President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Wife is a lawyer and from everything I've seen associates only with successful white people.
oh well, maybe "racist" according to post-modern definitions (like denying races exist and have measurable differences and so on).
Certainly not racist in the only normal sense (actively wanting to hurt and damage other ethnicities)
Arguably trump core platform is deportations, and payback to democrats and civil servants who in his mind operated against him. That means DHS and DOJ.Trump picked 2 women for those crucial roles. And yes this means he is not a mysoginist. If you are, you can still make use of some women when necessary, but you don't pick them as core allies that have to execute on your vision
Neil Gaiman is a self professed feminist, yet has had serious allegations of sexual and misogynistic abuse levelled at him.
Dylan Roof is a racist mass murderer, yet had a black friend who claimed he never heard Roof say anything racist, and who didn't treat him any different due to him being black. That doesn't mean Dylan Roof isn't a racist mass murderer. Strom Thurmond supported Jim Crow laws, yet had a black daughter, who he supported financially.
Racism can be more complex and not as simplistic as you seem to think.
bc nono and nona were bigoted ignorant morons?
No because they lived under actual racism (the "racial laws" of fascism), which is when you use power to explicitly and trasparently damage races you deem "inferior".
If there is no explicit willingness to damage other ethnic groups, it isn't racism.
Because the simple idea that you feel your own group is better is historically universal (and morally healthy for any group). It becomes a bad idea if it exceeds into "and so i want those other groups to be massacred, killed, stolen from" and so on.
Even merely being disgusted by a specific ethnic group isn't racism per se unless you are willing to use violence if you can to stop that group doing what disgusts you.
Nevermind that any cultural criticsm isn't racism anyway, unlike what the left claims these days. Disliking other people food, religion, clothes and everything else is not racism. It can be bad again if it makes you use violence against what you dislike, but it isn't racism and got conflated with racism on purpose by decades of incessant mind tricks of the left in order to make it "socially unacceptable" to rank cultures and criticize aspects of them.
But we recently finally dispelled that at last
Well there you have it folks. "It isn't racism to be disgusted by other races as long as you don't kill them. After all, everyone feels that."
If you weren't sure before now, that should make it pretty ******* clear.
Then why do you even argue here?
By your definition we shouldn't accept any definition since it's from a group of people most of those you argue with here completly oppose in life?
Who are you talking to then?
Reminder that Lucy is old, not chez'old but still quite old.
He totally sounds like the radicalized granpa.

you in fact never accept any definition of the right about anything that is politically controversial.
Not everyone is a rabid leftist here though
Oh really?
He doesn't understand how quotation marks work. You can't just extrapolate to your heart's desire and then put "----" around it and start into histrionics.
FFS just find actual quotes from Lucy that anger you, copy them verbatim, and then comment. You can find them everywhere. On every page. In every thread.
It was a paraphrase, relax. And I put quotes around it so no one would think *I* was the one saying it. Let's nitpick over that instead of concentrating on the ******* racist though.
If it helps, consider me to have changed the wording to "commit violence on them" instead.

Radical Liberals - Tribalism and racism have been ingrained in human nature for millennia, but are harmful in modern society and we should try to move past our base instincts.
Luciom - well, ACTUALLY….
If you hadn't noticed Luciom constantly appeals to things that were lifetimes ago. Everything ideal was 75+ years ago if not longer.
Nevermind that means he has zero clue what life was actually like back then

Luciom is just very sad that this happened :
AI Overview
The Enlightenment period in Europe coincided with the Scientific Revolution and the Neoclassical period in art and architecture, roughly spanning the late 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. It was a time of significant intellectual and philosophical advancements, emphasizing reason, individualism, and human progress.
What's bother me the most is the outright dismissing of an opinion/statement/theory based only on who said it.
Pretty sure most rational people read a statement and figure out the validity of it by itself.
Context can help but not to the point to (in)validate the logic itself.

I think we already had this conversation and i am not a technology hater at all, i just don't subscribe to the idea that we got technological progress because of social progressivism.
Most of what was worse before for normal people was material scarcity caused by worse technology. The moral arc of history managed to claim victory for what technology improved while they were materially worsening the situation (like when they started refusing to executve all violent criminals).
So you can have everything we invented today while going back on some (not all) progressive insanities. Unless you want to claim that AI exists because men who think are women could for a while play in women sports or something like that.
We could all be better off if we just killed everyone at his third sentence (of any kind) , or converting every 10+ y sentence into death (*the day they lose the appeal, bullet in the head right there*).
And by having immigration rules that filter on quality (=income/wealth) and very strict naturalization rules.
It’s becoming pretty clear that Luciom is definitely feeding this **** into AI and peppering his responses with it. Super annoying and he’ll probably be my first reason to use the ignore function because of it (as soon as I figure it out).

If they believe they are harmful, why do they display the worse episodes of tribalisms in current politics by far? like when they stan for Mangione? why do liberals buy house where there is no "diversity" the instant they have the money to flee from "diversity"?

I rarely use AI to write and when i do, i always say which one i used (for testing purposes).
It's becoming pretty clear that you guys simply never talked with a well educated high iq actually really rightwing person in your entire life, or if you did that person was performing a rain dance to keep your obsessed radical liberals at bay.
To ignore just click my username in any of the posts i write, left click once, last in the list you can add me to ignore

To paraphrase, you can use single quotes: ' blah blah blah'
