A little long but it set up the punchline at the very end so nicely

“Take your bloody time”

Lmao ya fucking britbong

They probably meant liberal identity politics

Extremely racist.

Damn, thanks for the detailed post

I really liked the hbomberguy vid you linked. I’ve always thought it was liberals’ idpol that pushed corporations to evolve and adapt but it totally makes sense that it could’ve been the other way around where corporations pushed extreme idpol to push their crap by associating them with identities

Never used really used tumblr or 4chan so that bit was insightful too

Interesting opinion, do you have examples that show it was originally co-opted by opportunists trying to make money? Obviously the black and rainbow logos once a month every year by corporations are examples of it being co-opted but was that how liberal idpol came to be originally?

My personal opinion on how it started was the same but originally became the atrocity it is now because the liberals don’t actually know how to solve the root of the issues (capitalism) and so everything idpol just ended up being band-aids to make the symptoms look prettier

E.g. Instead of improving the conditions of poor neighborhoods, education, etc. so people from low income families have a chance, they enact affirmative action partially because black and hispanic are more likely to be poor to “level out the playing field”. But because it’s just a shitty liberal solution, white women and rich black and hispanic people benefit the most from it instead of the poor because still having a poor education and childhood can’t just simply be fixed by a simple 0.6 GPA boost or w/e when applying to college

Meanwhile China does affirmative action AND raises the living conditions for their minorities by actually pumping resources into autonomous regions

It’s probably because he’s really reactionary in some ways like his really brutal anti-drug laws and punishments

But everybody understands how economically exploited countries like Iran, Syria, or Iraq (who never get shit on) can’t be expected to be more socially progressive than developed countries

Weird how some people will single out Russia and Duterte for some reason

Kim invited Red Velvet to perform because he’s a huge fan

Gaddafi

Thanks for saying this, I totally agree though it’s a bit harder for me to have such a strong stance on the topic because I don’t research China nor do I live there so my knowledge is just from visiting there often the past few decades

Can I ask what you see that’s over-glorifying or over-idealising?

For me, I see people way overestimating the quality of life in China overall, underestimating how poor the rural regions are, and underestimate how good the West has it in many areas (work/career life for highly educated/skilled workers, cost/availability of many goods and services, etc.)

yea bots are terrible b/c without that human aspect, people are gonna be much less likely to give it any time and even if they do, they’re not gonna trust it at all lol
