Cheers, Fish, I thought I'd gone that far back in the General threads timeline, but obviously not.  (Now found a more direct home for it.) But the question still is if recently riled Donald might add this to ledger of things he doesn't like about NK.

(Having switched his apparent views on whether Japan deserves US support and laxness over NK's efforts to get into the Nuke Club, it's hard to know if he's just spouting. For all we know, he's taking notes.)


As to Trump's team fragmenting even as it is still being assembled, I think he's seeing how different being POTUS is to being a CEO. But I'm not entirely sure which way he's going to go about making his leadership fit the role. Could go either way. Or off the rails entirely in the attempt.

I think you're assuming he knows how to be a CEO to begin with

*Ahem* Toronto is in Canada.

But yeah, pot calling the kettle black there.

I hope the pun was unintentional, 'cause that just makes it funnier.

"Othering"-- it's a decidedly human thing. Happens to all 'races'.

It's bullshit every time, but somehow "It's different this time!" when it happens to one's own demographic.

Will humanity EVER learn this lesson?

Well of course, humans are self-serving egocentric little shits even when they really try hard not to be. You will always care about your own group the most because you're in it, even if you try to play nice with groups you don't belong to.

Wasn't trying to make a pun, and that's the idiom. I may have used it wrong though, but I was trying to use the general hypocrisy angle since she's acting exactly like the way some white supremacists act, except flipped.

Hence my interjection.

Same bullshit, different group against another.

You can shuffle the skin color around as many times as you like, the pattern will remain.

Group A is in ascendency/power.
Group B is in decline.
Group A disparages group B, invents some bullshit about why B is clearly inferior to A.

Bullshit every time. Humanity JUST DOES NOT LEARN.

Have you actually read the posts? This is Daily Caller propaganda, not an actual representation of Khogali's beliefs.

Edit: Have you read the posts? They gave us a screenshot of one in the article, and it's pretty damning, unless you mean to say they Photoshopped it somehow.

Moot.

For white europeans, group B was black africans.
For Nazi Germans, group B was Jews.
For White Americans, group B was black africans and native americans.
For black africans, group B was white europeans. (Apartheid.)
For Japan, group B was the Chinese.
For China, group B was the Mongolians and the Japanese.

Same pattern, AGAIN, and AGAIN, and AGAIN.

Instead of condemning the recurrence of this pattern of nonsense, each and every time it comes out as a righteous condemnation of Group A by group B-- Completely ignoring that the roles can, and have in the past, completely reversed, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED.

It is not membership of the group that causes the problem. It is the being human, and refusing to be something better.

“Whiteness is not humxness,” the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.” The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.

I don't know if I need to know any more than that, other than if centred is an acceptable spelling of centered in some strange, sub-humxn place.

[wierd]

centre is an accepted alternative to center.
