Well, see, looting is actually an economic strategy--as valid as any other--that has been utilized by various people across history as a means of not only overcoming oppression of the so-called rule of law, but also as a means of undermining the principle of property and thereby acquiring necessities for life. /academic gobbly-gook speak. Dammit, where is Sokal/Higgins* when I could actually use him... * This is a reference that no one may get. That's okay; I'm pleased with myself for making it, nonetheless. I get the Sokal reference. I've read the original paper and have a copy of his book "Fashionable Nonsense" (really interesting read, if you ever wanna check it out). Don't know who Higgins is, other than the dude from Magnum P.I.

The fact that SJWs don't realize that they're basically trying to re-institute a de-facto apartheid is both amusing and baffling to me. It's a stunning lack of awareness and the fact that the "anti-racism" crowd is actually pro-racist is an irony of epic proportions.

Just out of curiosity, who had college institutes separate but equal cafes on their 2020 bingo card?

Two LA Sheriff's deputies were ambushed on Saturday, shot in their car at close range while they were parked near a metro station. One is a mother with a young child. The deputies were rushed to the hospital where...more stuff happened. I invite everyone to google the story and see the various headlines, see which things are reported, how they're spun, and so forth by different media outlets. Here's a thread with a bunch of videos of the hospital scenes:

I'm starting to think that wokeness is a fractal property. Now matter how deep you go, there's always a deeper.

I want to be fair. Here's a vid currently traveling by outrage train through MAGA-land:
They're all bent out of shape because a woman--a "mom," of course--was ARRESTED AND TASED for not wearing a mask. But the fact of the matter is she was being a complete ass. The rules were clear: wear a mask and observe social distancing if you attend a school sports event (middle school, no less). She was asked to put on a mask, she refused. So she was asked to leave. Everyone else had a mask, after all. But she wouldn't leave, she became belligerent. Why? Because she's a complete ass. Zero sympathy for her, plenty for the people who had to deal with her bullshit.

I have been of the opinion for quite some time that Touré is a giant turd. Always happy to see confirmation:

What. The. Fuck. Is going on in the world. I invite someone--anyone--to make sense of the following: An article written by some OSU professor and a PHD student: Why America Needs College FootballIt's not very good, imo. In fact, it's downright stupid in places. But it's hardly the worst opinion piece ever written. Or so I thought. Apparently, it was actually a horrible, horrible piece that caused untold amounts of "hurt, sadness, frustration, fatigue, exhaustion and pain." It was so bad that the lead author--the prof--felt obliged to fully prostrate himself on the altar of racist shame: Why America Needs College Football -- Part 2

God, that's full-on batshit crazy cringe right there.
As Jon McWhorter has said before, if anyone actually felt "deep racial hurt" from something so innocuous as that article, they're either lying (for attention) or they need serious mental help.
