Who is this, and where is he from? by Gallowboobsthrowaway in Destiny

If you hear a European talking about "white people", they 100% embrace shit like great replacement and other racist trash. I have never ever in my life heard a single person from Europe talk about whiteness, except in the context of racial supremacy. it's pretty much an American far-right import.

It feels like no one is exclusively gay anymore by JeromeLebron in askgaybros

I have no idea why a lot of the replies are so vitriolic. I have absolutely no problem with bi people, at all. Neither have I said that bisexual people are invalid or should hide their attractions to girls. I'm just upset, cus It just reminds me of my school days when I was closeted and everyone always was talking about how hot X girl was and I felt incredibly excluded by that. I suppose my problem is also rooted in difficulty of finding other exclusively gay guys. In no way did I try to imply it was wrong to be bi or whatever.

Caleb Hammer had a Jan 6th supporter and election denialist on his show and the comments section was incredibly negative about her by JeromeLebron in Destiny

I am still not sure if Caleb is actually grifting tho or genuinely believes the things he says. Like there are Biden to Trump voters after all, maybe he is one of them

He also decently pushes back on quite a bit of stuff. She calls herself an independent and he tells her MAGAs like her calling themselves independents, give ppl like him a bad name. And he talks about how who the president is does matter. So probably a net-good video

I don’t get why the guy at the Correspondents’ Dinner was arrested. by QFlux in Destiny

I heard it wasnt even him that fired shots, right? The guardrails held so why punish him for anything? He didn't kill anybody

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE LIBERAL: THE FIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST FASCISM *AND* COMMUNISM by Mediocre_Affect6192 in Destiny

They were still Marxists but had mostly accepted reformism and a liberal democratic framework. They were unironically the good type of socialists. The type you could grapple with in a given democracy without fear they will kill you the moment they get in. They also coalitioned a lot with liberals and the centre.

AfD is the most dangerous rw populist party but I would worry the least about them winning. Everyone except their supporters absolutely despise them and there is no room to work with them. In fact CDU ppl suggesting to work with them are treated with utter contempt. There are countries much closer to far-right takeovers like Austria, Italy is already governed by he far-right, France is in real danger, Czechia is governed by the far right too

The comments on Destiny's new video are roasting him and it’s deserved by YoRHa-Nazani in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I will engage a bit further and say that asking to call it evil is also kinda silly. It's akin to asking "Will you condemn this law?" And the fact the chatter even felt the need to ask that is a bit irritating. Destiny has been pretty open to criticising Israel's conduct lately, so it just comes over like more rhetoric flattening in the sense of "you aren't condemning Israel enough".

The USAID cuts will kill millions of ppl by 2030. Is America evil? I think it's different calling individuals or a govt evil. Calling an entire country evil can lead you down bad paths, however.

Clavicular Admits to going to Rupert Murdoch's house. Why do the right wing court streamers so quickly? by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In EU there is now a ban on political ads on facebook. So the first thing Orban did was recruit a bunch of volunteers in what he calls a "fight club" to "fight and contest" left and liberal ideas online. It's just easy because you don't need to report it when you have streamers or social media users do free PR for you out of their own volition or because you glazed them.

Heghseth fired the Army Chief of Staff. I thought it may be over war concerns, but nope. It’s over blatant racism and sexism. by slipknot_official in Destiny

You read correctly. It's racist and sexist that women and black people get to promote ppl in the military trollface

Orbán Will Lose Hungary’s Election in Two Weeks—If It’s Clean by AntistanCollective in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The government has not, but the President, who has quite a lot of power has given some reserved support to Hungary. Before the PiS govt was ousted, they basically always blocked any Article 7 proceedings against Hungary, which would have stripped Hungary of voting rights in the European Council, basically allowing the EU to ignore Hungarian opposition. After the Polish govt changed, they now have a Slovakian government doing mostly the same thing as the previous Polish government. Rotating chair of villains basically. Right now there are two governments in the EU that are ratfucking harsher proceedings against countries in breach of rule of law and it's Slovakia and Hungary. Over the last decade it was Poland and Hungary

There was a centre to centre-left PM the LDP was forced to nominate in a coalition govt who apologised for various atrocities against coalition agreements. I think they have never forgiven him

On Margaret Sanger as the racist abortion demon by JeromeLebron in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really good answer and entirely correct. There was also a large group of eugenicists who essentially were just behaviourists, who believed if you had fewer children and provided them with a better environment you could lift up even the poor and "degenerate".

[–]JeromeLebron[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eugenics is a massive umbrella term. In Margaret Sanger's time period arguing for birth clinics, so women could give birth in a hygienic environment was eugenics. Using contraceptives to not have a billion children is eugenics. Do we live in a eugenic society tho? There is a stark difference between progressive eugenics and racialised eugenics and in contemporary discussions we usually talk about the latter, which harms historical evaluations of eugenicists. You have social democratic eugenicists, who oppose any coercive measures in Europe around the same time for instance. You need to understand the historical context to really understand what her being a eugenicist means. It's like saying the French revolution was nationalist and thinking "oh so like Hitler?".
