    Elections All but one Top Political Leader in the UK and Ireland are (part) South Asian or Black

    I'm kind of alone on this one but this is proof that, in general, racism/xenophobia is worse in Europe than in the US. Of course American conservatives care about race, but they tolerate a few nonwhites as long as they're touting right wing political points. In fact, they love nonwhite...

    Unpopular opinion: 2nd half of Tarantino's career is better than the first half

    Agree 100% The 2000s were pretty bad for him with the Kill Bill movies and Death Proof, but then he hit it out of the park with Inglorious. To me, that's his #2 best film after Pulp.

    Economy Wake up babe! The new right-wing mask-off moment just dropped! "Make the plebes toil away until they die!"

    That LBJ quote and overall notion has been pretty insightful for decades now. But it's even more jarring in the last few years when the exact people to whom that quote applies the most (working class, rural, non-college educated white males) are actually, literally suffering. Case and Deaton...

    Economy Wake up babe! The new right-wing mask-off moment just dropped! "Make the plebes toil away until they die!"

    LOL To be fair to conservative voters, a good number of them support left/liberal/pro-working class economic policies like higher wages, greater taxation of the wealthy, greater worker voice in decision making, etc. They just can't get past tribalism and image. "The libs" might have good ideas...

    Alonsgoat eliminating West Ham and then Liverpool before taking over Klopp's job over the summer would be pretty poetic

    International Haiti has collapsed into Cannibalism. Nayib Bukele says he can fix it

    The US was a slave society for 60 years longer than Haiti was. But yeah, the odds were against them because of the way they started. However, the constant interventions from France and the US are major contributors to its present state. No, it was never going to be Switzerland but it could have...

    You've already won, m8 You've taken a team that probably has 5-10 times your wage bill to extra time, in their own stadium. Even if you lose, no one's faulting you.

    Social Do you realize your ancestors were black?

    Ah, right wingers and their room temperature IQ. If you read closely, I'm not taking Greeks and Romans' comments about Germanics as "proof that they were less intelligent," but rather as proof that ALL weather-based theories about the intelligence, work ethic, are stupid, whether they're made...

    Social Do you realize your ancestors were black?

    It's a bullshit theory for a ton of reasons. For one, it ignores the rest of the planet and pretends that the only place on Earth that has cold and warm climates is Europe. If you apply this cold/warm weather thing to, say, Asia, warm weather groups come out on top again. India, China, and...

    Sherfront never ceases to amaze. St. Domingue was a prosperous society... never mind that 93% of the population were slaves

    Social Do you realize your ancestors were black?

    Definitely. In fact, a lot of writers from the Mediterranean civilizations remarked on how decidedly unintelligent northern Europeans were. Big in stature, courageous in battle, but dumb as shit. Weather-based generalizations about culture just don't add up. Unless you're talking extreme...

    Social Do you realize your ancestors were black?

    Its far northern and western parts aren't, but Chinese civilization have had their population centers around its current eastern and southern parts, which are pretty mild. Here's Shanghai's climate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai#Climate

    Social Do you realize your ancestors were black?

    Exactly. There's this whole mythology popular with white nationalists and far righties about how the cold, dark weather of northern Europe made people from there more industrious, smarter, more inventive, etc., and warm weather made people there (aka, nonwhites) the opposite. But Germany and...
