Same in Ireland. Over ten years of underfunding services and lack of affordable housing and then over time many refugees are coming in, which competes with the already strained infrastructure. Then in the recent local election, the far-right have gained more influence than before. And yet the media narrative has always been about these working class riff raffs giving the Irish bad name; or Russia amplifying discontent in social media. No one mentions that the working class and homeless have been made to compete with immigrants and refugees, through no fault of their own, are coming from regions wrecked by war, corruption and climate change. This has been a boon for the elites-- having more people create demand for artificially-made scare resources to increase the material value. Hotels are paid enormously by the government for taking in refugees and the owners are all too happy to do so.

You're reading too much into it. Colour ink was still expensive back then up until the late '80s to '00s. Which is why coloured photos were uncommon before, especially in the 1960s.

And before anyone suggests it, professional historians strongly discourage colouring black and white photos. This could give false impression of what the actual colour of some objects, or the subject itself in the photo.

I just Googled by the way of your claim, it turns out that the narrative is indeed hamfisted: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/20/fact-check-most-civil-rights-era-images-werent-made-color/3210472001/

Our ruling: Partly false

We rate this claim as partly false because it excludes context essential to understanding the difference in use between black-and-white and color photographs taken during that time period.

Although there is documented evidence of photo suppression during the civil rights movement, experts said the use of black-and-white over color photography was not part of it.

The post is misinformed and overlooks the fact that color photography was rare in the 1960’s due to its higher price, photojournalists’ need for quick turn-around, the sentiment of black-and-white photography being the “true” way of documentation and the challenges surrounding accurately depicting people of color with color film.

There have been couple of non-Western countries with politicians who are not part of local majority group. There is a white Australian who is like a governor or mayor in Papua New Guinea. Peru infamously had a dictator of Japanese-ancestry. So you get these kinds of things. If a white person wants to become an MP in India, go for it.

It is part of propaganda to demonise the officially atheist USSR from the God (never mind which god we're referring to)- loving Americans. 1

The Brits are still salty over those teas thrown over at Boston Harbour.

Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.

Yup. Hillary is too corrupt. Had Biden ran instead, he would have won back then when he wasn't senile.

Doesn't matter if you have zero charisma and really bad PR. Obama and FDR were popular because they have both.

The Supreme Court must be impartial regardless of legislative and executive political mudslinging of the time. That's the whole point of different branches of government.

If SCOTUS made the decision after seeing Trump and Biden debate, or knowing Republicans will control both houses, then they aren't doing their job as they should. There's a reason why juries are encouraged not to watch TV or media that would cloud their decision, and the same should apply to judges.

People forget the bloody whole point of checks and balance!

I had a coworker who seems to look up to him. He got offended when I told him I don't trust Musk; and took it to mean I don't like Musk. I clarified that when I said I don't trust him, I meant that I am skeptical and don't care much about him. Mind you, this was before the Twitter takeover and Musk finally showing his true colours, and his only bizarre scandal about him at that point was calling professional divers who rescued trapped Thai kids and refused Elon's offer of help, "pedos".

I left my old company and I wonder what my former coworker thinks of Elon now. My coworker seems to be well-intentioned but I sense deep insecurity from him-- the kind of types who typically idolise Musk.

On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I'm a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn't take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.

We getting old, fam!

Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.

No offense, but it's cos of Americans.
