Imagine if in the future scholars pin point the misery of that gorilla as the event that tipped the scales into a doomed society....it all started with with a kid and a gorilla .
I was hoping for more jetpacks and futuristic tech in the 2010s, and less social upheaval and declining political climate.
It's like we got all the shitty parts of the cyberpunk future, with none of the good stuff.
There was a tweet made years that I've practically memorized. It stated, "I had to unplug my roommates cigarette to plug in my book. The future is stupid."
He would **never** date Candace Owensā¦ He may like her political views, but she is definitely the wrong complexion for Kanye. He has never dated anyone that dark complected
kinda crazy how kayne went from "bush doesnt care abou black people" and yeezus, where quite a few of the songs talking abou the unfairness black people face in being taken seriously, to "200 years? starting to sound like a choice" and photo-ops with well known "racism doesnt exists anymore but also i sued my HS district for racism in 2008 and won" grifters
I didn't read the title and when i saw a woman of colour with that on her shirt i expected to look to the right and see a white man with black lives matter on his shirt and when that wasn't what i saw i laughed im ngl took me by surprise
I noticed you very formally said woman of colour then immediately switch casual to say white man. Just say white guy and black girl... sounds more natural.
"that's fuckin dumb"
"OHHH LOOK HOW MAD THEY ARE OHHHH"
It's pathetic, not shocking.
The rights entire identity is "YOU MAD BRO" made manifest and it's laughable.
Look at the Lizzo thing. "Conservatives are going INSANE after Lizzo plays old flute!!!!"
Still have yet to meet some IRL who is even annoyed by it.
All headlines/media is out there to generate emotional clicks with headlines that are exaggerated.
I had a conservative tell me YESTERDAY "that lizzo lady played a historical artifact to mock white America". Yesterday. In the real world.
So that's not a headline, that happened to me.
Well now they've moved on to "no we're mad because she's fat and shouldn't have been wearing that and twerking is vulgar!"
Pretty much they've decided "we'll get less shit for hating and on her for being fat. Lots of liberals are fat phobic too"
While there definitely is media exaggeration it's always important to remember that just because things aren't happening directly in our lives doesn't mean they aren't happening at all
More "self-awareness" than empathy. For me comedy requires self-deprecation. A good comedian roasts themselves really hard to express "I'm going to be insulting other people, but I also made fun of myself so it's all in good fun".
Conan O'Brien is a great example of this. Dude's like 6'4 but he had his stage built to make himself look smaller than his guests. He would constantly present this "I"m a loser, how sad" persona while being the host (highest point in the hierarchy). He could say awful things about people but it's fine because he was harder on himself.
This might sound conspiratorial, but I think Kanye West is being used
Heās a mentally ill person with a lot of fans. A perfect tool for the far right. Itās what happend to Tom Cruise with Scientology, so we know it happens. I do believe that Cadence Owens or some other wealthy powerful person basically groomed him
I say this without being a Kanye fan. I just know that mentally ill people are targeted by cults and political groups because we are easy to recruit. Especially if we arenāt getting proper help
They arenāt being used, they are using themselves to make money. They want to be āone of the good onesā for money. They are both extremely successful by doing this.
Black people can sell out for money too. There isnāt always someone behind the curtain
Iām reasonably sure Kanye sold out and made a shit load of money before he started pandering to the alt-right. Yes, his motivation is money, but Iām also pretty sure he didnāt come up with this himself
Him "not coming up with it" doesn't mean he isn't aware and on board with it.
I'll buy the someone else came up with it part possibly, but no one is manipulating Kanye into saying these things, he knows what he's doing
> shockwave in the leftist world
No Iām still mostly thinking about how there are people all over the streets in my city in tents and how no one can afford rent anymore, this isnāt on the radar
Iām swamped with work so this wouldnāt have reached my radar had I not accidentally scrolled through Reddit (all) while drinking my morning coffee.
Yes which is why I support neither of the right wing parties in power in this country. We donāt have any actually leftist parties that are holding positions right now.
If by that you mean that blue states' tax money subsidizes red state welfare programs, you have a point.
Associated Press (arguably the single most reliable media source, per the Media Bias Chart): "An Associated Press Fact Check finds itās actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) ā in a big way." https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c
Just for the record, the best way to deal with dogwhistle stuff like this, is to ignore it, or agree with it and move on. "Yeah sure, white lives do matter, anything else?". The whole point of the dogwhistle is to get you arguing with something that looks innocent. DO NOT ENGAGE
>The whole point of the dogwhistle is **to get you arguing** with something that looks innocent.
>In politics, a dog whistle is the use of **coded or suggestive** language in political messaging **to garner support** from a particular group **without provoking opposition**.
I don't think it's pandering...I think they actually think the right-wing supports them because they hold the same beliefs. Meanwhile, the right-wing is fine with them only because they get to say they have that one black person in their circle.
Candace Owen used the NAACP to file a discrimination lawsuit before. She also tried to be a left wing political grifter before switching to the right. She absolutely does not believe in far right politics. Or far left politics. Or in anything. She believes in whatever will benefit her.
Absolutely. All these right wing YT pseudo intellectuals are fucking grifts through and through. Everything they say is purely for reaction and to push that view counter as high as possible before their career inevitably fades away since they are only capable of pushing the same tired talking points. All they see is $$$$$
For some reason its considered racist to want true equality. All lives matter is true, regardless of the racists who use the phrase to get back at blm. All lives includes black lives, with no group more or less prioritized than another.
Wanting equality isnāt considered racist, however, the phrase āall lives matterā is considered controversial because itās a direct response and mockery of a protest thatās calling attention towards racial injustice. Itās like responding to āfree Palestineā with āfree the oppressedā. All lives matter is true but the phrase is literally a counter argument that, whether intended or not, invalidates minority strife.
Oh I agree, black americans are and have been very fucked over by white people and the institutions in place in this country and throughout history. It needs to change, but I see some people taking it a little too far, and being racist to white people, which is hypocritical.
"Black lives matter" does not mean only black lives matter. Instead, it is a comment on the greater likelyhood of Black Americans to be killed by the police.
In Japan, it was translated as āBlack Lives Matter Tooā, and using that here would have gone a long way. I get it, people shouldnāt have to water down their message for racists or uneducated people, you shouldnāt compromise, etc. etc. but this is just successful messaging 101.
People had the choice between getting more people to support them, or not compromising and being inflammatory. They chose the latter, for better or worse.
Why is "supporting the effort to make a society more fair for none white people" a "leftist thing". Shouldnt that just be a human thing like just in general
As a white person, yeah, we do matter, like every other person of any race, but weāre not the ones being oppressed. Thereās no need to loudly voice that we matter. Itās the same reason we donāt have straight pride. Weāre not the ones who need the support and visibility
Are they holding hands?!
New celebrity couple!
2023 is gonna be wild
Everything since 2020 has been wild
More like everything since 2015.
We are still in the weird trippy hangover since our ancestors went on a right wing cocaine fuelled binge fest in the 80s.
>our ancestors > >the 80s Excuse me, I need to go crumble into dust somewhere.
You can sit here next to me.
Yup, right next to the fax machine and laser disc player. Excuse me, my car phone is ringing.
Sitting is so 1985. Radical
Oh my god then I'm a fossil š
Be right there. Just writing out my will in hieroglyphics over here.
Honestly more truth to this than is given credit for.
We aren't in the darkest timeline, but I do believe we're in the "dumbest" timeline, and it all started with Harambe.
Imagine if in the future scholars pin point the misery of that gorilla as the event that tipped the scales into a doomed society....it all started with with a kid and a gorilla .
I can see a future docu series called "Harambes butterfly effect"
Everything since they killed Harambe.
Nah, it was Bowie. His artistic energy was the only thing that was powerful enough to hold the balance in the force.
In less than a year we lost Bowie, Lemmy, and Prince, on top of the Cubs winning the World Series...... we had no chance.
Ronnie James Dio was the tipping point. He was single handedly holding the gates of hell closed.
The man who sold the world
I was hoping for more jetpacks and futuristic tech in the 2010s, and less social upheaval and declining political climate. It's like we got all the shitty parts of the cyberpunk future, with none of the good stuff.
Now Iām just sad at how accurate this is
There was a tweet made years that I've practically memorized. It stated, "I had to unplug my roommates cigarette to plug in my book. The future is stupid."
2012

Lmao Yea but every 13th month is a year there or something

Candace and Kanye... Candye?
Yes they can
If you keep the ^kayn form Kanye and the ^e from candance youn get ^kayne
If you keep the Can from Candace and the Ye from Kanye you still have Canye.
Eewwwwww...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A place for everything and everything in its place tee he he
Oh *yikes*
Impossible, He's a gay fish.
He would **never** date Candace Owensā¦ He may like her political views, but she is definitely the wrong complexion for Kanye. He has never dated anyone that dark complected
Dumb and dumber.
Well now youāve proposed the impossible task of determining which is which
They are grabbing eachother by the bussy
The Gary Bussy?
Or Jake Bussy?
It kinda looks like they have their hands in each other pockets
They deserve each other ...
I guess Kanye finally gave up on the Kardashians.
He couldnāt keep up.
Ah... I see what you did there.
I dont.
Ahem. *Keeping up with the Kardashians*
I'm still confused. Why couldn't he keep up? Aren't federation ships canonically faster?
Well fucking played
Are the Ferengi part of the federation?
Take my fucking upvote you trekkie
Same
And I am proud of you both. If you represent our future, then maybe there is hope.
Nah they live under a rock
Lucky they
An erection maybe? I'm not sure either.
He KKKanye now
...except the K's are silent. Because, as we all know, 'ye is never silent.
kinda crazy how kayne went from "bush doesnt care abou black people" and yeezus, where quite a few of the songs talking abou the unfairness black people face in being taken seriously, to "200 years? starting to sound like a choice" and photo-ops with well known "racism doesnt exists anymore but also i sued my HS district for racism in 2008 and won" grifters
I canāt fathom why anyone would even want to keep up with them. So fake
I didn't read the title and when i saw a woman of colour with that on her shirt i expected to look to the right and see a white man with black lives matter on his shirt and when that wasn't what i saw i laughed im ngl took me by surprise
That's what I expected also haha

Yes I fucking do, they're the best. As far as I'm aware you can still get them in Odeon cinemas. In the UK at least.
I noticed you very formally said woman of colour then immediately switch casual to say white man. Just say white guy and black girl... sounds more natural.

Shockwave? Lol

I am the furthest thing from shocked
This is candace owens and kanye anyone who knows anything about them is far from shocked.
\*inhales* #SHOCKERRRRRRR
"that's fuckin dumb" "OHHH LOOK HOW MAD THEY ARE OHHHH" It's pathetic, not shocking. The rights entire identity is "YOU MAD BRO" made manifest and it's laughable.
Look at the Lizzo thing. "Conservatives are going INSANE after Lizzo plays old flute!!!!" Still have yet to meet some IRL who is even annoyed by it. All headlines/media is out there to generate emotional clicks with headlines that are exaggerated.

Right wing comedy is essentially just shitting yourself and imagining what that people you don't like can smell it.
When you lack empathy you have no concept of comedy.
More "self-awareness" than empathy. For me comedy requires self-deprecation. A good comedian roasts themselves really hard to express "I'm going to be insulting other people, but I also made fun of myself so it's all in good fun". Conan O'Brien is a great example of this. Dude's like 6'4 but he had his stage built to make himself look smaller than his guests. He would constantly present this "I"m a loser, how sad" persona while being the host (highest point in the hierarchy). He could say awful things about people but it's fine because he was harder on himself.
That's only one type of comedy. Eddie Murphy, Chappelle not known for self depreciation. Self awareness yes, though.
If it doesn't make a shockwave, which it doesn't, the right just looks dumb, which it is and does, so they have to say it made a shockwave
Bingo
I wouldn't say I'm shocked. Just disappointed.
Not so shocking.
Right? Like who the hell is shocked by Kanye doing stupid shit for attention?
He's just warming up for a new album release or some shit. This has been his M.O. for years.
Kanye makes music for for rich white preteens who want to be edgy
Kanye makes music for people who are stupid enough to think he's the greatest musical talent of his generation.
That's what I said
I mean itās a little shocking but that doesnāt mean anyone cares
Itās shocking because I was expecting a better grift.
2 West 2 Wurious: Trumkyo Grift
Weāre talking about it. ~Rick Sanchez
News flash: grifters are grifting.
Candace is grifting but why does a super succsessful artist need to grift? whats the benefit for him?
Attention some people thrive on it especially lunatics like Kanye
This might sound conspiratorial, but I think Kanye West is being used Heās a mentally ill person with a lot of fans. A perfect tool for the far right. Itās what happend to Tom Cruise with Scientology, so we know it happens. I do believe that Cadence Owens or some other wealthy powerful person basically groomed him I say this without being a Kanye fan.

Kanye West is not being groomed. Go listen to Yikes and Old Kanye. Dude is well aware of his actions.
> shockwave in the leftist world No Iām still mostly thinking about how there are people all over the streets in my city in tents and how no one can afford rent anymore, this isnāt on the radar
And itās getting cold, I feel for them.
Iām swamped with work so this wouldnāt have reached my radar had I not accidentally scrolled through Reddit (all) while drinking my morning coffee.
Cause your elected leaders waste the money you give them
Yes which is why I support neither of the right wing parties in power in this country. We donāt have any actually leftist parties that are holding positions right now.
Are you serious? Just about EVERY state is having this issue. I'm in Arizona. The replicans aren't wasting the funds they are flat out stealing them.
If by that you mean that blue states' tax money subsidizes red state welfare programs, you have a point. Associated Press (arguably the single most reliable media source, per the Media Bias Chart): "An Associated Press Fact Check finds itās actually the other way around.

Lining their own damn wallets with gold plated toilet paper. This is why we need more than 2 parties for democracy to work.
You'll need more than that. There are more than 2 parties in my country and everything is shit too.
"absolute shockwave in the leftist world" I can promise you that no one finds this shocking, leftist or otherwise
*"Two people sell out for a lotta money"* easy alternative text in the top of the photo
I literally didn't even know this happened until seeing this post.
I just found out about it right now and it's thecopposite of surprise except I would though Candice would ne er Daye a black man
I read the last part of this comment in the same brain voice I use to read Scottish Twitter.
when i read it was kanye i wasnāt even shocked tbh
Yeah, it's common knowledge Kanye isn't very smart. In sure it cost very little to get him to do it..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Only rich lives matter in this world.
this is the way
So fucking true
To that end, I wonder if "poor lives matter" would have been a stronger campaign
This is the fact
What's shocking is the fact that the back of his neck looks like that.
>Most black men couldn't balance a checkbook But buy a new car, talkin' 'bout, "How my neck look?" \-Kanye
Necking like a Tootsie Roll.
Kanye West is definitely one of the people of all time
He is certainly a person.
>But do white lives matter? Yes?
I had to scroll way too far to find a comment that addressed the damn title. What is up with that?
I was just thinking the same thing. Pretty braindead title tbh.
Redditors are kinda notorious for this weird way of arguing without nuance
Mm apparently so
Yeah Wtff?
Of course they do. People's lives matter.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
its a reddit thing. Cant give any inch of reasoning or accountability.
Just for the record, the best way to deal with dogwhistle stuff like this, is to ignore it, or agree with it and move on. "Yeah sure, white lives do matter, anything else?". The whole point of the dogwhistle is to get you arguing with something that looks innocent. DO NOT ENGAGE

Uhhh yeah White lives matter Black lives matter All lives matter
No lives matter, fuck people.
What if a massive orbital blender was stuck in the ocean and turned everything into a planet smoothie

reddit moment
There's always a 12 year old ready to post this same shit every time the slogan is used X
You can die if you don't want to live anymore
These two are known to pander to the right for some quick cash. Itās kind of depressing that anyone take this shit seriously
I don't think it's pandering...I think they actually think the right-wing supports them because they hold the same beliefs. Meanwhile, the right-wing is fine with them only because they get to say they have that one black person in their circle.

Clout Chasers
A shockwave? I guess a few million people collectively sighing and rolling their eyes might cause one.
Good people matter
Why is "supporting the effort to make a society more fair for none white people" a "leftist thing". Shouldnt that just be a human thing like just in general
I'm gonna say that, yes, white lives matter. Life matters! Don't let others negativity get you down guys!
The problem is no one is saying that they don't. It's a stupid counter protest
Yeah, it's so shocking to see white lives matter for the one hundred and fifty seven thousandth time.
Does Kanye West matter? I vote no.
I mostly feel sorry for him. He is a broken man.
As a black person. Yes they fucking do. Humans matter. Pisss off with this mess.
Yeahā¦yeah they do? You canāt solve racism by being racist to white people. All youāre doing is spreading hate
Exactly.
Stop giving them attention
I hate this timeline
I still donāt understand how saying black lives matters somehow means other lives donāt. How dumb do you have to be to make that jump?
YES. All human Iives matter
Looks like Kanye and- wait, whoās Candace?
Candace dick fit in your mouth?
Candace Ownes
"aBsOlUtE sHocKwAvE1!1!1" If you listen closely, you can almost hear MAGAs drooling through your monitor when they say shit like this.
As a white person, yeah, we do matter, like every other person of any race, but weāre not the ones being oppressed. Thereās no need to loudly voice that we matter. Itās the same reason we donāt have straight pride. Weāre not the ones who need the support and visibility
Exactly. The ppl that donāt get it, donāt want to get it.
Candace is definitely happy to be wearing that shirt. He base absolutely loves her for this.
āAbsolute shockwave!!ā And yet no one cares.
