My mother outright told me after the Otto case: "You're an adult. I wont stop you from doing what you want, except for one thing. If you ever tell me you want to go to North Korea or Iran, I will physically fight you to keep you here."

And then they all clapped because nepthenhe would be the first one in the family top go on vacation.

[Averon]

Why are they bringing up 'white privilege' and 'the black struggle' about a couple being detained and possibly tortured by an authoritarian government? 
Is it merely because it is a white couple?

It's just another case of them calling every instance of a white person who is middle-class or above an example of white-privilege.  That's not white-privilege.  It's privilege, sure.  But white-privilege?  Nah.

Same way with how they use white-fragility.  They think it means white people being fragile or upset.  These "woke," morons just invent their own definitions so they can use those two terms all the time.


A guy goes to Shake Shack and they are out of his favorite item so he is upset.  Era: wow, buying food and then being upset it's not there, such white-privilege and white-fragility.

[Boredfrom]

Is this just young naive people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or a sort of white privilege disappearing when they travel to places that don't coddle them? I mean... I kind of find it nice these young kids wanna do this and try to bring together cultures, but another part of me says "GODDAMN IT WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU".

I dunno what being white has to do with this couple being stupid and naive...

Why is it always white people when it’s a story like this

This is disingenuous propaganda that is dangerous to spread.

/ˌdisənˈjenyo͞oəs/
adjective
not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

 

what, he knows the gun is much worse than he says, and is lying to protect it?

it doesn't sound like he's feigning anything

it's possible he has a different opinion on whether the gun should be banned or not...that doesn't make it disingenuous, that makes it a different opinion

 



what's the point of disingenuous when both sides can just lob it at each other

in that thread we find Mr. Stinkles

Victim blaming is bad but Two young people from two allied western nations Going to Iran and flying drones around in Tehran sounds like something spies would do and that will be the narrative from Tehran if it blows up.

We don't know on the other hand if they really were flying a drone or why they were picked up.

I've looked but can't find anything about them beyond travel blogging. Sometimes the "tourist" turns out to be "an expert on international relations who studied farsi and hard-line telecommunications during his ten years in the military and has a black belt in karate " but these two have nothing beyond their social footprint that I can find.

"victim blaming is bad but I'm gonna go ahead and slide right into that stance anyway"

[clothedmacuser]

There are actions and consequences. Laws and policies. These guys made a mistake in their ignorance and broke a law. No, they shouldn't be tortured or imprisoned for it, but they have to face the consequences for their actions, whether they are just or unjust.

User Banned (5 Days): Inflammatory accusations, Antagonizing other users

I've encountered plenty of Trump supporters who didn't bother to vote in 2016. Warren's published writings from the time speak to her political/economic position in 1980.

You and Kirblar are really all aboard the "being called a racist is worse than being a racist" train, aren't you?

User Banned (duration pending): Repeatedly advocating mass murder.

Yep, it's why a lot of gun owners are going to need to be killed by the government when the time comes to change the country for the better and they resist.

User Banned (1 Week): Transphobia

They/Them are plural. If he doesn’t want to be addressed as him/her then has to be ‘It’, which is the only gender neutral singular.

My only issue with this shit. Drives me crazy.

User Banned (Permanent): History of Transphobia, Multiple Posts in this Thread

Okay, you're probably gonna get banned soon, but I want you to define biological sex for me. Go on, impress this biologist.

Humans and other mammals, males typically carry an X and a Y chromosome (XY), whereas females typically carry two X chromosomes (XX), which are a part of the XY sex-determination system.

so you can get banned for having multiple posts in a thread huh

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
We understand that the concept of being non-binary is new to many people. However, non-binary people deserve the same respect that anyone else does, and as such, we feel it is important to set guidelines so that discussion in this thread can be informed and civil:

*Representation is important and is something to celebrate, so avoid making dismissive comments.
*Respect people's preferred pronouns. Language is continually evolving, and derails arguing that (they/them/their) isn't singular will lead to a ban. For reference, the AP Style Book, which is a standard that many copy-editors and writers use, allows for the use of they/them/their for non-binary people.
*Be respectful and kind in how you approach discussions about this subject.

For more information on what is meant by non-binary, please see the non-binary OT: https://www.resetera.com/threads/non-binary-ot-01101110-01101111-01101110.119742/

But that OT cites a person who is a man in all ways who simply "dislikes his place in the gender dynamic" and thus exposes the entire thing as a fraud perpetrated against transgender individuals.

also this thread back from the second month of ResetERA.com got bumped for an update on the story so the banbot scanned it and this ban amused me for more than just how they used to write the bans:

This user was banned (3 days) for wrongfully generalizing all police as bad in a subsequent post and comparing them to Nazis in this post.

So you think when F34R pushed those kids out of the way of a moving car and took the hit himself, he wasn't a force for good?

No, he wasn't. It doesn't counteract the evil of his role. It's like saying there were good Nazis.

There weren't. Being a cop nullifies anything you do that isn't terrible.

[benjipwns]

Also this "non-binary" male Sam Smith is some kind of English singer or something, neither the founder of the Progressive Review NOR the author of The Jordan Rules. Just any case anyone else was wondering.

[nudemacusers]

I wonder how many times one advocates for mass murder before it becomes a permanent ban?

[benjipwns]

Surely it depends on who the mass murder is being advocated for.

This ban imo certainly doesn't warrant three months like spreading a hate site conspiracy that Enzom21 is white.

I do think that there should be a better term than "they" for non-binary persons. It sounds pretty confusing for people where English is not their first language. I'm no linguist but yeah, we need something new that feels more natural. That ze/xe stuff just didnt work at all, but 'they' just doesnt work well.
