  • ya, fair, i will absolutely take the Irish more seriously on that complaint than most other Europeans, at least to a point

  • i mean as a non kkkracker i strongly prefer that over them embracing the american construct of whiteness. part of abandoning that construct means that whitemericans need something to engage with besides post ironic self loathing or whatever and if the only real harm to come from them exploring ancestral roots is some upset euros, i'm pretty ok with that too.

  • straight white gays, the ones that think pride is too “flamboyant” and refer to the guy they live with in a single bedroom condo as their “roommate” and let straights say slurs around them to prove they’re one of the good ones.

  • true, true. smallest -marginalized- minority they claim to represent would be most accurate i guess

  • i think it's mainly because we're the smallest minority they represent and they're absolutely not going to campaign on a pro-labor working class agenda. throwing us under the bus won't win them shit but it's easy and the consultant class will get another round of checks from it.

  • ya, as i recall the main democrat message was "we'll follow the law". not exactly championing anything there.

  • i guess that depends on whether or not rfkjr gets his labor camps (plus all prison slavery)

  • yeah, the question gets remarkably different answers depending on how it's asked (naturally) as do trans questions and others. it's really reductive and misleading to just blanket buy that 80% of the country is in absolute lockstep on trump policies and it will lead to strategic errors in organizing for those who are actively involved in it if they don't take advantage of what will clearly be growing unrest because they've resigned themselves to inaction against some nonexistent mandate

    in short, communists should not be taking cues from hakeem jefferies

  • i live in the northeast and i don't know of anyone that would consider those to be real curse words but i know if you go to like arkansas or (especially) utah that opinion could change drastically

  • i never really noticed or cared but now i had to look it up

    PG is the lowest rating that allows profanity (usually mild); G formerly allowed very mild terms like "damn" and "hell." Use of words such as "sht," "btch," "bastard," and "ass" are allowed but they will not be persistent or aggressive. Examples of recent PG films that contain moderate profanity include The Long Game, You Gotta Believe and Piece by Piece. Strong, sexual words like "fk," "ct," and "c**ksucker" are not allowed.

    Racial slurs like the N-word are allowed to be used, but only in an educational or historical context (e.g. Disney's Glory Road). Any other use will get at least a PG-13.

    One unique case of profanity is The Transformers: The Movie, when Spike says, "Oh sh*t! What are we going to do now?" (but the particular word is permissible at PG). A few PG rated films up until the '80s included usage of "f**k," most notably Spaceballs, All the President's Men, and Sixteen Candles, which came out in 1984.

  • yeah, really looking forward to basic weather forecasting being gated behind an accuweather subscription

  • i honestly think it's just his contrarian impulse. it leads to like one good thing out of every ten thousand so in between accelerating trans genocide and building resort hotels in Gaza he'll also talk about developing relations with North Korea.
