Except Sherman isn’t making that argument to dismiss the movement entirely the way they have. Or to pretend that it isn’t an issue.

Exactly. The article is beating around the bush, but it’s saying “This is an argument used by racists,” and then straw-manning it. The truth is as you say, black culture doesn’t serve black people. And Mr Nutty accurately points out that this culture is a result of oppression... but this argument discards the agency…

i kind of agree! “black culture” did indeed develop in truly miserable conditions and in presence of systemic oppression. also, poverty clearly plays a part in violence! there is a very clear positive statistical correlation between the two. however, I don’t agree that violence is purely a result of capitalistic…

What a reach.

“It’s an argument found much more frequently in conservative than liberal political circles, where it’s often used as a polite way of saying that the disproportionate violence in black communities isn’t an outcome of America’s history of structural racism and its related ills, but of a unique black pathology.”

Why? Because he reproduced their comments in full and with a minimal amount of commentary about the content - with that commentary being more of a contextual summation (‘this argument is often found in a separate context; that argument came without prompting’) - and then ended by saying he’s glad athletes forwent…

Except those video games aren’t an official production of the United States government.

No, you’re not the only one noticing the pre-existing wang in those shorts.

“To be honest, I don’t much care about which part of the British Isles rightly may claim John Lennon’s ancestry. He mostly was a self-promoting misogynist checkbook activist who imagined no possessions from one of the most exclusive addresses in the history of planet earth, so whichever country wants him can have him”

Alot of pants were crapped that day.

For one, they’ve historically not been as concerned about their soldiers dying or killing civilians or being as ruthless as they need to be to achieve a goal. Second, they have no problem doing whatever it takes to get an ally on their side—aid, weapons, bribes, etc. Look at what China is doing in Africa, not to…

“Not our land, our equipment, our citizens, or our weapons. Not our business.”

Not our business

If we don’t, who will? Europe no longer has the will or militaries. That leaves Russia and China. Want them to dominate the Middle East?

I was just thinking about that. It looks like their goal is to strike fear into everyone who opposes them. But ultimately, it can only lead to their downfall, because every reasonable person is opposing them.

What is currently unfolding in Egypt should be the main focus for the US. We can’t allow this to continue and should help Egypt in ANY way possible to put down this growth of IS followers in the area. There is plenty of anger by many disparate tribes since the coup that removed the brotherhood from power and these…

I would normally say something about correlation not implying causation about now but if you crunch the numbers it seems you are correct here. It’s scientific theory now. Batshittery begets batshittery.

Yeah, I figured it out somehow and won it. I wonder if I’d be able to remember and do it today. I don’t remember having a ton of trouble with it. Actually the beginning flight part was the hardest for me for some reason.

This is the best Alien game ever made:

The only real immersion breaking moments in Isolation for me where the times the Alien would constantly pop in and out of the same shaft. OTHER THAN THAT? Best Alien game ever made and current top contender for what a new Alien movie should be like.
