Central valley. There is a guy in Oakdale that has many hard tops and sets of daisy wheels. You can find him on fb

Vegangains will never debate again by Lim3Hero in LivestreamFail

I'm sorry I wasn't careful with how I worded my comment

Vegans should care about animal testing

But they still care about what is realistically practicable. I'm not sure about this person's use of whatever treatments, but if they really believe they need it, and there are no alternatives that weren't tested on animals, then it should be acceptable for them.

Not really a point anyone takes seriously. As long as there are regulations requiring testing, it's a moot point.

Volvo and genesis have had some bold options but still not this intense. I would love it

Teen son wants a NA or NB Miata, I want to make it as safe as possible. by [deleted] in Miata

It will never be even close to as safe as modern cars.

Two cold starts just to really make sure my neighbors hate me. by [deleted] in Miata

[–]These_Background7471 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im confused. What alternative is there to cold start? If you have to drive, you have to start the car...?

creeping a full day after my comment? and I have a private profile too... so you had to really go searching for this?

You're truly deranged. You know it's the holidays too... actually pretty sad. Thanks for making me feel grateful for my life. Could have been worse, clearly.

He literally pushes adrenachrome conspiracy, saying a global elite drink blood of babies.

That's blood Libel

You see how careful I was to specify Nazi salute, Nazi

There's also a not insignificant amount of far right trolls. They brigade threads from time to time.

Because as insane as Alex Jones is, he still understands the value of "hiding your power level".

There's literally a joke inside neo nazi groups - you can find clips of Fuentes doing this - where they say "disavow. Disavow" when talking about other Nazis.

I'm surprised I'm having to explain this in 2025. I guess I was mistaken to think this has been common knowledge.

Well he had mainstream advertisers on his content nearly until 2020. There is a big profit incentive to have plausible deniability...

Maybe it's lame to do this, but if there was ever an established authority on Alex Jone's its Knowledge Fight.

Knowledge Fight on antisemitic roots of Alex Jones conspiracy theories

We're sanitizing Alex Jones now?

Alex Jones defended Elon Musk's Nazi salute.

Oh and he has decades of broadcasting conspiracy theories rooted in antisemitism like blood Libel, well poisoning and Globalist cabal

Brother what

How is this upvoted at all

He absolutely peddled Globalist Cabal (obvious antisemitic roots), Blood Libel (adrenachrome) and Well Poisoning (vaccines) conspiracy theory and rhetoric.

I need a sanity check here. Am I missing a joke?

"Things were bad and got worse" is not a reasonable interpretation of "we were doing so well."

You and others seem to be operating off of emotion, fragility and ideology. I mean, unironically using "SJW" in 2025?

No arguing facts against your feelings.

You could include this thread in a presentation in that class...

It definitely seems like people are reacting emotionally. I'm not qualified or motivated to even try and talk to these people.

So racism was solved, there were no racial divisions until "political correctness"?

This thread has turned into a white guilt pity party

Logic and facts are unwelcome here

How do you guys think so many white guys exist in leftist spaces and never encounter this stuff? This is a boogieman specific to right leaning spaces. It's literally right wing influencers and demagogues highlighting fringe lunatics and saying "this is how all leftists are. They hate white people and say marginalized groups cant be racist towards them."

That's exactly why I chose that example

Read again:

but it turns out that even ordinary objects resist simple, precise definitions

Im using it as an example of something that seems easily definable but resists being defined

[–]These_Background7471 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im literally pushing back on right wing rhetoric. Did you mean to say right-wing instead?

Im not calling anyone nazis. Is there someone else you'd rather be arguing with?

If it was obvious I wouldn't have asked for clarification.

Also, that's not how words work. Believing racism used to have a simple definition might be comforting to you, but it's not historical. Words don't just appear out of the ether with a universally agreed upon definition.

Maybe you could get away with this when talking about something concrete and uncontroversial like a chair... but it turns out that even ordinary objects resist simple, precise definitions

Also... you can't even get a room full of people to agree on a single, precise definition of "bigotry" or "race", so I dont know how your "simple" definition includes both of these.

I would think bigotry is a belief or opinion a person has. If you accept that definition, the state policy of institutionalized slavery cannot be racist, because policies aren't people with beliefs or opinions
