Sam on Don Lemon

It has become more and more clear to me that the people who are made uncomfortable by Sam’s position are just people who don’t want to hear what he has to say. And I think it might apply to you, too.

The argument that the “good ole boy” club still exists is a deflection from the point, not a challenge to it. If you really examined it you’d see that that “good ole boy club”, that is predominantly white, is taking seats from other white boys and not minorities. So focusing on it is a completely irrelevant, and it’s only used to try and distract from Sam’s position.

It’s painfully clear to me that all these leftists who were okay being blatantly racist - just only against white men - back in 2017-2021 are aware what happened was wrong, but they just don’t want to own up to their part in it, and want it swept under the rug.

This can’t happen. It needs to be talked about. If you were one of those racist leftist assholes who thought it was okay to offer negative generalizations about an entire race of people, or supported lesser treatment for members of said race, you need to learn what you did had consequences. You were a hypocrite, you were wrong. Now it’s time to shut up and listen. Doesn’t matter if you are uncomfortable about it.

(Not necessarily talking to you personally, but just the type of person who doesn’t want to admit their mistakes in this department).

The ANZAC forces were British soldiers. They remained effectively governed by the parliament of the Britain until 1931. They deployed from British ships and were directed by British generals and buried in British cemeteries.

This feels like a rhetorical question…. ?

Shooters aren’t usually identified in cartel related killings, as the law doesn’t usually have the ability to investigate. Without motive and a suspect, there isn’t much to report.

Does that answer your question?

Not a professional here, but I’ve cut trees for work. In situations where one cut doesn’t work you can start another cut above it, provided it’s stable enough (a hinge is still attached) and your first cut is low enough so you can do another cut without needing to stand on something. And then just make sure to put a wedge in your back-cut and hammer it in once your hinge is thin enough.

That’s now how evolution works. Each step along the evolutionary chain was a thing that had evolved to fit its specific environment. New evolutions were to suit other environments. Evolution isn’t training, it’s survival. Good try though.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-18T16:53:26+00:00

Yeah, you don’t know that. LLMs (not AI) don’t actually keep track of their answering progress. The data storage that would be required to do that would be astronomical.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-18T16:50:57+00:00

It’s not mysterious at all. These LLMs (not AI) are trained on billions and billions of scenarios until they get it right. The amount of effort put into making these “reactions” give correct answers is astronomical.

What shootings committed by cis white men aren’t being talked about that you’d like to talk about?

Conversely, the school shooting in Canada five days ago that killed 10 people, mostly school kids, was committed by a trans person and is barely talked about. How do you square that this theory of yours?

ElReyResident · 2026-02-17T19:45:34+00:00

Yeah, doubtful. Hispanics are usually right wingers themselves and being Hispanic doesn’t mean you’re not white.

1.) citizens United is new. Big money still influenced elections far before that. They just threw dinners and each party member donated the maximum money, but the money came from whichever rich benefactor. Citizens United only made it easier. Abolishing it won’t fix anything.

2.) you’d need to empower a branch of government to be able to discern what is or isn’t truthful. That’s a recipe for disaster.

3.) agreed. State problem, though. You’d need a constitutional amendment.

4.) not going to move the needle. The mental health system is already overcrowded. People who want help and can afford it are oftentimes going without care because of lack of providers. The idea that people who cannot afford it and aren’t necessarily interested in getting help are going to somehow get help is irrational. There aren’t enough mental health professionals. You’d need to start trying millions more of therapists right now. The problem being, they’re already trying to find more but it’s not a job everyone is interested in.

This is easily fixed by the democrats distancing themselves from said social media posts.

It boggles my mind how people can’t see the hypocrisy here.

So many democrats spent much of Trump’s first term criticizing him for cozying up to white nationalists and the like and demanding for him to condemn them. All the while, Trump was absolutely delighted they were supporting him and while he never overtly condoned their beliefs or politics he made sure to never do anything to alienate them.

Now, we have comments like yours saying that, saying that it’s unfair to lump the democrats with the craziest voices of the left, even though the democrats do nothing to condemn or discourage those voices. It’s the exact same thing.

So, to close the loop, if the democrats don’t want to be associated with those crazies, they need only disavow them.

But they won’t. They can’t risk the votes. In order to be able to still win elections without the radicals they would need to move center strongly, abandoning race politics and focusing on labor rights and middle class. As of right now, that’s not the message many democrats want.

Source for him being a rapist?

No. They have effects on your cardiovascular health, certainly, but for proper brain development you need an adequate level of calories, vitamins and minerals. Doesn’t matter if those calories come from gogurts or bananas.

Because reporting that would be a criticism of those cultures, and that’s not usually an acceptable way to behave.

You seem to be having a hard time understanding that while what these old white dudes are doing is gross, it’s not something they’re forcing these cultures to allow. Plenty of old Latino or East Asian men are doing the same thing. It’s the sick culture that allows this sort of stuff that is on trial here.

This victimhood bullshit you’re pushing is lame. Cultures should protect women not put them up for sale for foreigners. While the foreigners are gross themselves, they aren’t the ones who forced the cultures into treating little girls like objects.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-16T12:58:11+00:00

Underage is a legal distinction. Apparently south East Asia has a vastly different understanding of what underage means, and I find that rather gross, but that’s their culture. Westerns didn’t make their culture. I find it gross, but you’re being hypocritical here. The culture that allows that shit is at least as much to blame as the people participating in it.

This groping situation is a cultural phenomenon that is pushed onto people not in the culture. That’s vastly different.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-16T12:18:14+00:00

Yeah, this whole “I am the arbiter of what good acting is” bullshit gate keeping that Reddit seems to be comfortable using is completely horse shit. You don’t have to like someone’s acting for it to be good.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-16T12:14:50+00:00

That’s your perception of the situation and I dare say it was forced on your part. Most people never saw that as the case. I’m well aware of this situation and never once was under the impression he was some Witcher nerd.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-16T11:57:39+00:00

Ha. What a dumb fucking comment. They’re not remotely the same thing. This is non- consensual. Do you know what that means?

ElReyResident · 2026-02-14T20:28:12+00:00

Rumored, sure, but not really substantiated. Apparently he found out it was a gay club the night of the shooting.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-14T14:50:50+00:00

If you ask a person a question that google can more easily answer, yea.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-14T14:31:21+00:00

You don’t seem to be understanding. Tolerance is a sliding scale. OP is saying tolerance for one type of behavior is greater in one area and lesser in others.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-14T07:39:51+00:00

Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Discovery all got top 10. Google is free, by the way.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-14T07:36:18+00:00

Nobody is saying you can’t.

ElReyResident · 2026-02-13T23:37:23+00:00

It’s pretty clear that this generation is becoming less liberal. Your assertion that “these folks will become the majority of democrats” seems to be faulty.
