https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/05/viktor-orban-successfully-removes-soross-open-society-foundations-from-hungary/ I hope Trump does the same in America. Letโs keep our fingers crossed for that.
The new look of white identity politics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xP9TjNj9C8
6:40 is where it starts to get really icky.
She makes the argument that whites are the most virtuous and says that she prefers identity groups stay apart.
I thinkher notion of seperation as a way to remedy race relations, by disassociation from 'the scourge of the oppresssed', is misguided.
Surprised about that like/dislike ratio.
The more diverse America gets, the further into the toilet it goes... and at this point, flush it down."
Except simply saying "America is in the toilet" isn't at all charitable, it's actually wrong.
Syria is in the toilet, that's a bit more fair to say.
Venezuela is in the shitter.
I think the premise that race is the major factor in division and unrest in the US is false, even though I think she has a point about the government forcing people together through quotas etc. I don't think dividing the US into different racial zones will solve anything, in fact it will probably makes things worse unless the underlying problems such as the welfare state and breakdown of family/community are resolved first. But even if it worked, I wouldn't want to be excluded from being able to move to a different area of the country. Luckily, these kinds of people aren't getting anywhere.
^ very good first point
Haidt wrote an essay talking about how race is a much less common reason for someone to be prejudiced than politics.
But also, like I said this video has a near 100% like/dislike ratio which means either it's being seen by a very select bubble because of youtube algorithms or the opinion that races should self-segregate is surprisingly popular.
What's tricky too is that she *is* right about a lot of things.
It's really her conclusions on what to do about it that I take serious issue with.
I think that people who see race as the big issue are more likely to think in terms of segregation, but I think that is a small group at the moment, even though I do think it has been growing due to certain people stoking the flames. hopefully it will die down eventually. And I think your last point sums up my feeling as well, and I think it's true of most identitarians. They see a certain problem, attribute it entirely to the "other", and come up with solutions that would divorce themselves from the perceived problem group.
There may be some truth to it though, especially in terms of Islam, but that is a cultural divide, not necessarily racial.
the idea that if we had only white people then the problems would just go away, is pretty naive.
sorry to break it to anyone who thinks otherwise, but segments of the white population are just as fucked up as any other group, and that has more to do with culture than anything else.
Got called a Eurocentrist for using the Term Middle East
lol

Did yall hear how elated the president of Uzbekistan is to be establising trade deals with Trump?The *w i n n i n g* has been piling on as of late, and this one really interests me. Gets me wondering more about the Uzbeks and if they like Trump as much as their leader.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev is pretty excited to get his hands on American military tech.
I recommend 1.5x speed
*hmmmm*.
Is this the same psychopath who has some sort of grandiose structure constructed to celebrate their nation's lack of interest in taking sides in anything?
Maybe that was Turkmenistan
What does it look like?
They got this crazy lookin thing.
Still looking
Central Asia is a very surreal place
Because it looks like the middle of fucking nowhere
But you get stuff like this
and this
One of the 'Stans in particular had a leader who was obsessed with Cult of Personality
Oh, hello, largest operational space launch facility in the world, that's *also* in the middle of fucking nowhere
Empire of Dust but not in Africa
These ones in particular look like they're straight ouf of a 1930s Soviet sketchbook (or Fallout *or* Game of Thrones, for that matter):
```Niyazov banned the use of lip syncing at public concerts in 2005 as well as sound recordings at "musical performances on state holidays, in broadcasts by Turkmen television channels, at all cultural events organized by the state... in places of mass assembly and at weddings and celebrations organised by the public," citing a negative effect on the development of musical arts incurred by the use of recorded music.
Niyazov banished dogs from the capital Ashgabat because of their "unappealing odour."
According to the Ashgabat correspondent of Turkmenistan.ru, right-hand-drive imported cars converted to left-hand-drive were banned due to a perceived increased risk in accidents.
Niyazov requested that a "palace of ice", or indoor ice skating rink, be built near the capital, so that those living in the desert country could learn to skate. The rink was built in 2008 and is located near the new Turkmen State Medical University.
After having to quit smoking in 1997 due to his resultant heart surgery, he banned smoking in all public places and ordered all government employees to follow suit. Chewing tobacco on Turkmen soil was later banned as well.
He outlawed opera, ballet and circuses in 2001 for being "decidedly unturkmen-like".
In February 2004, he decreed that men should no longer wear long hair or beards.
He banned news reporters and anchors from wearing make-up on television, because he said he found it difficult to distinguish male anchors from female anchors.
Gold teeth were discouraged in Turkmenistan after Niyazov suggested that the populace chew on bones to strengthen their teeth and lessen the rate at which they fall out```
interesting fellow
```The agreement included 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer, which were sold to a Swedish company for scrap recycling. Those 17 submarines made Pepsi become, for a few days, the 6th largest military power in the world by number of diesel submarines. The president of Pepsi, Donald Kendall, told the National Security Adviser of USA: "We are disarming the USSR faster than you".```

I've got the Five Star Movement running Italy
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/19/italy-far-right-lega-five-star-immigrants
This guys a Child and he runs Austria now
radical faggotry
I think i found the dumbest person ever
he thinks the Middle East does not exist and that the area should be called South West Asia
I showed him that it also includes non Asian countries and he calls me a supporter of Eurocentric views and a Evil racist European Imperialist
Call it Goatfucking Land.
Iโd rather call it the Future Glass Sea
^
I call it the land that once was more important, powerful, and technology advance then Europe. Now i see a land of tribal warfare, terrorism, sectarian Violence, Racism, genocide, and corruption.
Except "golden age of Islam" is a myth.
Nope
it's not
It is.
Yep, that's pretty accurate.
I don't even know if Islam ever had a golden age to begin with.
Still you have the House of Wisdom, the preservation of the works of Aristotle and Plato, the development of most of modern math.
They destroyed 90% of the culture they conquered.
Can you imagine what would have been preserved had Islam **not** invaded and destroyed 90% of greek culture?
they were still also technologically more advance then the Europeans until about the European Renaissance
And most of modern math has definitely not been developed by Islam.
@DanielKO Most of our Greek literature was preserved through the House of Wisdom
i am not saying Islam was this great savior
It's funny to be labeled as "preserver" when they're the ones invading the land and destroying most of it.
I mean of course
they are a Empire
Empires conquer
"We didn't burn ALL of the books, you can thank us later."
That is *somewhat* true, but not entirely
you guys badmouthing Islam in here?
I just talking about how the Islamic Empire was more advance technologically then the Europeans until the the European Reissuance.
If anything they preserved the knowledge from those civilizations. But that's about it.
pretty much
again they were not perfect though
they were pretty cruel to the jews
```
By the way, the rest of the doctrine found from the greeks and the romans, was in the Byzantine Empire, and it finally really got into Europe... why? Well... the Muslims crushed Constantinople, and the scholars had to flee.```
Plus they invented Algebra, but I don't know how it compares to what other civilizations contributed to Math and Science.
Algebra is pretty important
Greeks could do far more advanced problems without algebra.
@DanielKO The Whole thing with the Byzantine Empire is a complicated mess.
Also dont down play Algebra
its pretty important
And 0.
```
One of the things that came out of the "Golden Age" was the philosophy "there is no cause and effect, and there are no natural laws."```
LOL
lol
Algebra started in Babylon and Egypt.
Their is also the Canon book of Medicine
which to be fair was a combination of what greek, muslim, and indian scholars wrote
Let's just say they were good at dissecting humans, I'll give them that.
They were really advanced with medicine fit some reason
they had alot of stuff from Ionian greeks they used
thats how they have alot of Greek stuff mixed in with them
Basically the Chinese and Muslims were more powerful then the Europeans until the 1500s
> Can you imagine what would have been preserved had Islam not invaded and destroyed 90% of greek culture?
Well it's not 100% their fault. The Mongols had something to do with the libraries of Bagdhad
Nah
It was a rhetorical question. Of course theyโre not a credible source anymore. Remember when it wasnโt filled with SJW bullshit?
Yeah but that was ages ago
Jacob is very good on holding his own reguarding the Catholic Religion
I bet
but in a Liberal Democracy it's supposed to be all good
I'm Catholic my missus was Hindu
I've dated Orthodox Christians, Buddists, ex Muslims
This is is the back of my sisters computer, someone kill me please. <:think_hang:378717098903470080>
Wheh she is single, tell me
I'm going to red pill her
nah, she dating
I know, a latino guy
oh I see what you said
misread that
suppository?
<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
Also, she can learn a lot by hanging around this discord
We've all been cringe in our teenager years.
She'll grow out of it.
Question: how does the value of your property "deteriorate" if minorities come in?
probably has to do with crime or something
And neighbors not maintaining their homes, leaving everything dirty, smelly.
yup
"White flight eventually becomes more likely in middle-class neighborhoods when the presence of Hispanics and Asians exceeds 25 percent and 21 percent, respectively," Uhh, Asians and Hispanics don't have a high crime rate like African Americans
And it doesnt even necessarily have to be true, it is just the perception that people have of minorities and that is enough to make people want to move
like i said above it probably has more to do with peoples perceptions
And nothing's wrong with that. You can't stop people from moving out of places if they wish to move out.
yup
yes, but this sort of behavior interferes with discrimination laws. I actually spoke about this with someone
lol idk
he says he doesn't get along with blacks and wants to move, that's cool, but he also says that if a black moves into his neighborhood than they can be denied certain things
"One of my neighbors' house smells of weed all the time, the other hasn't maintained his lawn in 3 years, the other has 12+ people living in his house. I guess I'll move out."
his exact words were that black people are jealous of his skin colour
so?
maybe they are
I doubt it.
there is dark skinned light skinned thing in the black community
anyway, besides the race thing, I think there are class reasons for it too
lets say government assistance gets lower class people into a middle class neighborhood
now there is another level of difference there, which might be a greater contributor
because lower class people I think tend to bring in crime
Are poor people entitled to have rich neighbors? Or to local businesses?
no
If I'm raising a family, I'd prefer to live near other families of similarly aged kids, similar income bracket and education level.
think about it, if a bunch of redneck hillbillys moved into your neighborhood and didnt mow their yard and left junk cars in their driveway, you would want to move out
And no one wants to live there, so property values go down
live where you want, I'm just saying that when "White Flight" was a thing minorities would get discriminated against. "In the United States, Redlining is the systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices. While the best known examples of redlining have involved denial of financial services such as banking or insurance,[2] other services such as health care[3] or even supermarkets[4] have been denied to residents."
@Deleted User And If white people move in, its called gentryfication
So no matter what whites do, they get blamed
unfortunately
"Gentrification is a process of renovation of deteriorated urban neighborhoods by means of the influx of more affluent residents."
I actually dont see how its a bad thing...
Blacks are poor
Cant afford rent
Have to leave
then move, the neighborhood shouldn't stay shitty
Ask San Francisco, locals have been demanding tech companies engineers to move out.
Because poor people can't afford to live there anymore.
@Deleted User There is a reason we Love you
My take on this is: if white people moving out turns your neighborhood to shit, maybe the whiteys were the ones keeping it nice. They don't owe a nice neighborhood to anyone. That said, government shouldn't deny services, and I believe that's illegal.
Again we turn to Empire of Dust
at some point you have to separate market forces from perceived racism. people try to do what is in their best interest, and if enough people do that trends will emerge, and then you can look at those trends later and come up with all sorts of ideas as to what the motivation behind it was. but at the end of the day, it's just people trying to improve their lives.
If you see things only in a racial lense, you will see racism where there isnt any
exactly
yup
I actually don't understand the issue with Gentrification though, I probably don't know too much about it, but from the Wikipedia article, it sounds like the shitty neighborhoods are improving when "whities" move in.
Imagine Broo and Kaden watching Empire of Dust together
As for business leaving when demographics change, could simply be the new locals spend less money on the business. Maybe they have less money, or different culture. Gotta raise prices to stay afloat, or move shop.
The second thing is, who wants to own a shop in crime infested part of town?
White Flash is different btwfrom gentrification lol @franti
It's not as simple as "I'm gonna screw those niggers, jack my prices up do they can't afford it."
"white flash"
<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
But The Flash has always been white... Or did DC reboot it again?
I don't care if you are Purple or Green
gentrification can be bad for poorer people because making a neighborhood "nice" drives up prices because people want to move there. also more expensive shops will move in to cater to the richer people.
I have a Dream
racism is just an excuse for commies to shit on capitalism
In the Uk we call it Keeping up Appearances
in the USA it's more White picket fences
lol, we have that show on PBS
๐
@Fulcrum010 redpill her, with your dick
Hahahahahaha
That would be ideal
But for real, I do believe his sister have a lot to gain by hanging around here
You think Communists suffer from a Survivorship Bias?
As in we have no dropped enough of them into the ocean?
or that they have been able to swim back
Maybe that they survived longer than their nazi brethren

One of the "sources" say that Trump had 500 twitter bots. And Hillary had at least a million bots.
Nowhere the "7:1" figure appears in the supposed sources.
Wikipedia is Fake News.
"Russian agents"
Christ, it's so dramatic
I LOVE that FAKE NEWS was invented by the Democrats
and it only took 9 days
to make it a Trump thing
