yes, youre a white boy in Taiwan. go back home.

 

Even I’m staying out of this one.

 

see, the reason why you can say "supremacy" in "white supremacy" is because, whiteness as an identity was created via the racialization, as a form of subjugation for exploitation, of other people deemed not white to maintain that system of racist oppression necessary to capitalism. this is not comparable to ethnic chauvinism by Han Chinese or like... Javanese-Indonesian, etc. who have a different ethnogenesis.

to map this onto ethnic-chauvinism in Asia, Africa, or wherever is orientalist projection, something one should be able to understand living in the US, Taiwan, or wherever.

 

no, share your thoughts on CIWWAF

 

Trash music, trashier frontman.

 

i personally think ciwwaf is not that different from any of the other FBR bands that i enjoyed, except for the obvious exceptions.

 

What’s the gist?

 

The pod came out earlier this year and details are foggy. It sounds like he was just entitled and unprofessional. The one example that is coming to me is that he flipped out over the tour laminate for the tour. Apparently it was just the cover art for 37 Everywhere. Shaant flipped shit over the fact that his band’s name wasn’t on it. It was one of his first tours and was just a nightmare it sounds like. I kind of want to go back and listen to that part again.

 

Seems a bit like missinf the forest for the trees going on here though. Whatever you call their particular brand of of it, it’s happening and it’s not good?

 

yes, but lets properly understand the quality of said not good thing. especially in the context of a current global strugge which includes ''the west'', the conception of which white supremacy was pivotal in.

 

The embedded tweet hides it but the Hollywood Reporter article is from 5 years ago

 

It’s such a gorgeous site

If you told me this was a Trump quote I would 100% believe you

 

Haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but FiveThirtyEight had three Georgia law professors on to discuss the case. I feel like they'd have a better read on the case than most.

 

Holy Hell, Trump Did Use Twitter Direct Messages, There Were ‘Many’ of Them, and the Special Counsel Now Has Them

While it remained unclear what sorts of information the messages contained and who exactly may have written them, it was a revelation that there were private messages associated with the Twitter account of Mr. Trump, who has famously been cautious about using written forms of communications in his dealings with aides and allies.

The papers included transcripts of hearings in Federal District Court in Washington in February during which Judge Beryl A. Howell asserted that Mr. Smith’s office had sought Mr. Trump’s direct messages — or DMs — from Twitter as part of a search warrant it executed on the account in January.

In one of the transcripts, a lawyer for Twitter, answering questions from Judge Howell, confirmed that the company had turned over to the special counsel’s office “all direct messages, the DMs” from Mr. Trump’s Twitter account, including those sent, received and “stored in draft form.”

The lawyer for Twitter told Judge Howell that the company had found both “deleted” and “nondeleted” direct messages associated with Mr. Trump’s account.

lol dumbass
