LMAO I thought it was that guy from N'Sync who fell out a balcony earlier this year or something. White dudes with frosted tips all look the same to me.
This is small potatoes compared to the Sig debacle. Between the M17/M18, and the 277 Fury round, they're chasing whatever bang wiz bullshit they think will win them whatever fantasy war they're cooking up.
The pistol sucks and goes off uncommanded. The round is better IF you're not putting high volume through a barrel because of the wild amount of chamber pressure. Then there's the expense and complexity of a 3 part casing. Sure it has advantages, but the logistics difference is like trying to field a fleet of Ferraris vs. Toyotas. And wars are won on logistics.
These dumbasses feel invincible so they kept reading Sun Tzu and smirking to themselves thinking that they've overcome realty. Now they chase every shiny object they see.
I mean, the origin of the NPP is nakedly just a super rich arms manufacturer buying positive PR. Kissinger getting it is in keeping with the purpose of the foundation.
The overtaking of the US hegemon has been methodical and patient; an approach that made China one of the earliest cohesive nations and will solidify them as the enduring civilization of all mankind.
I for one am elated that Western Civilization™ will be a silly foot note in future history books.
Interesting... I can see what you're saying. My personal use of it has been to punch up and infer the white person that I call a slur as having a broken morality.
So if we get into the bourgeoisie foundations of our day to day used language I think others, like me, keep learning new ways they've influenced our language and in turn ways of thinking. That said, common use of language is what defines it over time (e.g. new language is created all the time), so we can reclaim and recreate the meanings of words and phrases. But in light of what you're pointing out, should we?
I can see where digital blackface could be what someone sees in my language too... If I call them "white devil", I'm of course invoking language popularized by the Black Panthers, and I do mean to do so. My purpose behind that is to convey that I'm not a friend of the concept of "whiteness" and it's hegemonic power. Again, should I not?
My thoughts when it comes to this is that I align with my class and that the language of the BPP come from class and not race. But I'm white, so I know I'm liable to have shitty blind spots. I'm trans so my focus tends to be trying to find my queer phobic blind spots first, and naturally through a white lens.
The unintellectual lizard brain side of me also just wants something to call ruling class and their toadies something that pisses them off.
Wait, he was a pedo?
