It started in the 1930s?
There’s a lot to hate about Obama but there is one thing he did establish that Malcolm X would nod grimly at; something that may justify his inclusion on a wall of revolutionaries:
Even if a black man who becomes President rules the country like a moderate Republican and is the absolute exemplar of their Christian values, he won’t be accepted by the majority of white men. Not only that, they will churn themselves into a frenzy of over-reaction. They will elect a new Hitler just to make themselves feel better. They will lose their goddamn minds like rabid animals, like their grandparents who took their kids to see lynchings and get photographed next to the naked, brutalised corpse.
This point could not have been demonstrated if Obama had not done everything to dance to their tune.
It demonstrates the sheer self-destructive, nihilistic racism inherent in the American system. It shows that electoral politics is not going to fix it.
Obama did not mean to do this. Many revolutionary figures do not. And he did not suffer like the others. So it’s still a questionable choice, but perhaps not an indefensible one.
Heh, clam.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT MAKE POTATO SALAD FOR FOUR YEARS
Very good point. It is a noble hole.

Butt holes have a positive function, I do not agree with being that kind to our centuries.

Does that sound like following the rigid steps of the Buddha is a tenet of Buddhism?
Wow, you really like Contra.

13·1 day agoWhy didn’t you buy one with a lower height but the same load capacity? Safer and makes loading stuff easier.
Us Australians look at weird American raised utes and scratch our heads in puzzlement. You’ve got a higher driver position, granted, but it’s also a higher centre of gravity, it’s harder to park in garages and underground car parks, it’s harder to see pedestrians, it’s harder to load stuff into the tray, etc.
You clearly aren’t just driving it to look pretty, like many people that we both probably get annoyed by. What’s the story?

4·1 day agoBuddhism. Gnostic Christianity. Hinduism. Probably a whole bunch more, I’m no theologian.
The hideousflaw in the post you’re replying to isn’t that, though. It’s the idea that Israel invented Judaism, that Judaism is a monolith, that Israel is run on Jewish lines, and that Jews everywhere look to Israel for leadership.
That’s some fucked-up thinking there. That thinking sucks.

2·1 day agoWhy not use a smaller bomb, when the option exists? Or targeted assassination? Or drones? Using a megaton nuke seems unwarranted. Palestinians in the West Bank live within a rifle-shot of the evil settlers shooting them with rifles. Seems like you’re willing to accept the deaths of the people you claim to want to protect as collateral damage.

84·2 days agoI will censor Nazis from my own sight sometimes if I want to, yeah. They can be very tiresome. But I don’t like anyone else making those choices for me. Harder to punch what you can’t see.
Edit: and of course this current brouhaha with some admins wanting to censor tankies, Zionists, anti-Zionists, MLs, etc, makes it all worse. That’s what’s ruining Reddit right now, just with different politics.
I share beliefs with lots of different political movements. I see it as important to discuss these things. It’s how we get to the truth.
Yeah, he didn’t pay her.
