Lol yes, "The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy". "Law enforcement will FUCKING KILL YOU, please have a panic attack and act erratically around them, but never show them any form of respect, pussy!"
White people being arrested: use the word "sir", always moves slowly and keeps their hands in plain view, follows all of the officers instructions, listens to directions and tells the police officer anything they want to know, while remaining calm and non-combative.
Nigger being arrested: chimps out by screaming at the cops, starts moving around violently and erratically while showing obvious signs of aggression, will reach behind their waistband after the police have their weapons drawn and telling him not to move.
Loony leftists: IT'S A WHITE PRIVILEGE THAT YOU'RE NOT AFRAID TO BE SHOT BY THE POLICE! SYSTEMATIC RACISM! SOCIO ECONOMIC! VOTER ID! REEEEE!
No, it's just that white people and other civilized races are smart enough to not act like a wild feral animal around the police. Everyone can enjoy that privilege, it's called "NOT acting like a fucking moron".
The funniest thing in the world is when they made all cops have body cameras thinking it was going to own the racist police and all it did was expose how stupid and ignorant and combative the common American nigger is.
 
I'll never forget watching World War I documentaries that talked about how excited everybody in Europe was to get into a war with each other in the early 20th century. These were educated people who got their ideas about war from poetry and other romanticized tales of war glory. So many of them thought that going to war was going to be so fun thinking nothing about about landmines, mustard gas, or machine guns might actually kill them.
that's a very oversimplified portrayal of the situation

war enthusiasm was a thing for several reasons that varied across the countries

russians saw the austrian declaration of war on serbia as an attack on all slavs (pan slavism was big at the time) and thus were very eager to push back and defend their brother nation
french saw an opportunity to take revenge against germany for the defeat in 1870, people were very motivated to take back the lands lost in the last war (revanchism had been a huge force in french society for many decades at that point)
germans remembered that the last time they fought a major war (1870 against france) the result was the unification of their country and the beginning of a golden age for the nation, so doing the same thing again seemed like a good idea all around

also worth noting that every one of those countries could (and did) frame their involvement in the war as legitimate and defensive in nature, and their opponents as bloodthirsty warmongers.
>austria: serbian military officers conspired to murder our crown prince! this cannot stand, we must bring them to justice for it!
>russia: austrian aggressors are trying to conquer serbia, we must step in and defend our slavic brothers!
>germany: russians are trying to destroy our closest ally austria after their serbian proxy forced austria into war through conspiracy and murder! we must defend our southern brothers against this eastern aggression!
>france: germans and their austrian pawns are trying to conquer and annex lands in the east just like they did to our own lands fifty years ago! this cannot stand, we must fight against this injustice and take back what's ours in the process!

it's a bit different for britain and especially for america, who really could have very easily stayed out of the war, but with the continental powers the view that the war was being forced on them by the other side was dominant.

I find myself going back to Psych extremely often. Very funny comedy-mystery made right before everything openly went to shit (2006-2014).
The show is well written and well acted, but I’ve never been able to enjoy it properly. It’s set in my hometown of Santa Barbara and I still lived there the entire time it was airing, yet they filmed it in Canada and very obviously not a single aspect of the show matched what Santa Barbara is like.
It’s hard to enjoy an episode that takes place at a non-existent baseball stadium, a non-existent aquarium, a non-existent roller rink etc.
And before you say that it shouldn’t bother me and that lots of stuff gets set in places they aren’t filmed in, Santa Barbara in particular is a bad choice for that because the city had laws that dictate that every building needs to have almost the exact same colonial Spanish look of white stucco and red tile roofs. Santa Barbara is an extremely visually iconic city to the point that there’s even a Chinese knock city that was built to emulate it, yet psych decided to choose that setting for their show that has no real visual comparison. I suppose it also doesn’t help that Eliot Roger shot the place up near the end of the show’s run, making a murder investigation show in SB seem in poor taste to some(not me.) though SB is a disgusting place and I thank every day that I haven’t lived there for years. Psych’s version is much cleaner, safer, and has less illegal Mexicans.

On a slight tangent, I’ve always loved the famous “you can’t get rid of a bomb” scene from the 1960’s Batman movie because it actually WAS filmed in Santa Barbara and nearly everything you see in that scene is still there today including Moby Dick’s cafe which is in the back of many shots.
 
This is why I don't watch almost anything after 2016 when woke garbage started to infest TV and movies.

The dumbest thing about Nu Hollywood is that there was already plenty of diverse casting in media going back at least 50 years. The only difference is that it wasn't propagandized. But, of course, the new way has nothing to do with diversity and everything to do with turning all shows into leftist propaganda vehicles.

The feminist bullshit shoehorned into everything might be worse than the forced diversity. All the men in new shows are pathetic. How many new detective shows star a black lesbian? It's all unwatchable dreck.
I have to be honest it's the openly gay shit like guys sucking face or the race mixing shit that disgusts me in movies and TV.
Both of those things bother me on a visceral level. We weren't meant to race mix and we weren't meant to fuck dudes butts. Hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and breeding has taught us that.
 
However, nobody presented this question more succinctly than Rowan Atkinson's (Mr. Bean) famous 1992 skit when he asked "We have the recipe, what do we need them for?"
It's also worth pointing out how many ingredients in a typical curry are not in fact Indian but were introduced by Western explorers and merchants. You know, like chillies. You can thank the Portuguese for those next time you eat a curry. (Not that I'm actually that fond of curry the older I get and the more I learn to appreciate properly cooked fresh food. The spices mostly just mask the taste in most curries)

Fyi tomorrow could be fun, and I am sure those in Portland will react reasonably jk
The Antifa fags last night were 100% doing damage control trying not to riot. They had more costume wearing people out and were dancing like meth zombies at burning man all out of sync to whatever music they were playing.
>Tee hee hee. Look, the one night we're not trying to burn down your office so you have to ignore the past 6 months of siege. Look at the cute frog and capybara guy dance tee hee hee.
Portland PD had them closed off down the street by a few hundred yards but they couldn't help themselves and attacked that fat fuck that always shows up in the MAGA hat. He took full advantage of that stand down shit talking them to their faces and one of them decided to jump him from behind to steal his phone since he was livestreaming. They didn't get it but he tried to flee and their retard crack addict brain instincts kicked in to chase that man down to probably kill him which forced Portland PD to shut it down and actually tard wrangle Antifa for once because they couldn't go one night without beating someone up.
 
Time to answer the most important question of all time: which is worse the normie or the leftist?
The leftist, because normies are soulless automatons and can be herded in any direction you want, and you also need normies who don't question anything to form the basis of your economy and military.

It's just by control of the institutions over the last 50 years that the leftist has been able to corral the normie towards their insanity.
 
Can we just IP ban the entire Indian subcontinent or something?

People are pissed about this one.
I'm gonna say something that will piss off the women in the chat. I don't think shock collars are inherently bad, especially for larger dogs. But to use the shock collar to keep the dog in frame for a twitch stream is really fucked up.

I have seen shock collars be used in farms or near forests(so that the dogs don't wonder off) i guess the anger comes from him using it so flagrantly.Plus shock collars on dogs are illegal in a bunch of western countries.

A shock collar, in their most “humane” use, is a device intended to punish a dog for barking, something a dog is literally supposed to do. You can train a dog to not bark constantly, but if the mere sound of barking bothers you, you shouldn’t get a dog. Not only that, shock collars react to any loud sound, I’ve seen videos where people get phone calls and it causes their dog’s collar to go off, and if another dog barks within range, your dog gets the zap.

But this isn’t just a shock collar, it’s a remote controlled shock collar, it’s the remote controlled ones which are used to force behavior. It’s no better than beating your dog for not performing, I knew a girl who had one of those on her dog, it got to the point where her reaching in her pocket caused the dog to flinch in fear.

And then you have this actual situation, where this spoiled ass fuck useless streamer who has no benefit to society, creates absolutely nothing, and is the clearest example of why people hate streamers, forcing his dog to lay in a bed in frame to make his stream cuter. That isn’t a pet, that’s a prop, and he’s forcing the dog to stay put when the dog walking off camera would not have ruined his stream in any way.

Then consider the fact that he was in the middle of a shitty rant attacking America because it doesn’t adhere to his Muslim communist fantasies, and he interrupted his rant to shock his dog for the sole crime of standing up.

This is Hassan showing what his communist ideals are. This isn’t a video of a dog being abused, it’s Hassan showing us what he wants for the world. He wants us all to have collars to be shocked when we dare do something he doesn’t agree with,

Fuck this man, I have always hated him, but this is somehow a new low. I will never understand what his audience sees in him

Man, I was browsing the main Lolcows board and decided to catch up on the DJT thread highlights just to see what they were saying and the last time I had looked at the thread was before Kirk was assassinated. Didn't realize they were celebrating it and gravedancing on him. It has all the same lines as bluesky and reddit, that he got what he deserved because he supported the 2nd amendment, that he was an evil person, that right wing people celebrate innocent people on the left getting murked, the Minnesota politicians, complaining about ICE(???), etc. All of those comments are like 95% updooted so it seems to be the general consensus there.

Hits a bit different knowing that they'd celebrate me getting my neck blown open in front of my family just because I don't have the same views as them.
the partitioning of discussions and its consequences have been a disaster for the farms

Never conflate legality with morality.

I wish nothing but RAID™︎ flying insect formulation on Hasan, however morality is in every sense prior to legality, unless you suppose that true moral judgments follow from the deviant beliefs of a pack of European retards voting together or the collective opinion of Democrat politicians.

By that standard, killing babies is freedom and being white is evil.

You can argue that in some cases or from some perspectives it's moral to follow the law because it's the law, but again this requires a moral framework that is strictly prior to any collection of legislated rules.
 


Why does her twelve-year-old daughter even know who Donald Trump is? Why is her twelve-year-old daughter so terrified of being raped? Why does her twelve-year-old daughter understand that a potential consequence of being raped is an unwanted pregnancy? Why does her twelve-year-old daughter know that unwanted pregnancies can be terminated via abortion? Why does her twelve-year-old daughter have any of this very specific -- almost niche -- combination of knowledge, factoid and fear in her mind?

Of course, this psychotic cunt is lying (like all politicians) and using her kid as a prop. It's unfortunate that she's a liberal, because it means we can never be 100% sure she's not actually telling the truth and accidentally revealing an even more horrible truth without speaking it aloud.
Katie has been using her daughter as prop ever since she was a representative.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the mother of three children, two teenage sons and a nine-year-old daughter, asked Thunberg: “I just want to ask you one question: I have a nine-year-old daughter, I have three kids, and I told my nine-year-old daughter that I was going to be speaking with you and I said, ‘What do you think about the climate change?’ And she said, ‘The Earth is on fire and we’re all going to die soon.’ And I asked her how that made her feel and she said that it made her feel angry,”

I remember libs freaking out that one of the things Trump's people wanted to remove from the Smithsonian was a picture of some slave with a bunch of scars on his back. When I saw that picture my first thought was, "I wonder what sort of evil nigger shit he got up to in order to earn those scars? Raping little black chillins, maybe?"
