    What do you mean I don’t get special privileges just because I’m a white male? This is a hate crime.

    “You want to take away my supremacy over ANOTHER marginalised group, which means I’m going to be one step closer to the bottom of the hierarchy I have created in my own head!? Clearly this must be the ‘fascism’ I keep hearing about.”

    Hunting people for sport is part of white cultural heritage. Taking that away is the real genocide

      That’s not ironic. That’s status quo exactly as expected.

      Also not true in certain areas like in South Africa in the wrong neighborhoods. Though uhh, they kinda’ have good reason not to trust whitey down there.

        Might wanna re-read what you’re replying to. There’s a reason they dropped the “white” part when they made their comment.

      Seconded. That show is a unique gem.

      A little info - it was made in the early days of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim segment. The network had acquired the rights to use characters from Hanna-Barbera (in this example, the characters are from “Sealab 2020,” a show from the 70s) and creatives were basically given a free-for-all pass to do whatever they wanted. And they ran with it. The humor is absurd and it’s glorious.

      Another fun fact - Sealab 2021 shares a universe with the show Archer. They were both created/produced by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson, with an episode of Archer (“Sea-Tunt”) providing a crossover between the two.

      The acquisition of Hanna-Barbera characters also gave Adult Swim the shows Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast (a parody of late night talk shows) and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (which sees various iconic Hanna-Barbera characters, like Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear or the Scooby-Doo gang, facing legal issues.) I haven’t rewatched Space Ghost since its airing, but I have rewatched Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and I’d definitely recommend putting that on your download list as well.

    Surprisingly enough when I was gathering signatures for a ban of conversion therapy a lot of people in my circle signed it. I was only disappointed by my mother and 2 then acquaintances/kind of friends.

      Yea, this hate for white men alone is weird. I’ve heard nastier shit from women in my many years.

      It’s almost like anyone can be a hateful piece of shit, and drawing these hard lines does nothing but help keep people separate.

        This is ABSOLUTELY correct but only half the equation. Assholes come from everywhere, but white male assholes from the colonial era engineered a system that pegs your ability to ACT on that horridness to your proximity to their racial and gender group. And the assholes in successive generations of said white men have made it their lives’ work to maintain those lines and stay powerful.

        Everyone has the capacity to be horrible, it’s just that this specific group set up extensive infrastructure for it.

          Ehhhhhh you’d be surprised to learn that white supremacy hasn’t been the only ‘supremacy’ to hit main stream throughout history…

            No, I would not. You can go to India and see them profile people based on their surname and neighborhood of birth, right now. Brahmans bitch about reverse casteism the same way Republicans bitch about reverse racism. In China, Han supremacy has them doing a genocide, right now. You could turn back the clock and look at old timey racism, which is a fundamentally different beast from modern racism as it cared about cultural mores and birthplace, skin color being tertiary. As the Romans famously put it, “you’re either a Roman or you’re a barbarian.”

            All of this misses the point I had made. White supremacy is an international political and cultural system that enables and encourages assholes. That’s not always how it’s been, it’s not the only system in the world, but right here right now, it sets them and anyone who abides the system that empowers them apart for scrutiny.

        I’d assume that women are more worried about being gang raped than about being hunted for sport. Big talking point for far righters, at least here in Europe (nevermind that actually, most rapes happen between people with personal connections).

          Do what I do, and never leave your house unless you have to.

          This is why I will be one of the last humans alive. I can sit and survive almost forever, in almost any conditions.

          I don’t want smoke, don’t care about being better than anyone, don’t care about dating, or any of that life stuff people want.

          I see everything I get from humans as only a bonus, and I try to avoid buying anything from humans if it can be helped. Meaning, if I grow food, or have stored food, I prefer to eat that first. If my device works, I will keep it on life support until it is a brick. If I do have to buy something new, I buy the highest quality possible. I kill debt as soon as I can, prioritizing it over food, luxuries, even healthcare and hygiene rn.

    And then they fill the comment sections about how they are the real victims because they knew a guy who was falsely accused and it mildly inconvenienced his life but i still suspect their homie was probably guilty

      False accusations definitely can ruin lives, but mostly not those of white guys. African-American men and boys however, they got lynched because some racist white girls made false rape accusations.
