Political rants

@projectotakux Sorry to hear about your mom's friend. We haven't talked much about it. A few pages back rei was pointing out idiots on Twitter were giving stupid takes on it, linking it to Rittenhouse as karma or retribution. There's speculation of intent. The mainstream media is trying to distance it from being about race, which that point is fair. There's no guarantee that all the people at the parade were white. Why anyone is linking it at all is because of some of his social media posts. But some outlets are either calling it an "accident" or putting the blame on the SUV not the person. He has a violent criminal history, also a sex offender, and the big issue with it is that he was released 3 days prior on a bond of $1000 for running over his girlfriend. There's an internal investigation regarding his low bail and release. One of the children in critical condition died. So now 6 dead. https://mobile.twitter.com/MajorityuSilent/status/1462873173486190592 https://mobile.twitter.com/DebraMessing/status/1463543990712774669 https://mobile.twitter.com/nypost/status/1463510367188013063 https://mobile.twitter.com/MrNukemCocaine/status/1462660666041458692 https://mobile.twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1463603131305050116 https://mobile.twitter.com/HurtonMarius/status/1463536286015365128 https://mobile.twitter.com/TySparks8/status/1463304916265541632

I still feel the man that ran over those people should face the death penalty. I'm not wasting energy on a person that mentally broken.

@reisenpai That is just Twitter's embryos spouting thier usual braindead nonsense. Don't waste energy on those uninformed hot takes @verucassault The person who made his bail low clearly had no braincells left. Brooks was also charged with bail jumping, because he was already out on bail following a July 24, 2020, incident, according to court documents. In a statement, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office now said that they should not have recommended such a low bail for Brooks and have launched an internal review into the decision. “The State’s bail recommendation in this case was inappropriately low in light of the nature of the recent charges and the pending charges against Mr. Brooks,” the office said. “The bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office toward matters involving violent crime, nor was it consistent with the risk assessment of the defendant prior to setting of bail.” Source: https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/wisconsin-waukesha-christmas-parade-car-plow-11-22-21/index.html I am still baffled as to how someone wluld make such a low IQ bail amount for someone this psychopathic

@gabriel_true You're not the only one, I feel the same

@dyadka_yar @chocopyro I saw you both talking about SPLC and maybe this was already mentioned and I missed it, but, as a supporter of third party / independent candidates, I personally see them as a leftist organization that is far more about making political opponents look bad than reporting hate organizations. As was pointed out, BLM was omitted, despite being by far the most destructive hate group in the USA in the past few years, and I noticed the Black Panthers aren't there either. For the record, I think there are many good Black people out there so this isn't about being anti-Black, but rather pointing out SPLC's leftist favoritism when deciding who is and isn't a hate group. Also, note SPLC's use of the term "White Nationalist", which is something usually only leftist organizations use. Had SPLC and everyone else who horrendously misuses the term picked up a dictionary, they might notice it means a White person who is loyal to, proud of, and/or devoted to their nation. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with hate or racism contrary to political mythology. One glaring omission from SPLC's list: Planned Parenthood. This organization was founded by Margaret Sanger for the purpose of wiping out the Black population by murdering their babies. Her evil plan: to get important members of the Black community to encourage Black people to have their babies murdered via abortion. Though she never joined them, she once gave a speech to the KKK they found so hatefully inspiring that she received a dozen invites from the Klan to give more speeches. Black leaders assisting in annihilating their own race sounds insane, but consider today Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus both openly support Planned Parenthood's racist carnage while NAACP and BLM, an organization supposedly dedicated to preserving Black lives, ignores by far the #1 cause of Black death/murder in the USA. For those who think "Oh, Planned Parenthood isn't like that anymore", then please do explain why roughly 80% of Planned Parenthood centers are located in minority areas, and why despite Blacks accounting for only 13% of the U.S. population they account for 39% of abortions? Yet SPLC refuses to classify them as a hate organization.

@mirai_k I actually went through a lot of FBI stuff last night and I found no mention of BLM or Black Panthers there either, which is strange considering the FBI's bad history of using coentelpro tactics against their former incarnation. Plenty of other ACTUAL black nationalist and black separatist groups get that distinction. They classify the black panthers as more of an urban militia, and BLM is a variety of anti hate organizations. Most of which are peaceful believe it or not. It's like trying to sort out Antifa or other libertarian/anarchist groups. They're a decentralized collation, not a group. You have to go cell by cell when determining who the violent ones are. And the more you label an entire movement as violent, the harder you make it for the peaceful majority to get their message out. Most of the time that message links back to this subject. https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Jan-6-Clearinghouse-FBI-Intelligence-Assessment-White-Supremacist-Infiltration-of-Law-Enforcement-Oct-17-2006-UNREDACTED.pdf (You could read a much more detailed report here, where context is provided by a former FBI agent.) https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/hidden-plain-sight-racism-white-supremacy-and-far-right-militancy-law Combined with this: https://static.prisonpolicy.org/images/policekillings_rates.png Not gonna get into the incarceration rate today. And no, the term White Nationalist was originally just another rebranding that they used to describe their beliefs because fascist and white supremacist carry a certain undesirable stigma. White nationalist was just more palatable. It's an ideology, not a group. Just like BLM, you have to go from group to group to figure out who the most violent ones are. The left kinda latched onto it. One thing about the left is they royally suck at branding. They didn't invent terms like Social Justice Warrior. Those were thrown on them. Also, I'm with you on the Margaret Sanger stuff though, as that's not the only form of eugenics and depopulation that black communities have had to endure. Here's another that often gets overlooked. Lead paint. A lot of places in low income urban communities (Let's not sugar coat it; Ghettoes.) were coated with lead paint back in the day, and that stuff doesn't age well. There's been a nation wide ban since 1971, but in places like Baltimore, their housing dates back to the 1920s where the walls have never been stripped of it. https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthlinkbc-files/lead-paint-hazards "What are the health hazards of lead exposure? Exposure to lead-based paint usually occurs from ingestion. Lead-based paint does not present a health hazard as long as the paint is not chipping, flaking, crushed or sanded into dust. Low levels of exposure to lead can cause health effects such as learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. High levels of exposure to lead may cause lead poisoning and other issues such as anemia and impaired brain and nervous system functions. Currently there is no known safe level of lead exposure and no known safe blood lead concentration. However, as lead exposure increases, the range and severity of symptoms and effects also increases. While the public’s exposure to lead has decreased over the years, lead can still be a problem. It is important to be aware of lead sources so you can minimize your health risks. Who is at higher risk? Infants, children and pregnant women are at higher risk. Toddlers and children can ingest lead because of their frequent hand-to-mouth activity and tendency to mouth or chew objects. Children absorb and retain more lead into their bodies compared to adults. For pregnant women, even low levels of lead can affect the growth of the developing baby." See also: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-29/why-lead-paint-still-haunts-industrial-cities-in-the-u-s "One milligram of dust. That’s all the lead it takes to poison a child—the equivalent of three granules of sugar. Years before his death, Freddie Gray was found to have 35 micrograms of lead in his blood—seven times the amount that can impair brain development, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Though Gray would eventually symbolize a far more visible tragedy, his life also represents that of many young children in Baltimore who have been devastatingly poisoned by lead paint. In fact, lead poisoning has become so common in Baltimore ghettos that local children are often referred to as “lead kids.” So anytime some dude tries to tell you about the IQ of black people, and why they aren't smart enough to have the same privileges as white people, make them raise their kids in lead plaster dust, see how they like it. Though this is more of a n example of systemic racism than overt racism. Just an oversight that they could have fixed back in the 1950s, but didn't. No one in BLM talks about this, that and the other thing, because they feel more threatened by the cops. Logic is panic's prey.

@chocopyro Lead paint exposure effecting IQ of children in less fortunate communities. I would have never thought about it that way.

@projectotakux Most of the time civil rights discussions don't make it that far. There's a long list of problems that are a lot more alarming.

I just heard that Germany's PM intends to negotiate some kind of "United States of Europe"... I mean, that spells big trouble because Latin Europe, Germanic Europe and Slavic Europe are so culturally different. And there is little to no cultural amalgamation like there is in countries like the US or Brazil.

Also. I find it funny White Nationalists or blatant Racists use the argument of "Blacks having inferior IQ", when IQ isn't the sole quocient to determine rationality.
