OT LeBron James said Kyle Rittenhouse should 'knock it off' after the teen cried during murder trial

[Orion Bailey]

then fuck, let's take back the swastika! It was a sign for divinity! fuck those nazis. how dare they. Sometimes, someone uses something so badly, you dont wanna keep using it, since it wasnt something you use too much anyways.

one of the dumbest posts ive read here…

 

[Orion Bailey]

Fuck it. Everyone who doesn't think like me is a fucking racist!!!
And since i know most dont think like me,

and ill be the judge of what you think is right or wrong!!!

Lol.

Dismissing the spread of the hand signal as a hoax overlooks two hard realities: first, that its increasing use gives open license to actual racist ideologues to operate and recruit under the cover of the “plausible deniability” established by less ideological young trolls; and second, that any kind of wink-and-nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization.

While the people who flash the sign can always readily claim innocence of any racist intent by attesting that they “only meant it ironically” and that their real purpose was to anger liberals, minorities and “social justice warriors (SJWs),” they can’t so readily escape ethical culpability for their role in the spread of hateful ideologies and their effects, including a global spike in hate crimes. Nor can they blame members of the minority groups who reasonably find such hand signals potentially threatening for being upset.

Radical fascists have, after all, historically taken advantage of the “marketplace of ideas” as a useful platform for spreading their toxic ideology — the outcome of which always entails the utter destruction of that marketplace and its replacement with authoritarian propaganda. When far-right ideologues retreat to a “free speech” defense amid claims of left-wing persecution — which is what memes like the “OK sign” are designed to do — this is always their long-term goal.

This may be the most successful troll in the history of trolling. “A OK” is literally still an emoji on every smart phone lol. Even woke tech companies who build phones were like “no that’s stupid.” I didn’t realize people were still getting duped by this. Congratulations for holding strong and standing up to my evil racist aunt who still uses this secret code in between texting cat memes. You sir, are a legend.

In many parts of Asia, the swastika is still being used as a religious symbol. My mother-in-law has a gold necklace with a swastika (left-facing) as its face. Lives in America and wears it to the temple regularly.

aell because the higher moral authority says so, your mother in law is a racist!!


Thats green font, just to be clear, as i honestly dont think labeling people a racist is a joke and should be taken lightly( which is why this bullshit is so frustrating), even though some people look for any angle under the sun to justify their emotional instability and anger they pour onto others with their opinions slated as facts…and love to call anyone whatever they feel without truly knowing…

Notice how a certain couple of people aren't willing to say your mother in law is stupid, derp derp and she is likely a racist, derp derp?


Because they have huge double standards themselves…

make fun of @SlyPokerCat and my intelligence but completely silent on your mother in law.

just some hypocrites trying to spread their moral authority around as if their opinion is the end all and anyone else with a different opinion is an idiot.

If they come after you or your mother in law, ill be right there to push back on that too.


Context matters, but lets just belittle people who disagree with ourselves without any acknowledgement of context…


Oh yeah… derp derp….

I remember labeling a young man as a homosexual when I was 15. Now, don't get me wrong except for a couple bad experiences when I was about ten I've never really had anything against homosexuals but I got caught up in the crowd of peers of mine who did have a dislike for homosexuals and let that take over my natural tendency. It turned out that the young man wasn't even a homosexual. I say this because we shouldn't be quick to label someone this or that. Some racists are easy to spot but many are not so I'm not going to be one to quickly judge. I'm not saying you all should be like me but I am saying it's something I wish you'd all chew on. Try not being quick to judge someone.

Yeah I’ve been reading it, it’s bad. We seem to have brushed over “guy runs over 5 people” rather quickly, while opting to discuss “outdated hand gestures old people still use” in great detail. Good to know people are out there standing up to actual problems.

priorities of the moral authority of S2 ya know…

i already brought my enlightenment to the thread. But the moral authority had no idea these things happen so often. Once made aware, made little other comment until the hand gesture thing came up. Then sprung back into action with that moral authority without ever addressing how tragic these things are other than, you know… eye for an eye because it…resonated…

derp derp…

derp derp.

His mother is undoubtedly a Buddhist.
I once worked with a Buddhist lady at Tektronix. She married a man who had a swastika looking symbol on his arm which confused me because they were the nicest couple you ever met. I learned that Buddhists use a symbol very similar to a swastika except I think the symbols are reversed in direction.

Nazi vs Buddhist

Talking to me? Well, that's a sickness that really needs to be addressed. I recommend a good shrink. I will lead you only to depravity.

nah according to some she is a racist.



Again green font. I mean no serious disrespect.

[Orion Bailey]

Well, it would be amusing for anyone to mistake my mother-in-law as a Nazi or a white supremacist being that she's a sweet old Asian lady.

I think it's unfair to call anyone a racist simply because they use the A-OK hand gesture. As you and @SlyPokerCat have pointed out, a lot of people still use it for its (original) intended purpose. But the fact of the matter is, white supremacists have been using that gesture to identify themselves as such (and likely to troll libs). Do I think we should no longer use that gesture because it's used by dipshit white supremacists? No. If white supremacists want to identify themselves with whatever signs, I'm cool with that. I'd rather deal with an openly racist than a closeted one.

agreed.
An open racist… well some, are actually able to have a discussion about it, not that i agree with them at all.
I think trying to discuss, understand( why they think like they do)and educate( so they no longer think like they do) is better than violence.
The closet ones are the ones that i find concerning.

Im shy, quiet and keep to myself, then one day… bam!! Racially motivated tragedy…

Now to be 100% impartial, there is a chance shy guy goes craZy because they think their support is growing because they see things like this.
The propelling of some silly thing pushing a racial narrative. The more its pushed by the libs the more these crazies think their thoughts are not uncommon.
Because of the push of this racial narrative, the true racists think they have backup.
“See how many are like me?” When we really aren't, but because of people allowing the few racists to dictate what means what, the crazies think there are more of them than there are…


Its called feeding the false frenzy until its real and i have no idea why people would want to do that, other than to pull the crazies out of the woods and have them unite and create a war.

As sad as it is, racism will never go away anymore than greed, vanity or any other sin will go away.

this thought of ridding the planet of it will only end with the planet being rid of us.

its a blessing and a curse. To be free.
Freedom of thought.

but if we take it from them, nothing stops them from taking it from us in return.
So i say let them have thier corner and monitor it to make sure it doesn't get out of line.
Its pointless to try to wipe the planet clean. It wont happen. History has proven so.

Okay, don't think I should tell you, then. Don't want to maybe ruin it for your daughter-in-law.

I will ask her on thanksgiving day.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

LOL

Keep in mind that if she was born in America or came as a young child, she might not know.

My stepmom is vietnamese. Lived there for 40 years before coming to America. Should I ask her too?

 

[SlyPokerCat]

@Hoopguru @Orion Bailey @SlyPokerCat - Gentlemen, I think I might've led you astray in trying to amuse myself. The picture of the hand gesture I posted is very profane and offensive, and shouldn't be used in front of Vietnamese people with whom you want to maintain a relationship.

She is at my house right now though! It would have been the perfect time to show her.

Thats a good luck/cross my finger salute where I grew up.

Still widely seen in China with no thought of it being a Nazi symbol. Mostly only Westerners in China would relate it to Nazi's.

One last comment on this ugly case. If Rittenhouse didn't go to the demonstartion with evil intent, why is he doing a victory tour with dirtbags like Trump and Carlson? Why are some of the most vile members of the US Congress offering him jobs?

If you glory in rolling in shit, you are a pig, not a lamb.

I'm not defending the idiot, but he's doing it because he supports them and he is being paid well to go.

He may actually be psychotic. But something like 10% of the population is psychotic. Including many CEOs and great sports players.

I don't think anybody in this forum thinks he's a hero of any kind. At least not that I've seen. He put himself in a bad situation and that situation was handled poorly by everyone.

This is the Vietnamese hand gesture for Love & Peace. You should make one when you see a group of angry looking Vietnamese.

How do I get my fingers to pixelate like that?

You must first eat a minimum of two bags of these:




Be careful, they come in three packs. If you eat the third bag, your head will pixilate as well.

After fixing your fingers into said gesture, move your hand back and forth exceedingly fast. Results may vary.
