@brockscholte @MoonMoney1 @Diachanyus @ChrisRGun Now, if I were to go up to an African American and start talking in a Ugandan accent (as if that's all they could understand), THAT would be racist
@brockscholte @MoonMoney1 @Diachanyus @ChrisRGun No I don't believe I have. You put on a Ugandan accent to make fun of being Ugandan, not being black. When you put on a Chinese accent to make fun of Asian people in general, you are making fun of being Asian.
@MoonMoney1 @brockscholte @Diachanyus @ChrisRGun I and many others on the right are perfectly willing to take the piss out of rednecks, I assure you. Although taking mannerisms and applying them to a race universally IS racist. (I.e. you wouldn't fake a Chinese accent when talking to an American Asian person)
@MoonMoney1 @brockscholte @Diachanyus @ChrisRGun That wasn't the whole point I was trying to make, but I figured you'd fixate on that. My point is that making fun of an exaggerated version of a nation's mannerisms isn't racist because races aren't monoliths that behave identically. Black =/= Ugandan, Arab =/= Pakistan, etc..
@MoonMoney1 @brockscholte @Diachanyus @ChrisRGun Surely making fun of Ugandans is simply making fun of a nation, right? All black people aren't Ugandan, or behave as Ugandans. To use Block's example, if I were to make fun of the British person, I'm not being racist against whites. (Not that I imagine you think that's possible)
@ersatzbruce @gmlac79 @umbyrella @AnonyMs_One @MattBinder 1) getting rid of the individual mandate just let's people opt out of Obamacare if they want without taxing them. It takes nothing away
2) Legal gun owners commit infinitely less crime than illegal gun owners
3) Not all right-wingers are interventionist neo-cons
@ersatzbruce @gmlac79 @umbyrella @AnonyMs_One @MattBinder Please show me these evil right-wing death squads you seem to be talking about, or I'm afraid you might be delusional.
@AnonyMs_One @QuesoCaliente @umbyrella @MattBinder Do you see the blatant irony in what your saying? "I don't think you can reason with them, so let's become totally unreasonable."
This is how decent, liberal (in the enlightenment sense) societies die.
@Luke_Turner@jordanbpeterson Man, I really have to thank you for setting that whole thing up. Every moment watching the live stream was an unending deluge of hilarity that I won't be able to forget. I'm really going to miss witnessing Punished Jesus sing Snake Eater and seeing the flag get captured.
