It’s the perfect encapsulation of how they argue. It’s a thought and argument terminating cliche. It’s the liberal equivalent of those nork/soviet era newsreader barking about ‘the imperial running dogs of the blah blah will never harm the glorious fatherland.’
This is someone who never thinks about their own mortality or any big questions in general.
A couple of weeks ago, and I swear this is true, he was looking at an advertising thing and said, with genuine emotion, ‘oh I love the diversity.’
It was really telling when they changed the definition of “indigenous” to not include Europeans in Europe.
Fortunately, these stupid ass land acknowledgement are relatively easy to remove or at the very least ruin it for everyone in your vicinity. Just play dumb and ask "So we are giving the stolen land back? When and how? ". The smarter people will try to remove themselves from the conversation, while the rest will come up with some excuse why that isn't possible. "Oh, so we are just rubbing it in? That's low, man." Mileage my vary depending on where you are or whether English is your native language.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand come to mind.
Fuck that stolen land shit. Anywhere humans live, they took it from someone else who was living there before. Should have fought harder you weak faggots.
I know the one you're talking about. It's usually involving John Oliver.
Unfortunately for those who lost them, history generally ratifies borders, even really dumb ones like the African nations with borders drawn by some dipshit sitting in London who knew nothing about what he was divvying up. The general international legal principle is called uti possidetis, Latin for "as you possess," is that an historical border is presumed to be valid.
that manifesto in Washington Post said:
I always figured it was big "fuck you mom and dad" energy evolved into it's final form. Most people drop that when they grow up and gain some perspective, but if you clung tenaciously to it no matter what as you aged, boom you're suddenly a fucking reddit drone. It's probably the appeal of safe edgy/sanitized rebellion, draped in self righteous "standing up to the man" claptrap you can find swirling around in the empty heads of any hippies/stoners you know. They're not gormless layabouts, they're FREEDOM FIGHTERS ON THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY!
Even if more Muslims than Americans were killed, 9/11 was a huge tragic event which happened all at once, and which began the slide into Current Year Clown World. No, people don't have to forget it. Also, if that hypnosis thing is true, that could explain how SJWs get so cult-y, far more so than the "liberals" into "political correctness" before Current Year. Clown World could be the result of "social engineering" by Big Tech and the MSM. Oh yeah and wasn't John Oliver the one who unironically coined "Current Year"?
Reminds me of the saying that goes "young conservatives have no heart, old liberals have no brain" or something like that.
The "Current year" thing was a Justin Trudeauism. It was from when a reporter asked him about his cabinet being 50% female, and he smugly replied with, "Because it's 2015."
