"Those people that I just mentioned apropos of nothing have other people living in their head rent free!".

I fucking hate that phrase. It just means 'someone thought about someone'. Big fucking deal. If I mention 'Street Hawk', does Jessie Mach suddenly live rent-free in my head?

Shit's for idiots that spend all their time getting wound up, and want to pretend everyone else does too.

I'm asking in earnest:  What exactly is she asking for?  Separatism?  Like a separate piece of land in America dedicated to a black ethnostate?  Like what the actual alt-right want?   Or a unified nation except it includes a separate set of laws and standards that only apply to black people?  ...like what the actual alt-right want?     What is she talking about "divorced from colonialist structures"?  ???

given that all western societies were established and nourished by white people, any memetic concept for "how things have always been done (and it's a decent enough system)" are colonialist structures

mortgages were not invented for the benefit of black people, nor insurance, nor property taxes, nor policing, so it's colonialist turtles all the way down

no this is not a joke



People like Nep and the person in this video have backed themselves into a logical corner by proclaiming all products of white colonialism as inherently negative and then associating all modern societal concepts with white colonialism despite the bulk of contemporary western philosophy tracing directly back to the interpretations of Greek philosophy through middle eastern thinkers and scientists. I suppose it can be argued that the Muslim invasions of northern Africa were explicitly colonial, but certainly not white colonial.

Regardless, it's just another symptom of this all or nothing line of critical theory. (Note: CRT and it's related scholarly theories are perfectly valid avenues of study and inquiry, this video really shouldn't be taken out of context, there is value is the thought experiment of scientific theory sans western society, but that value is completely scholarly and shouldn't be [and frankly can't be] used for any practical application).

If colonialism = bad, then colonial science (or finance, or education) = bad and necessarily non-colonial science = good. Despite there being no actual evidence that "colonial" scientific method is actually inherently prejudice.

That's the problem which leaves the question; what is the solution within a modern progressive framework? Real scholars endorse the rejection of racism and prejudice within the modern framework, which is entirely possible, but extremists endorse a full on rejection of western modernity which is, of course, ludicrous. This is the danger when you form your ideology based on a single story, in this case that story being that all knowledge is tainted by western colonialism.

What is Nep asking for? She's just using all of this debate as a cudgel to swing around when she wants, she doesn't want to participate in the inquiry or have serious critical debate or god forbid make any improvements in the world. She just wants to watch YouTube videos about why she should cancel this person and then parrot that video into her sphere of influence because the feedback she gets makes her feel good. That's it, nobody should take anything she says seriously.

Quote from: archreaper93
Would you be willing to explain a little bit more? Him, Hasan, and Xanderhal are the 3 politics-focused channels I pay attention to, but if he's got issues, I would like to know.

Quote from: NepNep
The tl;dr of it it is Vaush is a leftist white supremacist. He's made it clear in various "conversations" with Black leftists that he doesn't believe in Black and Indigenous autonomy divorced from colonialist structures (and indeed, he doesn't really want to get rid of these; he has gone on plenty of times about how he likes a "big, strong America"), because to do so threatens his privileges as a white dude. He is completely ignorant about Black and Indigenous Nationalism, usually equating it to Nazism because of course he would, and has been called out many times, most notably by Hakim and also BadMouse, on not really comprehending basic Marxist theory as well.

The only fucking thing Vaush is good at is shutting down Nazis through rhetoric because he used to hang in anti-SJW/cringe circles, and by some random chance or whatever he just happened to reason himself over to some vague notion of leftism, a little like Destiny did (who I will remind you we banned from this forum for being a racist piece of shit). Also, his style of video is popular and he knows that Nazi deradicalization is a cushy-ass grift. But if you actually press him on what he would actually do to, you know, undo the profound inequalities built into American society through centuries of white domination, it would be anything that doesn't actually displace whiteness as the dominant class in society and how that identity ties into colonialism and genocide, because it makes him very uncomfortable and frightened. Ultimately he is extremely willing to throw Black Leftists under the bus and discard them the moment they refuse to bend the knee in forced solidarity with his stupid ass. I imagine Xanderhal is within the same vain through reaction videos I've seen, but I admittedly haven't watched his videos directly because goddamn am I tired of weak-ass white leftists who will turn on minorities the moment things get a little inconvenient or offensive to them.

If you want a more thorough breakdown on why I fucking hate Vaush, watch this video. Also sub to him (and unsub from Vaush):

I'm asking in earnest:  What exactly is she asking for?  Separatism?  Like a separate piece of land in America dedicated to a black ethnostate?  Like what the actual alt-right want?   Or a unified nation except it includes a separate set of laws and standards that only apply to black people?  ...like what the actual alt-right want?     What is she talking about "divorced from colonialist structures"?  ???

Have you any of you guys been on IMDB lately? My GOD. It's like a fucking plague, every single movie or tv show you can imagine is fucking crawling with these imbeciles. It's so absurd and hard to fathom, just review after review after review pissing themselves about any element being 'woke'. My tinfoil hat says it's another one of those Russian troll farms, people simply can't be this fucking stupid

Women or minorities just being too competent is considered woke, but none of these people complain about James Bond being such an obvious straight male power fantasy. I guess the smooth talking, good looking, womanizing white guy who drives sports cars and travels to exotic locations is not pandering, but a black woman being talented something is. Just sick of this shit

(Also, that is not actually a jab against James Bond, I like some of those movies, but come on)

I'll never forget my disappointment when The Princess and the Frog, a wonderful movie, came out and was deemed a commercial failure, practically cementing Disney's decision to move away from 2d to 3d animation.

Tangled came out the next year, made double the money, and the coffin was shut.

At the time, this was devastating. Princess and the Frog was and is still so much more beautiful than the somewhat visually bland Tangled (sans the amazing lantern scene). Tangled is good but... Man it would have been better if it were 2d.

Over the years Disney has gotten better and better though, and I think for the first time ever I am no longer resentful for Disney's decision. Encanto is BEAUTIFUL, and I don't think it would have benefited from being 2d. The technology Disney has employed for this movie has blown my mind. Every shot is a wonder to behold. After learning that Disney is making a sci-fi movie next, I can't WAIT to see what it looks like.

What are your thoughts?
Tangled has white characters so of course it's bland for them.

Actually people are also complaining about that, it's just from the other side.

Rare case of cops doin' the right thing here.

Regardless, it's just another symptom of this all or nothing line of critical theory. (Note: CRT and it's related scholarly theories are perfectly valid avenues of study and inquiry, this video really shouldn't be taken out of context, there is value is the thought experiment of scientific theory sans western society, but that value is completely scholarly and shouldn't be [and frankly can't be] used for any practical application).
Critical theory may have value and I'm inclined in that direction, but I have yet to see any value in critical race theory. It's race science without the pretensions of science (which it disdains) by racially prejudiced reactionaries who use it almost entirely as a platform to attack liberal and democratic institutions as illegitimate. It certainly shouldn't be illegal but that doesn't mean it produces anything of value. Lots of the academy is probably worse than useless, plenty of it is makework for abject idiots, as I well illustrate.

And if you point to intersectionality I'm going to point back to CRT which fundamentally rejects the idea that there's any other variables than race. Even Crenshaw, who was right about a seeming hole in the legal structure even if her methodology was awful, distances herself from CRT (for "intersectional feminism") while inventing conspiracy theories about white women. (I also question its usefulness beyond the original critique, especially when it leads to things like Latinx.)

CRT is especially reliant on the motte-and-bailey more so than most critical theory which itself is seemingly fundamentally based on the idea most of the time. The standard CRT text argues something like how because of racism liberal democracy or at least the rule of law should be ended. Then when attacked for opposing liberal institutions they respond by accusing their critics of either not caring about racism or actively promoting white supremacy. The perniciousness of Kendi is that he's too dumb to realize you're supposed to do this so he actually explicitly outlined how he wants a reactionary totalitarian state with zero freedoms for anyone and this only has somehow increased his popularity and funding rather than ending his charlatan career. Arguably worse is that while many forms of critical theory actually engage with their critics, CRT has rather successfully constructed an institution in which critique is fundamentally illegitimate and can simply be dismissed as bad faith by malicious actors. (See: its attacks on quantification and falsifiability.)

When you get past the initial claims that are pretty objectively bad, immoral and unsupported then you're left with the fallback claims that racism is bad which, well, wow thx.

Leave to where though?  :thinking  Which country is untouched by the white hand of colonialism and will host furry conventions?
So you're saying that Black people should continue to suffer colonialist violence by white people? Why are you placing the burden on them? Have you tried shutting up and listening?

I'm asking in earnest:  What exactly is she asking for?  Separatism?  Like a separate piece of land in America dedicated to a black ethnostate?  Like what the actual alt-right want?   Or a unified nation except it includes a separate set of laws and standards that only apply to black people?  ...like what the actual alt-right want?     What is she talking about "divorced from colonialist structures"?  ???
She has rather explicitly said that unless the United States becomes a reactionary totalitarian state based around race essentialism that prioritizes Blacks then all Black people should leave.

That's funny crossing the stream with the white supremacists like that

Imagine Neppy calling for a mass exodus of 'her people' when she hasn't left the small town she's been cashiering at in the past 20 years.

Neppy would be much happier if they actually stood for anything they claimed to believe in. Like most of Ree, Nep is endlessly progressive/ a martyr for the cause/supporter of the downtrodden, right up until the moment those ideals cause them any kind of inconvenience. See BLM protesters, customers struggling to pay for medicine, homeless asking for change.

Almost as if the entire system is setup to deliberately drive her specifically to that conclusion. :hmm
