I think if one thinks Orc = Savage and therefore = Black Person (or whatevs), there is something wrong with the reader, not the writer.

Not that I think Gwamps will bother watching this, but I think it's a pretty informative video. :up:

I watched the video. Apparently all white people are racist and there's nothing they can do to change that due to their social conditioning. White people are so far gone that it's not even possible for them to genuinely like black people... Now what? I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you don't know. Just like BLM, all this video does is establish blame. Blame that is of course largely justified... How do we move forward? How do we negotiate a resolution with a group who doesn't have a discernible end goal? Who do we even negotiate with? I think we ALL agree there's a problem. Most of us want to work toward a solution. What we don't want are hasty, emotionally driven decisions that don't address the core issue.

speaking of gender issues, it's interesting that trans activists sound exactly like virgin neckbeard white knights when trying to define what a woman is :|

This is an interesting point of view from an ex-cop, and may give some insight in to how the whole US police system is broken:

^ good piece, and his recommendations sound solid to me, though the sprinkling of bureaucratic "anti-racism" jargon gave the impression some coaching went on in writing this

It's an anonymous Medium post, I'm not sure how much stock I put in the authenticity of it all. It checks off every box of shitty things cops do, and reads like a love letter to liberals. That being said, I don't disagree with the conclusions. Something needs to change on a fundamental level.

speaking of cops:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/blueleaks ... ed-online/
An activist group has published on Friday 296 GB of data they claim have been stolen from US law enforcement agencies and fusion centers.

The files, dubbed BlueLeaks, have been published by Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), a group that describes itself as a "transparency collective."

The data has been made available online on a searchable portal. According to the BlueLeaks portal, the leaked data contains more than one million files, such as scanned documents, videos, emails, audio files, and more.

Some of the files also supposedly contain sensitive and personal information, such as names, bank account numbers, and phone numbers.
I'm all for transparency, but this shit is annoying.

Just watched this video and it's wholly wrongly interpreted here.
This woman isn't cyring over a delayed McDonalds meal. She's crying because she's mentally drained.
I bet she's having a rough period in her life. Getting shit at work, either from people she encounters as a cop or even from fellow cops. Who knows, she might be one of the "good" cops who stops colleagues mistreating (black) people and maybe she's getting shit about that. We don't know. All I know is, no one in their right mind is crying their eyes out over a delayed muffin. This isn't a plea against McDonalds, this is a plea against her work, or maybe people in general. The delayed muffin was just the last straw that broke her back.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do feel people who are in such a mentally weak state of mind that they break out in tears like this shouldn't be working as a police officer and certainly shouldn't be carrying a gun, but I'm inclined to think she's a symptom of a broken system and not some arrogant self-entitled bitch who can't wait 2 minutes for a coffee and muffin.

The two presenters of this "show" come across as extremely nasty people to me.

You're doing an awful lot of mental gymnastics to defend someone who's acting like a bratty, entitled McMoron. In all likelihood this is how she normally behaves if she doesn't get her high-sodium, processed garbage delivered to her mouth in less than 2 minutes. Good idea to give her a gun and cruiser :up:

You think I get mad about what you think? lol get over yourself, obviously deluded. You can choose to believe or not believe anything I say, I'm ok with that because your opinion means nothing to me.

You're so triggered you have to invent reasons for me to be upset. All I have to do is drive by you as you're crossing the street and your reaction will make national news.

I've seen someone burst into tears because they recieved a coffee that was wrong and I was thinking the same thing. Turns out there was a lot of shit going on that nobody knew about, just like Jerry said about McMuffin above.
