Banter 2021 Off-Topic Chat Thread - PART II

[Spazz Cat]

I can't believe I wrote that cause boy are we off topic now

Tis an off topic thread. Go bananas.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Oh well if you don't like racism instead of just taking a knee join the anti-lock down movement!
Thousands of different people with all different colours and religions fighting for equality and freedom.
Make a real difference!!!

 

[Spazz Cat]

And follow independent media, biggest examples being a proud Jew and a Sri Lankin- Australian.
Don't watch the white washed ABC with all their White Privilege.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Hehe, I'll see myself out.

 

[foodles05]

Why what.

Sorry I should have been more clear. I meant why is what BLM actually stands for racist?

Because it's gone so far the other way it's racist against white people. I've lost count of the amount of BLM supporter tweets that actually encourage violence against white people, and for advocating segregation. The very thing the whole civil rights movement was started to protest against. Apparently segregating white people is cool now though.

I've legit seen a tweet from a BLM supporter saying black people should kill whites. Twitter didn't even delete it. Imagine if a white person said the opposite. Twitter would explode.

So you determined the purpose of a movement by individual tweets?

It's been so hijacked it shares no resemblance to it's original intention. I'm not basing it on individual comments, but the whole narrative.

Corruption of BLM's core principles is evident

Revolution! Anarchy! Words that describe Antifa's co-opting of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Black Lives Matter movement has given up on its core values and objectives by letting Antifa control its so-called peaceful protests and demonstrations. In the course of abdicating its goals to Antifa, BLM has become a movement steeped in violence. Rioting, looting, arson, assaults on police, the integral role that assault weapons play in its protests are statements that white institutions are by definition racist and should be torn down. Justification of these devices as a form of reparations is ludicrous.
Not only has BLM lost its way, it has become a racist movement. Now BLM is decrying the integration of neighborhoods, saying white people should not be able to buy homes in traditionally black (segregated) parts of town. Integrated housing has long been a hallmark of the civil rights movement, but now integration is to be forbidden and Blacks should have complete autonomy in segregated communities. White-, Arab- and Asian-owned businesses, for example, should be expelled (forcibly) from Black areas of town. Anarchy is to prevail as police forces are abolished and no one is left to protect those who do not ascribe to BLM's purposes and aims. Murder and violent crimes will run rampant throughout cities, especially in predominantly Black neighborhoods.

The look on the left ones face is rather funny.

Haha yeah. He normally smiles a bit more, he's a very gentle pup.

This is your evidence a right wing opinion piece hahahahahahhahahahah!!!. I think you probably need to show me where core people at the centre of the movement encourage, direct or even command people involved to engage in the behaviour the article references to suggest your can speak on behalf of said movement. In fact the "evidence" this opinion piece presents is laughable. It goes a little like this "this is what I say BLM believes in and stands for and those things are terrible so BLM is terrible. I mean it wouldn't pass year ten critical literature let alone a basic decently constructed argument with any journalistic integrity.

Come on please stop looking for idiot opinion pieces with no integrity that represent your confirmation bias.

A real smart bloke who'd probably know more than any of us once said,
"The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists"
Was bang on there.

What does it stand for? I know what the letters stand for but what are they actually doing?
Not being a smart arse. I just don't know.
If I look since it's started in America, more black people are going to jail than ever, more crime in black neighborhoods, higher wealth inequality and you look at churches and they're actually segregating due to black people having a low vax rate.
Seems like they would of been better off voting █████.
What positives are coming through from this?

A simple google search will show similar articles on leftist rags like the NY Times etc.

I follow this stuff pretty closely on US forums. But you do you.

If you think there is any integrity left in the BLM organization I have a bridge to sell you. The leaders have used the cause to pad their own bank accounts.

And as I said, the whole BLM cause has been hijacked by people now using it for their own advantage. It matters little what the original cause was, because it no longer matters.

I get you don't like me, but don't just argue against me because of it, rather than actually using facts.

Enjoy! Was looking a tad brown the other day though.

Omg.

Just got home

Exhausted. But good.

Looks like it was a good day to be at the beach and miss all this shit ^^^^

Altona. YES. Near the pier- couldnt get a ****ing park near it at 10.30am. Like **** off all you campaigners and go to work.


We doubled back and parked on the street. Was much quieter. About.... idk 400m from the pier?

Gets soooo packed there. Especially around that little park.
Top atmosphere when heaps of people are there though.
Will probably spend Xmas there this year if it's still a pain in the arse to go interstate. It's a good vibe.

Can talk about crypto if you want? Shiba is bloody killing it

What? I have zero opinion of you as I don't know you and don't ever judge someone whose shoes I have not walked in. I haven't seen one fact you have presented (only opinions either yours or others) but maybe I am not smart enough to read between the lines. If that's the case please feel free to correct me.

Yeah should have known 10.30am was a tad late getting down there on a day like this. Anyway, dm it was still pretty easy to get a park- when we went back to the car about 2pm, heck- not a car park in sight. The whole esplanade

 

[Shell]

The only shit thing is we were too far away from the shops area. And I cbf'd walking to get drinks or food.


Next time I'll take an esky with drinks

It is simply a stand against racism. Do you honestly think that those things are down to BLM? Do you think that civil rights movements just achieved their successes straight away in the first couple of years? Are you familia with Ghandi or Mandela or ect ect ect ect?

Still not too late to get into XRP Shell. Wouldn't wait though. Ape in!!!!
