@Jazzy_Butts it's a really great channel to follow.
They recently had a video about a NY Republican (who was previously arrested for corruption, surprise surprise) getting caught with "1,000 videos" of "stuff".
Of course, not a peep about this from the "anti-woke" "right-wing" crowd...

@Jazzy_Butts I'm subbed to this channel, and since the start of the month of April there have been at least 4 cases of women engaging in (most likely consensual) acts with children under the age of 15.
1.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvmmLTKmDAE&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
2.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wCoFehyaXk&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
3.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is11au5JcC8&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
4.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuY_nN_hcE&ab_channel=Law%26CrimeNetwork
In another case, a female daycare staffer was molesting toddlers, but I don't know if the evidence is it was consensual. She ended up getting only 90 days in jail.

That's 4 or 5 cases that this channel has covered in just 7 days. How crazy is that???!?! On average 1 case every 2-ish days.
@matrix "Opportunism". yeah, it's a reason I only voted for Trump once and was almost immediately disappointed and vowed "never again". The person interviewed in that Salon article hasn't changed their opinions since 2016. If anything, those opinions have been reinforced by what has happened since (https://marianamazzucato.com/books/mission-economy/).
I was writing a response to each individual point you made until I realised that your whole argument is that DEI is (anti-white) racist, but you're totally NOT racist, even though you say things like "empathy one should have for children misplaced towards "oppressed" people" and "There is no pragmatic reason for subsidizing an unproductive group while also opposing ways of filtering out the productive ones".
You're an implicit racist, essentially.
> "Guarding against third worldism". You just said "China and Bumfuckistan aren't right either, but they don't give a fuck that they aren't" as a defense of the "might makes right"/"right makes might" "unfortunate reality".
> "Many of the failures of C(r)apitalism are because of gubmint or don't even matter". Austrian schoolers gonna Austrian school...
Yeah, I know, I apologize for the Reddit comments, but I do think these apply here.
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net nothing to get.
Just two gay niggers from outerspace looking at each other.
@matrix Richard Hanania is a guy who changes his opinion every few months. He is an opportunist first and foremost. He thinks of himself as an "elitist" in the same way that Richard Spencer (who positively reviewed Cofnas' piece) does, or Claire Lehmann (who left a comment saying "terrific article!") does, or Cofnas does. They are all the same. Me reading a Richard Hanania article is not going to convince me of anything, except convince me that I was right to disagree with Cofnas.
"Sometimes it's self-hate". It is not self-hate in this case. It was enlightenment, rationalistic pragmatic thinking. DEI came about before "woke" shit or BLM stuff or whatever.
Lol. So because someone is engaging in racially motivated crime, you're blaming White liberals? If White people engage in racially motivated crimes, is that also the fault of White liberals? Sounds like you just don't like WASPs...
"They are the same". Clearly you were projecting when you said I made up a strawman. Trust me when I say the current liberal elite are well-aware of the nuances of "diversity". They play one group against the other all the time!
Of course they have feelings of kinship. They are a minority. You can't expect minorities not to stick to each other. Jfc, this is sociology 1-0-1.
So, in your mind, Trumpian nepotism is better than DEI, even though both in the end have the same results? You think Trumpian nepotism is "neutral"? Again, I'd say Trumpian nepotism is worse.
"There's a difference between the two, even if both weren't hired on merit" susdog.meme. "You can't have a presidency that doesn't support anti-white discrimination and also isn't full of presidential dick-suckers". So you're saying a "pro-White" presidency is naturally not meritocratic in any way?
WASPs aren't pro-diversity to the same degree you think, so having an "idealogical stooge" would actually be less nepotistic than having a "White dick-sucker".
Also, being "pro-White" is also an ideology, just like being pro-DEI. The whole argument for being "pro-White" was a "return to meritocracy". Hundreds of articles were written about this.
"China or some warlord in Bumfuckistan". So you hate the Turd world, but look at them and want to do the same thing? How ironic. Import turd world ideas, become the turd world, no?
"You gotta show me some"
Come the fuck on. This article is from 2016, right after the election. There are hundreds of similar articles, from left-wing and right-wing publications. There are dozens of studies.

Just got back from another trip to the bar with friends (5+ pints).
Met a liberal guy from uni who I haven't seen in years and years.
He has a Turkish girlfriend, and we were talking about Turkish domestic politics (protests) but also the irony that Turkey, regardless of whether Erdogan or the opposition is in power, would still pursue a Turkish expansionist policy in the region.
Also it was funny, my friend introduced me to the other friend's girlfriend by calling me a "that Fascist guy from uni".
Fun.

@matrix right now I'm kinda inebriated, but I'll try to answer...
> Richard Hanania. I literally don't have to say any more than that.
> Egalitarianism is utopian but fake "meritocracy" is not.... Egalitarianism is not fueld by ethnic resentment. The originators of egalitarian policy were lilly White European elites (WASPs) who knew they were elite (elite liberals). You're talking about "the oppressed" as if they're a monolithic, which is false. If both require "yes men" and both promote "diversity" then I'd rather have the former than the latter.
> "There is no irony. You see it simply because you've built a strawman". Absolute LOL moment. Trump says that he was bringing back (fake) "meritocracy" because DEI was harmful for efficiency/effectiveness of governance. If there is no difference between the two, why change from DEI?
> "It's not feasible to have right without might". The point is Cofnas is not "right", ergo he doesn't deserve the "might" that comes with it (not that his side has it anymore anyways).
> "There's no reason to blame C(r)apitalism". There is EVERY reason to blame C(r)apitalism.
> Heritage Foundation. It's as good a representation of Cofnas' shitty arguments as any. HF literally huffs their own farts and then passes it off as "independent study".
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net
The one and only!
Daily reminder that he was killed because of a leadership struggle and because he wanted the National Socialists to be more Socialists instead of Nationalists, not becauase he was gay.
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net it makes sense when, as I said, you aknowledge the contradictions lying at the center of Neo-Nazi ideology.
If the ideology is contradictory, then it's actually consistent that there'd be people who otherwise are considered "Untermensch" who follow it.
Many things that this graph shows.
1.) FDR/Truman progressive "New Deal" policies gave the U.S. the highest economic growth it ever saw. No Republican or Democrat "neoliberal" or otherwise ever comes close.
2.) The economy under Republicans generally tends to fall during their second terms (if they get one). Furthermore, the growth that they experience in their first terms is also generally dwarfed by their Democrat successor in their first term.
3.) Democrats generally do better on the economy in their second term (if they get one). There is no fall-off.
4.) The economic growth observed under Democrat administrations during the "neoliberal" era is most likely less due to deregulation and more due to raising taxes on the wealthy and investing in social services.
During the FDR/Truman era, taxes on the wealthy were very high, and the investing in social services/protections for workers was also very high. The economy had very high levels of growth.
While there was growth in the Clinton/Obama eras, there possibly could have been more if they were even more progressive.
In fact, some argue that Bill Clinton's deregulations (championed by right-wing economists and hated by progressive "New Deal"'ers) directly helped facilitate the recession of '07-'09 (which itself occured under Bush's second term mismanagement).
Tl;Dr: Keynes was right.
Keyenes also was bi and liked people on the younger side. Wow! Pedos getting tired of winning here...
@Jazzy_Butts "Another dictator throws them into a frenzy"
Before the outbreak of WW2, Hitler had Dollfuss (the Austrian Fascist dictator) assassinated.
Mussolini actually threatened to invade Germany with an Italian army if Hitler annexed Austria.
@Jazzy_Butts @bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net
Most Neo-Nazi beliefs are contradictory, so ironically, it makes sense that there'd be gay/trans Neo-Nazis among other contradictory identities.
They're (I think) engaging in extremism (Neo-Nazism) out of self-hatred and/or a desire to "fit in", which is very common nowadays.
My recent post about John Smyth touches on this. He was (privately) gay but promoted "Muscular Christianity" and was vehemently anti-gay in his public rhetoric. He ended up abusing over 100 boys and young men, telling them while he was doing it that he was "purging" them and himself of "sin".
@bulky_nerd@fedi.yesmap.net It's just out of racial hatred, nothing more. Upon closer inspection, it is contradictory (like most of the tenets of Neo-Nazism).
@matrix when I say "led to Trump", I'm not just talking about his recent election.
I'm talking about all the way back in 2015/16 and his campaign in 2020.
> "Better in principle" but not in practice, ergo, it doesn't work in "reality" (Cofnas is obsessed with "living in reality")
> "False dichotomy" I didn't say it was an either or. I said that one is better to pursue than the other, just looking at it objectively. I'd rather have a society that prides itself on "egalitarianism" than one based on "yes men" (Trump's "yes men" are also very "diverse" as well, which is an irony in of itself).
> "Might makes right". This theory is cancerous nonsense that never works out long-term (the "mighty" always fall, either due to their own hubris or due to their victims ganging up on them). "Unfortunate reality" my ass. It's the "reality" that sociopaths made and then sold to their people to try and justify their behavior.
> "Depends on elites". Cofnas is saying that he supports elites who want to perpetuate the very same system that led to Trump in the first place (unequal C(r)apitalism), thereby repeating the same cycle. Hardly "elites" worth supporting for their "care for society" nor "elites" with good, forward-thinking ideas. If anything, they are backward-thinking. Those same "elites" were dragged before the guillotine in France for being secret Royalists. Foreshadowing?
> "The implication...". He is against Trump, then for Trump, then against him, then for him, then against... As I wrote earlier, he wants to perpetuate the system that we have now. Trump, in his view, wants to destroy the system. Both are bad, obviously. But there is nothing here about "reform" or "fixing" the problem. THAT is the issue. The system needs to be reformed so that the ordinary man can benefit again (like under FDR; a "New Deal"). Cofnas argues that just revert to "default" and go back to Reaganism (under "high IQ C(r)apitalists") will solve the issues (even though Reaganism destroyed the American economy and society in the long-term).
> "Objectively that's simply false". This is like Stephen Pinker saying violent conflicts have decreased and then cooking the numbers and refusing to give a concrete definition of "violence" to suit his thesis. "Source: Heritage Foundation", I mean come the fuck on.
Even then, any "good" that has happened in the last 50 + years has been brought about by (some) Democrats regulating the excesses of C(r)apitalism, not because of Republicans removing regulation and making the market more pro-C(r)apitalist and libertarian-oriented (Thiel/Musk axis).
Even though it's impossible to deny it, Sky News wants to instill doubt in the viewer over whether it was actually the IDF who butchered the medics...
