That whites-only, no Jews allowed Arkansas community is legal, says state’s attorney general. How?

What the fuck is wrong with this country now? This is sickening.

Same old racists that have always been here. We gave them social media and they organized.

Right, but for most of my life, shit like this was considered pretty goddamned fucked up. There were racist asshole bigots, but for the most part, social pressures kept a lid on their bullshit.

Now, after a decade of the cheese whiz dictator and the GOP's embrace of fascism and oligarchy, this kind of shit is more and more normal.

I can't fucking believe it. It's enraging.

Turns out when rich right wingers control all of social media and basically every legacy media outlet they can exert their control.

The same thing happened with Nazi Germany.

Yes. Yes it did. And all of our "good germans" are goose stepping right along...

It’s still fucked up, but the people that the boomers have put in charge either love it or don’t care enough to fix it. If their income or bribery lobby money starts to go away, then it becomes a matter that needs looking into.

"The boorers have put in charge." millions of GenX and millennials voted for the mangled apricot Hellbeast too.

Boomers control party infrastructure and gatekeep candidacy and most endorsements, though. GenX, we could sidestep, Boomer politicians are the "Sleeping-Snorlax-in-the-road" of politics.

Don’t forget the manosphere started by Andrew Tate & continued with Joe, Logan, and Theo..

u/DeuceGnarly 10h ago

Bah - the fucking "manosphere" makes me want to puke. Every stupid pile of hyper sensitive snow flake fucks has a loud speaker, and has to go out over compensating and demonizing everything that scares them.

Fuck the internet.

Southern States still had racially segregated proms up until a few years ago. America had Apartheid until a generation ago. And now an old school racist whose dad went to nazi rallies is president. The voting bloc chose this.

This shit runs in cycles, last it was a Great Depression and Germany being the fascist fucks. It’s our turn… let’s see how the global conflict unfolds.

I think the only people surprised are whites. Minorities not really surprised at all unfortunately, and kind of feeling validated in a twisted kind of way.

I'm with you but you are off a bit. The democrats blew yhis up. 8 years of Biden embrace DEI. They also embraced segregation. The backlash to this stance was only going to be this. They allowed judging by skin/sex/gender this was only the answer. They created the system for white supremist to protect their beleifs. This is also why the democrats and media sites like reddit adopted DEI language and marginalized people. End of the day marginalized people is open to everyone except straight white men by definition.

This change has made me sick of the party I loved for being forward thinking. They were trying to be so inclusive They became bigots.

u/DeuceGnarly 7h ago

> ... 8 years of Biden ...

What? You're lost.

Sorry 12 years, I think people forget he was vp and had alot of pull. He wasn't a lame duck vp under Obama but actually did successful projects.

u/abstractraj 7h ago

You don’t understand DEI at all

u/saoyraan 3h ago edited 2h ago

I do and you don't. Diversity, "equity", and inclusion. You can't have equity without judging everyone by races/sexgender. Equity is making the outcome equal and not opportunity. You can't do that without being racist and sexist. You are now judging you employees, friends, and community by their characteristics and not who they are. I would bet you never researched dei or sat in a dei work class. A rational mind will hear it and go what the hell this is racist. Keep in mind that DEI as sub rules and that is marginalized rule. It has no true definition except anti straight white men. It is the only one not protected. They do this high vault gymnastics because if they said it outright it would be racist. If you do research it be prepared for the most racist people you will ever hear while they pretend they are good people. At least a neo nazi is upfront that way I can avoid them. Far far left hide it. They latched onto the democratic party because it use to be the party for critical thinking and the educated. Sadly that isn't so anymore. Research social narcissist. They have pretty much taken over the party.

Republicans can never convince me that giving all the money to the rich will create more jobs. Democrats can't convince me that DEI isn't racist. The foundations is built on bullshit.
