For some reason that comfy pub dream always hits home for me

2017-04-13 02:30:34 UTC  

Probably one of the first things you lose when you become multiracial

2017-04-13 02:30:47 UTC  

Is having the same socialization patterns as people around you

2017-04-13 02:31:16 UTC  

Which is also one of the most devastating

2017-04-13 02:31:46 UTC  

I imagine it contributes a lot to the way people approach drinking now

2017-04-13 13:11:08 UTC  

Pubs will close in England because Muds don't drink

2017-04-13 13:11:14 UTC  

Think about that

2017-04-13 13:14:07 UTC  

I really really don't like migrants

2017-04-13 13:52:00 UTC  

@Convo that was a really good argument in regards to emotion versus morality, will be stealing that

2017-04-13 13:54:25 UTC  

@northern_confederate Ha-ha ! It's all you'res, my friend : )

2017-04-13 14:09:04 UTC  

@Convo that's a really good way of framing that

So Styx has a 4D chess narrative.
1. Trump's most ardent supporters don't actually support him, they hate him, they just want the wall and no wars.
2. Trumps most ardent opponents don't hate his policies, they just hate him for who he is and how he looks and sounds.
3. The 4D chess is betraying his ardent supporters knowing he can win their vote back in a heartbeat if he makes moves towards the policies they want. In the meantime he's trying to get the opponents to become supporters.

How do yall feel about this recent Volkwagen commercial?

2017-04-13 16:54:36 UTC  

My feelings about it are mixed. On the one hand, I was pleasantly surprised to see a normal--arguably even traditional--white family having a brood of kids early on in life.

2017-04-13 16:55:44 UTC  

on the hand >sex on TV

2017-04-13 16:55:52 UTC  

Degenerate

2017-04-13 16:56:09 UTC  

On the other hand, I don't really think its all that appropriate for daytime regular TV b/c children and what not.

2017-04-13 16:56:39 UTC  

@Nikephoros Neither do i

2017-04-13 16:58:03 UTC  

With that in mind, I almost forgot that there are already suggestive and even obscene ads/programs on these channels already.

2017-04-13 16:58:46 UTC  

So it begs the question: is this ad just as bad as what's already mainstream?

2017-04-13 16:59:11 UTC  

I'm inclined to say that it isn't.

2017-04-13 16:59:15 UTC  

Probs better than the normal nikie

2017-04-13 17:00:03 UTC  

Yeah, I think so too.

2017-04-13 17:00:23 UTC  

A large white family and well thats how kids are made so...

2017-04-13 17:02:09 UTC  

Thinking back to my early childhood, I don't think I would've understood what was going on.

2017-04-13 17:05:02 UTC  

Anyways, I wonder if this is an indication that media companies--or at least ad firms--are changing direction on the anti-white themes.

2017-04-13 17:05:57 UTC  

No its white people buy Cars

2017-04-13 17:08:05 UTC  
2017-04-13 17:08:16 UTC  

And they like moneys

2017-04-13 17:11:00 UTC  

Well obviously! That's the entire point goal of advertising a product.

2017-04-13 17:12:26 UTC  

But there's always secondary themes involved in the messaging. The preceding trends have all pointed towards anti-white sentiments, but now some companies may be rethinking that approach.

2017-04-13 17:14:36 UTC  

Whether or not the ad firms genuinely care about the message they send in their ads, it can be interpreted as an indication of where these firms forecast society's tastes are headed.

2017-04-13 17:16:14 UTC  

i.e.: we might be able to better understand the approximate sentiments of our society if we take cues from people who analyze these things professionally

2017-04-13 17:16:30 UTC  

I understand that but the white family may be purely advertisment

2017-04-13 17:20:07 UTC  

Right but think of the motivation for picking a white family over a minority/mixed-race family. It suggests that the ad firm decided that 'young white family producing 3+ kids in rapid succession' is something that will appeal to broad audiences.

2017-04-13 17:23:20 UTC  

You can even contrast it with other car ads that feature full white families. Those ads usually featured a middle-age white family with 1 or 2 children, often including an ensamble of 2 or 3 minority children who are the white kids' friends.

2017-04-13 17:24:12 UTC  

It goes without saying that these are mini-van ads.
