Sarah Fitzpatrick reiterates that she stands by ‘every single word’ of her story and says the people she spoke to were ‘frightened’ by the FBI director’s alleged conduct creating a national security vulnerability
Rumdog Millionaire is about to FA and FO even more.
Using a racially-based pop-culture reference to make fun of someone seems pretty in line with racism to me. Just because it’s making fun of someone we don’t like seems little reason to discount it as racism.
This is like when someone put a statue of Trump with a micro penis in some park in New York. People loved it, but if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, there would be uproar. I hate Trump, but making fun of his body is no better when it’s him than it is when it’s someone else.
You literally make no sense. For this to be racist, there would need to be something racist about the comparison. Like say if the movie itself was racist against Indian people. It is not. The joke is literally playing with the title of a movie. There is no further implication whatsoever. It doesn’t make a judgement against him because he is Indian. It is pretty absurd to me that I need to explain this honestly. This is truly reaching to find something “racist” to feel superior about. Only problem is, it’s not there whatsoever. There is nothing racist about noticing a person’s ethnicity. Kinda mind boggling that people could be so blind to reality that they insist that’s a thing.
I think the divide on this issue has a lot of parallels with the paradox of tolerance.
In the eyes of many, punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency is permissible when dealing with high-profile professional peddlers of punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency.
I’m not exactly arguing in favor of it or trying to convince you, but I think that’s the angle when you’re dealing with a crowd that has contempt for the person but not for actual racial reasons.
I agree with your analysis. I hate Popper’s paradox of tolerance though. Not because I disagree with it but because of how it’s used by angry leftists to justify their own hatred. I do think fascists should be executed, but only the ones that truly would kill others for their ideology. Too many people on the left are fine with killing those that merely provide cover for the truly violent by agreeing with their views but not having the conviction to carry them out. ACAB people bother me this way. Patel is a piece of trash. But he’s a worthless piece of it. Let him drink himself to death. Let him be an example to his people.

Then you’re not listening, and I don’t need to respond.
Because nothing you could say would make it make sense
