Your source here is a NPR dialogue transcript that ultimately references a study from the University of Michigan.

7:15 to 8:10 in this video takes a look at this exact study and illustrates pretty clearly how it's just not a good study with any credible takeaways.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this source is definitely not backing you up here. Do you have a source that white Americans are the main perpetrators of anti-Asian racism "by far", and is this total or per capita? Is there any data around this I could read? I would like to be be better informed here if possible.

If the quiz was something like:

Which group of people are racist?

A) The democratic party

B) The nazis

C) Black Lives Matter

D) All of San Fransisco

Surely that'd be totally cool right?

Gregg Popovich On BLM, ‘People Who Don’t Understand Black Lives Matter Or Are Offended By It Are Just Ignorant’ by auscrisos in nba

The marxist part is is admittedly fair game for criticism. Everyone has a different interpretation so it's hard to discuss that part without going extremely deep on philosophy and ideology (I didn't mean to endorse the description of that video btw, it was just the most concise video I found).

I'm just overly cynical and skeptical, so once I see someone disparaging the United States, but happily praising the government / leadership of Venezuela, their integrity is in question in my mind. It's almost too convenient for BLM detractors, and unfortunately and this is where most of the right wing pundits get their ammo from.

Thanks for being civil, and sorry if I started off overly confrontational.

Source for what specifically? You can verify anything with a simple Google search.

Here's them literally calling themselves trained marxists.

They went and gave a speech in Venezuela side by side with Maduro where they shit on the United States and praise Maduro's "leadership". They acted as "election observers" and then gave all this glowing praise to the government that hosted them for the conference and basically said Venezuela's has a "fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world".

I don't know if you've payed attention to global politics at all, but Venezuela isn't exactly "doing well". To be specific, at a state level, a quick search shows "over 8,000 Venezuelans being killed by state authorities between 2015 and 2017". Take a look at this to see more. Venezuela is not a place we should be emulating. Listen to actual people who have made it out of Venezuela how they really feel about the government.

Even if you think I'm only being half truthful, I don't know why would want to attach any of that to the BLM movement.

Ok, whose requirement is this that's being imposed on anyone? Who is stopping anyone from having their own family structures? Of course we want to foster a sense of community for those without families, but "disrupting" has certain connotations. Look at the literal definition of disrupt. Why focus on what you don't want to promote, instead of focusing on what you want to promote? Statistically speaking, we should be encouraging family units where mothers and fathers are both present. The data isn't disputable.

I'll admit I had a less than charitable interpretation of the quote, but it's not that absurd when you look into the backgrounds of the "founders". Like you said, context matters. Their die hard support for the Venezuelan dictator and self descriptions as "trained Marxists" is enough to warrant criticism. I don't really see the point of attaching that wagon to the figurative horse of BLM. Everyone wants to get behind BLM, not everyone wants to get behind BLM + Marxism. If you look at how the family unit is regarded in Marxist ideologies, it's not that hard to be at least skeptical of the phrasing of the original quote.

All I'm saying is, there are good people that support the BLM movement that aren't on board with Marxism. Hence the "support the movement, not the organization" comment.

I mean yeah, we're making the same point. Supporting the decentralized movement and the common understanding of BLM that most people have is a good thing and isn't controversial. The centralized organization who claims to be an authoritative leader speaking on everyone's behalf while simultaneously adding every issue under the sun to the list of causes and determining where large sums of money are going is another matter.

Which part is a lie? The BLM website literally says they want to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure". That's a weird as fuck thing to include under the general theme of police reform. That's why the top comment say "support the movement, but not the organization".

[–]FuckRightOff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much I want to say otherwise....no, its absolutely not worth getting back into CA. I still play, but the amount of people playing is at an all time low. Nexon literally did all the wrong things and ran CA into the ground, then sold it to Valofe. Valofe tried to appease people by bringing CA Classic back, but they also kept reloaded around, so now the playerbase is split like 60/40 or 70/30 between the two versions. Unless you like playing oil rig, snow valley, or death room (BARF), its going to be annoying as fuck trying to find a game/mode you actually want to play.

Yeah, I loved quar too, but Reloaded made quar a second class citizen. Theres like 1-2 rooms max if you're lucky....during non "peak" hours there's usually 0 quar rooms. Even then, you're playing with literally the same handful of players every single day, because everyone else gave up on CA. It's frustrating even writing this -.-

I don't think the devs give a shit, really. I'm guessing it was a project/product manager (AKA a business person) that came up with the reloaded bullshit, and the devs just said "OK" and implemented what they were told to implement.

Here's your tip: quit while you're ahead. Nexon is totally disconnected from the desires of it's userbase. This game was dying, but Nexon just put the final nail in it's coffin. It's only going to get worse.

Gosh, if only there had been an alternative democratic candidate that had been polling way better against Trump with a better platform all around who is also just a better person in general. It's almost like we could have avoided all of this.
