The Oldiesfreak Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts III

[politicus]

I also get migraines... My triggers are over-tiredness and stress... and they are actually one of the most common set of trigger factors.

Precisely. Migraines are caused by modern capitalist exploitation.

(opebo classic, but this one is more absurd than funny, so I figured it belonged here)

[Oldiesfreak1854]

A double whammy...

It's easy to see why they'd make that mistake though...

George Wallace's son - who has the same name - is mostly certainly a Republican these days.

[Lief 🗽]

Don't you think you're maybe being a tad oversensitive?

Not at all.  Considering how the nativists in the 19th/early 20th century used the term as a slur, I don't think so.  It's like a conservative commentator calling a liberal black journalist by the N-word.

[politicus]

What? It's true. White people, especially white Americans, are horrible. They're responsible for the vast majority of death and suffering and subjugation in the world. They arrogantly believe that they've achieved their wealth and power solely by themselves, conveniently ignoring the generations of slavery and discrimination other ethnic groups were forced to endure at their ancestor's hands. They are culturally decrepit, holed up in their garish, soulless and earth-destroying suburbs, appropriating the culture and music and food of more creative peoples. F*** white people.

Yea I was quite obviously trolling you so thanks for taking that bait.

PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT "RACE" ON ATLAS EVERYONE.

Presenting a vaguely (unintentionally?) white supremacist post from politicus and an uncharacteristically truly awful, embarrassing post by mint. There's more and it's almost worse.

The Industrial Revolution and most of the technological and scientific breakthroughs that form the basis of today's advanced economy where created by white people.

Holding white people (ie Westerners) responsible for every humanitarian disaster in the rest of the world is ridiculous. Most victims of third world civil wars and atrocities as continued de facto slavery in places like Mauritania and Pakistan, oppression of women, gays and religious/minorities etc. owe their faith to traditions and prejudices emerging from their own cultures.
You cant continue to blame all the tragedies in the world on European/American imperialism. Asians and Africans enslaved, murdered, raped and tortured each other long before our palefaced ancestors arrived at their shores.

White people have created some of the most sophisticated and profound works of art, music, theatre and literature of any civilization.

Modern democracy and human rights (incl. the ideas of gender equality, antiracism and equal rights for sexual minorities) are the product of Western civilization.

The idea of racism is not limited to any one or so races.

And BRTD, what you are missing is when African Americans say that, they not doing so with the same intent behind the word as southern whites did. A better analogy would be Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks.

you don't get it jbrase. this is what the left seriously believes. you are making the mistake of conflating colorism with 'racism,' like most 'white americans.' that is not what the left means by racism, at least not these days. their position is not logical. leftists like lief want you to believe 'white people' do not exist, yet are the cause of all of society's problems. there is no way to win with these people. you are guilty of 'racism' simply for being 'white' no matter what you do. unless you tow the leftist line, then maybe you could be forgiven for the sin of being 'white.'

Thank you so much, Oakvale.

Calling my post "vaguely White supremacist" is in itself absurd, so Ill repost yours here.

Saying that people of European descent have contributed a lot to the world and have a lot to be proud of can not in any reasonable way be called "white supremacist".

[rejectamenta]

White people kick ass, dudes.

[Lief 🗽]

A little bit of light trolling brings all the latent white supremacy out of the cracks, I love it.

[Hash]

Damn Africa, the racism is strong in that one. Reads just like apartheid propaganda - the Bantus need "Western civilization", or else they shall run wild and indiscriminately murder, rape, loot and run countries into the ground.

what the heck is wrong with this?

You are reading my post like the Devil reads the Bible.

Where do you get "the Bantus", "the "running wild", "running countries into the ground" and the "indiscriminately" stuff from? It is all in your imagination.
My point was merely, that atrocities and oppression happened before European colonization and continues to happen unrelated to anything Europeans or Americans did or do.

I know you wont, but you really should apologize for this attack. Its unsubstantiated and uncalled for.

[memphis]

I believe it was my fault for suggesting Africa has a birth rate problem. Surely, women can average six children each forever without large scale problems.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

There are a lot of white on white crimes out there.

Yep.  Typocally its white collar theft perpetrated by rich owners against the poor, suffering worker.  I'm glad you see this, NJ-R person.

It's called the Federal Reserve.

[opebo]

White people kick ass, dudes.

Yeah that's precisely the point.

[AmericanforAmerica]

Generally anything from a leftist tends to fall into this category.

You are not a very interesting troll.

But a helpful one as he posted directly here, saving someone else the trouble of posting a copy.

[Paul Kemp]

This guy doesn't get it...

Maybe I could change the story line.  It generates 500 posts a week or so, 450 of those at least are diet related.  If my viewers will let me, I could try to change the story line that doesn't generate 90% of the Update.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Yes, of course. It's a disgusting racial slur, it's a name explicitly picked because it was a disgusting racial slur, and it is representative of an ugly period of racism and segregation in American sport.

The worst part is in bold. 

But in fairness to Lief, it was chosen by those evil racist Republicans, wasn't it?

Bravo, sir, for pointing out what nobody on this forum will admit!

George Wallace's son - who has the same name - is mostly certainly a Republican these days.

Evidence, please?  And considering that Wallace had a change of heart on race after his assassination attempt, that doesn't really mean much.

After joining the GOP in 1998, Wallace Jr. gave speeches to the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens in 1998, 1999 and 2005, and has been a guest a few times on a white supremacist talk radio show.

He basically made the logical step that the less stubborn Southern racists (e.g. his father) didn't do, and finally join the welcoming home in the modern Republican Party.

What's inaccurate/absurd about this? All of those things are on record and in fact true.
