Some jobs ask for your social before you can even submit.

Pffft I ain’t got one. Deleted that shit in 2014, keep up managers.

Yes yes.

thing is said

thing is repeated by others

“I disagree with thing”

“they didn’t mean thing literally.”

well then don’t say “thing,” or create more clearly intentional metaphors that can’t be taken literally ffs

And no it isn’t “only to racists to illustrate how their racism comes across” that statement requires more proof than mine which you’ve already admitted is “a metaphorical” reality.

So given your bizarre weirdo fucking takes here and the fact that you’re strangely hung up on this, you are basically telling me you are a racist who has heard this more than a couple of times, due to your racism. Now, go the fuck away, racist twat.

No, you’re projecting that based on your preconceived notions of what I’m supposed to be, based on me disagreeing literally with an argument you presuppose isn’t literal. The only difference is I take it literally and you don’t and imo neither of us has the authority to make that call. You think you do have the right to decide what they mean literally or figuratively, I take their words at face value.

No u what the fuck, if you’re not a part of the Native American population why do you get to prescribe literality or figurality (made up two words just now) of their statements? Seems presumptive to me tbh, unless you are a part of their population but AFAIK there’s no “what the fuck” tribe so I doubt that was you answering my question (I hope you don’t need the /s to feel the sarcasm flow through your screen.)

Look, people like this actually exist (9min mark). I’m talking about “people who agree that white people should move back to Europe” specifically, and why they are wrong. He goes on to offer a couple weak alternatives to decolonization, but those suggestions aren’t even close to being actual figuative explanations of “go back to europe” (and he’s just as white as I assume you are, so, until we get someone native in here…)

Black Israelites are wrong too, and a minority, does that mean I can’t say anyone who believes in Jakub is an absolute fucking moron? Nope, they’re dumb as hell.

I guess “define many” but it’s a common enough trope in the US, and you know that as evidenced by your acknowledgment that:

“when it is said it’s not meant literally. It’s meant to make a point.”

Which, also, which tribe are you speaking for? Do you belong to that tribe? Are you empowered to speak for their entire community?

And why doesn’t that logic apply from the land the Saxons stole from the Celts, exactly?

Oh yeah, for sure (and we’re really simplifying “Africa” dude it’s so fucking big but…) it’s all migration all the way down. That’s honestly my entire point.

Honestly I’m pretty sure that before agrarian societies invented agriculture “humans” (which btw how exactly are we defining this) were nomadic by necessity, I’m not entirely sure anyone “knows” our origin localities by race or what exactly should be the “go back” defining line especially if we all spread from Africa as our current theories support.

In fact, actually that’s a good fucking point! If we all came from Africa at the end of the day, do I have to, as a white…I guess…African?.. Have to repatriate to Africa like Sizzla Kalonji (love him even if he hates me) advocates for “Africans” to do? as since I’m one of “everyone” I would qualify despite the color of my skin? Wouldn’t then, if everyone is descended from Africans (and afaik that actually is the current scientific consensus), everyone on the entire earth “need” to repatriate back to Africa?

It just makes no sense to me when broken down, IMO let everyone move where they want and they’re from where they were born even if they’re ethnically “X” and we’re all actually technically African.

Some people in Africa might be descendents of the people from whom all currently living people all over the world descended from some fifty thousand years ago.

Definitionally, that has to be true. If X are the descendants of everyone, some of “everyone” are in Africa, therefore “all people in Africa are descendants of the people all living people are descended from.”

In fact that would mean "Some All people in Africa might be are descendents of the people from whom all currently living people all over the world descended from some fifty thousand years ago.

But then again, the same happened in Europe centuries earlier and probably everywhere in the world at some point.

This is the thing that kills me about “white people give back stolen land and go back to Europe.”

Like, ok, I’m part British, part German, part French. Never been to any of the three, which one do I go “back” to then? And then, still can I? How do I know if I’m really Gaul, Norman, Vandal, Saxon, Beaker, hell even Roman? All of those occupied those regions at some point (and more, I’m sure, I need to learn more about Ye Olden Europe actually), which one am I (mostly, after half a fucking thousand years I’m sure I’m “mixed” if we’re splitting “white” like this) and then where were they originally from?

Like yes what happened 200yr ago was deplorable, but I was born like 30yr ago, tf you mean “go back,” to where?

And all too common, sadly.

Not to mention they do have something to hide. When someone says that I say “ok let me in your phone right now, I’m gonna read your texts and emails and look for nudes in your camera roll” and not one “nothing to hide” person has taken me up on that for some reason…

It’s one of the opening events of the Summer of Ludd, a weeklong series of talks and activities like how to flirt and date offline, mending, and learning to fight against data centers, all focused on getting people off their phones and into community.

Somewhat paradoxically, I hope they film and post these somewhere so that people like me who can’t afford to travel can still benefit from the knowledge. Like, I know how to flirt and date offline (actually don’t know how to online) but am too neurodivergent to understand where is appropriate now beyond bars (since I stopped Honky Tonkin’ that is), mending is useful af and I could use improvement over my current skillset, fuck a goddamn data center, and I struggle to find cool things/events in my community now that everything is on facebook (beyond nature, but nature is a solitary pursuit and not conducive to meeting anyone besides other stoners, not that I’m complaining too hard but I don’t only like other stoners.)

I’m somewhat of a luddite myself, but still recognize the value of the internet in spreading information (like posting the videos of those talks) and communication (which is just packet radio assisted by infrastructure, really).

snuff film

noun

A movie in a purported genre of movies in which an actor is actually murdered or commits suicide

A film that shows, or purports to show, the actual deliberate killing of one of the performers.

Sorry but no, that is the misconception I’m speaking of. Back when this was originally posted months ago it prompted me to look it up, finding the definition, which quite clearly through the use of the words “actor” and “performers” does differentiate it from simple videos of death/murder to mean a scripted work that contains a death/murder. Which makes more sense in the “snuff films are a myth” context, because quite clearly “videos of death” are verifiably real, which would put that entire debate to rest.

Wait I thought to be a true “snuff film” it had to be like an actual scripted narrative film with like “filmmakers” wherein someone is murdered on screen for real, not just home murder movies, am I wrong? If any recorded murder counts then of course there’s snuff films, 3 guys 1 hammer comes to mind, BTK, etc, but I thought it had to be like a proper movie.

If I’m right then this is more of a home movie/blackmail material situation, I don’t think they have like a secret Woody Allen film (though nothing is impossible, he’s in the files, they could.)
