  • Obama killed more people with drone strikes than Bush. Bush killed more than Clinton. Etc.

    Trump 1 did successfully out-airstrike Biden. That’s comforting so long as you don’t factor in the Biden policy of arming proxies in Ukraine (yay! airstrikes good!) or Israel (boo! airstrikes bad!)

    Trump’s also been keen on unilateral attacks, whereas Biden and Obama were both adamantly committed to roping in France and England and Saudi Arabia.

    Idk how much difference any of that makes for folks living under falling bombs.


  • Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.

    Shrug

    I’m not using discord for porn, so I’m not going to lose sleep. Will simply live with a “teen” account until my groups migrate to a better service.

    But you’ll get my biometrics from my cold dead hands.

    They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

    GOOD

    Crazy they didn’t implement this years ago. Discord is bloated with fake user spam.











  • American liberals spent YEARS fighting anyone who suggested racism was still alive in america.

    The standard line was that racism was a Southern trait, while Northern and Western liberals had somehow expunged themselves of the habit. At the same time, you had liberals from the Carter era onward bemoaning failures within the African American and Latin American communities to integrate properly. It was always the minority’s fault for failing to conform. It was never racism among liberals that widened the divide.

    Even to this day they won’t attribute racism in explaining ice’s actions. In fact most didn’t care how many people died at ice’s hands until white people got shot in the face.

    You can run this all the way back to the LA Riots, easily enough. Nevermind the anti-Muslim racism of the post-9/11 era, the Obama-era backlash to civil rights movements during Occupy and then again during BLM. It’s always and forever the minority’s fault for objecting to oppression. People of Color are never sufficiently civil. They don’t respect the norms. They want special favors. They can’t be trusted to argue in good faith. They’ve got dual loyalties. They’re not real Americans.

    Even when you have Obama or Harris on the fucking ballot, you need them or their proxies effectively apologizing for their blackness and denouncing anyone of color who doesn’t agree with their neoliberal politics.

    In summary, americans, and yes american liberals are deeply racist, selfish and uneducated people.

    I don’t think they’re uneducated. All too often, I’ve seen racism taught - implicitly or explicitly - as justification for the modern social order. They’re educated in bigotry. They’re trained to think like this.
