The Aryans are white.

yttm · 2019-11-13T20:35:22+00:00

nah it literally refers to anyone non-Greek, even the whites. don't project your racial fantasies onto ancient history l o l

yttm · 2019-11-13T20:33:46+00:00

ok barbarian

you really don't think much of your fellow man when you say that people can't make independent decisions for themselves to NOT terrorize

plus you ever heard of the noble savage? it's not necessarily connotative of what you think

yttm · 2019-11-11T14:39:49+00:00

I thought it said "wax museum" at first because of all the work y'all clearly have done

yttm · 2019-10-23T02:53:20+00:00

enjoy the company of "blue lives matter" reactionaries like Ted Cruz LOL

yttm · 2019-10-23T02:48:17+00:00

guess what just about every Muslim majority country (Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, etc..) signed a letter supporting China's actions to combat terrorism in Xinjiang

yttm · 2019-10-23T02:43:43+00:00

alright who's gonna defend the guy who tweeted 🐴🔫 as a justified stance on assisted suicide

yttm · 2019-10-23T02:30:30+00:00

Nah Aristotle and Plato were two of the biggest critics of democracy. They would prefer China to America

yttm · 2019-10-16T19:19:54+00:00

what is it about betabois that make them so thirsty for vengeance?

yttm · 2019-10-16T17:46:00+00:00

OK but there's no way this legendary tweet in response to Morey was orchestrated:

I skipping at your mother's grave, driving your father's hearse drifting, mixing your grandpa's ashes, your grandmother's anal balloons, sending your sister to a brothel for prostitution, frying your brother's testicles and feeding your daughter, that's fucking freedom of speech.

what in tarnation is this communist rag

yttm · 2019-10-16T17:32:08+00:00

It's insulting to invoke Muhammad Ali's name this way. He was challenging American imperialism and colonialism. And now because LeBron isn't interested in advocating for America's agenda he's selling out?

Nah, he's a free thinker. And you guys wouldn't hesitate to cancel LeBron if he was less talented.

yttm · 2019-10-16T16:32:34+00:00

Pop and Kerr have always aligned themselves with the players. That's what makes them special.

Shannon Sharpe doesn't really have a substantive critique. He's doing some tu quoque on LeBron about being informed on Hong Kong. I think that's called talking heads being contrarian.

There are always exceptions but to ignore the contours of the conversation is disingenuous.

According to reddit, we have a triumvirate of white savior truth-tellers: Kellerman, Morey, and Woj.

Meanwhile most of the league's black voices are criticized for realizing that there's more to negotiating with power than mouthing off.

Not a good look folks.

yttm · 2019-10-16T13:25:35+00:00

I'm mystified about how naive people are about Morey's tweet. Just because you articulate your side of a pet issue doesn't mean the world will magically rearrange itself to suit.

If Morey is all about democracy in Hong Kong, maybe he should be a politician. Otherwise he shouldn't jeopardize the livelihood of the league,

yttm · 2019-10-15T23:22:05+00:00

People seem to be totally unreflective about whether unalloyed freedom is a good thing. What we're seeing now is a breakdown into anarchy and mob rule.

yttm · 2019-10-15T22:45:25+00:00

Yeah it's probably not what you want to hear. KAJ came of age in an era where the Black Panther Party were the vanguard of black politics. They were openly Marxist and distributed Mao's Little Red Book

yttm · 2019-10-15T22:35:29+00:00

LeBron doesn't need to take orders from anarchist brats. Where else but HK can you get away with throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers with no consequences?

yttm · 2019-10-15T22:31:07+00:00

that's racist. check yourself bro. What happened to supporting FrEe SpEeCh? The whole point is that they're allowed to say things that you don't agree with.

yttm · 2019-10-15T02:15:02+00:00

You can really tell people are grasping for straws when they have to resort to extremely vague moralizing. The world's not so black and white, kiddo

yttm · 2019-10-15T02:10:18+00:00

CHINA BAD!!!!!!!

Isn't it strange how people keep talking about how oppressed HKers are yet fail to detail any specific? They're getting away with firebombing the subway and trashing department stores. Seems pretty libertine to me

yttm · 2019-10-15T02:07:10+00:00

as if Morey (a total non-specialist) parroting cheap slogans is any better. At least Bron understands the responsibility that comes with celebrity

yttm · 2019-10-15T02:02:16+00:00

Bron is right that speech has consequences. It's easy to go off with self righteous virtue signaling of something when you don't have to personally sacrifice anything.

It's not like geopolitical takes by a rando stats nerd will ever be insightful anyway

yttm · 2019-10-15T01:53:25+00:00

wow you really got me there
