I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish

"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Heard from Margaret Kimberley

a Black Russian? And that would stir us to fight to support the Neo-Nazis? Just tossing around ideas...

The Achenar-Party DOESN'T WANT racism to end; they're DELIBERATELY reviving racism just to stay in business - that, and this is a so-stupid-it's-brilliant way of nickel-and-diming people into voluntarily embracing totalitarianism, because OF COURSE nobody having rights is just as good as everybody having them (and shoving food up your ass and shitting out your mouth is just as good as the reverse, which is what this reminds me of every time).

It used to be you couldn't accuse people of racism even when it was legitimate (e.g. why assume Saddam and Osama were on the same side? 'Cuz they were both Arab?); now it's best handled like flatulence: You smelt it, you probably dealt it.

This is called 'How delusional am I about race?'. In which I feebly attempt to frame someone as a white supremacist, to defend and support the actual real white supremacists.

"Propaganda all is phony" What are you saying? The Russians are coming? Gimme a break.The US created this mess in the Ukraine via Hillary and her cohorts (Kerry) supporting and installing a bunch of fascistic Ukrainians to run this horror show. Even they seem reluctant to take it on. Get NATO to back off Russia fer God's sake. Why are we even dealing with this bs. Fake war, sword rattling bs. Why in the hell does this country have a 780 billion and counting budget for killing people? Sick! Get a grip! Stop quoting bogus sources for yer incendiary posts. This along with your HIV nonsense is enough. Back off woman.

Pardonnez-moi, shaharazade, but who are you addressing here?

The US created this mess in the Ukraine via Hillary and her cohorts (Kerry) supporting and installing a bunch of fascistic Ukrainians to run this horror show.

Actually, "this horror show" is far older than the US itself is. "The Kiev Russes" (Ukrainians) have been feuding with "the Muscovy Russes" (Russians) since Viking times. Of course, Hillary, Kerry, Biden and company can't resist entangling us, our troops, and gazillions of our tax dollars into Yet Another Never-Ending War......

@thanatokephaloides

and Ukrainians are fond of pointing out smugly that Kiev was a great city long before Moscow even existed.

They don't like to mention, though, that Novgorod is almost as old as Kiev, and that Moscow was founded from Novgorod.

Another thing they don't like to mention is that Novgorod was the only Russian territory to remain semi-free of the Mongol Yoke (they paid Mongol-geld), while Kievan Rus' was utterly crushed for some 200 years.

All true, of course. Novgorod's veche governance was famous for its justice and fairness, too.

But the Viking innovation I was alluding to was the invention of white North Americans, which also hadn't happened yet in the age of which we speak.

@shaharazade This is not a bogus "source". It is an actual tweet representing some goofy wokeness, and deserves the sarcasm that has been posted here in response. I am glad Snoopydawg posts stuff like this so I can poke fun at it without having to go to Twitter.
