    Eh, it's still indicative of the ever growing narrative being pushed by far lefters that violence and hate is totally A-OK as long as it's directed at white men.

    Seriously, is there another racial/ethnic/gender group where it has become so acceptable to say you hate them?

    It's like, the basis of socio-political studies in universities now.
    Yeah, conservative media's been pushing this line since at least 1992 and I don't think it's any less of a distraction now than it was then. I mean, I'm sure you can find someone who's said they hate straight white men as a whole, but those comments don't matter. Similarly, I'm less worried about individual racists, misogynists, and homophobes than I am about structural racism, misogyny, and homophobia. On the other hand, structural anti-white racism, misandry, and heterophobia doesn't exist, in America or anywhere else. At different times in my life I've been considered white and I've been considered non-white based on where I was living, so I can say definitively: White privilege is amazing. It makes life so much easier when people think of you as a straight white male. So quit your complaining and enjoy that sweet white privilege while it lasts (which is probably going to be a very, very long time).

    There's no danger of that. Shit status may still be in question though.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Heard about the attack too. Didn't read anything about the shout, but President Macron says it was a terrorist attack.

    Been seeing some stuff about a revolt at an Apple factory in India. Workers defacing property, smashing cars, etc. over $7/month wages.

    Anyone know if this is true? It seems very hush hush.

    They pay them $7/month and still can't manage to keep up with paychecks.

    What the fuck America?! Am I watching a "banana republic" or what? Where's the National Guard or whatever the armored car driving guys with bazookas are? Why are bicycle cops defending the Capitol?

    Denied by the President.

    Speaker of the House just called the MD and VA Guard.

    Even Pence posted on Twitter for them to GTFO. Trump refuses.

    Trumo called for them to leave... While repeating that there was "massive election fraud". Typical.

    Politics aside, I find it very disconcerting the US capitol building can be so easily breached.

    I know some people who are excited that this will fragment the Republican Party in two, resulting in a third party. Welp, prepare for a lot of Democrat majority then, guys....
