reasons to quarreldrgs - old people love it (but are unaware), they get an energy kick from it. The normal thing to do is to play along and help them let the demons outdrgs

Cut like a knife!
"Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the @royalalberthall, but thanks to some fucking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold,"

- You left out the punch-line of his post, he ended it with “go vegan”Gnash
- who is Bryan Adams? All i know is he is vegan.capn_ron
- What?? Who is Brian Adams? Do you ever come out of your igloo?Gnash
- Some people obvoisly weren't around in 1991 when he was at number one for half the year with that bloody song.
Seems a fair point on this though.webazoot - He is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, sir. Good day!Gnash
- Oh. So this was a greedy move by the top level Chinese agents in a wet market. Gotcha you nobody.monospaced
- How’s that working out China? Moneys piling up now!monospaced
- He’s talking about the greed that drives people to treat animals like that. He barks the same way at the animal industry in the westGnash
- Just because you haven’t heard of him doesn’t make him nobody - do all American think like that?Gnash
- He is also a very well accomplished photographer http://bryanadamspho…grafician
- Did he criticize China and wet markets? If so what did he do wrong exactly?NBQ00

- im fine with you calling it pango virus.
+1pango - It's a pointless debate because everyone is already calling it coronavirus or COVID-19.yuekit
- You're not going to convince the media to suddenly start referring to it as the "Wuhan I hate China foreverandever virus" or whatever the latest proposal is :)yuekit
- in south america they call it chinese virus "virus chino". But political correctness seems to be a first world problemhotroddy
- Then go cry about it hotroddy. Seriously who cares?yuekit
- cry about whathotroddy

- Ppl need to stop being so offended about everything.NBQ00
- Spanish flu started in the US, that's whyscruffics
- anyone but Bill Meyer would get fired for saying this.hotroddy
- Just call it the CCP Virus and be done with it. Not racist. Very accurate. We are in this mess because the CCP covered up and fucked it up.shapesalad
- Let’s not forget Dr Li Wenliang arrested by the CCP for raising the alarm about the CCP virus. The vaccine should be named in his honor.shapesalad
- I'm fine with that. Fuck CCPpango
- Still trying to work out if he was being ironic regarding Spanish flu? If not it's a useless rant if he doesn't even grasp basic history taught in school.fadein11
- You have one example out of many that is off, fade... that's not a lack of a grasp of history. An error? yes... However, His point is still solid.PonyBoy
- Possibly yep. The virus may be the least of our problems soon.fadein11
- What's next, fade? (not calling you out either...I genuinely disagree that one example cancels out his point—however I'm curious as to what u think is next)PonyBoy
- I am worried a major war is on the horizon. Some would say it's been planned for a long time. Agree his point is not invalidated, my bad, just loses somefadein11
- credibility. Amazed people are still arguing over the name of the virus over there. I guess Trump is partially to blame due to his general rhetoric.fadein11
- fadein doesn't get it. China's ideals are the antithesis of western democracy. They are the enemy and should be treated like an enemy.hotroddy
- Nonsense...many of the USA's biggest allies in the world are not Western democracies. For that matter, questionable whether the USA itself even respectsyuekit
- democracy. Iraq's parliament voted a couple months ago to kick us out, guess what we are still there.yuekit
- yeah Iraq wants to expel US troops to implement an islamic state. basically using democracy to turn into an autocracyhotroddy
- the only other 'big' ally that isn't democratic is Saudia Arabia and that's because they know a democracy would never work therehotroddy
- China on the other hand exports Authoritarianism. Hong Kong, Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea and Venezuela are all case studieshotroddy
- Not at all true about Iraq. It was a clean vote to tell US troops to leave. You're just making stuff up.yuekit
- The only other ally that isn't democratic is Saudi Arabia...uh huh.
https://i.imgur.com/…yuekit - The US established a democratic gov't in Iraq. In a region people say isn't possible. Can't you give them credit for that?hotroddy
- oh the irony of Vietnam being on the list.hotroddy
- China and Russia are disruptive authoritarian forces in the world. It's a world view the west doesn't embrace whenever possible.hotroddy
- America's ideals fall in line with western democracy and will align itself to pluralism whenever possible.hotroddy
- China and Russia on the other hand couldn't give a shit about western principleshotroddy
- I'm supposed to give the US credit for an invasion that killed hundreds of thousands of people and that almost everyone now admits was a mistake?yuekit
- yes, they believe in democracy to a fault.hotroddy
- Same with Vietnam. Terrible war, millions dead for nothing. The communists beat us and stayed in charge, no one views them as a threat these days.yuekit
- but no one mentions when it goes right (ie. panama, japan, south korea, germany),hotroddy
- You honestly believe the USA went to war in Iraq for democracy? lol.yuekit
- Do you think Trump believes in liberal democracy? He doesn't even give lip service to it.yuekit
- Yes, Bush was stupid enough to think a western gov't would have a domino effect in the middle east. and he thought the oil would pay for the it.hotroddy
- I think history shows the opposite. The USA does not care about democracy, they care about control.yuekit
- Having the military base in Iraq is clearly more important than having democracy as that recent vote proves.yuekit
- Getting back to the point though...if we can coexist peacefully with communist Vietnam, a government we were at war with just a few decades ago, why does Chinayuekit
- have to be our enemy?yuekit
- Because china is a bigger influence in the world with a lot of $$$ threat to be a threat to democracies. Ask venezuelans, ask the Hong Kongese.hotroddy
- they don't value western liberties.. on the contrary they frown upon ithotroddy
- and ur right. Trump doesn't give a shit about democracy but we have strong institutions to keep him in check.hotroddy
- but these institutions are fragile and china doesn't give a rats ass about checks and balanceshotroddy
- China isn't running around the world trying to overthrow democracies. The fact that you're using Hong Kong as an example sort of proves the point...yuekit
- This isn't some foreign country China invaded. It's part of China that was handed back to them by a Western democracy, the UK, that had previously colonized it.yuekit
- Also, I do think things in China will change. The current generation isn't going to be in power forever.yuekit
- Hong Kong is an example what china is doing to it's own people. Venezuela is an example how they fund dictatorships and promote anti US rhetorichotroddy
- criticizing US foreign policy is fine but defending the CCP is too much for mehotroddy
- It's not going to change. it's going to get WORSE! Democracies will be a thing of the past very soon and china will have a big roll in it.hotroddy
- democracies are fragile. authoritarian political systems have always been standard throughout history.hotroddy
- The only threat to democracies I see is populist authoritarianism. I see zero chance of China influencing Western democratic systems or even caring about that.yuekit
- populist militant authoritarianism like china? Like MAO?hotroddy
- China is already influencing western democracies like Venezuela.hotroddy
- No I mean the current trend of electing shitty authoritarian leaders. USA and Europe did that all on their own, China had nothing to do with it.yuekit
- As long as USA democratic institutions stay strong it will continue to police the world even if it's out of self interesthotroddy
- just for the record as not sure if it was aimed at me hotroddy, at no point have I defended the CCP. Oh and what didn't I get, you may want to re-read myfadein11

On Facebook some page I'm following created a post that had the words "spirit animal" in it, and it was amusing how many people chimed in to point out only certain people can even use the phrase "spirit animal." Apparently it's offensive to some people of indigenous american descent, and they've declared the term theirs and theirs only. They even offered up "patronus" as an alternative. Really.
- Never thought I'd grow up to be a "reactionary" - being the radical lefty I've always been. But these kids with their "wokeness" have left me so far behind.Khurram
- I had a girl tell me she felt guilty getting a pinata for her niece's bday because it's "cultural appropriation" - are you mad???Khurram
- I couldn't be more proud that chicken tikka massala is the national dish of England. We're part of the FABRIC of this country.Khurram
- But some pathetic losers are determined to paint themselves as perpetual victims. The "others" that are having bad things done TO them for all history.Khurram
- Such a loser mindset.Khurram
- It's like that chick that told me that you can't be racist against white people because they're inherently part of the de facto power structure bla blaKhurram
- I'm like what about Jews??? They're white! "Oh well, you can't be anti-semetic against black people" - what??!?!?! You're just playing language games now. idiotKhurram
- Eternal victimhood, they make me sick. No wonder intellectually feeble "thinkers" such as Jordan Peterson have an audience of baying closet racists.Khurram
- I used to rail against people who had a problem with "PC culture". And now i have a problem with it. Who knew?Khurram
- And now this obsessions with having "diverse" cast on every period costume drama. You expect me to believe that there were that many black people...Khurram

- to be seen to be nice to the blacks. That's just whitewashing history! Why? Because in 2020 we need to see more colored people on TV. Just fucking lies.Khurram
- Or maybe they have a point. I don't even know. I wonder how this cultural moment will play itself out. We're going to completely re-write British historyKhurram

- do non-asians using chopsticks in asian restaurants seem odd? are they the next target of cultural appropriation rage?lol_niko
- @pango - they use the term geisha. But much of that dress is just kabuki theatre, which David Bowie famously "appropriated" for his Aladdin Sane period.Khurram

- I think it's a lot of bullshit, but then again my grandparents said the same things about the N word.Projectile
- 10 years ago I laughed at people finger wagging about headdresses, now I totally get it. If many native Americans say not to use, then ffs we should stop.Projectile

- Saying someone can't say it because they aren't native and therefore can't HAVE spirit animals is ridiculous to me. I can have a fucking spirit animal if I wantmonospaced
- and it doesn't change your religion.monospaced
- because let's face it ... like ALL religious mumbo jump from any religion, it's all fucking bullshit too. I'll make fun of all silly religous ideas equallymonospaced

Oh boy, this is too funny.Jameela Jamil announces she is ‘queer’ after backlash over TV role

- They eat their own. Like hyenasGnash

- He walked it back after a couple of hours of woke rage came hurtling at him. Goodness you’re an idiotGnash
- An idiot for sharing a link. lol. I agree with everything he said. including the follow ups which have little to do with his original point. but yeah I'm anfadein11

- Had both last night. Nice burn, thoughGnash
- Stop misreading me. I'm not always looking for an argument, in fact I actively avoid it nowadays. Was just sharing the rest of the tweets.fadein11
- why did you call him an idiot if not for the link to context?monospaced
- Because, frankly, that's all he did. And you've been calling him names as if he voiced some strong opinion on the matter.monospaced

- Still not sure why you called him an idiot except that you imagined him saying something stupid and reacted to said imagination.monospaced
- he thought I was an idiot because I shared all the tweets rather half of one, when I should've been reading the comments on said tweet but no link was provided.fadein11
- So I obliged. Not that I would waste my time reading yet another N.American Twitter storm over some innocent and correct tweet shared out of context.fadein11

- He backpeddled expertlyGnash
- Although, try as he might, it doesn’t change the posit of his pre- ‘but-let-me-‘splain’ tweetsGnash
- And of course there’s nothing offensive about it. That’s the pointGnash
- Not sure it was backpeddling per se, more a clarification of where he sits politically. More likely scared of becoming an accidental poster boy of the rightfadein11
- like Gervais did last week. But what do I know? I'm an idiot :)fadein11
- and still, providing the context isn't an idiotic thing to domonospaced
- this seems pretty mehh to me. you sharing because?pango
- Kings whole post is a big backpedal, he starts off pandering, then makes his point as gnash posted above, then he totally tries to cover his ass_niko
- David Icke just posted about it on Facebook ha, really. He's always right.fadein11
- Stand for something or don’t. Just don’t try to stand for everything to appease no one._niko
- @niko yet all his tweets can co-exist with zero conflict?fadein11
- Of course it’s ‘meh’ pango. But not to the over 10k (so far) woke unicorns that have so replied with anguish to kings tweetGnash
- lol at following Icke. on facebook, no less. perfect.Gnash

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/…Charles Murray, author of the famous book The Bell Curve, which explains variations in IQ in America, held a lecture at Middlebury College. His lecture was thwarted, the students screamed while Murray tried to talk. Local professor Allison Stanger tried to debate him -- with no success. When she tried to take Murray out of the campus, they were both attacked and beaten up. The professor was concussed, broke her neck etc.
American professors are now massively complaining about the students. The students require censorship, safe spaces and trigger warnings, while the professors demand freedom of speech.
In the 60s it used to be the students who demanded freedom of speech, and university authorities fought against it and beat up the students. Now the students try to silence those who speak against the official ideology.The new generation of Americans will be exactly this; putting burqa on their women, gag the professors and demand massive executions for unorthodoxy.

well it finally happened, after almost 40 years of ranting and raving Don Cherry has finally gotten the ax.

Should have called everyone out._niko - To be fair to DC, unless you watch the entire segment, what he says in the clip is out of context. I bet nobody bitching on Twitter actually watched it.spot13

Race Wars 2020. Seriously, let's settle it once and for all.
Either all races live separately, or there can be only one race altogether
It's not workinghttps://dailycaller.com/2017/10/…
A University of Illinois math professor believes that algebra and geometry perpetuate “white privilege” because Greek terms give Caucasians unearned credit for the subject.But that isn’t the professor’s only complaint. She also believes that evaluations for math proficiency perpetuates discrimination against minority students, if they do worse than their white counterparts.
“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness,” she argues with complete sincerity, according to Campus Reform. “Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White.”

The Seattle Public Schools Ethnic Studies Advisory Committee (ESAC) released a rough draft of notes for its Math Ethnic Studies framework in late September, which attempts to connects math to a history of oppression.- wait till they find out that algebra is arabic.uan
- Sorry, but it looks like Seattle P.S. is being run by stupid people. I'm black and struggled at math as a kid, but then I went to a better school...jmckinno
- where I still struggled at math. Then my parents got me a tutor and I got better. But I don't blame white people fro my math problems.jmckinno
- ffs even mathematics... where does it end?renderedred
- what a fucking idiot. on a global scale, mathematics is dominated by everyone other than whites._niko
- So her solution in the US is instead of increasing teaching and resources to struggling non-whites, it's to give them a free pass by lowering expectations?_niko
- dailyfuckingcaller...Salarrue
- This seems extremely racist and counter-productive. This will not help american non-whites compete on a global scale but insted keep them in poverty perpetually_niko
- When my parents came to canada in the 50s, Greeks were not considered “Caucasian’s”Gnash

- Also.. i sucked at math when i was in school. my mother-in-law is a goddamn genius when it comes to math.exador1
- The daily caller likes to amplify this shit as if its an actual thing. The diversity-dean burocrati just talk to each otherGnash
- Yeah this is just outrage porn. Even the Seattle curriculum thing looks like it's more of an attempt to teach math by looking at examples from black history.yuekit
