@Tyler_A_Harper I mean he's a white guy in rap. So either he's a fully committed token white rap guy or he's a white nationalist who's engaged in white nationalist proselytizing. Because there's not much room for centrism in his profession.

Are we 100% sure Rick Rubin isn’t the QAnon shaman?
Boots Riley@BootsRiley
Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump. He just looks like a hippie.

@terrybythebay @shadihamid Since most cops are white nationalist cretins that's accurate.
And most who wear cop uniforms are whites who want to legally terrorize non whites and then go home and beat their wives.
English
@shadihamid These stereotypes have worked there way into Hollywood where in every police drama the gangs are white supremacists/poor hicks and the police detectives are black women.

The "White Rural Rage" book is a clown show. It's the 2024 version of all the absurd, self-serving Muslim rage discourse post-9/11. It's funny how elites who complain about punching down do precisely that when it's about white people who they don't like.

Seriously this is so brutal, from a fellow political scientist. Absolutely hilarious.

@RudyHavenstein Because whining about inflation isn't going to magically solve it as it's a *global* economic problem.
And voting for the orange crook isn't going to solve it either.
So mockery is the proper response.

The very common mocking of Americans' concern over the high and constantly rising cost of living ticks me off.

@RobtNS @jdcmedlock @MrJonCryer Most Black Americans didn't choose to be in the US. Unlike whites who deliberately came to North America and genocided the native population to steal their land and resources.

@jdcmedlock @MrJonCryer By the way, since Bree wants to end all colonialism does that mean she's going to leave the country?

A recurring political problem is the Republican policy platform is so extreme that they can literally spell it out in great detail, give it a name and a website, and people still don’t believe it
Don’t Boo…Revolt!@BreeNewsome
Let’s think about it— a “secret plan” among Republicans that no one acknowledges is real including the people we must reelect to protect us from it. It’s a little qanon-y at this point, primarily about defending Biden’s nonsensical renomination.

@AlanMCole Intelligence? Not that much more advanced compared to dolphins and orcas who are in some ways more intelligent.

Early childhood development is crazy.
<0.5 years: basically doesn’t do anything
2.5 years: already obviously becoming the most capable species on earth, with godlike intelligence even relative to the cleverest border collie, and fast increasing dexterity in the hands.

@CurtisScoon The entire concept of tarzan is just white nationalist propaganda, where a random yt takes over the jungle in Africa and he's tolerated because they allow it.
Which is a common theme where a random yt will enter an area and be better at what the non white natives do than them.
English
As a kid I watched the old Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller. Tarzan was a white man who was “King of the jungle.” The black natives addressed him as “Bwana.” I looked it up TONIGHT and guess what? The physical and psychological onslaught endured by black people is unfathomable.

@SH37363543 @CurtisScoon @eli_outsider And let's not forget that Haley deliberately censored Malcolm's Black nationalism and refused to publish it in the book because Haley, like most Black Americans, was foolishly focused on trying to assimilate into a fundamentally anti Black country.

@WKCosmo And what's accepted by science depends on what one deems worth studying and funding research into. Which are both subjective concepts. Also history is replete with ideas that were rejected for decades by scientists due to stubbornness and cowardice only to later be accepted.

You know what you call indigenous knowledge that has been confirmed via the scientific method? Science.
If it passes that test, it's science, and it belongs in a science class. If it doesn't, it isn't, and it doesn't.

@sarris_the19363 @WKCosmo Which Pythagoras didn't even discover. The babylonians did. His supporters just slapped his name on it. Also Pythagoras wasn't even a good mathmatician.

@AndrewJayabc Agreed. Back to having a generic white guy captain imposing his will on everyone else. So all is right with the star trek world again.

@arstechnica It's a relief to get away from all the very 2022 wokeness that was Discovery.

If modern Star Trek shows have all felt a little off to you, Strange New Worlds' back-to-basics approach and episodic storytelling could be what you've been waiting for.

@Aizenmyou @AudreySAutrey @TheLiberalPoet "Technically" he's a white African whose white ancestors trespassed in South Africa and stole land from the natives to create a fake country that they got rich from.

@AudreySAutrey @TheLiberalPoet Well I mean, he is technically more African than most African-Americans.
