    Not too well paid here in southern Sweden but I don't wanna move because I have a dying mom and other issues.

    I've been employed at my current workplace for five years prior to that I was a horrible parasite and briefly a C programmer.

    No, what I wrote was that it follows that if one group being non-representative of society means they must be biased then it would follow that other groups non-representative of society must also be biased.

    Thank you.

    Also, as MAOHS said, condolences regarding your mother's situation.

    Well, okay. What I always cherished about Wordforge was precisely this: You could challenge the mods and get into a bar brawl with them without getting banned for it unless you,I dunno, called for 200 million Jews to be killed.

    And that seems to be in place.

    So this is a sincere answer.

    Of course groups are biased. All groups are biased. They'd be mad not to be. They're following class interests unless they are extreme "hopers" (and I count Karl Marx, converted Jew (who by the way hated Jews more than would be legally possible in this day and age) and upper-middle class parasite in that group; he certainly had nothing to gain from supporting the workers.)

    However, okay.

    What are you doing here?
    .
    Since you adressed me calmly I'd like to hear. Where are you going with this? The more I look at this the less I can see what point you are really trying to make, I dissected two of them but didn't post because...

    In all honesty I don't know what you mean. One could think that you put race as a same-level determinant for an individual as his class.

    What's the argument?

    I mean, it definitely has been in the US. In some decades, considerably more so. You ever see the SNL Black Jeopardy sketch with Tom Hanks as a MAGA hat-wearing redneck, and it turns out that he's the best white person to ever play the game because they basically share a culture via class? 65 years ago that probably would have gotten the producers hauled before HUAC as dangerous subversives, and would not have been found funny at all. Right now, questionable, but there's definitely a sizable portion of the population that'd like to make it so again, and are perfectly willing to sabotage their own economic interests as long as it keeps the "wrong" races down. That includes a few in Congress (though they're pretty much all rich, but some of their constituents are quite poor, but still elect them anyway). Don't fail to recognize tribalism playing out just because it's not two classes.

    Also, I love leftists tearing each other apart in holier-than-thou pissing purity contests. It's quite a highlight of not being one.

    Everyone is prone to doing these things. Sometimes it's a matter of pride, or just personal ethos. No one likes to be told they're not who they believe they are. There will always be a provocateur, too, to plant that seed of doubt if for not other reason than to ruin someone's day.

    Even zimmerman has kept himself out of jail while beating the stupid women who seem to want domestic abuse. Kyle will probably be another one of those because there is always some white trash fangirls who chase these guys down. The problem is that he is going to be able to sell artwork and ask for donations from people on the right who want to reward him for doing what they wish they could do. The only good news is it will probably cut into the money people like @Paladin spend on zimmerman original copies of artwork.

    @armalyte gives me some serious Anders Behring Breivik vibes.

    Heh. Sure. And you're a shitlib troll.

    The funny thing is though, you've made some posts in this thread that are sort of sane. Wouldn't have expected that of you last time we talked.

    Nah, I am Marxist-Leninist. I reject much of Mao because of Taoism bleeding into his dialectics. (Ever read "On Contradictions"?) At the same time I really like the CCP international politics and the three-worlds theory.

    However to get this back on track, I am happy that Rittenhouse got aquitted. I'm even happier about how much that has to sting for identity politics fake-left assholes. But it was the only sane verdict.

    Not about to shoot anyone, if that's what you mean? Though, of course, this society is coming crashing down, and at some point there has to be violence when it does.

    So you are a popular fascist. You are still a fascist authoritarian. The Nazis were leftists if you want to go that way so I use terms like fascist and individual rights rather than right and left as they seem to differ between who uses them. I would not define you as a leftist for your overwhelming authoritarian streak, but some people might. Am I socially liberal? Yes, I am for a lot of freedom as long as it is not hurting other people. I recognize people need to have some good protection against the state in legal terms. I do not think it is possible to have an armed populace that could take on the military anymore.

    The verdict corresponded to the laws in place. That does not mean those laws are good, that just means he did not violate what we had. He ran away and should not have been chased down.

    I do think we need a law that says if you travel with your gun to get in other people's faces to intimidate and threaten them you have committed a crime. Either that or ban guns so when a person does whip one out in public to intimidate and threaten others they are arrested.

    Please do not think that I find a 17 year old buying a gun so he can threaten protestors and then going out and doing that is legal behavior with a gun. If threatening protestors is the reason you want to be armed, then you do not need to be armed.

    Nor was he heading to Madison to protect businesses from frat boys running amok after a big football game.

    Something about this particular situation triggered him mightily. To the point of grabbing a gun and running in looking for an excuse to shoot someone.

    Hmmmm, I wonder what it could possibly have been?

    No, they weren't, and you lost me at that point. Go away. I won't even bother reading the rest of your uninformed, brainwashed bullshit.

    And just one simple piece of information, I am completely immune to shitlib name calling. So you call me a "fascist authoritarian"? Fine. Why would I care?

    I mean, of course there's tribalism?

    But the argument seems to be that George Floyd has more in common with Colin Powell than I do with this Polish immigrant girl working as a janitor, or this Kenyan black kid serving as an apprentice at my workplace. "Straight, white, men."

    Straight white men aren't a class. Straight white men have been living and dying in war and out of poverty everywhere since the start of civilization. Yes, of course you're statistically better off being a straight white man than being a black girl in Zimbabwe, but the question remains, is it the "black girlishness" that constitutes the real problem for her? What is the prime contradiction here?

    Something compact, easy to conceal, with enough stopping power to end a threat in a single shot if you can manage it. I don't know enough about gun manufacturers themselves to recommend anything specific, but definitely arm yourself.
