  • Yeah, thank fuck that your legally and physically required safety equipment is functional otherwise you'd have to murder them for the sin of existing in the road. It's not your fault that we made our transportation infrastructure into the most dangerous game, but he should be extra glad that you're not gleeful about the murdering that you won't be doing to him, if you can help it.

  • ... if you expand into the energy market hoping to be an "electro-superpower", you have an incentive to stop new renewables from competitors in a high enough supply to create negative pricing. This isn't exciting phrasing, it's alarming.

    "I want to be king of this pile" phrasing should always be viewed with alarm

    Investment in green energy is good. Wanting to sell that energy as a form of power accumulation is bad.

    Is this supposed to be a selling point? Giving such freedom so as to make all of your choices meaningless?

  • Newsom is pathetic. Here's to a full 2028 primary where he finds out exactly how unwanted his politics are before he gets anywhere near that nomination.

  • I don't even identify as white. My DNA has more in common with North Africa than with the Anglo-Saxon groups that created the concept of "being white", so you should check your prejudices

    Sorry, can't let this go. This is the whitest fucking shit I've ever heard. Bro, non-white people don't fucking choose how to identify. They are identified and have to deal with how they're identified. The fact that you think you can choose to not identify with whiteness screams of the fact that you're absolutely steeped in it.

  • Especially if you're white and you just don't want to go bald cause "then you'll be old".

    My direct quote, it's interesting that that doesn't say what you said it does. I'm not saying this isn't a struggle for white people, silly. I'm saying that they have less to grapple with losing. Even if they have the same level of connection to community through their hair, losing that won't other them from an intrinsic part of their identity. That is a lesser loss, which was my point and the reason why I emphasized that.

    Completely ignoring the thousands of different ethnicities

    I'm not ignoring shit, dude. You asked what being white had to do with it, I gave a counter-example of someone who isn't white losing something deeper than a white person could face in the same situation. I don't need to explain that hair is a big part of many identities to demonstrate my point or cover every possible group that it could possibly apply to, just that it isn't the same for white people.

  • Brother. Comrade. Friend. I assumed you're white because you think that racism is a thing in the past. That it's an icky, immoral thing for history textbooks and not something that anyone deals with today. I assume you're white because you defend white people in a scenario where they're privileged and that privilege shields them from the reality that others face. I assume you're white because when I give an example of what this experience is like for a non-white community member, you immediately center whiteness in your rebuke. You assume that speaking of the white experience as what it is is somehow racism.

    Whiteness isn't some failing of race, it's a systemic knowledge gap where white people assume themselves the default race and they think they can easily project their experiences onto other communities. They don't know the struggles of other communities because they aren't forced to confront how racism impacts their experience. White privilege isn't something that gives them a leg up, it just means they don't have to grapple with racism in their day-to-day lives.

  • Cool. Have fun with your intentional ignorance. Your whiteness will undoubtedly shield you from any contradictory evidence if you don't actively fight against it. Cheers, mate!

  • Brother. As a white person, if you need a haircut you can go to any salon. Your hair isn't under constant scrutiny. Your default hairstyle isn't treated as something dirty or wrong. You don't experience othering or ostracization because of your hair.

    You, as an individual, can choose to have your hair be a connection to community. That can be a beautiful thing and losing that might be devastating to you, as an individual. A black person is thrust into community because of their hair because of systemic oppression. It's a struggle that brings everyone in that community together. You can't separate one from the other. Every black man who loses his hair loses this integral connection he has to his community.

    White people's connection to community through their hair is a choice, black people's connection to community through their hair is a survival tactic. That's why they're fundamentally different. You can choose, they have no choice but to do so.

  • Pretty sure plenty of white folks go to black barbers, and plenty of back folks go to white barbers.

    Yeah, and that shows your level of ignorance here. Cosmetology and barber schools don't teach about black hair types and difficulties. White is default in these places and black hair care is considered a "specialty" skill. A black person can't just walk into any barbershop. Well, they could but it's unlikely anyone knows how to help them.

    I have to be done here, but this is definitely a blind spot for you. Maybe look into it?

  • In black communities, hair care is community building. By going bald, you lose or limit access to the community created in the barber's chair. White people don't have this, so losing your hair is just about vanity, not a loss or reduction of identity.

  • Nah, man. We got a fucked up propaganda machine that promotes billionaire talking points to basically every American. We have a political system that's basically "well, we need to have a king, but he should be elected", there's no actual way to get the motherfucker out if he controls even a large minority in one chamber of the legislature, and the person who ran against him saw all of the people drowning from higher costs of living and basically said "we're on the right track, don't listen to the guy who says he'll help you, he's lying and dangerous" without actually offering to fucking help any one.

    Plus, we have enough politically disengaged white people in this country that "things were interesting when Trump was president" was a selling point to them.

    ... maybe it is a humiliation thing...
