    It's cool how genociding indigenous people isn't considered the behavior of savages.

      Not even that, but using bunker busters on civilian bomb shelters in Iraq, dropping nuclear missiles on civilians, etc.

      Genuinely barbaric behavior but because it was done with advanced technology it's cool

    "because you didn't understand property rights....."

    Another white bread motherfucker with no historical awareness of the enclosure acts.

      I’m reminded of a quote from the folding ideas NFT video

      “this wasn’t done before not because it wasn’t possible, but because it was undesirable”

        he targeted petty criminals instead of focusing on wealthy ones. tbh with the power he had it would have been almost trivial to successfully remake the world, my man fucked up real bad

          I was rewatching Death Note recently. Besides the obvious thoughts (the first fourth is the best, the two-parter with Naomi was by far the best part of the show), all I could think was about how interesting it would be if Light had actual politics

            completely agreed. i find i feel that way about a lot of things i thought were "smart" when i was a kid. looking at them now, so many of the shows and such i used to really enjoy feel almost hollow because they just don't have anything substantial to say about the world.

            (not that i don't enjoy them still ofc, i just find i'm always left wanting more)

    He’s awfully brave when he’s threatening a minority with almost zero ability to retaliate.

      It should be made legal to punch someone for being mean.

      Those brats would finally learn some respect if they lost a few teeth every time those snot-nosed punks stuck their tongue out at us.

        I'd support "talk shit get hit" legislation, if only there was some way to prevent chuds from using it by saying it is "mean" for two men to hold hands in public, or whatever.

          Kinda surprised that boomers think that having a short fuse and getting angry when someone disrespects you: ergo, "taking no guff from anyone" is a sign of lack of manliness. Yeah, I have nothing but a burning hatred for stupid and annoying people, if that means I can't be a macho macho meathead, then you can call me fucking Astolfo the femboy UwU.

          "Your honor, as you can clearly see by the names he called me as I was simply minding my own business, he was clearly cruisin' for a bruisin'. I rest my case."

            Toxic masculinity tends to have pretenses of being invincible and powerful, but is instantly destroyed if "The Wife" makes them buy feminine hygiene products at the store.

    I don't consider the vast majority of white Americans to be human beings, they are a species of demon.

    Comfortable white dudes with media careers are truly the most oppressed people in America. When I say white dudes "were a mistake" (A reference to troll quote of Hayao Miyazaki) this is exact type of dude I'm talking about.

    Think about the amount of leather you have to lick to get to a position to say this on some dumpy-ass Glenn Beck spin-off. Was it worth it dude? Debasing yourself on some D-tier network is gonna get you so much pussy dude. What an absoulte baffoon.

      When an aging edgelord comedian gets criticism for his unchanged 90s set being boring and stale, he has to put "CENSORED!" tape on his mouth on promotional material and rake in chud bucks after doing so, which is oppression.

    That was Ayn Rand's take, too.

    No surprise that she had the hots for a particularly disturbing serial killer.

    Manifest Destiny is only slightly less paternalizing than the white man's burden and to have a white guy lecture you on it is like... dials it to 11.
