But, alas, I haven't seen a single picture of god yet Maybe pictures with words will prove helpful. Theres a diversity of thought even among protestors.

DieselDaisy Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) It is convenient to focus on Black Lives Matter the movement despite the movement being instigated by a distinct group/chapter in America so that both movement and group were founded together synonymous, but regardless, by labeling it so it allows one to laden all of the crimes onto ''the group'' whilst keeping ''the movement'' blemish free. Truthfully, there is a lot of homogeneity across the movement that is distinctly worrying such as a propensity for anarchic violence and race baiting, a detestation of the west's history and mores, espousal of (reverse) Apartheid and an affiliation with radical leftism (Bolshevism, anti-Zionism etc). I have black people, knowledgeable people, on my twitter timeline who've labelled Black Lives Matter ''a plague'' incidentally, which makes the usual rebuttals (''racist'') all the more comical - it seems a lot of black people are repelled by Black Lives Matter. The movement is actually sustained and supported by the same white middle class woke brigade who suffer from both BDS and TDS and handcuff themselves in butchers' shops and participate in cancel culture - the same smug sanctimonious studenty leftism we have seen a lot of recently, and that has infected the media and corporations. Pull up a lot of photos of this Black Lives Matter and they're more white than a Kiss concert haha.

Pull up a lot of photos of this Black Lives Matter and they're more white than a Kiss concert haha. they've caused enough damage and deaths to label them a criminal organisation. Doesn't matter if some of them are peacefull. movement and damage are directly linked. In law, if you belong to a factual assocation, and I believe we can label BLM as such, then any and each member is equally liable for the damage done in the name of the group. https://fraternallaw.com/newsletter2/liability-of-members-of-unincorporated-associations the group itself can not be held liable, but each and every member of the group can. Just like you close a pub where drugs and violence are rife, you need to suspend this group too. I think, they made their point clear by now. Back to their work, I say.

RussTCB Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 I've been keeping up on this thread every few days but haven't had a lot to add to the discourse. Last Friday, I brought the subject up while spinning records with friends. To my surprise, the general consensus was that when people make mistakes, they should be "cancelled". I made an attempt to argue for forgiveness and understanding in certain situations. I gave up eventually and let the others tire themselves out arguing lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unarguable that teenagers are not men. Im a millennial. You seem to be erroneously using the term Gen Z to describe a type of person, not a generation/age group. Youre opposed to texting now?? Well, at least you wanting to cancel texting finally connects your posts to this thread! What is it about texting that bothers you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my world if someone texted back a week later, it would be worse than if they just ghosted. Texting back a week later is like taking the time to tell someone you hate them! At least give them an auto reply brb gif to stave off neurosis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I hate it when people take ages to reply, but friends and family know about my phone aversion and that they should e-mail me if they want to get a response quickly. I do react to e-mail within a few hours most of the time. I'm not made for these times, I hate carrying a phone with me and people being able to reach me wherever I go, so I don't play along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My phone cost £25. It is a smartphone (internet, apps etc) and does everything expensive phones do. Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I fucking hate everything that has an "i-" in it's name, with a passion. the "i-" is token for everything wrong in this world. they even have "i" tv's, or smart tv's now. Well, they don't seem smart to me, but utterly stupid. In two years time, you'll need to replace your television because the updates eat up all the memory. I'm still rocking a CRT television, and I watch VHS movies on it. that's what I call a pleasant viewing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
