I'm old enough to recall the world before 9/11. To me, Current Year Clown World is insane, while that time before was more sane. For example, there was still "racism" being seen as wrong in the 1990s, but nowhere near the forced "diversity" there is in Clown World. And of course what constituted "racism" was also far more reasonable back then.
They also see America as both a nebulous idea, and The Great Satan who has to kill himself to atone for his sins against the world. They grew up hearing of America as being the progressive melting pot of the world, freeing itself from its oppressive past. Meanwhile, they looked around and saw America as exploiting and destroying the world, regardless of who’s actually doing it. They think that because American companies installed banana republics in Central and South America decades ago, Central and South Americans should come and exploit America’s system today. At the expense of American citizens. That’s what they often mean when they talk about equity and social justice.
Obama did not help race relations in the United States overall. There was a period in the late 90s to 2008 where it looked like everything was coming together. There was a kind of nationalism post 9/11 that made everyone feel like everyone was an American, except for Muslims of course. There was comedy that was transracial, and stuff was generally good. Even during the great recession we all knew who the problem was. Then Obama and the FBI decided it was a problem that the whites and blacks wanted to lynch the donar class, so they psy-opd the people by sabotaging occupy and sensationalizing national news stories of white on black shootings.
2008 was the last time the future looked bright for a long time. When Obama began “advocating” over Trayvon’s corpse, basically calling him his son, I knew something was wrong.
Lmao at these self-loathing mayoids trying to cope their way out being White, like it's going to save them from the impending caliphate. Ngmi.
At this point, I really want to petition the Unicode consortium to remove the goddamn strobe light emoji; every single twitter post shown here in the last 12 months or so ends up starting with it.
The Unicode Consortium rejects Kiwi Farm’s Dr. Sexbot’s petition; boomers love the alert emoji too much.

And seeing them criticize trump makes me wonder what the political landscape in Ireland's like. Especially that one dude saying people there still love biden and is popular there.
There's a pretty bad housing and cost of living crisis over there. At least according to a guy making six figures I knew
This is an 82 year old woman who's been a congresswoman for 34 years doing this.
House passes $1.9 billion Capitol security measure creating permanent National Guard forceBesides intensifying police repression and government surveillance, DHS outlined on Wednesday its plan to use grants to fund private, unaccountable organizations that specialize in experimenting on “extremists,” psychological operations and brainwashing, and training teachers to spot and report children engaging in “hate speech.”
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a 77-year-old woman with purple hair, led the House Appropriations Committee discussion on combating “domestic violent extremism” with DHS’ two counter-terrorism department leaders, John Cohen and John Picarelli. Rep. DeLauro is the wife of former Ehud Barak advisor, Stan Greenberg
Much of the discourse revolved around the frustration officials are having shutting down supposed “extremists” due to the fact that these individuals they claim are posing a national security risk are often not committing any criminal offenses. Rep. DeLauro frantically ranted about the need for legislation that would make membership in a patriotic militia of any kind illegal.

Here's a local article about her:
Here's a video from a couple months ago with her melting down about Elon Musk:
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro is the dean of Connecticut's congressional delegation and one of the most colorful members of Congress — in ways both literal and figurative.
Here are five things to know about the long-serving Democratic congresswoman.
She's Connecticut's longest-tenured House member ... ever
DeLauro was first elected to Congress in 1991 and has served Connecticut's 3rd district, including New Haven and the surrounding towns, since then.
That makes her not only the longest serving of Connecticut's current House members but also the longest serving in the state's history. Including all congressional representatives, she trails only Chris Dodd, who split 36 years between the House and Senate.
How much longer will DeLauro remain in Congress? Well she's running for reelection this year and is overwhelmingly favored to win, so she won't likely be going away anytime soon.
She's the top Democrat on the powerful Appropriations Committee
DeLauro is no back-bencher. When Democrats controlled the House during the previous Congress, she chaired the Appropriations Committee, making her one of the nation's most powerful and influential lawmakers.
Today, she remains the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, as well as the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee, which directs funding to key areas.
She is known for liberal positions
DeLauro has often been the most progressive member of Connecticut's delegation (and one of the more progressive members of Congress) on both fiscal and social issues, including tax policy, health care, abortion and gun violence.
She has long been a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and is currently the only Connecticut representative part of the group.
Still, DeLauro has earned praise from more centrist lawmakers for her openness to compromise, particularly as head of the Appropriations Committee. In 2021, Politico reported she was running the committee "from the middle" in an attempt to reach broad consensus.
She's a leader on children's issues, including the child tax credit
DeLauro has long been particularly passionate about issues affecting children and families.
For years, she pushed an expansion of the child tax credit as a way to drastically reduce child poverty, and when the measure finally passed on a temporary basis as part of President Biden's American Rescue Plan, poor families saw enormous benefit.
Since the expanded child tax credit expired in 2022, DeLauro has pushed to reinstate it, arguing that it "provided unprecedented economic security for America’s middle- and working-class families."
Her personal style is proudly different
Beyond her policy achievements, DeLauro sometimes attracts attention for her personal style, including her purple hair and colorful clothing.
Asked in 2018 why she styles her hair with purple streaks, DeLauro said simply: "I wanted to do it, I love it and it’s fun."
Spurred by her granddaughter, DeLauro got her first tattoo last summer, a large crest on her upper arm that includes a rose, the letter "D" and an image of Italy. And she hasn't ruled out getting more.
Only one of these contained an Irish person that was identifiable one of them was a nigger.
i see you, Fräulein.
Cringy half spic potato bastards too brown to fit in with the Irish too Irish to fit in with other brownoids, twice as lazy and drunk.
Twitter is hardly a good representation but why is every irishman I see on the internet a massive lefty fag.
I think you quoted the wrong post there. Is the below what you were replying to?
