Interesting Videos to Watch

I don't think its a feeling of being threatened. I think its a want to deal in facts and not psuedo science.

If we tackled inequality factually we wouldn't still be talking about it. And yes, you may not be an emotional guy, but too many anti-snowflake, "fuck your feelings", white people are. You got to call the whambulance before you ask them about racism because you know they're fixing to start blubbering about feeling attacked, reverse racism, they grew up poor with no shoes and on and on and on. You want to tell them to chillax because no one is calling him/her personally racist, we're just talking on a macro level here, but they can't hear you through all the tears and sniffles.

I think the first mistake in the entire discussion is that the focus is on one country rather than the entirety of the world population. It's kind of like opening a sock drawer, pointing to the area of the drawer where the white socks have been organized, ignoring that the rest of the sock drawer has been organized and that there are actually fewer white socks in the drawer than there are of other colored socks. For some reason it's only necessary for us to place other colored socks in the area of the drawer that is being occupied by the white socks even though there are more of the other colored socks that have their own area of the drawer. Nobody is saying, hey black socks you are racist for having too large of an area of the drawer and now you must allow more brown socks into your area, no, it's only the white socks that need to have their area of the drawer displaced.

It's not that the white socks feel threatened, it's that the white socks look at the areas occupied by the other colored socks and say "oh, hell no" we like what we have done with our culture not our fault some of the other colored socks continue to live in foot cheese.

Well two things here. One; we're not talking about the World. We're Americans talking about USA. Once we get our shit sorted we can export our model globally. Two; lots of your brown sock areas are fucked up because the white socks came in and trashed their drawer. The white socks got a hell of a lot of benefit and advantage from trashing those drawers and they need to recognize.

Why are we even focusing on the US then, we are one of the most diverse countries in the world. Are you saying that the white socks are the only socks to have conquered other socks? Hell the white socks have conquered other socks, modernized their area of the sock drawer, given it back to the other colored socks only to have those other colored socks shit on the modernization. I'm having a hard time of thinking of any other colored sock that has even done such a thing. For some odd reason the white socks are punished for having the most advanced cultures and they must be devolved for some reason. These areas of the sock drawer were shit holes long before the white socks came along.

I thought manifest destiny was a bad thing?

What you're showing is the sensitivity and defensiveness that Drauz denied earlier. We're talking about the USA because it's our country.

And your solution to "fixing the US" is "If we can just get rid of the white people everything will be alright". Where is the historical evidence that white people = social decay, when the evidence suggests it's just the opposite?

Really it sounds like we have a bunch of different races that are jealous of Anglo-Saxon technology, don't have the ability to reach those levels of technology on their own and either want to destroy the technology or steal it.

I bolded this section because this is the most basic and fundamentally racist idea there is. The idea that other races cannot reach technology, innovation, enlightenment, equality whatever on their own is pure garbage. What is the truth is that without outside pressure (positive influence, positive examples or being conquered, subjugated or something else like a substantial level of assistance) a culture/group cannot make advances without first paying the price as a society to move ahead. For example, for a society to move beyond slavery, you must have a population that is willing to fight and die to end slavery. To have technological development, you must have a population that is willing to learn and work and make the changes needed to support that technological advancement. Every advancement in the Western world, everything that makes the US the most advanced, wealthy and despite rumors, powerful nation in the world was paid for in labor, sacrifice and blood over 241 years of strife, labor, suffering and sacrifice.

Until nations and peoples are willing to put in the time, the labor, the capitol and the blood to claw their way up, they cannot have or maintain our level of development.

In fact, we as a nation have spent centuries inculcating a sense of pride, moral purpose, self sacrifice, discipline and work ethic in our people. An overall sense of American exceptionalism so to speak. And yet, in the short span of the last 50-60 years or so, we have stopped due to several factors and in the past 30 we have really let this kind of thing collapse in our education of our children. And because of that, we may not be able to maintain our development and technological advancement.

And like I said, these folks don't seem to have the ability to do that and I would suggest this "And your solution to "fixing the US" is "If we can just get rid of the white people everything will be alright" is the most fundamentally racist idea there is.

The alt-left is suggesting using the final solution to "fix" the US.

That's an interesting video. The smug white guy interrupts too much though.

I got a few minutes in and turned it off but I noticed that one counterpoints is that its nepotism is natural and once we're all "brown sugar" racism will have run its course.

I don't think brown America is willing to take the wait and see approach.

We'll find another way to be racist after we invent brown sugar, just like we did after we invented white people a hundred years ago. As long as there are humans there will be an us and a them.

Someday though, we won't be humans anymore. So we've got that going for us.

Well the good news is that this seems to be a self correcting problem. It's good to be a Water Bear. LOL

...And they may survive the environmental crisis. But as you go up the scale of what we call intelligence, they are less and less successful. By the time you get to mammals, there are very few of them as compared with, say, insects. By the time you get to humans, the origin of humans may be 100,000 years ago, there is a very small group. We are kind of misled now because there are a lot of humans around, but that’s a matter of a few thousand years, which is meaningless from an evolutionary point of view. His argument was, you’re just not going to find intelligent life elsewhere, and you probably won’t find it here for very long either because it’s just a lethal mutation. He also added, a little bit ominously, that the average life span of a species, of the billions that have existed, is about 100,000 years, which is roughly the length of time that modern humans have existed.
