The opposite, this was how he actually died but some propaganda outlets on Twitter claimed he was "liquidated."

I mean it is myopic but I get how it arises. If a suburban Afro-Carribbean lady goes downtown and is sexually harassed by some overfamiliar black dude with "no home training" it will color her perceptions of working class black Americans in the same way it would shape a suburban white person's perception. And for black immigrants to America and suburban black Americans things like code switching, having non-stereotypically-black hobbies or fraternizing with white/non-black people extensively are not inaccessible or taboo things, so such people more easily navigate spaces where jobs and opportunities for wealth are more plentiful.

It's myopic to pin all this on Black American "culture" of course because Black Americans are a people who have never had sovereignty or been the stewards of their collective destiny, and most of the "negative" behaviors blamed on "culture" are downstream from generations of targeted segregation/economic deprivation. But I do think if the white liberal/leftist response when say, there is a viral video of a group of black kids beating on a white kid is only silence, apologism, or tiptoeing, then the angry conservative response even while racially charged is sometimes actually closer to what middle class black Americans/Black immigrants actually want to say about such an event and it's participants.

There needs to be a frank but forward moving vision involving some sort of direct reparations and mending the faults caused by historical race riots/redlining, to actually resolve key issues surrounding "Foundational Black American" neighborhoods.

Yes but right now the worst public schools are still where the kids can depend on for possibly their sole meal of the day, socialization, donated goods, free life enriching activities, daycare when parents are working, respite from abusive environments, etc. even if all of these are sub par. This completely collapsing would be manifold worse than it still running on fumes.

I wish QAnon had as small of a base as Biden stans because cultish motivated reasoning just collapses into flailing like this when there is not a critical enough mass of people invested in the political outcome and narrative

NAFO libs finally coming around on this replace Biden thing

I think she'll probably become a standard bearer out of touch Dem as she gets richer (a la Patton Oswalt), but will never end up like Brianna Wu trying to do anti-woke stuff for attention because she already has a huge following.

I am not a short king but I am a straight cis Asian guy, and this at least somewhat true and I did not know it until I did serious work on myself and actually pinpointed the behaviors of mine that were clearly my insecurity and desperation to be liked seeping out (speaking in generalities to myself and others, name-dropping stuff I thought would make me cool, reacting by matching my tone and enthusiasm to that of the person speaking to me rather than giving a more organic response that's less of a departure from what I felt deep down.)

A lot of these short guys, like Asian incels, bond over insecure feelings and observations they independently arrived at due to them being the first level thoughts of any guy who's unlucky romantically due to having a stereotypically negative trait. They believe these feelings and observations are them getting a peek at an unlocked well of truth, rather than equally resigned quitters validating one another's ideas borne out of self loathing and the need to have a mentally placative answer for indecipherable and unpredictable social dynamics.

Just like how, when an Asian incels sees an Asian guy being confident with girls they auto-assume that guy was adopted by whites/had Americanized parents/is gay, then tell each other that as if it's a shared universal rule, bitter short guys will see some short guy who dates women taller and hotter than him and tell each other that the guy must be rich/famous/large penised/ex military.

These kinds of online social groups/subreddits are literally anti-achievement and self-growth. The more their shared lore is outspun to try to comprehensively and objectively catalog the hard and fast rules of a nebulous and volatile reality, the more detached from normalcy they become and the further they are away from having dating success or even natural human interactions.

That episode of South Park where Richard Dawkins freaks out when he finds out his girlfriend Mrs. Garrison was trans, and unravels his budding atheist world empire because of this, was so prescient.

But here's my attempt at figuring out what happened. Those anti-evangelical British Lib Dem/Labour atheists (e.g., Richard Dawkins, Graham Linehan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Stephen Fry, Maajid Nawaz John Cleese, Ricky Gervais) who were so beloved by libs in the Bush and early Obama eras, splintered from the younger liberals/leftists on the degree to which the west should tolerate Muslims, and attributed this split to younger people's obsessions with "political correctness." They began bleeding their following, and got extremely obsessed with affecting a "nuanced intellectual" persona and reveling in their persecution complex by going "I'm as liberal as they come but the modern left is doing ____ too much and is even calling ME a racist and sexist!"

The alt-right/chuds/Conservative dark money network loved hearing this shit and started glomming onto these people, because their movement was dying and needed a less cringe, marginally more secular sheen. Suddenly these atheist personalities found that their cries about political correctness on videos/podcasts would always garner a huge response (even if it's from the right), and so started playing this shit up more. Around the same time JK Rowling was getting obsessed with twitter because she regularly dunked on Trump and got fawned over by Tumblr-types. However, as she reveled daily in adoration, once she did get criticisms about her trepidation towards trans people and Jeremy Corbyn, it was like turning off her pleasure tap, and drove her insane.

All this converged in the form of bitter Brit atheists backing JK Rowling because of their shared animosity toward the younger left's "coddling" and "cancel culture" (i.e. not thinking they were the ideological vanguard anymore). Once Caitlin Flanagan's article "The Coddling of the American Mind" framed this behavior of the younger left as an open academic inquiry issue, a new collective of influential "anti-PC" web personalities was born.

The Brit libs became willing to do anything to stick it to the young people who didn't like them anymore, and began jamming up liberal spaces with claims that reducing racist/transphobic literature from college syllabi was hindering "free inquiry" and "intellectual growth." This got them invites to Real Time with Bill Maher, JRE, and the Rubin Report, and even suckered many liberal/leftist comedians/academics like Whitney Cummings/Kumail Nanjiani/Zizek/Finkelstein. So they just stayed stuck like this and helped portray Rowling as a martyr, and "serious concerns" about the "excess" of trans rights became the mainstream UK culture among even the Labour Party, subsequently even echoed and appreciated by Hillary Clinton.

I am glad she at least shared the work of the poets, including Refaat, and I'm not trying to equate her with an official government account trying this.

What is up with disgusting racist British freaks having fucked up affairs all the time? Oswald Moseley fucked his wife's sisters and stepmom, Katie Hopkins fucked some married dude in the daytime on a public field, and Boris Johnson is fucking a lady who seems too stupid to consent.
