  • If I was kicking the shit out of a Mexican in the USA and calling them an immigrant, it would be a hate crime.

    That analogy doesn’t really make sense…

    Here’s a real life example of what I heard witness multiple fights out there:

    Local vs local

    You’re a bitch ass cuz

    Local vs mainlander (regardless of race)

    You’re a bitch ass haole

    That’s it.

    It ain’t deeper than a substitute for a word that denotes familiar relations…

    You seem awfully desperate to find an example of white victimhood though



  • Central to the case was the use of the word, “haole,” a Hawaiian word with meanings that include foreigner and white person. Dennis Kunzelman testified that the men called him “haole” in a derogatory way.

    Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi said it was not Kunzelman’s race that provoked them but his entitled and disrespectful attitude.

    Yeah. That’s not a hate crime.

    I’d get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that’s still mostly native, they ain’t going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.

    You’re literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you’re going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means “soulless” but it’s not as bad as it sounds.

    Edit:

    To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.

    So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz

    If you’re not part of their family group, they ain’t going to call you that.

    You’re a “haole” and that’s all it means, one translation is just “not of the island”. It’s not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.

    But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you’re cool.





  • The DNC chair congratulated him almost immediately and called for the party to unite behind Mamdani:

    “This is going to be a moment for the establishment, for a lot of the people who lined up behind Cuomo. It has to mean something to win the nomination,” she said.

    "Democrats have spoken, they made a selection, and I would really, really hope that if he is facing headwinds from different directions, that the party would come together the same way I’ve seen the party come together over and over again when progressives need to say: ‘All right, let’s make sure that people turn out and vote for [someone] who wouldn’t have been our first choice.’”

    So yes, Bernie and the DNC agree, it’s fucking weird.

    If there is another PUMA movement, this time it won’t have the backing of the DNC

    Edit:

    The original quote is proceeded by this:

    Rupert told NBC News that after years and years of progressive Democrats being told to unite around the nominee when the establishment’s choice wins a primary, she hopes the party will do the same now that the shoe is on the other foot. She was heartened to see Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin’s quick congratulations for Mamdani on Tuesday night.

    Yet the article doesn’t seem to mention what Ken had said, just her reference to his congratulations to Mamdani.

    It threw me off and I thought it was Martin’s quote following it




  • which assesses modern science’s ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization,

    We can’t, we know we can’t.

    It doesn’t even take lizard people millions of years ago.

    Past 50k years is a blank spot. Anatomically modern humans have been around for at least 300k years.

    They say it took the ice age ending so we could have agriculture, but that ignores we had 3-4 ice age cycles before the last one where humans were running around. Plenty of time for agriculture each cycle.

    Even then, during the last ice age the Sarah desert was a lush rain forest the entire time.

    The modern timeline is very Euro-centric, which is an incredibly naive view considering the glaceriers from an ice age are basically a giant bulldozer that erases everything. It plows down mountains. Obviously we won’t find any evidence there, it keeps getting erased every ice age.

    And the places around the equater that would have fostered large settlements, are under the ocean due to those glaciers melting.

    Just like with everything else, it’s incredibly ignorant to think we know everything and there’s no missing pieces of the puzzle

    As a violent psychopath once said:

    The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

  • It’s assuming the Dem Party doesn’t sabotage their own candidates

    The party is the DNC

    The DNC is a dictatorship controlled by the chair

    You don’t have to guess what kind of chair Ken Martin is, he was Minnesota’s chair for a decade and that track record stands for itself.

    He’s already purging out old guard committee members, did a 180 on the flow of money between states and DNC, openly advocates for voters deciding the platform via fair primaries…

    Like, not as a personal dog, but the overwhelming amount of people complaining about the DNC just aren’t up to date on what’s happening
