Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[The Curmudgeon]

No, she listed ZERO thing "white allies" should do; her list is all "be prepared about this" and "know that", and nothing about doing.
But it's all moot because nobody with self-regard wants to be a "white ally".

Good point. I re-read it and you're right. There is no call to action, just her lame attempt at thought policing her self-hating white allies.

More than likely she'd say the same thing as all other Social Justice Warriors
"educate yourself!"

"UGHHHHHH, It's not my job to educate you"
"Why are there so many naht-zees???"

Exactly! These same people piss and moan that both regular people and the opposition don't understand their causes, yet they also insist on not doing ANY of the work to educate these same people. The onus lies on them to convert people. Of course, it never dawns on them that when people DO educate themselves, they more than likely learn why they shouldn't jump on the social justice bandwagon. Thus, they negate their own cause by pushing away potential converts.

Protests in Japan for BLM? What!?

And of course it's another white dumb fucking nerd who is bitching. The cosplayed anime character is not even black, just tan.

Around a week ago (before the Minneapolis Chimpout started), a Kurdish immigrant got arrested by the Tokyo police and was filmed being arrested. Then when the Minneapolis Chimpout went national a few days later, a Soros-backed (literally, they receive Open Society Foundation money) Japanese antifa group called "CRAC" helped organize a protest. About 200 people showed up and marched around a bit and shouted. At least half were blatantly non-Japanese (mostly whites and some blacks, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Asian-looking people there were Koreans or Chinese) and most of the signs were written in English. Tweets in Japanese relating to this get maybe 2-3K likes at most. The hashtag related to this is about 2/3 used by Americans/other gaijin writing in English, who like every pro-riot tweet get 10x what any Japanese-language tweet gets.

It's unbelievably astroturfed and they can barely get the actual far-left in Japan to support it. Although this was about a day ago I looked into it, I don't know how much they've grown since or if they actually got the far-left/Japanese SJWs to jump aboard.

From perspective of not US citizen: In my opinion, what happened to that black man is terrible and I'm not suprised people are protesting. But because people are accused of "microracism" and articles like that are linked all the time on social media... I think this way when something serious happens people have troubles to taking it seriously and not another exaggerated post.
The whole situation is horrible and I feel sorry for everybody in US.

As one of many amerikiwis, I can confirm. I feel like the US is so big that we have an even greater distance between the urban, suburban, and rural than other countries, ane that doesn't help the problem of white suburbans talking down to other whites about small stuff like this. The divide between the privilliged and unprivilliged is partially influenced by skin color (much less than the past but some still the there), but much more influenced by wealth and social status.

My non-white friend was cheering on the violence from the suburbs, until it finally hit one of the restruants and some of the other businesses he knew well. He's not a bad guy either, he was just venting his frustration through others. I feel like a lot of America's better off citizens are just ignorant rather than malicious about all this, and are ignorant of their own igborance until they finally venture out of their comfort zone. Some people will get it, some won't (I'm sure the writer of that wouldnt).

Anyway, I am trying to say you're right and thank you for your condolences. I'm going to bed before I ramble on incoherently even more, you have a good day today

The "Big Iron" of the song of the same name was inspired by an actual gun Marty Robbins saw in a gun store, a unique gun built out of parts by Andy Anderson, the store owner. It was a "Great Western frame with a 12" barrel made from an 1892 Winchester rifle or carbine barrel in .44 WCF."

It would take a big man to use this effectively and both Andy and the guy who bought the gun were well over six feet. It's now in a private collection.

Same here. Most people, myself included forget how big the United States is, and how little it feels explored by academia or the media. Which is why it's very surprising to see more conservative/republican states as diverse and inclusive than liberal states like Main and Vermont. Even if there's a rich history of diversity in a liberal state, once you pull back the curtain you'll realize there's multiple issues dealing with racism, sexism, etc. that Democrats are unwilling to admit to and call you out for being racists. Which is why everything is one big clusterfuck!

I feel like because of silly stuff like "whitewashed fanarts because character is one tone lighter", "representation in cartoons is super duper imortant" or "white people have no culture" and "if you are thinking differently you are racist nazi" is really stupid and looks even more stupid when something actually racist happens (like murder of George Floyd).
Like - I'm not one to judge, because I'm not from US - but police brutality/biases can be actual serious problems related to race, but Twitter makes you "racist" for smallest, most absurd reasons that are not racist at all and like those 2 situations are equal.

As dumb as I'm probably gonna sound saying this... it's not really a racial matter when you look at the numbers. If it was I imagine whites would be more in line with Asians rather than being the majority number. I know rates are the concern, but I don't think they're the cause. I think it's more a correlation between how cops just in general behave over here because of their piss poor training. Someone on these very forums mentioned that police had their training lower the bar so women could join, same for firemen or even the army. I feel that very training went from men focused which has the strength to subdue criminals without lethal force, to... well, "Shoot to save your life." because a woman lacks the physical development men go through to be able to pull off similar holds or such maneuvers.

Essentially when you look at each case of police death they all behaved in the same manner. They all went into the situation with the same mindset. I feel that's a fault of training and the supposed "Blue Wall" or whatever it's called where police feel the world is against them and that they have nothing in common with the community they're supposed to protect. They feel alien and they see alien. Now the latter is probably a reach, but I do truly believe that training has suffered greatly in the past few decades and I think that's a very real issue that can be solved. Not that anyone cares to talk about it on the main stage.

A lot of policemen don't live in the cities they're supposed to protect. They have no connection with the community.

Some police forces are better than others, of course, but that means you have to know which ones you'd prefer to be arrested by.

This is honestly a decent strategy if you're dealing with the dregs of society as part of your job. Same applies to child protective services. You don't want junkies or gangbangers having the ability to show up at your house or spot you off-duty easily. I know some people 'swap towns' so that each are the other's government frontline workers.

If this was just about the dregs of society, I would agree, but the fact is, this applies to the whole community in a lot of cases. Take Minneapolis, where the rioting started - only 8% of cops on duty in that town live there.

Maine is like the most conservative state in New England except for maybe New Hampshire and the whitest state in the US. Ignoring the big cities close to the Massachusetts border like Portland (which bad as it can be is still better than Portland OR) of course. There's regularly articles in the media wondering why the state is so white and how they need more diversity.

Although the funny part is Vermont is the second-whitest state (after Maine) and there's no signs of that changing but Vermont is one of the few rural states that consistently votes Democrat (and they're voting people like Bernie, remember) in this day and age. The only other rural areas that are Democrat nowadays are the blacks in the Deep South, Indian reservations, and counties on the Mexican border where no one speaks English.

I recall somewhere that Chicago police are required to live within city limits so this isn't universal. Not that I'd blame the police for getting the hell out of those cities even though with pensions and other benefits they can collect a nice salary even compared to the cost of living.

The Massachusetts-Maine border?...

Of course, the thing is, living in the community by itself isn't enough. You have to know how to respond and deal with a crowd. I don't know if any of you were following the looting in Providence, R.I. last night - I was - but the police there didn't put on the riot gear and start using tear gas until it became clear the gathering was an excuse to loot and steal and burn.

Isn't that also a problem with it being difficult to find affordable housing that's not a complete shitshow in a state capital?

Maybe all these terrible racist cops should just leave these areas. They don't seem to be welcome and the people apparently don't need them.
