As a much older man I objectify this.

This small interaction sums the internet up perfectly.

Once upon a time I objected to the Black Lives Matter moniker. I didn't disagree with the message that black people need to be counted more than they were. I have always thought that I counted black people as equals to everyone, so I just subconsciously completed the sentence by adding the word "more" in my head. Thinking to myself "oh, they have a terrible branding issue because everyone who reads the phrase Black Lives Matter will automatically just think they mean Black Lives Matter More". But ultimately that wasn't the problem. It wasn't the phrase that was the issue.

What was the real problem was the inherent racism that had be ingrained into my consciousness by untold years of media and politics that continually make black people out to be lazy selfish useless people who only want a handout. (See Ronald Reagan's speech about the "welfare queen". Hint, he wasn't talking about a white woman.)

In the end the problem I had with the phrase "Black Lives Matter" wasn't their fault for picking a bad phrase. It was, in fact, me and my own preconceived notions of what a black person is and should be. All based on how society has portrayed them my entire life.

So now I very loudly say "BLACK LIVES MATTER". And more people need to embrace this instead of trying to logic it out of existence with the pointless platitude "well ackchually all lives matter" like some snivelling little child with an inferiority complex. Because yes all lives should matter but in our fucked up society black lives usually don't.

A newspaper owned by oligarchs grooming the country for their next puppet president? Couldn't possibly be.

Once you surrender your humanity it's very difficult to get it back. Behaving like they do, you'll become just as awful as they are. I'm not one to believe in the Democrats playing fair while the Republicans do whatever the fuck they want. I certainly think the Democrats, or any liberals that are in Congress, need to step up and use the rules that exist just as strongly as the Republicans have. But if we start ignoring the rule of law the way they are it no longer becomes relevant and we live not in a democracy but in a state of anarchic totalitarianism.

Not to mention the two towns that are currently being demolished by both SpaceX and his fucking garbage AI facility.

From the article:

Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI.

Let's call it what it is and stop sugar coating this white supremacist asshole. He's a racist piece if shit and has been given the massive bullhorn that was Twitter to spout his racist bullshit because the assholes who own Tesla stock keep giving him more money. Good people meed to fully cancel not only Tesla but SpaceX and any other company he is at the head of.

I don't care that Tesla has created innovative cars. They can be made by other companies just as easily. I don't care that SpaceX has innovative rockets. The technology exists it can exist again someplace else. This asshole needs to be canceled so hard that he can never come back again. The next non-conservative person who runs for president needs to run on a platform of ending any governmental relationship with Elon Musk, permanently.

Not to mention the ones they are simply cancelling their visas and other legal arrangements and then arresting and deporting. Steven Miller is white supremacist scum and should be tried for crimes against humanity.

Watching Glenn and Friends, I always marvel at this innovation. Wondering why we in America bother with so much package waste when milk can just come in a bag.

Right? These fucking billionaires act like they're existence is some kind of grace to everybody around them. As if they just exude money instead of continually extracting it from the economy making the lives of everyone around them worse.

I'm sure the Californians are shaking in their boots at this.

"How does an argument over a television program end up with a murder, an attempted murder and a suicide?" he said.

BECAUSE HE HAD A GUN ASSHOLE.

No one that fucked up should be allowed to own firearms.
