@_CharlesPreston I would look at it the other way; it’s good that a black character can be portrayed as incredibly flawed rather than a 2-dimensional cypher the audience uses to be told a simplistic moral. Flawless black characters resemble nothing so much as the magical negro of minstrelsey.

@as_a_worker @GadSaad He’s playing the Twitter clown but
Marxists know very well cultures differ based on their stage of historical development. They have just stopped advertising this part of their theoretical inheritance because it’s bad PR in an age of relentless third worldist moralism.

@DissidentYokel @DalrympleWill @adamparsons homemade car bombings and ballistic rockets supplied by Iran seem...a bit different.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@DalrympleWill @adamparsons It's awful. And it's ethnic cleansing by any other name. And it's also something any European nation would do if a hostile paramilitary were firing rockets into it. I share the horror, but I don't see anyone saying "disarm Hezbollah" or proposing any solutions.

@soulkhan @Donutkid1999 always hilarious to watch big-brained diaspora boy make a spicy take for an audience he imagines are fashionable anti-imperialist activists and academics only to be met with applause by NAZIs. Hope your cognitive dissonance is up to the task!

@daniel_dsj2110 You are comparing mass approval of 1930s social democratic redistribution to mass disapproval of 2020s identity politics.

@spaghettitext @jewndahalfmen Respect. Another rare specimen

@HasAhmed_ We let you go to the Vatican, why can't we go to Mecca? Who's the discriminatory religion again?

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@mehdirhasan I don't understand how you can get scandalized over Israel bombing people (I understand) then also get scandalized when Israel says "hey, we don't want to kill non-combatants. please get to safety." Pick a lane?

@DIAS I love κλέφτικο, ούζο, and δημοτικά τραγούδια, nevertheless, the reason Greece is influential is not because of what it shares with ancient Mediterranean civilizations but for what sets it apart from them.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@avygal This clocks. I remember her in left-wing NY spaces identifying LOUDLY as PR because it had radical clout, never as Jewish. I don't doubt she's got a Jewish mom, but her "bundist" turn feels like a post facto identity grift after PR got stale.

@AllyFogg @YorkieYO When you flood Britain with millions of tribal Mirpuris they don't become Britons. Instead, your country starts to resemble Mirpur.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@DIAS I mean, you're right. It shared much in common with the mediteranean world. But what makes it worth remembering is what set it apart.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@Imran_HussainMP Thought it was a hot spot of pakistani / mirpuri r*pe gangs. No wonder everyone wants to leave it but its new occupiers.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@TuttReal There is something particularly foul about upper-class diasporoids that grew up with servants not far removed from slaves coming to the metropoles of empire to play marginalized.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@GarySpedding Islam is built to engineer demographic majorities. Muslim men may marry non-muslim women and their children become, by law, muslim. Muslim women may not marry non-muslim men. Over the centuries, this produces demographic majorities. Israel is just playing the card it was dealt.

@mehdirhasan The basic problem is that you might have loved watching "The Life of Brian," which makes fun of Jesus, Jews, and Romans, and religion, but would immediately balk if the same comedic treatment were meted out to Muhammad and Islam.

[GregariousTheGreat @GreatGregarious]

@dee_of_e This shit is so funny. Anti-gentrification discourse is just anti-immigration discourse for non-whites. You can try and dress it up with respectable-sounding cultural theory babble about why one version is different but it's really just raw tribalism.
