it's a shaky situation, one that can lead to pretty bad situations for, well, everyone but I don't think there's gonna be any kind of nuclear war. At least, that's my hope.
Well, I'm just saying that because when I hear "american", I don't just think "redneck". There's the other side of the medal.
Well, if I understand this article from the Atlantic correctly, you're just not picking up on Trump code. See, when you or I use terms like "the West" or "our civilization," we might be referring to constitutional democratic republics founded on Enlightenment classical liberalism, but that's not what Trump means. No, he's speaking in code to his white nationalist fascist neonazi fanbase, [citation needed] so what he really means by "the West" is "white Christian cisgender patriarchy." Therefore, if you or I use terms like "the West" or "our civilization," we're failing to check our privilege.
The same thing applies to "America" and "American." Or will, soon enough, if it doesn't already. You talk about the "actual American justice system" but those words are equivalent to "white supremacist justice system" and therefore a grotesque contradiction in terms. There is not nor has there ever been such a thing as American justice — just ask Colin Kaepernick. Now if you had said "global justice system" or "international," well, that would have been okay. Nobody makes more just decisions than an impartial unelected official in Brussels, thousands of miles from the impact of said decision. We all know what evil "local self-determination" is Breitspeak for.
It's like Charan said: Trump is the stereotypical American, where American means 1850s Virginian slave owner. He is everything about you that you're supposed to hate about yourself. So hate him, with faith that your good friends in the media will decipher his cleverly disguised wrongthink on your behalf. And don't let anything pesky like the actual meaning of words get in the way of your everlasting racial guilt.
I love it when Scrotie waxes sarcastic. =^[.]^=
Well, I guess I won the argument.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
