      He was often called a white supremecist in debates and always challenged people to tell him what he had ever said that reflected that, and no one ever had an answer. He was a lot of things, but I don’t really think he was that. Do you have an answer? If he was, I would want to know, fuck racists.

          Culture has nothing to do with White Supremecy or any other form of racism or “scientific racism”. We can indeed have good and bad cultures; this being entirely subjective to individual opinions. Cultures are a social outcome, not a genetic one.

          People can “define white Supremecy” however they like, though it’s already well defined, so their personal definition may be confusing or discredit any other views they may share.

          I don’t think Charlie Kirk was a white supremecist at all, but there’s many different ways of being a total cunt. At a certain point of cuntiness, it really doesn’t matter if he was one or not.

            This is literally how dog whistles work, my friend. They don’t say what they’re saying, out loud. They hide it behind a veneer of rationality, that they think prevents certain people from hearing what they’re saying, while throwing a giant wink at the people that “get it”.

            When a white supremacist talks about “Western culture being superior to other cultures”…they are talking about “white culture”.

              Yeah, but people that aren’t white supremecist also say that. White supremecist from non-westrrn cultures say the same of their culture instead. White supremecist enjoy and emerse themselves into other cultures without it impacting their position of being genetically superior.

              What you’re trying to explain is called cultural chauvinism and it’s as related/unrelated to many other things as it is/isn’t to racial ideologies.

              No dog whistles here, just already very established and understood stuff.

              Plus, it’s White Supremecy here. There’s so much already there to work with. There’s no need to apply assumptions onto it and sell it as a new package.

                White supremecist from non-westrrn cultures say the same of their culture instead

                Which would indicate that it IS about white supremacy rather than culture. You’re negating your own stupid point.

                  Cultural chauvinism is the belief that one’s own culture is superior to others, often leading to prejudice against different cultural groups. This concept is commonly discussed in the context of international relations and communication, highlighting how such attitudes can affect interactions between nations and ethnicities.

                  A subset of…

                  Chauvinism is the unreasonable belief in the superiority or dominance of one’s own group or people, who are seen as strong and virtuous, while others are considered weak, unworthy, or inferior The Encyclopaedia Britannica describes it as a form of “excessive and unreasonable” patriotism and nationalism, a fervent faith in national excellence and glory.

                  Which is not the same as…

                  White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to those of other races.The belief favors the maintenance and defense of any power and privilege held by white people. White supremacy has roots in the now-discredited doctrine of scientific racism and was a key justification for European colonialism.

                  Here you go… https://www.routledge.com/Cultural-Chauvinism-Intercultural-Communication-and-the-Politics-of-Superiority/Ibelema/p/book/9780367710033

                  You would also do well to pay attention to the events of Daryl Davis.

                  On top of books and many studies on this, there’s also documentaries and reports if your attention span so needs this.

                  Or, you know, it’s all bullshit and you know best!

                  What’s your point?

                  It’s okay to redefine what White Supremecy is just so we get to call someone one?

                  This is cultural chauvinism or cultural imperialism; it is not white supremecy or any racial superiority ideology for that matter. These are two different, well-defined, and bad things. You don’t have to try force them together to make a bad thing. It’s already done. You win. Being either one or both is bad.

                  But it’s not exactly good to shift the goal posts to try frame a person you didn not like into being something you want them to be but cannot confirm that they were. That’s my point.

      Don’t give him the Trump treatment and rationalize his words in a way that are more acceptable to you. Words in general, but especially from politicians, should be taken at face value without an obvious reason to do otherwise. Newsom gives no indication here that he means anything other than what he’s literally saying.

          Sounds like she sucked at making people believe she would make a difference, which given this is killary “we came we saw he died” KKKlinton who’s husband is behind the “tough on crime” bill that is largely responsible for the size of the current prison inmate population in seppoland is completely understandable. Get better candidates or stop being surprised why no one would show up to vote for you.

              How? His strategy wasn’t based on motivating minorities to vote for him but Hillary’s was. He appealed to the racists and won, and she tried to make the case that she would improve things and failed.

                Well your argument seems to be that people will show up for a better candidate, and people showed up for him.

                Ergo, you think he was the better candidate.

                Unless of course your argument is basically you refuse to participate unless everyone else fixes everything for you, so you dont actually have do anything difficult to make things better yourself.

                If you wait for perfection to happen without you, it will never come. You have to fight for something better. Sometimes that means settling for something that’s not good enough yet so that things can get better later.

                  I dont get why everyone assumes this? I’m not in Seppoland but will always advocate for organizing with the PSL or DSA. That’s how NYC got Mamdani in position. Unless of course your argument is basically you refuse to do anything unless everyone else fixes everything for you, so you can then just vote for it.

                  Sometimes that means settling for something that’s not good enough yet so that things can get better later.

                  I mean thats basically your strat right? Keep voting for these candidates, Killary, Genocide Joe, Bomber Harris, now it looks like it could be gruesome newsom, until somehow, magically a good candidate that will fix everything comes along.

              The states aren’t over but the idea of American democracy is basically dead. The govt is just really fucking broken. Sure the country exists and will continue to do so, but the systems are clearly broken, corrupt, and rotten beyond the capability of the modern political reality to fix.

              As far as I can see best we can hope so is dramatic reform, like many many new amendments that completely change how the govt works to the point where it’s questionable if it is really the same govt. And the sadly more realistic outcome might be that reform either won’t happen or will only come after much suffering and conflict
