dingformung Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I had been banned for basically saying that the word n*gger is bad, but I didn't replace the "i"with a "*", so in the eyes of the mods I was using racist language. That's such an American mentality, basically the equivalent to the beep sounds in American media when somebody uses a bad word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yeah, that is a very strange thing. Whether you say "n-word" or say it in full, everyone knows the word you're referencing. (cue Louis CK bit.) That sort of censorship serves absolutely no purpose.... unless your audience is so young they wouldn't know wtf an n-word is.

But people of unpriviledged race suffer from these issues more. Their ancestors were slaves so the generations after them had it way harder because their parents had less access to education and wealth. It's a transgenerational trauma that still persists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drillkicker Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 The world's most significant changes are now determined by massively wealthy and unsustainable deceptive online companies that make 100% of their money by selling people's lives to a dark Masonic government that convolves entire civilizations overnight and people are somehow under the impression that the world's problems are caused by bad hair choices.

dingformung Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Well yes, on the long term trend we as humanity in many ways move into the right direction: Death by starvation has reduced significantly and - even if the news make it seem otherwise - violence world wide is decreasing. The way our economies work allowed this but at the same time drove us more and more towards an ecological crisis which we don't have the power and political will to stop. And ontop of that this positive long term trend is perturbed by major setbacks related to the global political right shift and a number of severe humanitarian crises and wars. This cancelling bullshit seems pretty meaningless compared to the real problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drillkicker Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 If humanity is moving in the right direction, I fail to see it. It seems to me that the old problems are just giving way to a cast of new ones that are no better, and maybe even worse. At least starvation encourages people to work together.

drillkicker Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 It depends on the person and the priorities they have. To someone like St. Seraphim of Sarov, the modern standard of living would be unthinkably oppressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Everybody just stick to their own culture okay? We don't want any cross pollination. That would be fucked up and weird. Whites just be whites, blacks be blacks, and whoever else do whatever it is you do. This is totally not a racist line of thinking. It's a well known fact people imitate the things they fear and despise. It's why I started making IDM music - to take it away from the Aphex Twins, and teh 'chre.
