he will not be involved you are correct on that.
what makes it different this time is the president may be both sympathetic and willing to use this force.
He may do it to make money, cause some one twittered him, for Putin or cause he hates brown people almost doesn’t matter.
The degree that this infiltration has gone too in the last few years, the openness to who they are and the general escalating militarization of US police does.

Sounds like maybe you feel the need to do something about those things.
Perhaps you could start by protesting them?

Guys like the ones in the article are often acculturated to equate truly connecting to a woman with f*cking her. They end up getting neither, despite the fact that they’ve also been acculturated to a sense of entitlement when it comes to sex. It’s a hot mess that ends in this case with a bunch of horny young straight guys riding around in a van supporting the aspirations of an alt-right gay drama queen.

Well, cheers and a kindly pass on loss for 2017 then. Pondering giant projection posters (monochrome litho.) of John Waters and maybe Malkovich; or maybe Wednesday Addams is a more accessible license.

Well I don’t know everyone on the left, of course, but the ones I know are mostly ethical people. I suppose there might be a budding Pol Pot out there, but we haven’t met.

Looking at it again, i agree. But as @Melizmatic and i discussed above and as you* note here
it’s the ones that pass as white, especially in small photos, that are given primacy by society, and hence by Google’s algorithms.
* I.e., i just feel that this point is worth emphasizing, not that you’re missing it.

And men who don’t get laid who don’t fall down into resentment.
When someone says something racist or sexist or xenophobic, and I call that out as being racist/sexist/etc, that does not mean I am personally hurt by the statement. so the argument that anyone on the left is “emotionally fragile” because they can’t handle hearing racist/sexist opinions is a straw man argument, or at least an distraction from the real issue.

Algorithmic racism. If the people who train the algorithms are subtly racist, the algorithms will subtly become racist.
…or not so subtly.

i really like that idea.
mostly he’s preaching to folks who want to hear him rave ( just like people watch bill oreilly for his outrage theater ) - but it would be great to have people reading from the declaration of independence, fredrick douglass ( he’s starting to get recognized more and more ), or even just asking completely ridiculous questions: “from what i’ve read, you’ve got a doctorate in divinity. is now a good time to buy a house?”
person after person stealing any and all sense of seriousness. refusing to play the game.

Yes, they’re straight, and I mean they’re all straight. There are some pictures with only one parent, but I gave up before I found one I could clearly identify as a family with two parents of the same sex.
As far as “appearing cis”, I won’t touch that issue with a ten-foot pole with another 20-foot pole grafted onto the end of it. I don’t want to make an issue about trans people either passing too well or not passing well enough. That’s a cylinder of wriggling invertebrates I don’t wish to open right now. If someone identifies as one gender, then that’s that and it doesn’t matter what gender they were born into. It’s possible there are trans people in some of those pictures, but I’m not making it my business to know one way or the other.

I’ve heard a lot of this “crisis” talk from white males, and it seems to come down to the fact that they miss the time when they were in charge of everything, and they don’t like it when, for instance, they have to work with a woman in the IT office and they have to stop using porn as wallpaper and admit that a woman can do tech work as well as or better than a man.
Now, the crisis of black males? Completely different story, heard it first-hand as a welfare worker in the 80s, and O.T.
Yep, yep, yep.
Is there a humane cure for the disease?

Euthanasia? /s
Or, less sarcasm, prevention by education and actual allowance of economic prospects, plus cultural changes that move away from white supremacy as being so baked into the system.
