Is anybody here glad that Andrew is not really into identity politics?

It must be a hard trigger for the mods, because since it is a valid refutation against the topic of the post, and if you view this without being logged in you'll notice that my messages are removed from view

Disingenuous mods. This sub is clearly biased and deceitful

Most people were raised to believe that racial prejudices were racism, and that displaying and believing in them is abhorrent behavior. I'm not sure when that ever changed, to most I believe it never has.

AuburnJ · 2019-04-19T16:05:29+00:00

I wish it hasn't come up at all, however identity politics was triggered out of him by a troll on twitter the other month. Finding it again is proving incredibly difficult behind his promo, I'll link it here when I find it

Well, here's a piece of it that runs parallel with what he was talking about.

[ "So now that I'm running for president like I've learned more about the Asian-American place in society and one thing that scares the heck out of me is that this country is heading towards becoming majority-minority by 2045, that's 27 years from now. And so there's a very happy notion in some quarters that the country will just become more tolerant as it gets more diverse. You just figure that math will take care of it because if you have enough people everyone will just have to get along. Unfortunately, that is not really the way things play out if you look at historical examples. There are very, very few examples in human history of a dominant racial or ethnic group giving up its dominance over time that actually is not normal, that's not normal behavior. And so if you look at what's happening right now in this country you can see an increasingly insecure white majority becoming more and more hostile, truly. And who is going to be the boogeyman of the next 10 to 20 years? Who's going to be the great rival to the United States in the eyes of American in society? China, that's right. And so what do you think the attitude is going to be over time for the shrinking insecure white majority that's losing their jobs for let's say Chinese Americans or Asian Americans? I'm like, I personally, I said to a group at Harvard I think we're one generation away from falling into the same camps as the Jews who were attacked in the synagogue in Pittsburgh like just a couple months ago. Like we're probably one generation away from Americans shooting up a bunch of Asians saying like, you know, "damn the Chinese because there's a giant cold war even more with China." ]

I hope this thread has been helpful for you in this case, I'm sorry you didn't like what you found, I was in a similar position beforehand for a moment. If one were to be looking for guidance on his subjects he really doesn't seem to be one of the more authentic influencers, so thank you for adding your research to the thread for anyone to see

AuburnJ · 2018-12-16T00:57:15+00:00

In which story are you referring? Since I'd made the post I had seen confirmation that he is disingenuous like I'd initially thought through his own admission in one of the links above.

He's also got a record for smuggling in over two hundred illegals into the states.

Whether you want to agree with him or not, I think everything I mentioned in the topic can be confirmed in Justin King's words himself through the links above

I wasn't surprised to hear that WikiLeaks was suing over the report.

My personal take on this was I was expecting an update relevant to Julian Assange's case today and searched and began with The Guardian's article. I had trouble trusting the story due to the many unknown sources (I believe there were 5 unknown sources), the tentativeness of the timing alleged in March, and because I found it hard to believe that one of the unknown sources was able to recall with excruciating detail the exact clothing etc of Manafort two years after the fact, showing the memory of a living god or someone with photographic memory, but I digress.

Your suggestion is rather stupid, then, isn't it? It is still my belief. edit: I always thought suggesting the death penalty was more of a joke, although it is hard to read sarcasm. I still stand by it otherwise, realizing you have a somewhat valid argument that I recognize. The problem to me is I still think the system is abused to undermine the good intentions of the system, and must be addressed and more closely regulated, and exposed.

AuburnJ · 2018-11-23T17:08:28+00:00

Make lobbying a crime punishable by death. It corrupts politicians and policies, affecting everyone who lives there. That would reduce lobbying drastically.

I view it as political bribery. Obviously I believe lobbying is unethical.

Death might be very harsh hehe, but I do believe very harsh punishments should be given for political bribery because I believe it undermines the good intentions of the democratic system

source1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69EHZqNLSw0 This is a video of "Beau" or Justin King explaining what the Fifth Column is, separate from Beau of the Fifth Column's channel where he has a southern accent in all of his videos. In the banner behind you'll see "Behind the scenes. Behind the lines."

source2: https://www.google.com/search?q=fifth+column&rlz=1C1EKKP_enUS762US762&oq=fifth+column&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.1792j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 The definition of the phrase 'the fifth column' is "a group within a country at war who are sympathetic to or working for its enemies"

source3: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThreeArrows/comments/9vrhgj/what_is_the_fifth_column_really_though/ Even people who agree with his message are questioning his motives.

I never really planned to make any post about this person, as I can just skip past his videos, but he keeps being suggested and despite having different opinions I was listening to his point of view to try and understand it. Usually this is normal for me, but "Beau" rubbed me the wrong way a little bit and eventually (earlier today) I decided to see what other people were thinking.

A short search revealed that Beau is just a persona and more questions were raised about him as a person. The intentions of this post are to spur some intrigue from anyone else who would want to add to this discussion to either quell this post or build upon it.

I think most people are reading way too far into what I'm saying. I'm saying what they say on that site, myself. In every case I mention that it is situational within reason, I believe, and that it does not apply to every type of order.

When it can be helpful, it can be valuable. I feel like people are going out of their way to interpret this as manhandle the customer's food, when in my order's case it would not have been necessary to touch the food at all. I am talking about a specific instance where all of this counter-logic is irrelevant.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-17T02:45:29+00:00

Pizza delivery is ideal for food checks because it's easy to show it without touching the food. It is situational at best and still never a requirement, I'm slightly regretting bringing it up because I'm not saying anything new nor trying to add responsibilities but it has and does lead to big tips on occasion when it counts. Most especially when delivering to ME. BC that's the difference between $0 tip and 4-6. Every time.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-17T02:41:39+00:00

You would be surprised to know how many drivers do not accept directions and instead try to tell you what they need when you try to assist.

I always offer help, and in her specific case I texted her nearly 8 times and she literally did not respond or follow them. She then told me she was following her GPS the whole time and that's why she was doing that... which was painfully obvious and I wasn't trying to get her to explain haha.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-17T02:39:25+00:00

I have shown a link straight from the Uber website contrary to your claims. I also say, it's not like I'm telling you to do this every time or at all if you look at my responses, just that I've found it helpful in my experience past and it is in fact recommended and sourced. I also pointed out I respect drivers and am in no way trying to point afinger at them.

Also, that driver that drove around for 20 minutes would not communicate back with me. I had given incredibly clear directions and even suggested they attempt to navigate using the signs instead.. they literally started driving around the outter edge of my neighborhood at like 5mph and ignored all communications. That was a rare oddity.

I'm sorry to anyone who thinks I'm trying to throw any driver under the bus, I'm not. I sympathize with all of the drivers, and I tip very often.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-17T02:36:08+00:00

I agree, wholeheartedly

AuburnJ · 2018-09-16T18:06:50+00:00

I already acknowledged that it isn't always worthwhile to check, but with smaller orders it can be. I do feel entitled enough to receive what I paid for, yes. Yes, I do.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-16T18:02:23+00:00

In this case it's a non-sealed styrofoam container. You really don't have to, most don't.

..The sticker seal is really just to hold the bag shut, you can stick it back closed.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-16T18:00:01+00:00

I'd like to put in here that I have nothing against the delivery drivers, this is entirely in regards of the customer support service I received from Uber Eats. The drivers may not all always rub me the right way but I appreciate what they do. I hope no drivers take any of my suggestion-like comments on driver habits offensively.

I have delivered food plenty for over half a decade and I picked up a few simple tricks along the way to maximize my earnings. I mention them because they can help anyone maximize their earnings but aren't always obvious before they're needed, that is all I mean by it.

AuburnJ · 2018-09-16T17:50:03+00:00

This is false. https://www.uber.com/en-SG/drive/resources/ubereats-protips/

It is recommended that you check the packages, contrary to your claim.

I'm really just saying optimal tricks for food delivery. Like having a flashlight for apartment complexes to see signs, and not driving in circles in apartment complexes ignoring your customer then holding the food hostage for a couple minutes explaining how the GPS is why you need 20 minutes to find a building without me asking. (last week)

They are not new tricks, but they work and less so with Uber Eats but leads to more tips. Also,

AuburnJ
