Cool selective outrage. Let’s talk about what actually happened at Little Bighorn since you brought it up.
The same warriors you’re celebrating spent years conducting raids on white settler homesteads, scalping children, burning families alive, kidnapping women for months of assault before ransom or death. The Comanche alone tortured captives in ways that would make your stomach turn. This wasn’t rare. It was deliberate, documented war policy.
Yes, the 7th Cavalry committed atrocities. So did the tribes they fought. War on the frontier was brutal on every side. The difference is you’re cheering one set of massacres while ignoring the other because it fits a cleaner narrative.
Cynthia Ann Parker. The Elm Creek Raid. The Salt Creek Massacre. Look them up before you post feathers like a trophy.
Very confused. I was on the Facebook just now and I have gay cousin he was dating another gay guy. They were together for a few years. They break up about 2 years ago and now on Facebook I see the other gay guy isn’t gay no more in fact he is in relationship with a woman and just had a gender reveal for the baby. I didn’t know you could do that.
Austin Metcalf's murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act – cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc. – which is accompanied by the implicit threat of violence.
In this case, Karmelo Anthony took Austin Metcalf's seat. Karmelo provoked Austin knowing that he was armed – that if Austin objected, he would just stab him. And that's exactly what happened.
Most people don't want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects. It is a mentality entirely alien to well-to-do people. It isn't a sign of masculinity or being a "bad ass" – trained fighters, elite soldiers, etc. don't act that way in public.
It obviously isn't all black people who behave this way. But of those who do, most are black. I remember seeing a clip of some lowlife black dude threatening to stab a hipster looking black guy on a train for asking him to turn his music down, so it isn't as if you have to be white to object to this sort of antisocial behavior. But that said, the pattern is unignorable, and you rarely see whites, Asians, or Jews acting like this.
This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take.
No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare.
The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral.
Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year.
Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes.
Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment.
The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.”
America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be.
Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities.
Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis.
It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.
This piece of shit pushed every gun control law under the sun after a tragedy and now the spiritless pussy shot and killed a woman and himself. Red flag law huh?
In middle school, you're taught to believe that a black woman being told to sit somewhere else on a bus (70 years ago) is a greater injustice than this.
That was one of the greatest endings to any sporting event I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Easily one of the greatest shots/moments in the history of the NCAA tournament. I love sports so much. Nothing like it.
