caucasity

I learned a new word today.

Though I am mystified that the author wrote an entire article describing Rittenhouse's caucasity without using the term white supremacist once. You don't get caucasity without white supremacism.

why does he look like the body horror renditions of cartoon characters that artists would do sometimes, for comedic effect.

This dude looks like fucking spongebob.

I'd love to leave and not be stuck in a country with assholes like him but I can't afford it. It's like $2,500 just to renounce your citizenship.

Unfortunately there's these kinds of assholes in every country.

I'd love to not live in a country with him, but if I leave, I know the country gets a little bit worse for those who can't leave. This is why I advocate for staying in awful states if you can do so safely. If you leave, then the state gets even worse for the people who want to but can't.

Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?

Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is "Just leave" or "Just stop using it"...etc

It's a form of dismissiveness, but I'm sure there's a name for it.

stop using it

Are the MAGA crowd actively cancelling products now?

Yeah they don’t actually have morals, they just react to current trends and will revert back when it becomes inconvenient.

Me personally haven’t used FaceBook in a decade. Don’t use WhatsApp. Not shipped on Amazon for a couple of years now. Recently boycotted McD, etc.

All of these things inconvenience my life to some extent but that’s the price of having morals. This fuckers are just going with the crowd.

He's 21 years old & also he's gotten a lot of fame. We can't expect lots of great wisdom from him.

We all saw your trail of tears on the stand, kyle.

Isn't this the kid that fired into a crowd? Why are we listening to anything he says again?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Because he's a darling of the right, and really riles up the left whenever he is mentioned. It's rage clicks either way, and people are easily played.
