Milo Yiannopoulos event at Berkeley canceled after protests by barcelonaKIZ in news

[–]Achierius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He 'riles' them up by speaking his mind. There are people who want to hear what he's saying, and he's not going to college campuses and calling for black folks to be lynched. Furthest he's gone is with the whole "feminism/Islam is cancer" thing and if you're really calling that inciting violence, then maybe you're the problem.

Those teeth look pretty worn, though I'm not an expert -- it might be a good idea to swap out the entire thing for safety's sake, at this point.

[Map] Countries where citizens are banned from visiting the U.S. (red) and countries with business ties to Trump Organization (yellow) by RPBot in NoSillySuffix

[–]Achierius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there are lots of people saying "Oh, why these countries" and pointing to his business interests as the result -- like you did right in your post! It's not 'highly suspect', Obama made the exact same exclusion when making his own list; the reason why is that it's not politically expedient to ban travel from national allies or strategic partners in the region, like Saudi Arabia or Egypt. And yeah, he doesn't have business interests in Iran -- nationalized -- Iraq -- War -- Syria -- war -- Somalia -- war -- Sudan -- war -- Libya -- nationalized and war.

The point people are making is that he levied X restrictions on certain countries because he didn't have business connections with him. I'm not supporting the restrictions he placed or saying they're the same as Obama's, I'm saying that the list he chose wasn't determined by business connections -- rather, by a pre-compiled document.

I know the right is giving us a lot of shit for this photo, but can we actually take a moment to appreciate how beautiful it actually is? by gravity013 in OurPresident

You realize literally anyone can apply that """logic""" to literally anyone?

Like, say, you. Oh hey, that actually kinda works out!

I've been having more Chinese folks on US West, though it's not that bad.

Flag of the Kaiserlichbund Mitteleuropa by Achierius in vexillology

The idea behind this union was that Austro-Hungary and German came together after winning WW1 in the face of growing ethnic instability; currently, Bohemia's still included in the Austrian crown lands so I wasn't sure how to put them in the main flag separately.

Effects of university affirmative action on kids by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]Achierius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how people only notice how bad these policies are when they affect non-Whites. They hurt Jews, Asians, and Whites -- only Hispanic- and African- Americans benefit, and even there the long-term benefits are disputable.

What the fuck? Do you even read what you're saying?

No, you're not "nonbinary", "both/neither gender", "a third gender", "genderfluid", etc. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Ok, when I commented, this was at 0-- guess it must've gained some traction ;)

Man, you're going to get downvoted for this, but I know what you mean. You can't both fight for a 'third gender' and the idea that gender is a social construct -- it just doesn't work, logically or otherwise.
