50k raised for her legal fund in only a few hours

People are so dumb, so naive, and so gullible to be made to believe that the confederate flag somehow degrades black lives when all you need to do is tune into World Star Hip Hop and watch as black people degrade themselves on a constant basis.


World Star Hip Hop right now:

Rick Ross, a major star in hip hop, was recently arrested for kidnapping and pistol whipping his groundskeeper.

Instead of pointing at the Confederate flag and blaming it for racism, how about they point the finger at the idolized heros of millions of black youth and, dare I say, suggest that the role models they uplift are the ones holding them back?


People do not think.


We, the intelligent, are surrounded by retards.

[bigzz786786]

Honestly, this makes no difference in terms of peoples views and personal opinions. You can huff and puff and say what you want, but nothing is going to change. No matter how far forward the USA pushes, there is still a huge amount of people whose personal opinions and idealism are stuck in the past and will keep teaching the ways of the old for generations to come.


But personally i dont give a shit.

And we the Canadians just dont care.


As a masculine male it is your duty to stand up to the insanity of blue haired fat bitches and feminized men who promote social justice.


Justice comes in the form of laws and courtrooms, not in the streets, dictated by a mob of baying fucking retards.

50k raised for her legal fund in only a few hours



Maybe they should have raised 50k to help black single mothers. Maybe they should have raised 50k for scholarships for black kids who can't afford college. This flavour of the month Facebook activism is pathetic. These people only give a fuck about it because they want to feel like part of the cool kids. Everybody who speaks like they are such a massive part of the solution online, won't admit they were ever part of the problem. Its frustrating to watch. Do good things for people in real life, not just so you can look like you are saving the world on Facebook.

[Lomac]

I'll agree that there's a lot of "social justice" (or whatever other name it goes by) that annoys me. It screams "Me too!" whenever I saw a post on FB or Twitter that was about Kony, ALS, etc., etc. When it comes to that whole gay pride thing, seeing everyone change their avatars to a rainbow coloured whatever annoyed me. At least with someone like George Takai, he's been firmly about change from Day One, so I'm more than happy to see him pursue that course. However, seeing someone do a one or two day "I'm helping!" post and then completely forget about it the next day... well, that just shows you're in it for the attention, not because you genuinely want to help.

[bigzz786786]

Although harsh, what you say is true. The world has become a single social network, and with a wagon that big, theres sure to see a large number of people to jump on it.

[multicartual]

Since I posted this half an hour ago, the fund has increased another $7,000.

[El Dumbasso]

I hate to say it, but I'd have to agree here - at least in part (though it's easy to find common ground in hating social justice warriors). The idea that taking a flag down is doing anything to "defend black lives" is laughable. It's as if they believe that flying the confederate flag means it's open season to shoot black people, and taking it down will suddenly solve all of the race issues in the south.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/dumbass/daswacist.png

While we're on the subject of the "Southern Cross"... I will probably be considered a racist and put on some watchlist saying this, but it seems the vast majority of people misinterpret its meaning based on the overly simplified (and flat-out wrong) view that the Civil War was the result of sympathetic Northerners fighting to free the slaves.
To my understanding, the Civil War was the result of an inability to effectively manage and balance out a country with two separate economies (manufacturing in the North, agriculture in the South - durr). Slavery was mainly a point of contention among Northerners because any new slave states would automatically become agrarian states and tip the balance of power to the south. Hell, the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't issued until a couple years into the war, and it was met with riots in the North (and I won't even get into how badly cocked-up emancipation actually played out).
With that in mind, those flying the confederate flag are (for the most part) saying "fuck the north", not "I want to own black people".

However
With all that said, you would also have to be stupid or at least extremely insensitive to the fact to many people the flag is emblematic of a time and a place of intense human suffering. Flying it any government building is just plain bad PR.

Now that I've completely gone off the rails, I should probably get back to the topic at hand.
This is where I disagree with Multi: I think the violence associated with hip hop culture is more a result of ongoing violence than a cause. I wholeheartedly agree that glorifying gang violence is only making the problem worse. However, I'd say it's a reciprocal issue that stems from centuries of inequality, and to say "it's all the hippity hop music making them shoot each other" is as much of an oversimplification as saying "everyone who owns a confederate flag wants to own a slave".

Well that was a wall of text that essentially went nowhere...

Yes but with that same logic, why is The Flag Shop still selling the Japanese Rising Sun flag that may remind Chinese people of the rape of Nanking?


First Nations people look at the Canadian flag and remember it flew over the residential schools that raped and killed indians by the tens of thousands.

If a native person tore down a Canadian flag from a government building would they be as celebrated as a black person ripping down the Confederate flag?


We live in a time of absolute insanity. Say what you want about the 1950's, but looking back leads me to believe that western culture peaked and is in a strong decline.

I may be splitting hairs here, but there might be a bit more public accountability needed on the part of a state legislature than a private company selling flags to weebs. Were the Japanese government flying the Rising Sun, that'd be a different story altogether.

First Nations people look at the Canadian flag and remember it flew over the residential schools that raped and killed indians by the tens of thousands.
I definitely see where you're coming from here. The main point of my argument is not that it's wrong and immoral to fly it, just that it's terrible PR due to its negative associations in the majority of the public - like the swastika (not the Nazi flag, the symbol itself) or Charlie Chaplain's mustache.

If a native person tore down a Canadian flag from a government building would they be as celebrated as a black person ripping down the Confederate flag?
I honestly don't believe they would be. Many Canadians try to forget or ignore the injustices towards First Nations on our own soil. Despite obvious comparisons to be drawn between our First Nations and African Americans in the States (including substance abuse, incarceration rates etc.), the issues are often swept under the rug. I remember the bit we learned on Residential Schools in high school history classes being along the lines of: "So these happened, they were bad... Moving along!" All the while, lingering much longer on the American Civil War.

We live in a time of absolute insanity. Say what you want about the 1950's, but looking back leads me to believe that western culture peaked and is in a strong decline.

I also like being white.

[StylinRed]

Yes but with that same logic, why is The Flag Shop still selling the Japanese Rising Sun flag that may remind Chinese people of the rape of Nanking? Those affected by nanjing (a disputed number) is small in comparison to slavery in the US both in size and time.

Also is the flag being sold in china? or is there a huge population of chinese in japan who were affected by said incident, and are against it's sale/use within japan? (no)

Having said that though, that flag is still in use today or variations of it, and it's not like it's use isn't being protested in China/Hong Kong/ or even within Japan...it's an ongoing battle to cease that flags use, but given China and Japans rocky relations, I do not see it disappearing.


First Nations people look at the Canadian flag and remember it flew over the residential schools that raped and killed indians by the tens of thousands.


Another issue of scale, it can't compare to the issues of slavery in the US. Having said that though the 'Maple Leaf' Canadian flag itself didn't and doesn't represent slavery or oppression against natives as the confederate flag did and was/is being used as, the Red Ensign or Union Jack may be considered as such though

so you can't really compare the two, imo, but I wouldn't be against any First Nations who protest against Canada, and I think most Canadians would say the same, as has been demonstrated, aside from the asshats that like to look down on/complain about them



2 wrongs don't make a right...

I may be splitting hairs here, but there might be a bit more public accountability needed on the part of a state legislature than a private company selling flags to weebs. Were the Japanese government flying the Rising Sun, that'd be a different story altogether.

She’s my instant hero

You pick heroes like you pick your coffee?

BREE NEWSOME should be the woman’s face on the new $10 bill. A courageous woman of our time!

Yeah, fuck Harriet Tubman and the lazy ass she was!

This was heroic. Bree displayed undaunted moral and physical courage. She performed her protest responsibly and respectfully, the latter being no small feat given the issues and situation

Yup, look at how many invisible lives she saved! Damn inanimate objects...

Thank you Bree and James for your peaceful but forceful act. By lowering one racist, wrong and cowardly flag, you’ve raised a million united, right and brave voices. May peace and justice be with you, always!

New math, people. 1 flag = 1 million voices

Thank you! You are a inspiration! The world is a better place because you are in it. Light and Laughter,

Yup, people in Somalia are dancing, holding hands and shouting PEACE, LOVE and SOUUUUUUULLLLL

Thank YOU for putting up a way to actually help. It is hard on the sidelines feeling stymied to do anything but support, loudly and often!

Clearly, you've never helped anyone physically, dumbass

Thank you, Bree, for your brave and righteous act. Hope the little I have to give now helps!

Probably could have fed numerous local mouths with the 'little' you gave

Thank you to Bree Newsom for having the courage to do what so many of us know is long over due. Give the politicians in SC a reason to act…they know the Confederate flag symbolizes slavery, oppression and rebellion. It’s not a value Americans should display or recognize in our public sector. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yeah, it's hard enough dealing with a Corporatocracy

Your are my HERO!!!! Thank you! #BlackGirlsRock

[Tone Loc]

Welcome to hacktivism.

Where people act like they give a fuck about the newest social issue for the sole purpose of looking like they give a fuck. All so they can look like some progressive social justice wizard and surround each other in one big circle-jerk of pretending to care about social issues when all they really care about is being part of the "in" crowd.

It's all part of the attention-whore validation fest that is social media. Millions of voices screaming "validate me!" in an online realm instead of going out there to do things and make real change.

[Hehe]

I think I agree with multicartual to a certain extend.

This whole social justice thing is getting out of control. We are literally at a stage where if you go against the ideology of the majority of population, you are fucking wrong.

However, who is it to decide what is right or wrong? The God? a judge? Either of these cases implies that we leave the decision to a very wise person with great amount of wisdom and/or knowledge to analyze something impartially and objectively. But now, if you have an idea that's enough to motivate a good amount of followers, does that make it right? No.

And the people who blindly follow the trend without any self opinion or discipline absolutely sickens me. I have this acquittance on FB, who used to talk shit/make fun of gay people just applied the fucking rainbow on his FB profile pic. I almost puked.

[falcon]

Social justice warriors always talk about CIS white male privilege. Damn right if everyone makes a big deal out of it I'll use it to the max. I'll be honest, probably the main reason I got my current job was because I am an educated mid 20's white male. Is it right in the grand scheme? No not really. But it's a jungle out there and if you can, take every advantage you have over the competition and run with it. Does who I was born to make me a bad person? No.

[multicartual]

"CIS white male privilege" is simple.


White, heterosexual masculine males had a culture based on judeo-christian values that allowed them to exploit and change the world around them, building nations and shaping western dominance.


If we stayed true to our Judeo-Christian values, we would quickly and strongly move to protect the environment, bolster the nuclear man-woman family, and encourage a stronger sense of morality to lessen financial inequality.


Jesus said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven."


Teachings like this are important, as the hording of wealth over your fellow human being are one of the major reasons our culture and country are so fucked. The adoration of the rich and famous have lead us to stop caring about the collective future of our species and brings us to the point where you people will see everyone bandwagon-jumping on the latest social craze just to feel a part of something.


In reality, people are feeding into behaviors that are ignoring the major problems coming our way to just feel good in the moment.*


*One of the reasons I've quit weed and my other self-absorbed behaviors is to show I'm not the type to tell others to "Do as I say, not as I do."

[multicartual]

On a global scale, I have no idea what to do to avert total environmental disaster in the near future.


On a local scale, I've been thinking of abandoning the city and finding a nice place to have a hobby farm on Vancouver Island.


Social justice is partially a result of our inequalities, and living in Vancouver I'm exposed to the most extreme examples when I walk out of my $2450 a month Gastown loft and witness countless bums sleeping among feces, urine, needles, rats, litter and vomit.


To think this could happen in a first world country, in 2015, leads me to believe shit is going in the opposite direction of progress.


Gays being able to hijack the normal family structure is not progress, it is feel good ego-stroking, much like the pride parade.


Shouldn't life be more focused on lifting up your fellow man rather than bending him over?

The problem is, many people on the left wing view you as an enemy and someone to constantly attack with accusations of "privilege" as if you didn't work hard for your achievements in life. If you think communists gave up after the cold war, think again. They changed faces.


Same goes for slavery. If you ask the average person if slavery exists, they will say "no, of course not!"

Pray tell, why is it that arrogance and outright narcissism is rewarded within the gay community?

Why is it that an LGBT young scientist or humanitarian, or environmentalist can't be the youth ambassador to show that LGBT people are just like us?


Maybe they're not.


Maybe many LGBT people are extremely selfish and constantly aggrandizing their way of life, the opposite of ISIS but to the same end: Total domination over society through their own form of cultural violence. Surrogate children being born to parents who would otherwise be unable to have children without a rent-a-womb while orphaned children go without homes. How many children are in the foster care system in America and Canada? Oh wait, those aren't infants so they're not fashionable to have. It isn't enough of a statement to them.


If you worked with a gay person who acted like Brendan Jordan, you couldn't even suggest that their behavior annoyed you or you would seem like a bigot.


We used to view narcissism and vanity as terrible qualities, now they are uplifted as being "proud queens" who are lauded on places like YouTube for being so vocal and "out".


Do the research yourself. YouTubers are often gay and completely self-absorbed individuals, a product of our completely image-based culture.

That was horrific so to say the least.

because, in the beginning, most 'slaves' were brought to the US as servants, who would serve a set number of years before being let go and becoming full citizens with rights (be they black, white, asian, mixed), the problem is white employers wouldn't allow their black servants to go and forced them into slavery and the US courts agreed and set laws saying the black servants were owned for life, and the children of black slave women (be they the children of the masters or not) were 'born into slavery'...

also the majority of slaves came from western central africa, almost all it seems, where islam hadn't spread to and where the arab slave trade didn't seem to operate, but rather the spanish/dutch/english/african slavers operated. The arab slave trade dealt mostly with selling slaves to egypt, turkey etc. the Barbary pirates even captured slaves from Europe and North America to bring them back to the Arab world for sale

the attempt to blame the arab slavers only seemed to come in more recent years/decades to attempt to pass blame, most of that noise came from the tea party and fox news, but it doesn't seem to be accurate

Amen. I'm being put on blast for disagreeing with the idea of rainbowing display pictures and calling it ineffective. The result? People calling it "awareness". Has social justice changed to the point where you can consider yourself "part of the solution" by changing a display picture? Where was my anti Confederate flag overlay? My Freddie Gray justice overlay?

If putting a rainbow on my picture counts, then why don't I support the cause by drinking seven colours of Skittle vodka and throwing up the results? Would that count as "awareness" because I literally vomited rainbows?

For the record, I support the legalization 100%, but can't stand how people can think "me too" activism is making a change or bringing awareness. Posting the news articles is enough.

CiC literally believes the media and government can turn kids to become gay. Still fundamentally consider unconditional love as the best and only approach.

Some straight people can be affected. Case in point. 1 of 2 recent personal experiences.

I used to go to a church(yes a church) because it appeared most people were super nice. There was a young woman that had all the potential to be a child entertainer but the first warning sign was that she kissed the little kids really loud. This I let go but when I discovered a parent was not happy at all, it was concerning and she still continued the kissing. Next, I discovered there was a high chance she was bisexual. Let that go. Next was her actual purchased work. Never got a chance to ask her in detail a major part of it but one page was possibly very disrespectful. Personally would never let her alone with children and I am willing to sacrifice for surveillance and monitoring.

Anyways, I agree it won't affect me as I'm straight but what about those parents who might have to 50-60 hours/week each? Goddamnit, they took out this version of Lilith on google, where apparently she has an affinity for little children. But get this; the parents are unsuspecting(too busy?) and Lilith ends up in control!

I absolutely have no worries with my kid becoming gay because it won't happen. However, if my kid ever ends up going to the Boy Scouts, I have no choice but to spend a few hours monitoring, as gays are allowed to be Scout Leaders now. Wouldn't be surprised if one is a little too suspicious being a monitoring agent, could end up being ostracized with how LBGT influence is on the rise.

I feel sad, because I like some gays. Off to the strippers and the horrible jungle music!

You're asking me to become passive in our culture rather than active?






Broken clocks

what's so active about clicking on every single story like a soccer mom?

i know exactly what stories you are referencing but i don't need to click on them to know what it's about. i heard about the flag removing chick. i just don't care. 99% of the time i can tell you exactly what the article will say without clicking on it.

you are raging out about stuff you are directly consuming. everyone runs into random links where it's clearly click bait. that's all on top of normal stuff you're actually into.

if you're that internet stupid/addicted to literally click and read through every stupid story then you are the problem man.

we all have a filter. start using yours. i've had times where i was literally online 10+hours a day including work and being that "informed" of online events isn't a good thing.

you sound like a SJW when you talk about being active vs passive in this like it's a social justice war. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

[multicartual]

there really isnt a single way that LGBT people can affect you if you're straight


Uhhh... try a massive cultural shift?


LGBT people tend to be completely vain narcissists. The acceptance of this egoist behavior is rampant in our society as everyone now competes in this global popularity game that is so focused on hollow self-promotion of their own image.


Did you even see the article above stating that children raised by same-sex couples do worse in many areas of life?


This is exactly why I write about it. People are so, so, SO beyond ignorant to the incredible leftist push in our society because most dudes are distracting themselves from participating in their culture and society. We let homosexuals and women rule our social environments and then wonder why nearly everyone around us is a complete beta male or raging douchebag.


It is so hard for me to find peers because, like Jasonturbo had mentioned something along the lines of earlier:

"I play PS4, my guitar, fap, drive my cars... fuck it"

It is nearly impossible to find other men who are actually paying attention to the sweeping social changes that are going on and WILL absolutely affect us in time.

Here's a good example:

Sooooo... now we have "safety audits" of our nightlife locations?

Oh wait, that sounds ok... it is for the protection of women and homosexuals. No biggie, that is a good thing. Right?

Zero tolerance for "sexually aggressive, sexist, or homophobic behavior"


So... if you check out a girl's butt when she walks by and her fat friend notices, instead of just cock-blocking you, she could have you tossed out.

So... if some dude starts creeping on you on the dancefloor and you push him away or are rude to him... that could be seen as homophobia and you could be kicked out for it.

What defines "sexist" or "sexually aggressive"? It now becomes in the eye of the beholder. We, as straight men, are being systemically painted as creeps and weirdos if we do not conform to the narrow and limited social construct that leftists are aiming for.


harassment to the forefront


I thought going out was about socializing and having a good time? Glad that has to be policed by fucking women's studies students.

Naturally you fail at it because you cannot see that this trend of narcissism is increasing due to the obsession with self, which the LGBT community has truly mastered. Anti-"slut shaming" is a vein of vanity and narcissism that grew out of the promotion of deviant sexuality. The trend will only increase.

But hey... let's just all believe whatever we want?

Truth is, this is just the beginning and the infancy of a massive and unstoppable cultural shift, and I do not believe it is for the better.

here are some quotes taking from the journal you selected...did you even read it? lol

Where differences that could be construed as disadvantageous to children have been detected between
samples of same-sex parented families and heterosexual couple families these need to be kept in
perspective. With regard to the one large study thus far that has detected harms to children raised
in same-sex parented families, the fact that the analysis does not take into account the children’s
experience of their parents’ separation and divorce is a serious methodological flaw

Law- and policy-makers in Australia have already made use of the considerable research evidence that
demonstrates children in planned lesbian parent families do as well psychologically and sometimes
better than children in heterosexual parented families. For example, findings from earlier reviews of this
body of literature were taken into account in recommending extending the eligibility criteria for access
to clinical donor insemination to lesbian couples in the State of Victoria, in addition to amending the
Status of Children Act to make children’s parentage clearer in cases where lesbian couples use donor
insemination to conceive (see Victorian Law Reform Commission, 2007). A remaining area of state and
territory based legal inequity involves access to adoption rights for same-sex couples.



even then, the point of whether or not homosexuals make good parents vs. hetereosexual parents is irrelevant and a red herring. shitty parents are shitty parents regardless of orientation and the inverse is true as well

[Soundy]

Excuse me, but WTF is going on in here?

[multicartual]

here are some quotes taking from the journal you selected...did you even read it? lol



Yes, of course, I firmly believe that the overall results show that children in same-sex partnerships do not benefit from the connection children have with a biological mother and father.


even then, the point of whether or not homosexuals make good parents vs. hetereosexual parents is irrelevant and a red herring. shitty parents are shitty parents regardless of orientation and the inverse is true as well

Here's an analogy you might understand:


Taking a BMW to the dealership, when it is stock, the mechanics were trained on to repair it and understand how everything fits together. For them, working on a BMW with BMW parts just comes naturally. This is how children from biological mothers and fathers relate to their parents.

Now if you took my car, a BMW with a Mustang engine and a 280Z slave cylinder, '96 Thunderbird radiator and Corvette wheels. They, the BMW mechanics, will look at it and may attempt to work on it, but it requires a lot of mental gymnastics to interact with.

I'm positive that children who grow up with a pair of gay dads or lesbian moms are lacking the influence and connection to both genders which you can ONLY get from a heterosexual marriage. This is a key element to the entire anti-gay marriage stance and I believe it is legitimate. The world's greatest strawman is how people say "oh what about abusive straight parents..." as if that has any bearing on whether or not children are negatively affected by same-sex couples raising them.

It just seems insane to think that lesbian mothers or gay dads could raise a straight son, biologically only related to one parent, if that, and have a "normal" outcome.

I think goodness every day that I had a mother and a father growing up. They divorced when I was 11, but the childhood I had was incredible.

Shit, why not a house full of 5 lesbians or 5 gays married together raising children in a commune? It is coming, just wait!

[Lomac]

So where does the single parent aspect come into play?

[Lomac]

CiC literally believes the media and government can turn kids to become gay. Still fundamentally consider unconditional love as the best and only approach.

Some straight people can be affected. Case in point. 1 of 2 recent personal experiences.

I used to go to a church(yes a church) because it appeared most people were super nice. There was a young woman that had all the potential to be a child entertainer but the first warning sign was that she kissed the little kids really loud. This I let go but when I discovered a parent was not happy at all, it was concerning and she still continued the kissing. Next, I discovered there was a high chance she was bisexual. Let that go. Next was her actual purchased work. Never got a chance to ask her in detail a major part of it but one page was possibly very disrespectful. Personally would never let her alone with children and I am willing to sacrifice for surveillance and monitoring.

Anyways, I agree it won't affect me as I'm straight but what about those parents who might have to 50-60 hours/week each? Goddamnit, they took out this version of Lilith on google, where apparently she has an affinity for little children. But get this; the parents are unsuspecting(too busy?) and Lilith ends up in control!

I absolutely have no worries with my kid becoming gay because it won't happen. However, if my kid ever ends up going to the Boy Scouts, I have no choice but to spend a few hours monitoring, as gays are allowed to be Scout Leaders now. Wouldn't be surprised if one is a little too suspicious being a monitoring agent, could end up being ostracized with how LBGT influence is on the rise.

Haha found this video right now and this guy says exactly everything I believe:


1. There is a push for one culture, where what you see on TV is the truth and people do not challenge it

2. People are dumber and dumber and don't think for themselves

3. The government is part of the brainwashing of society

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

i just don't follow this shit and therefore im ignorant to it. and i just keep on truckin and doing what i do.

there's so much noise out there, that if you dedicate your whole life to one small slice of the pie, it could fill your entire perspective easily.

i only follow things that interest me.

anything that's to do with social justice, inequality, anything that caters to individuality and "specialness" i just ignore.

i shouldnt even say ignore, cuz that means i would have to first see it.

i don't even see it. except for places like... rs where you would post these things.

of course FB too. but when scrolling through FB i only stop to read things that interest me.

everything else to me is just a "commercial" between posts i wanna read.





the world is big enough that every special clique, every special posse, has enough data out there to overwhelm you bro.

you think this gay attention seeking faggot will even exist months down the road?

lol who the fuck cares.

im more concerned about the spaceX rocket that blew up. or the greece debt problem haha.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

my theory is just, too many people have no lives. no goals.

they don't really live for anything. they just go to work, do their 9-5, like that's the only duty they have. then everything outside the 9-5 depends on what's "HOT". and they just jump on that.

they have no direction. in fact, they have so little direction, their leisure has to be dictated to them as well. that's how sad it is.

they have no real life goals. like real ones, that take up enough time that they become that goal.

they're more concerned about being out of the social loop, insecurities. probably nothing to talk about in the coffee room at their jobs LOL.

[Hondaracer]

Agree on all of Ulic's points.

Shit doesn't effect me when I don't see it/don't give a shit/the people around me don't give a shit.

I don't have a large circle of good friends, I've got maybe 10 "good" friends I see all the time and all of us have similar interests and views. We don't discuss shit like Bruce Jenner or LGBT, we talk about hunting, fishing, traveling, where were going to plan our next trip etc. or on the lower scale we just get baked and discuss science and technology type shit.

This "shift" you're talking about does not come within our circle whatsoever. The only people who would even have a glimpse at this shit are the outlying friends of my GF's we see once in a while, and all of them are too scared/timid to bring up any sort of social aspects as a discussion because A) even though they probably have a 'strong' opinion regarding the matter, they aren't confident enough to debate it, and B) they are too scared to bring up a subject which may put them in a negative light to others so they keep quite and only discuss neutral or common subjects.

No one I know within the 60 or so people I see a month on a regular basis is giving two shits about some geek on YouTube posting flaming videos.

[multicartual]

yeah but they have no choice. didn't choose to not participate. they cannot participate even if they wanted to LOL.


Homeless people COULD get their shit together, I mean, it actually is not very hard to get into a halfway house and get job placement.

Then you're looking at a minimum wage job and time to re-adjust to society. Imagine being homeless for a decade or being on drugs since like 2005 and then coming back into society and having to work with crazy trannies, super-out gay people or easily-offended feminists. A lot of people unable to bite their tongues would be out of work incredibly fast.

The poorer you are, the less of a voice you have, until you hit rock bottom... then you can finally say and think whatever you want!

Due to financial necessity, now more than ever, speech and thoughts must be carefully navigated. How many RS'ers hold back their own beliefs due to the knowledge of our hyper-PC climate?


Another huge factor at work here is the lack of any real community. I've lived in Gastown for nearly 6 years now, and I can say without a doubt that there is little sense of community and other men have mentioned how few genuine friends they have downtown. Things like housing are no longer for shelter, for putting a root down and engaging with other like-minded people. Dating no longer requires you to know anyone and to network to meet the lady or partner of your dreams. Instead, housing is a speculative investment where many people are buying up as many properties as possible and looking to become the next neo-feudal lord, dating has turned into an electronic game of writing the best profile and having great photos, an advertisement for yourself rather than requiring social participation it formerly required.

Women especially are used as validation for men more than ever, guys who post photos of themselves with their hot girlfriends to increase a man's social value to others. The vice-versa happens as well, but women get more value out of a man with money than a man with looks.

Instead of being a great person in their community, people become great people on the internet with likes and comments. We all now participate in this global popularity contest that just seems so hollow and juvenile, and if you disagree with it there is NO alternative to our new digital image-based culture. If it doesn't happen online, it didn't happen.

However, if it did happen and someone was offended, look out for the Twitter shitstorm. It doesn't matter if you have done immense great deeds in life, one tiny slice of your life taken out of context could cost you your entire career and reputation for the rest of your life.

it's obvious most people are explorers of uhh "limited culture".

you think society and all that society encompasses would be this "advanced" if most people werent? i mean, it is "they" who are perpetuating and feeding "culture" itself.

we lack explorers of reality, outside culture. but... we have always had a lack of those people throughout all of history.

Pop culture =/ culture


With the destruction of the family, traditions, the increasing digital nature of life, the lack of community created by online dating and like-validation, culture is no longer gained through your peers but rather measured in shares and memes.


You describe how you interact with your friends as almost a zoo or oasis of culture, while surrounded on all sides by an ocean of pop culture that you cannot help but notice.


People say "ignore it" but it will not go away. You can build up walls and close your eyes, but before you know it you will feel the cold trickle of that ocean under your feet whether you want to or not.

and culture, by definition is a completely nebulous term that can only defined by the individual

What turned men into such fucking cowards?

if the person in the video desires attention, and you were against such behavior ergo the best action is to ignore it. the old cliche holds true that there's no such thing as bad publicity

and Aristotle was in his home bitching to his disciples about the stupid average greek?

lol

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. - Aristotle

Aristotle would be fired from his job with a #DownWithAri hashtag if he said this today.

There is more to life than leisure and recreation, you would never guess that though if you had a chat with most "men" these days.

i talk to more people than the average person does.
i have more "friends" than the average person does.
i generally, just interact with more people, from many backgrounds, than the average person does.

i can tell you. most people do not concern themselves with things outside of work. and if they do, it's mostly frivolous things to do with "social culture".

clubbing/parties
sports
pop culture
gossip

you bring up the topic of anything that requires intuitive thinking, and you'd be a party killer.

the coked up bros will stare at you with their glazed over eyes, and ask you what drugs you're on.

the ones that are more geeky, will be more open to technology and other related discussions. but there is still lack of intuitive thinking. it's like they're just regurgitating things they learnt or read somewhere.

the lack of creativity OUTSIDE pre constructed, passed down, patterns of thinking is lacking.


next time you're at a dinner party, fucking listen to the shit people say.
they're talking about their work. their lives. some boring shit, that everyone experiences everyday. what the score was at the game. did u see that viral video? they talk about their day, like people give a shit.

they bitch about their co workers. their boss. some frivolous bullshit.

it's like... yo. how about we talk about something intelligent. cuz really, no one gives a shit about what happened at work. no one gives a shit about the game, or any of those things.

or maybe... people do give a shit about those things, and they are the exact people we are talking about.


people always talk about their lives or other peoples lives.
you know how often i sit down and people talk about IDEAS?

Big reason I find myself casting off friends left and right, have little patience for banal people; they're literally everywhere!


Oh, just now in front of my building, this crackhead was screaming and just moaning... I only left in the last moan.

sounds like you just need a new social circle. but it's also difficult to discuss complex topics within a large group as it usually devolves into shouting or needless bickering

[white rocket]

If people, in general, gave less fucks about others people's shit, all of these sites would have zero traffic. Focus on yourself and what you believe to be your righteous path and you won't feel like you need to squash all the shortcomings of today's society. Practice tolerance, patience, and don't let the downward spiral of society take it's toll on you. Everything is in the eye of the beholder(viewer). 10% action, 90% reaction.

Easier said than done but that's the ticket right there.

Girl Scouts of Western Washington fake 100k donation with the stipulation that none of the money goes to transgender girls.

Outrage ensues, 250k+ raised in 1 day.

Now if you have a penis, you can still join the girl scouts!

That's going to be some awfully strange shower / change room staring.

[classified]

lol i used to be very worried about you multi (like I view my own past), but am very impressed with the path you are starting to take(Im barley on here anymore so haven't seen to many of your posts). You should listen to some Sam Harris/Terrence Mckenna to begin fine tuning.

And wow Ulic that was pretty on point, glad to see there's other people that have awaken

[GS8]

What Ulic talks about reminds me of this time I was at the office and my co-workers started comparing 'Dad bods'.

After a few minutes, I interjected by asking what a 'Dad bod' is. I'm slow to these things because I actually don't give a fuck about buzz words or whatever.

Anyway, I was told what it was and I just shrugged and said 'that's a new label applied to NOTHING NEW'. We could call it a beer belly, prego man, etc. but I swear I've see this body shape in my decades of existence.

Then I was told the term was started by a woman :seriously:

If a man coined the term 'Mom bod', you KNOW there'd be a backlash

----

There are people who walk a path that is safe, well lit, and know where it ends so they take it stride and with MANY MANY others alongside them to keep em company. They never question their trip or the distance, they just walk and talk about whatever is within that group.

Then there are those who create their own paths out of nothing but their own bare hands and feet. It's a challenge that comes with difficulties but rewards those who strive to move forward. Yeah they can feel isolated due to recognizing their individuality but they can also look back at the path created and feel proud and accomplished of their trek. All it takes is questioning. Questioning everything.

I'd imagine the group in the latter category ^ wouldn't care at all about some overly sexed up crossdressing teenager as they would about questioning whether life has existed / still exists on Enceladus, Europa or Kepler - 186F and if we are connected to said life?

---

I fall in the latter category. Can't tell you how many times I've become isolated at parties because I couldn't gauge anyone. I mean I see faces with bodies attached but I also see sheets of paper. Blank, 2-Dimensional canvasses that choose to remain blank.

u mean evolve. once the shouting and bickering commences, the people that don't matter will quickly disappear. the ones that are left... that's when the real discussion begins. the people that don't matter... couldn't keep up, or couldn't handle it, or just didn't care.

[68style]

You guys are literally describing the reason sit-coms have always existed right?! I mean, take Married With Children in its hey-day for example... Everyone watched it and people who identified with Al Bundy said "Hey.. My job sucks giant dick and my wife is a bitch who sits on a couch all day nagging the shit out of me, never puts out, and my kids hate my guts too... I'm not alone!!!!" This show is a perfect example actually cuz they even started that No Ma'am club where they could hide in the garage and practice what's left of their masculinity in private.

The thing I never understand is why people who are NOT sharing that situation watch it, laugh, and then allow their life to follow the exact same fucking path to that foregone conclusion despite being shown exactly how much it sucks ass and, theoretically, through that example, how to avoid ending up like that. Many of whom allow their life to happen down this pre-determined path all the while saying "That's just how it is, why fight it?" to themselves. Drives me fucking nuts.

All the worlds a stage and the people merely players? Is that all this is?

*edit* I like how the guy in this thread who owns 2 Buick's is the one who makes the most sense! Lol

Well, I am old. It's a rich tapestry...

:okay:

[Yodamaster]

SJW's are going full retard, meanwhile I'm just a regular type dude sitting here okay with not being allowed into the girl scouts.

If you support authority, the rule of law and the VPD at all, you will fight against the insanity of fucking retard SJWs:

Watch the entire 8 minutes.


The police show so much patience and respect for a crowd of baying zombies. The people screaming and hurling abuse at them look like dumb cunts and beta males empowered by sheer numbers.

Remind me to buy you an ice cold beer for this post. :werd:


Not only that, but Al loved his shitty old Dodge.


Oh fuck... I own a Dodge Rampage... and dating a redhead... I'm like an Al Bundy who makes 9-10k USD a month and yet I STILL cannot afford a detached home in Vancouver.
