I wonder why they feel so emboldened all of a sudden -- the media assures me that what I'm seeing is just normal politics.
Don't you see. Once Obama became president colored people started to believe they are equals. Which "Divided" Americans. Thanks Obama
Very disgusting to see this happen.
Kentucky police are investigating after a series of racist Ku Klux Klan flyers telling immigrants to “leave now” were distributed across the state on inauguration day.
"We've investigated ourselves, and found nothing."
I like that there are absolutely no repercussions in Red Dead Redemption 2 for killing Ku Klux Klanners.
I like that there are no repercussions to killing Nazis in the new Indiana Jones game.
Machinegames owes us a LOT more nazi deaths
I want Machinegames to yell at me and tell me that I owe them 100,000 Nazi scalps.
I'm really hoping Wolfenstein 3 happens, it would be the video game equivalent of Inglorious Basterds.
Why not set it in 2030 with y'all quida as the enemies
Honestly it would be hilarious if they actually did, these dumbasses would quickly learn how utterly dependent on "immigrants" they actually are. I say "immigrants" because everyone knows they consider anyone that isn't white to be an immigrant, even though by that logic anyone who isn't Native American would be an immigrant and that absolutely includes these wastes of oxygen.
That's the whole point of right-wing "anti-immigrant" hysteria - it has always been about the repression of the cheapest source of labour (even cheaper than carceral slavery). Hell, the dynamics of this is even perfectly articulated in the second book of the Old Testament.
But the goons doing the dirty work doesn't need to know that.
Yep, same assholes that complain the "burger flippers" want more than minimum wage, but also want their stuff 30 secs after they place their order and to be treated like royalty.
It's going to blow their minds that the price of food is going to go up because nobody wants to work in horrific conditions for less money than these bigots would ever dream of.
And for Native Americans, I wonder how many of these dumbasses make "reservation runs" for cheap cigs/gas that will vanish if they force them elsewhere.
Step 1 round up 5M people.
Step 2 announce what everyone knows that you can't actually deport 5M people.
Step 3 rent them back to their former employers
Later on we can allow subcontracting people and fully restore slavery.
They can even theoretically work their way to freedom except housing food etc can just cost more than they earn making it impossible to achieve
The price of food is going up because corporations want to maximize profit and WILL make the consumer eat the cost and feel the outrage because the lowest paid employees want a somewhat sustainable wage and not be on welfare while still working 40+ hours a week however they can.
Rising wages does not need to be an indication of rising prices, instead they could be an indication a company is doing well. And that's sorta how it works in startup businesses and stuff right? Eventually that stops because the people making the decisions are now too far removed from the lowest rung, depending how big they grow and how susceptible to greed.
They'll also tell you that minimum wage jobs are for teenagers anyway, but not think anything of buying one of those burgers for lunch on a school day. And guess how they're supposed to pay for college!
Hell, I'd wager most of them fuckers don't even work and are collecting fraudulent SSI and Disability checks and ain't worked a day in their life since they were a teenager.
And for Native Americans, I wonder how many of these dumbasses make "reservation runs" for cheap cigs/gas that will vanish if they force them elsewhere.
Probably not many, considering the Native Americans in Kentucky (and almost all of the US east of the Mississippi) were fully genocided and that state therefore doesn't have any reservations.
I think by default I'm going to do the opposite of whatever the KKK wants
Well, don't go moving to Kentucky just to spite some racists. There are other, more reasonable actions you can take. Such as stealing their cats and dogs and giving those pets a better life and then training those pets to pee on pictures of their old owners and then sending videos of it to the Kentucky KKK.
I feel like thats a lot of work when an Irish special would solve the problem more permanently.
Please provide a demonstration or two
Cant police in my area are vaguely decent, im pretty sure they are aware that there are more firearms in the area than the ATF is aware of and folks would not hesitate to play with them. Actually im certain of it cause the city PD refuses to raid anything even tangentially Redneck related and instead gets the sheriff's department to do it.
Anybody further is principally up to the locals to deal with, I dont want the city over sending folks into mine and I practise what I preach.
