Please tell me this isn't true. This can't be fucking for real.

 

[Forgetful Gynn]

Yeah, if you think anyone is taking anything the media says seriously at this point there's not much anyone can


Ethics my ass.

Your actions, or rather, inaction in that scenario, directly lead to the deaths of the village and yourself that way - the quintessential good man doing nothing. Not only is your blood on your hands that way, but so is everyone else's. If your inaction is going to lead to more deaths, and more suffering, then it is, by definition, the less ethical choice, no matter what that Autistic sped of a professor says.

Christ, it's like they created a class solely to come up with the stupidest fucking loopholes they can conceive of.

They also came up with the concept of "Whataboutism" aka "being morally consistent".

Trump should skip town for the weekend and let them burn it down. I don't see how it would be good optics for them. It would release the shitstorm of all time.

I may be wrong but I thought he left.

Is the DNC actively trying to re-elect Trump at this point? In a very short period of time they have gotten Americans to be skeptical of TV Experts, such as Virologists, Have increased American support for the 2nd Amendment by at least an order of Magnitude, as their own Democrat voting base runs out to buy guns in order to protect themselves and family from the Democrat Voting base. They've made LAw and Order the top political issue of the campaign by siding with actual domestic terrorists and seeking to do away with Police and Police Departments. They have people racing to get the fuck out of the dense urban Democratic Controlled Cities because suddenly the Democratic Dream Dense Urban Utopia of Solar Powered Mass Transit and living in a shoebox is seen as a very messy way to die. In any number of ways. Heck their own Democratic voter base tried to light CNN on Fire and nail the doors shut last week!

Is the Democtratic Leadership some sort of elaborate troll operation at this point? Is Ilan Omar a secret operative of /4chan/?

Sometimes I wonder, on one hand I see data points suggesting that there is broad support for Trump’s policies, however the constant orange man bad media push seems to be effecting poll numbers. I just saw the betting odds switched in Biden’s favor for the first time this week, that made me wonder to be honest. Theoretically the riots should help Trump, but we’re not seeing that in the poll numbers. I think we haven’t really gotten into full campaign season yet so we’ll see how long Biden can hide in the basement. If he can stay out of the spotlight he may win, but if a guy hiding in a basement with dementia can be president we are truly all as a species fucked.

Posing next to a dead pot plant. Appropriate.

Close honestly. Ilhan Omar and AOC are what would happen if /pol/ actually got someone into congress. The thing is the Republican Party and conservatives in general have been pretty good at policing their own. They may all giggle at /pol/ memes but they wont put /pol/ in congress. The democrats for some reason have no filter. Their desperate purity spiral as resulted in the most extreme elements of the party getting the most attention and pushing the agenda.

Not helped by the fact everyone in charge of the Democratic Party is old enough to remember a time when the processing power of a TI-83 calculator required an entire warehouse of vaccum tubes. They just arent "hip" to what is going on. The Republicans leadership are practically in the spring of their youth by comparison.

the replies on this will be spicy. how blind are these people? their organization was literally founded to target black people in an attempt to decrease black birth rates. they have a long history of targeting poor and black communities.

Fox is racking in the viewership and I bet a non-trivial percentage of them are new viewers like myself... refugees from other points on the political spectrum and other MSM outlets. They are getting so much right now just because they are the only ones socially positioned to talk about what is going on honestly without imploding. Talk about a gift falling into their lap. All thanks to crazy ass BLM.

My mom just messaged me because she saw the Tucker clips and was angry about twice as many whites being killed by police than blacks. I think it's a sign of the boomer awakening.

Polling is an absolute joke. Best to ignore it imho.

 

[FuckedUp]

most of the curfews I've seen have exceptions for just about everything but large gatherings for the purpose of protesting rioting

Just the fact they can do blanket curfews like this, starting so early in the day, shows we're already in the "new normal": overton window for government power has shifted more in the past three months than in the last 20 years combined.

Well considering I'm going to be trained by small, CGI animals after however many years in police academy, I wouldn't want it, either.

 

[Harvey Danger]

Look, I don't know why the cop needed to give him a patdown, I don't know how fast he was speeding, but I don't know why people fight the cops. That only ever makes shit worse for you, just comply.

That's what pisses me off about all the mournful "I'm a black parent and I had to have The Talk with my son today" bullshit. I'm not black, and my parents gave me The Talk too when I asked them why cops carry guns. "Don't fight them, even if you didn't do anything. Keep both hands visible on the wheel, say Yes Sir, and sort it out safely at the police station."

Maybe the difference is white kids take that Talk more seriously. (Or they used to, before every millennial girl went full Karen during these protests.) Maybe the black parents don't actually give The Talk to their kids, other than the middle class black newspaper columnists writing these articles, who are pretending everyone else does what they do.

When you yell "I'm not going to jail today!" before jumping out for an encounter with police, you aren't exactly following advice from The Talk.

I don't know how many of you have had to take a mandatory ethics class in College for your degree or to update/modernize your degree, but Ethics is one of the classes that needs to be fumigated with napalm.

OK, here's a question, posed in EVERY ethics class I've been in. (No, it won't be the trolley. There's a reason this one is one that I abhor)

You are working in a village doing humanitarian relief. A warlord comes by and makes all the people of the village line up in front of you. He selects a single person, it doesn't matter who, and forces them to kneel in front of you. He hands you a gun as he and his men, twelve of them with weapons, watch. He tells you: "Kill him and I'll spare the village. Do not kill him and I will kill the whole village and make you watch then kill you. What is the ethical response?"

I, of course, was all: "How many bullets does the gun have and what's the terrain look like? I might be able to kill enough to let the villagers overpower the rest."

That's wrong.

Killing a single person? That's wrong.

The correct, ETHICAL, answer is to do nothing. That way the blood is not on your hands but only on the hands of the people who did the killing. It's better to let them kill everyone in the village and you, than to take a human life. Their crimes do not reflect on you.

THERE'S where the thinking is coming from. See, it doesn't matter if they're part of the mob that breaks windows, burns down buildings, and kills people. See, that sin the burden of ONLY the people who DIRECTLY did the action. Not you. Your hands, morals, ethics are still clean and pure.

You didn't do anything, they did, and ethically, you can't be held responsible for what they do.

See how poisonous this shit is?

You know what would be more insidious? If that entire thought experiment was a reductio ad absurdum set up to push you towards the conclusion that everything bad that ever happens is society's fault because we didn't intervene to stop it. If you use something like that to strawman the idea of personal responsibility, it is easier to argue in favor of collective responsibility, that silence is complicity and everyone has to be a little inquisitor to stop the spread of "evil". Is that the path this prof took?

The funniest shit is that a decent portion of the movie is showing how all the different animals still judge each other for being different, rightfully so when the nigger in the story turns out to be a nigger (the fox).

Sure, they go all kambuyah and shit but that opening sticks out really hard compared to the rest of the movie.

 

[gata]

All these faggoty burials are such hollow shit.
black lives matter yet people only care when a black person is dead, I really want to shout how the government or mayor or the faggot protesters didn't give a shit about this guy when he's guzzling drugs and probably struggling with his life but when a whyte bluepig killed him, suddenly he's a fucking saint! I bet if he was killed by a black cop/someone else/drugs he would just be another statistic and the msn won't give a shit.
Don't get me wrong, people protesting about having justice and talking about police brutality for him is actually needed but it degraded into ret4rded whites vs black politics, shitty Catholic guilt like cult and bad actors fucking up the activism, that I'm sick of it and want none of it. Just stop.

It's funny, because the Asian/Pacific Islander cultural pride whatever month just finished (we're not even through the first week of June) and all my Asian-American leftist friends were like "STOP THE COVID-19 RACIST ASIAN HATE, SUPPORT LOCAL ASIAN BUSINESSES"

Then immediately after this shit show started it turned into "STOP ANTI-BLACKNESS IN THE ASIAN COMMUNITY, SUPPORT LOCAL BLACK BUSINESSES"

Meanwhile, some of your peoples trying to achieve the same American dream your ancestors did are in total ruin and will likely never recover.

Devastated Business Owner Likely Won’t Reopen After Looting

Hak Tong Kim watched in disbelief Sunday as City Fashion, a clothing store he opened nine years ago Bronzeville, was looted and ransacked Sunday. “I was so upset. I’m so sad,” said Kim, who stood in the broken window of his store for hours, a wrench in hand, pleading with looters to leave it...

You know... Something that really depresses me is that their gofundme, which is about them losing their goddamn livelihood to the rioters, still has a #justiceforgeorgefloyd hashtag at the bottom.

And while that could be them genuinely supporting the peaceful protesting, I cannot help but wonder if it's a cautionary action. Because a lot of people are doing that. They'll post a criticism of the riots, or of the damage to their homes or businesses, and they'll either do #justiceforgeorgefloyd or #blacklivesmatter or #alllivesdon'tmatteruntilblacklivesmatter or what the fuck ever.

To be perfectly fucking blunt, if I lost my home or business to a riot that started as a result of this Black Lives Matter business, I wouldn't be using their hashtags- I'd be barely resisting the urge to freak the fuck out on them on every single platform I had the chance to.

I get that these people may very well be earnest in their intentions or support (or deep enough into their cup of Kool-aid that they don't see the irony), but... it just comes off as weird and vaguely ass-covering to use these hashtags, like they're trying to deflect any more hostility by signaling "No, see? We're cool! We don't blame you for anything! We're still on your side, please don't attack us any further even though you've already destroyed something we worked so hard for."

IDK. I'm just really goddamn tired of people falling all over themselves to appease the mob. The cops should not be kneeling, the politicians should not be kneeling, and these vicious little malcontents should not be capitulated to in any way, shape, or form. When bad behavior is rewarded, it will inevitably repeat.
