Immediately after the UNESCO WHC meeting, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida rejected the idea that Koreans were "forced labourers", and claimed that they were instead "requisitioned against their will" to work.
The only spiders I’ve seen want to eat those are cellar spiders, and even that seems reluctant on their part lol. Guess they really taste horrible or something.
I mean, they’re not, if you actually pay attention to politics. One group are actual racist shithead Nazis, for one thing.
But the other group are apologists for the Nazis, as long as the nazi’s donors give them money too, anyhow. Because they’re rich and white, so who cares about consequences right?
The issue is that looks close enough that people who don’t pay attention to politics (and let’s be real, that’s most people) just… don’t care. We see it, but the news makes sure they don’t, and even in the case of Faux News feeds them an alternate reality narrative.
The big issue isn’t just the Republicans, really; it’s how the Democrat leadership shuts down anyone who isn’t pro-Israel and pro-rich-donor. They’re so old-boys-club that they’re totally out of touch with voters.
And so people see one Nazi-party and one reach-across-the-isle cooperate-with-the-Nazi-party and just… walk away.
I mean, Schumer’s said flat out his only job is making sure the Democrats support Israel. And all the rest of the leadership talks about is how they don’t seem to be getting support… so they should quit supporting trans rights and stuff, and go court republicans.
It’s fucking infuriating. And Newsom is just cut from that same insipid cloth.
Or even Walz, at least he knew to call a spade a spade and a weirdo a weirdo (until his own party muzzled him).
If we get Newsom it’ll just be more of the same hooray-for-rich-donors-to-hell-with-the-rest-of-you let’s-head-over-and-court-the-far-right bullshit the Democrats have been doing for decades and I’m fucking sick of it. We need a president and congress that sits for the people, not just the people that bribe them.
The same guy who had Charlie Kirk on his podcast a little while ago to kiss his ass? Hell no. He’s better than Trump, but a wet pile of dog shit is better than Trump.
So I don’t know where you live, but in the US the First Amendment covers pretty firmly that this is allowed. The Sheriff had literally no grounds to arrest him.
I mean, maybe, but in my case I’m sure a good part of it was neither of my parents were good cooks lol
If I didn’t watch them make it, it was pretty hard to tell if the veggies were canned or not; they boiled fresh veggies to the same consistency as the canned ones.
For women it’s a two-way street. Yes, it gets you more jobs and more friends, but it definitely also gets the creeps lined up around the block. Plus, some of those friends and jobs only happened because someone wanted to bang you, and that gets dangerous fast.
Source: one of my friends in high school had looks that I literally saw stop traffic. But hoooly shit did guys especially seem to think her looks were an open invitation, and most of them weren’t subtle about it either.
Because their definition of ‘white’ is ‘rich upper class’, because India is so classist it isn’t even funny. So they think they’re part of the ‘white crowd’.
Short answer: NO. Because ‘white’ is not a culture, and because ‘white’ people were, and sometimes still are, racist assholes.
Long answer: So the reason black people (in the US especially) have an aggregate conglomerate group identity is because they were brought over as slaves, seperated from all their family, and basically had their own cultures beaten out of them. They had to rebuild their cultural identity from scratch.
‘Asians’ tend to not have a bloc group identity except when they get together as a bloc to stand up to white people being assholes (again, yay racism). Individual cultures did, in the past, have insular cultural communities (again speaking mostly US-centric) because ‘white’ people in the US didn’t want ‘those icky non-whites’ living near them (to the point of codifying it into law in many cases). They had to create their own communities in specific ‘permitted’ locations, based on nationality (hence the development of ‘Chinatowns’ and such).
‘White’ people, on the other hand, moved to the US voluntarily and were able to keep their cultures intact and plop them wherever they felt like. So it’s disingenuous at best and outright racist and belittling at worst to claim a ‘white’ identity because ‘black people get to do it’, completely ignoring the fact that black people only do it because people labeling themselves ‘white’ forced them into it.
Edit: adding to this, it is possible for ‘white’ people to have a cultural identity. For example, my family all came from Sweden, and for quite a while found comfort in hanging out with fellow transplants from the home country while we learned the language, found jobs, and such.
As a result my ancestors built Swedish halls, held Swedish festivals, and so on—in fact we still do today, to celebrate our heritage. But we are celebrating Swedish heritage.
Grief is love.
