If you're blaming me for someone else being a racist because I look like that racist...
You're a racist too.
Wasn't me, didn't do it.
Blaming the group for individual crimes is the core of bigotry.
It's a seductive trap and easy to fall into.
Interestingly, noticing that groups of people have something in common is not racist or sexist if the observation happens to be true.
You wouldn't be able to recognize them as a group otherwise.
And sometimes the differences between groups are insurmountable and they should live with some space between them. But not as often as many bigots would have you believe.
Calling someone a filthy Jew is being very rude and obnoxious; but it's probably protected speech.
Assaulting someone after calling them a filthy Jew is a hate crime.
And, yes, you don't have to actually touch someone to commit assault!
Once you've articulated an actionable threat that appears to be imminent, you're assaulting.
And you're lucky if your chosen victim is armed and declines to shoot you.
It's noteworthy that this happened in Florida and the actual victim is home, safe, with their family and the (alleged) perpetrator is behind bars without bail.
The goal of any business is to appeal to everyone who wants to purchase the product.
By selecting one group of customers over another you are automatically refusing their money.
Alienating existing customers for this other group means your are refusing future sales to an established customer.
If you publish a role playing game, you're saying that you don't need them any more: but they can reply, "I can play the game with what I already have, forever, without spending another nickel. Can you keep the doors open and the lights on if I stop buying stuff from you?"
In fact, if they go out of business tomorrow I still have enough stuff to keep playing.
I did not have to buy anything more to play this last time when FuzzyGeff came to visit.
Game Designer's Workshop has been out of business since 1996 and I am still playing two of their flagship world settings using GURPS.
Does SJGames really think I still need them?
I really don't.
They've gone woke and if you read Sean "Kromm" Punch's reply to why they're doing this, they cannot see that the sensitivity bullshit is offending people. They don't care about us, but I suspect that they will miss us soon enough.
Just look at the shambles NASCAR is in after they chased the inclusive chimera.
European colonists just continued the work done by rebounding waves of humanity that had come over from Aisa over the Bering Land Bridge millennia before.
Dehumanization is part of EVERY American Indian language. Their name for themselves always translates to "human being" and they never use that word for anyone else.
Never mind this is a quote from a Somali colonist trying to white guilt us into thinking we need to let her run things and make us pay for perceived slights to a people she's not a member of without any shared history or culture.
Governor DeSantis is term limited from running again.
That means every "Republican" in the world is putting their foot in the ring.
So far I have gotten Fecesbook recommended posts from two that are all about divesting from Israel.
Oh and some family first stuff too, but divest from Israel!
SIGH. I thought BDS was done.
Just as a lot of Jews were considering jumping ship from voting Democrat to voting Republican too.
I recommend they register Republican so they can help pick a gubernatorial candidate who's not aligned with the National Socialist American Worker's Party.
Some of the verbiage of that "family first" stuff sure rings familiar.
History doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
The good news, however, is these people don't seem to capturing much in the way of voter recognition.
There's a faction of people who are wanting others to stop discriminating against them for their "immutable characteristics," but are more than happy to condemn "cisgender white men."
You know, discriminating against straight white guy's for their immutable characteristics.
I guess the best thing about being a liberal is getting twice as many standards as everyone else.
How can you tell someone is a bigot about straight white shit?
The word "cisnormative" comes up a lot. Said with all the tone and bile of a Klansman saying CENSORED.
The assumption that biological sex and gender being aligned is the default state.
That belies any statement of understanding.
Cisnormative white men deserve the bad things that happen to them because of their moral corruption.
Cisnormative white men are The Other.
The Other are not people, so they get to treat them as less than people.
Don't like me pointing out your bigotry?
Tough shit.
A real tell is the screaming that someone who's cisnormative can't speak about any situation where LGBT folks are involved, but they sure as fuck can speak about any situation where cisnormal white men are.
How can you tell someone is a bigot about LGBT shit?
The word "degenerate" comes up a lot.
Morally corrupt and given to vice.
That belies any statement of mental illness and compassion for the sufferer.
Degenerates deserve the bad things that happen to them because of their moral corruption.
Degenerates are The Other.
The Other are not people, so they get to treat them as less than people.
It's their invisible friend in the driver's seat and in a nation with religious freedom, PEOPLE are free to ignore the diktats and dictates of other people's invisible friends.
Don't like me pointing out your bigotry?
Tough shit.
By the way, I've read the book attributed to your invisible friend and you idiots are completely misreading the section on pederasty and applying to homosexuality. The gay sex part is pretty mild.
But even accepting your invisible friend says no butt stuff, there's not a word about being generally weird.
And the constant mention of LARP and Furry says, to me, that the real issue isn't the buttsects but the being strange or different.
In general, I don't particularly care for Mr. Kasarda. I was once a patron of InRange WAAAAAAY back and they did a series of videos with another creator and I had the temerity to express that if they were going to keep doing that I didn't wanna spend my money on it.
Karl told me where the door was and I exited.
I'd always found it ironic that he extols the support of viewers but shrugs when a viewer gives feedback and ends their support.
This video is about someone who appears to be a racist and a homophobe doing their damnedest to get to a controlling position at a gun club so they can expel the undesirables from the place.
I agree, that's bullshit.
I'm pro-LGBT. I deplore racists.
However, this little spat with the Pima Pistol Club has a different angle from other sources.
The bigot mentioned at length in the video might have gotten their foot in the door because of the Antifa angle that seems to have attached itself to Mr Kasarda.
"Thou shall not freak the mundanes!" is an old adage. It's essentially the same thing as, "don't scare the White people."
Antifa freaks the mundanes.
If they turn a 2-gun match into a pride parade or political rally, the normies get upset.
What if they just wanted to shoot the match without the political content provided, not by the match director or range, but by fellow participants who'd been encouraged to come by the match director or their associates?
Karl sounds like the people who were trying to apologize for Black Star back then to me.
I didn't take a position on race, sexuality or gender when I asked about the beer. But I would have had to listen to a lecture about racism, sexism and homophobia to get a beer there.
What if I just wanted a beer?
What if I just wanted to go shooting?
Both the principles in this fight seem unaware of how the normies see them.
The bigot will get farther before getting replaced because bigots tend to be good at hiding what they are in the spaces that matter to them retaining power. I've forgotten how many times I've seen that meme play out.
I'm willing to bet, though, that someone in a MAGA hat would be barred from a 2g-ACM match that Mr Kasarda or his associates were running. I'm betting that way because I've heard tell of exactly that happening there.
Someone was definitely told to go away when they tried LARPing a Rhodesian soldier and compete with an FAL. Something about not allowing racist symbols... From a guy who LARPed as an SS soldier how many times?
He's talked about safe spaces and ignores that groups like Antifa and John Brown Gun Club people actively try to make normies feel unsafe. Antifa is probably doing it from the other side of the "we committed terrorism!" legal line too.
After this post, I've found a couple more bloggers mentioning the incident and it's the comments...
I have to ask, "If you weren't a racist, how would you say it?" or "Say the same thing as if you weren't a racist."
It's actually quite simple to phrase it without being racist about it.
It's good that it's simple, because it's not racist to notice it and say something; despite what the media and left would have you believe.
Just as turning up the stereo doesn't fix rod knock, not reporting on black-on-black violence will not make it go away.
But, again, it's not a racial thing even though it's a race doing it.
That's a strange turn of phrase.
It's a cultural thing and the decision to allow a race a subculture that's in conflict with the main culture.
The reasons for allowing it are completely racist. The soft bigotry of low expectations has created people who are central casting examples of Klan propaganda.
Slow clap for the slow walk through the institutions.
Most, if not all, of the people in question would be normal American citizens if raised as one. But they aren't because they weren't.
And correcting it now would be much harder than never letting it start, but the racists got their way and we never held our minorities to the same standard as ourselves.
We stopped treating them as equals, so they stopped acting like it.
There's a ton of well meaning but destructive bullshit that needs discarded to fix it.
But when you say White people, you're really saying Western Civilization, and Western Civ is the one that introduced the idea that violence shouldn't be the FIRST answer.
It's that Christian basis thing.
Exhaust all other options before resorting to violence is its calling card.
But when violence is called for, leave no two stones standing.
What you might be seeing, Don, isn't that violence is THE answer, but the disproportionate level of violence means the other answers clearly aren't working, leaving just one tool left in the box.
Perhaps if enclaves of "all cultures are equivalent" had not been allowed to fester and create little centers where an honor society butted against a high-trust society this would not have happened.
I keep going back to reading about two things that were wrong when they happened and, I think, were the pebbles that started the avalanche.
Red-Line districts to segregate populations.
LBJ's Great Society.
The nuclear family was way stronger in Blacks than Whites at the time and white people were more likely to punch out a child out of wedlock.
I cannot think of what you'd do differently if you'd meant to destroy Blacks as Americans than what those two things did.
Every single time racism ebbs, some fucking Democrat revives it. They, literally, told Blacks that not only did they hate them, but allowing them to be normal Americans would be legally forbidden if they had anything to say about it.
Most of America is receptive to the idea of Black people being just another kind of American, but they have to be Americans with a descriptor rather than a race with a location. They're not even a race with a nationality as they currently sit in too many places.
Assimilation is not a fun process in a lot of ways, but it works. We should be looking to things that work rather than nursing old grudges to vendetta levels.
Never go vendetta against Western Civ. It punctuates the equilibrium like no other society ever created.
More than a couple peoples have had a, "it was all going great until they woke up!" moment.
One thing that is falling out from Charlie Kirk's murder is people discovering what reprehensible shit bags their dancing monkey idols really are.
The fuckers can't keep themselves from celebrating even after watching others of their ilk being punished and fired for it.
They just go a little lower key and hope to have more plausible deniability... While that might work on their employers, it's definitely not working with the fans.
There's two places that need to have populations more aligned with the overall demographics of the US and that's higher education and Hollywood.
I think it's possible that Mr Kirk's death will lead to it.
A lobbying organization that didn't have any influence until the mid-1970's; even if they have undue influence in the 2000's cannot have caused an event in 1967.
I do notice that Bernie Sanders complains about them almost as often as he mentions oligarchy, so...
Do you really want to be counted with Bernie?
I'd love to see a lot of the people dropping money at congress prevented from doing so.
Figure out a workable way to do that and I'm in.
But I'll definitely be breaking your rice bowl too.
There's about five conspiracies from the 1960's that I have grown to really loathe.
JFK being the main one, but the USS Liberty incident has to be a close second.
Because I don't obsess over it, I have to look up and re-familiarize myself with the details every time it comes up.
Like all these conspiracies, the details don't add up and you CANNOT convince the believers that the mere facts are, in fact, what happened.
Well, the facts are out there, from several sources. Even better, sources that have an interest in proving the conspiracy true so as to make another source the bad guy. I keep looking them up, over and over, and I keep failing to find a version of the event that survives Occam's razor that disagrees with what the US Government, US Navy, Israeli Government and IDF say happened.
Most of the time, recently, I find that the person who cites the incident is looking, aching, for an excuse to justify their hatred of Israel.
That normally boils down to some antisemitism of some flavor.
I've had my fill of that bigotry.
Citations of OTHER conspiracy theories aren't proofs.
Lots of people are exulting that Charlie Kirk did once say, "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of,
unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the
Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
I've repeatedly said that freedom has warts.
Every liberty has a down side, but the upsides more than counter them.
Millions of defensive gun uses that saved someone's life more than counter the thousands of murders and suicides.
Even if all guns miraculously disappeared, there would still be murder and suicide. There would still be a need to defend oneself from murderers and thieves.
It's not the guns that are the problem.
It's the rage that's been sold since, around, 2000, that the right wing are evil.
Rage that has led to violence that was unpunished.
Outright encouragement of violence against "fascists" was the norm.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter destroyed how much property? Injured or killed how many people?
Yet, only the right saw any real punishment. Isn't it amazing how they found everyone who entered the capitol building on January 6, but we can't find arsonists in any of the various places that Antifa rioted in?
It's not guns that told them to go do evil and assured them they would not be punished.
It's not guns that provided bail money and delivered bricks on pallets near where these violent protests would occur.
It's not guns.
It's also not the right that's been murdering people.
I, for one, am sick of being blamed for things I didn't do.
I am sick of being punished for things that other people did.
That's against the entire concept of individual liberty that this nation was founded upon!
The main problem most people have with DEI, even if they're unaware that DEI is present, is that DEI demands that the goods produced are exclusively Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and not the purported product they're supposedly selling.
A common refrain of minorities is that White people are fine with them as long as they act like White people.
The claim is it's racist to expect them conform to "white" society's norms.
But it's not, really.
How do we know?
Because an actual racist doesn't care how well the minority conforms to the norms.
The extreme example, of course, is The Holocaust. A Jew could not be law abiding enough. Jews could not be secular enough.
They could not conform enough.
I've experienced a disconnect a couple of times when I have to notice a friend is a minority. Newt is not my black friend. Newt is my friend.
We're friends because we have similar outlooks on life and compatible senses of humor with a lot of shared experiences.
His being a Jarhead comes up far more often than his skin tone.
A Black person conforming to the cultural norms of the US doesn't have problems, in my experience.
Cultures expect conformity from people who would live within them.
Cultures have a right to reject those whom will not.
Some cultures ARE better than others.
The American culture with its traditions of freedom and liberty is actually quite color blind. The people who abhor those freedoms are generally at the core of attempts to make race and creed a central theme. They do so to undermine the traditions of liberty.
All that can sound pretty damn racist.
It's no mistake that this speech was included in The Blues Brothers:
White men! White women! The swastika is calling you. The sacred and
ancient symbol of your race, since the beginning of time. The Jew is
using The Black as muscle against you. And you are left there helpless.
Well, what are you going to do about it, Whitey? Just sit there? Of
course not! You are going to join with us. The members of the American
Socialist White Peoples' Party. An organization of decent, law abiding
white folk. Just like you!
Sounds a lot like, "if you just join our society and act like us, everything will be fine!" doesn't it?
But it's not the same. It's not directed at the minority to relax and join the majority. It's directed at a majority to STOP the minorities. It's to create division, not unity. To prevent minorities from joining the greater society at large as equals.
Racists and bigots are often very good at convincing people of things.
But remember; that speech by the head nazi from Blues Brothers was given by a character shown to be an idiot at every turn. They actually went to Wrigley Field before realizing Elwood had falsified his address.
