white people", and if that's your environment, and impression of the Left, you're going to start projecting that onto news articles and other mainstream opinions. Anyway, I think the main disconnect going on is that the Left sees race as... well... genetics, but the Right quite often uses and sees race as a shorthand to culture, which is what it's principally concerned with. Nine times out of ten, when someone on the Right criticises Muslims, what they really object to is the culture that is spreading through the Middle East. What's more, the further from the centre you go, the more likely you are to see people who think race and culture are inextricably linked, which is literally why white supremacists are still a thing--whites built the entire Western world so why wouldn't they be the best race? (Although I think some white supremacists think Asians are even better, given the Asian nations' astonishing pace of industrialisation.) The Left's problem is that it projects white supremacist thought patterns onto the moderate Right. I get it--being outraged about something literally gives you a dopamine rush, but it's extremely unhelpful for actual cogent political debate. The Right, for its part, needs to stop using such sloppy rhetoric and stop assuming that everyone knows what they mean and that the Left is just disingenuous. Since we're talking about Steve King, note that when asked to walk his statement back, he doubled down, but did make it clear he was talking about culture, not race/genetics. Sorry if this post is boring, but I'm getting a bit sick of seeing everyone getting called a white supremacist, since it cheapens the term and makes it less powerful.

The moderate right has no idea what it wants because there's no coherent "moderate right" position. There're the restrictionists, the "let's be like Canada and use a points system!" people, the temp worker fans, etc. etc. But they have a hard time avoiding being tarnished by the white supremacists because they keep working with people, like Steve King, who have a strong habit of conflating race and culture in a way that's at best insulting to everyone outside the circle of people who agree with them, and at worst is basically repeating white supremacist talking points with a veneer of "but the culture!"

Jon Tron finishes up recording a video where he yells at video games and has a cutaway where he wears a diaper in service of a joke: "I'm a thought leader"

I'm pretty okay calling JonTron a white supremacist since the only cultures he's criticizing for existing too closely to him are non-white ones.

Those dopamine-triggering articles certainly aren't unique to the Left! It has a lot to do with the whole Obamacare/ACA disconnect and the "he's a Muslim" kind of thing that happened for the last 8 years. whowhatwhere addresses it as well.
