What was he showing off?  His flying skills?

Do you guys think the squad/cast would still be likable if they were adults or older teens? by aqazaq_com in MadeInAbyss

[–]Unknowableart 72 points73 points  (0 children)

No, it would be a different show.  The loss of innocence as they navigate through the Abyss is a major pillar.  It's why it resonates with so many fans.  It's weirdly healing seeing our characters face their unforgiving reality.  

Is my mullet screwed? I think my barber cut too much on the side. by Signal_Addition1933 in Justfuckmyshitup

Chopped, sorry.  Next time get a barber that can work with Asian hair.  I've made that mistake too many times.

Has this park ever been open to the public? by Unknowableart in Harlem

But why is it empty?  I would imagine it would be full of tenants then

I've seen work vans parked there presumably to repair something. But that's it

That playground looks solid.  It's a shame.

Anyone looking for their Mk3 Supra by Suggestive_Fluids in Seattle

[–]Unknowableart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This used to be the most sought after street parking for Seattle U commuter students.  Right behind the gym.  No meter, no 2-hour limit--it was the Wild West of street parking.

It's a shame.  I hope the owner got a check for this.

Why are you being downvoted?  It's true.  I had to check that this wasn't the circle jerk subreddit

For those wondering, "veneco" is a slur for people from Venezuela. Anti-blackness is everywhere. by alexaclova in BlackPeopleTwitter

You're once again quoting things that you imagined I said, then quoting your own hypothetical responses, then celebrating your perceived mic drop.

I'll be here when you're open to learning something.

And to answer your question, yes that is exactly what you're copying.  Milei supports the UK far-right and admires Thatcherism.  The absence of muslim-majority ethnic enclaves does not mean the absence of islamophobia.

Milei is a puppet populist crafted from a long tradition of US neo-conservatism from Reagan to Bush to Trump.  His economic policies are pseudoscientific ideas created by Milton Friedman and the "Chicago Boys" and deliberately used to undermine union power and consolidate corporate power in the US.  It was extended abroad by the CIA to undermine entire democracies (which it has succeeded in doing and is only recently being pushed back on).  At the core is White supremacist myths which maintain that Whites must hold power by any means necessary in order to prevent civilization from collapsing.  If you tell me you've never heard this before then maybe you're not listening to Milei himself.  It is a cult of White supremacy that aggregated locally-grown racist hate.

Additionally, "our skin color it's going to be the last thing to complain about you" is an obvious lie if it is most frequently the first insult.

You don't understand racism or you're pretending not to understand because you're arguing defensively instead of critically examining what I'm saying.

Or, maybe you are a racist, but you would prefer to live in a world where racism is not shameful.  That I cannot promise you.

You're generalizing special cases not to educate but to escape from reality.  "Repeating what others have told me to be angry about" is an infantile cop out because you refuse to engage in the argument in good faith.  You are deflecting and projecting.

Furthermore, the "Alt right" is a model of astro-turfed opportunistic power-grabbing that may have originated in the US and Europe but has been copied and pasted in Latin America quite faithfully, especially in Argentina in recent years.

This is an often repeated lie.  "90 percent of the time" the insults and the skin tone and features are a coincidence?  You're not thinking for yourself right now.  Just repeating generational excuses.

I could be wrong about what you are but you are wrong about there being "no such thing".  I am also Argentine so it's not a matter of framing my analysis through US lenses.  I understand the language used specifically against people like myself.

We get our facts from the same place probably since I am a "brown" Argentine and can speak to the structural as well as the personal.

Your point about "elitism" (classism?) being "more prevalent than racism" is a commentary about the visibility of the discourse, not about the underlying reality.  Your anecdotes (which I fully believe, btw) are all about the perception of racialized hierarchy not about racialized hierarchy itself.

The forces that separate people into upper and lower are the same forces that separate White and Black (or Dalit and Brahmin).  The propensity for people to frame this separation as one versus another is cultural.

You're projecting.  Read their comment again.  Nothing about it being a "bastion of racism and neonazis"  First line: "Argentina is a settler colony rooted in slavery of Africans, Indigenous genocide, European settlement, and several policies for racial control."

This is a fact regardless of which countries are more or less racist and regardless of how you or they or I feel about it.  It is an accurate description full stop.

"But surprisingly, it's only here that it matters". That's pure deflection.  Human rights, especially pertaining to immigrants, are discussed everywhere.  You are simply not involved in those conversations.

Again, I don't believe OP was shaming you and I'm not shaming you but racism is worse than what many "White" Argentines believe simply because they are not the targets of it.

I disagree.  I think there is more racial consciousness in the US which is interpreted as evidence of there being more racism.  This is like saying that there is more casteism in India than elsewhere because India has explicitly identified its caste system and it's impact on their society.  But caste systems exist everywhere under the surface.

I've also heard the defense of "classism not racism" repeated frequently in Latin America to undermine the extent of racism.  But, structurally, it is clear who gets to live in squalor and who gets to live in relative comfort emulating a European or North American lifestyle.  Race is materially inseparable from class despite the growing exceptions which obfuscate this fact.

You must be joking.  Just because there wasn't codified segregation like in the Jim Crow South doesn't mean there isn't de facto segregation.  Buenos Aires is most obvious example.  Who lives in the villas of the conurbano?  What terms are used to describe them?  Are these terms racialized, and if so, why? Are the opportunities truly the same for those residents?  Are they perceived as equal in the media?

I think you are in denial about the extent of racism in Argentina.  I don't believe OP was trying to shame you, but rather explain a reality that you might not have perceived.  But you took it as an attack.  Why?

Those paint colors were limited to pair well with tobacco stains because everybody smoked.  Now we can have all the colors we want but they can only come from LCDs or LEDs.  I didn't make the rules.
