Since you mention it:

In 1954, members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party shot 5 Congressmen during an immigration debate on the floor of the United States House of Representatives.

Jimmy Carter commuted their lifetime prison sentences in 1979. (1/8)

These convictions prompted a Puerto Rican nationalist bombing campaign.

Bill Clinton pardoned most of the perpetrators in 1999, but was rejected by Oscar Lopez Rivera. Rivera received a second pardon from Barack Obama and a personal performance of “Hamilton” in his honor. (2/8)

“Does anyone argue that India would be better off on British rule?”

Every Indian who emigrates to the West is implicitly admitting that they are better off under Western government, yes.

Liberal postcolonialists have a hard time squaring their nominal commitments to material wellbeing and democratic governance/rule of law with their support for nationalist movements that undermine both of these values in practice. Mostly, they just ignore the contradiction

Now that people are getting sentenced for peacefully protesting on January 6th, and the establishment is calling Trump’s promise to pardon them “an unprecedented danger to our democracy,” I decided to do some fact-checking…

A brief history of attacks on the US Capitol:

In 1954, members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party - which had previously attempted to assassinate Harry Truman - shot 5 congressmen during an immigration debate on the floor of the US House.

Jimmy Carter commuted their effective life sentences, releasing them in 1979

Normie friends decided to stream new Borat movie and it’s honestly a transcendent piece of art for the age. entire thing is unintentional self-parody of prog worldview. just endless paranoia, unearned condescension, and thinly suppressed rage. Literally whole plot is that Borat needs to deliver a gift to Trump so that he will recognize Kazakhstan as a fellow corrupt dictatorship. they created fake Disney animations complete with small penis joke about Melania getting married to Trump for his money

The guy who made Borat leveraging a career built on contemptuous race and class based mockery into demands for zero-tolerance censorship of ethnic humor was a far more incisive parody of western society than anything his attempts at comedy ever produced

It is time to repost my Borat 2 thread

Oliver Anthony is the first White affirmative action hire - rare actual example of a “mediocre white man” who has been “promoted for being white.” Like many affirmative action hires, he is ignorant of the reason for his own success and thinks it entitles him to be taken seriously Oliver Anthony insisting you treat his stilted rhyme about fat welfare queens as high poetry that can’t be reduced to some crude partisan message is same phenomenon as “Dr.” Jill Biden demanding you list her credential on the basis of a Michelle Obama-tier education school thesis

I took adderall and watched Oppenheimer in a Black movie theatre. For first 5 minutes there was usual commentary...movie opens with nuclear fireball dream sequence- "oh shiiiiii...das da bomb mang...das da BOMB" but it was so good even they eventually shut up. Here's my review: Oppenheimer is a deeply Straussian movie about the political persecution of great men under small-souled bureaucratic tyranny. It is also a deeply Christian movie about the solitary nature of martyrdom as contrasted with the pharisaical performance the masses imagine it to be

This movie is an incredible and unintentional self-parody. Notice how supposed "male dominated" real world actually involves committees of black clad HR women lecturing the colorful, overtly feminine Barbie on why she needs to dull herself down in order to affirm their self-image Meming Ken as a “longhoused” ubermensch self-insert for the frustrated right wing poster isn’t necessary or even particularly compelling as a subversive read of the movie imo. Interesting thing is instead how women see themselves and what normie feminism aspires to in the world

Embarrassing tweet…if National Review columnist (lol) thinks reciting platitudes is an argument he should at least have honesty to put it in all caps and offset with black clapping hands emoji like leftist NGO accounts repeating “trans women are women” or some other such dogma

Still, it’s worth addressing seriously not on merits of claim but as metapolitical illustration of why the American right always loses…

There are 3 possible explanations for racial disparity in social outcomes:

1. Innate differences
2. Cultural differences
3. Oppression

Any forum not subject to bureaucratic control will eventually become right-wing

This is the inverse of O’Sullivan’s law which famously states that “Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.” In conjunction, the two observations tell us something about what “left” and “right” really mean

We're so back.

Help me find my frens, etc. For every FOLLOW, i will post a rare screenshot from old twitter
