I mean I disagree with your opinion.

Slashdot:

I was listening to Joe Rogan the other day, and his guest (Lindsay was the last name, don’t remember the first name) made a pretty good point: “Woke” people appear to themselves be racist, which they know is wrong and they’re battling their inner demons. This manifests in the form of them trying to aggressively stamp out anything that even appears to be racist, even when there isn’t any known connection to racism. He compared them to Calvinists, who were doing everything they could to stamp out sin, which eventually lead to witch burning. In other words, people being so caught up in their crusade against their own inner demons that they see their own inner demons in other people, and they do irrational things without asking themselves whether this is all in their heads.

Right now this is just a moral panic, but who knows how far it will go. For the time being, words are the witches that they’re burning. It is expanding into the territory of saying that somebody is either racist or anti-racist and that there can’t be anything in between (which is ridiculous) with anti-racism being that you must be on a crusade of your own to find and stamp out racism in otherwise benign things (like master bedrooms.) I’d be a bit concerned when people start getting excommunicated (fired from their jobs) for not being able to prove that they’re anti-racist as that can cause real economic harm. So long as vaguely defined things like hate speech aren’t criminalized, there shouldn’t be any burnings, though that doesn’t preclude lynch mobs. And no, lynch mobs weren’t just a racism thing, they also targeted witches. You know, torches and pitchforks.

@alex @sev @shebang I don't know how accurate it is, but findlatitudeandlongitude dot com has an "antipodes map" that might be useful for a quick guess of what's on the opposite side of the planet.

It shows SoCal's opposite to be the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar and shows Sweden's opposite to be about halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica.

i know it's wrong, but i unironically believe that casey is a nazi. not like a new neo-nazi, but that in the late 1930's casey rollins - real name karl nöllins - was a member of the NSDAP.

@alex @realcaseyrollins I've heard that before. Frankly, the idea that all Black Americans should have a common set of values, beliefs, and political preferences is idiotic. If we live in different communities, have different personal histories, pursue different occupations, and interact with different people, it is only natural that we will hold different beliefs.

Are we afraid to speak up about the beliefs that differ from the stereotyped Black Demo-Left-Lib? Or are we just not thinking on our own and allowing the "Black leaders" and Black organizations trade our votes for some unnamed concession?

@realdonaldtrump Heh y'all thought I was a fan of everything 's done while president? Wrong, bucko! There's a lot of stuff he needed to do that he hasn't done yet.

If the shooting actually started when the looting started I guarantee you there wouldn't be civil unrest today.
