So which is worse? Being openly racist, or delusional that calling yourself "ethnocentric" is somehow not as bad?

I think its worse they were able to be a teacher to begin with.

A distasteful philosophy is easy to slip by. What is absurd is that someone was able to become a teacher while being dumb enough to say what he did to a mixed group and not expect extreme consequences.

You say "dumb", I'll say "emboldened."

It was a very Trumpy thing to do.;

To be fair, ‘ethnocentrism’ doesn’t inherently mean you view your own group as superior, just that you compare every other group against your own.

I’m sure that’s what the guy meant.

But he said what he thought it meant, according to the quote.

Good gravy

Libertarians have long since been isolationist and they sold their third party cred to Tea Party turned MAGA republicans long ago so I see them equating Biden to Zylinsky but how do they tie in FTX? Especially as they are anti regulated IMF and Central/world bank? Is Bankman-Fried the ??? from Underpants to Profit?

Yeah beyond the racism, the idea here is that Biden is moving dollars (in the form of arms) to Zelensky. I guess the LP theory is Zelensky is selling them and then buying crypto. And they would use FTX which was allegedly turning a blind eye to fraud and money laundering. Of course, Biden gets his cut through Hunter natch!

Looks like the Libertarian party account finally deleted that tweet.

Holy feck, the people actually defending the use of that image.

That was the second tweet. The first (deleted) tweet was from the LP which showed a golden triangle with caricatures of Biden, Zelinsky, and Bankman-Fried. BF's caricature had him hunched over with hands washing in anticipation like that image for comparison.

A later tweet indicates that this is the actual source of the drawing.



If so, there should be zero confusion over the intent.

It wasn't just a comparable pose, it was a perfect tracing of that image with the heads swapped.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Also the hands washing portion of the drawing of SBF was almost certainly traced from the above image. It wasn't just a homage - it was intentionally copied for effect.

And it's not a one-off thing. Photoshopping a modern Jewish person over that antisemitic caricature is a standard alt-right meme.

Some fun videos to laugh at.

This ones from 2019 I think but still funny

Are we absolutely sure we want Herschel Walker to go away? I mean…we’d be missing out on stuff like this.

He could sway me with a Buffy parable.

FLORIDA MAN MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
see page 26.

I guess Ye, Nick, and Milo are doing the circuit together now.



They all walk out after about 20 minutes.

The moron doesn’t realize they tolerate him as an enemy of my enemy. The moment they feel they’ve done what they want, they’ll then start talking about the evil of the African American.

I think they are also delighted to have found a Black person who will go along with their notions of white persecution. In the 'interview', Ye specifically mentions how it's okay to refer to the Black vote, but not the Jewish vote or the white vote.

Nick and Milo are both officially connected to Ye's 2024 presidential campaign, which, yes, is a thing.

At the Mar-a-Lago dinner, Ye actually asked Trump to be his running mate, which reportedly soured the mood very quickly. He's crazy and is clearly being manipulated by his handlers.

Milo and Fuentes are among those handlers. Milo is probably in it purely for the grift, but Fuentes is a committed white nationalist, and his vile ideology is now enjoying higher media-wide visibility than it has since the last peak of the KKK.

I expect they'll both push Ye as far as they can for yucks and bucks, and then bail out of his flaming Hindenburg without looking back.

This appears to be real.

If it's deleted, the tweet was from Kanye. It depicted a swastika inside of a Star of David.

The caption was "YE24 LOVE EVERYONE #LOVESPEECH"

It's a tricky image. It can be read three ways:
1) Jewish speech and Nazi speech are both equally worth hearing.
2) Jews and Nazis are equivalent and should both be loved.
3) Jews are actually Nazis.

All three cases elevate and celebrate antisemitism.

And he was Twitbanned by the Twit-in-Chief himself.

Cancelled. He was cancelled by Elon.

Why does Elon hate free speech?

Maybe he hates Kanye. I mean who doesn't?

For anyone who likes anagram, there are several anagrams relevant to the runoff today in this tweets video:
