Wait… What? Americans aren’t aware of how the country was founded? Or slavery’s part in it’s past?

Like Greeks and Italians don’t deny theirs? How about Spain, France, Portugal? Mayans, Incans, Aztec? French Canadians?

Let’s talk about the Han Chinese, Taiwan. Japan and Korea…

Man no one is sorry and they all downplay their past. Cut the shit

I still love your user name. I too am a huge fan.

I do extended stay travel internationally for work. I am frequently in other countries and there is no shortage of their racism and discrimination.

Asshole aneurysm… Their is either a heavy metal band name or the way gay men are describing hands free orgasms.

Either way seems like a good time

I didn’t come to discuss OP’s topic. I came because of OP’s name.

I enjoy the claim and the sentiment.

It is crazy how words change meaning. Surprising that low level mafia muscle was a Goon and now it somehow relates to the euphoria one experiences eating Fast Food Chinese crab rangoons.

While I love going at a china buffet as much as the next fella - I don’t understand how it became associated with mob henchmen.

You miss the point.

It will not bring the relief you desire.

I do not understand why people give him so much attention… You will say you are “celebrating his death” but you are still giving him all the attention he wants.

Fully agree, off topic tho

I appreciate you. One of the few people showing they are thinking in this thread.

The rest haven’t given it much thought.

I would like the taking multiple wives against their will please.

The child brides I have not been convinced of yet. But I am sure I will come around. I mean - I changed my feelings about the goats and sheep after all.

If you don’t like the religious right wait until you get a load of the post religious conservatives. Ross Douthat said this years ago and has written about it fairly extensively.

We get kicked out of everywhere else.

But if you really want crazy - take a peek down the Mormon influencer rabbit hole.

Because I am so bad?

On a scale of Taylor Swift to Yolondi where do you and I fall?

Rabbit holes are wild and the twists and turns are never expected.

No intent to offend, simply reporting how others look to manipulate online communities for their own purposes.

So the Internet has a strong divide between male and female users. In what sites they use and where they aggregate. Women-coded websites like geocities, imgur, and tumblr were some of the first to be acquired to be monetized. Because the Mormon church had shown how effectively women could be leveraged for ad revenue and marketing. When those places became compromised women moved into the male coded places and it changed the demographics. Making those places the next targets for purchase and control.

Also - women coded does not just mean social media. Yes FB, Insta, Tiktok ect are feminine focused but that is for the bulk of the population. Not strong internet users.

There are some female vestiges remaining. But they’re newer and mostly monetized to generating smut.

If you believe that I would like to invite you to go watch some pro wrestling with me.

I came here to explain this and explain why.

Internet sites will all go the way of reddit because female-coded websites had ended/lost their base. So the wave of blue church nuts have no where else to go so they flood everything with their shitty ideological systems and appeals to authority and authoritarianism.

And they won’t admit that it is their own crap that stinks everything up.

The TL;DR is you see what you see as counter culter, I see what I see as counter culture.

Again - we love to think of ourselves as exceptions/not like others. It feels nice and it is nice when others notice our uniqueness.
