no wonder the us has massive obesity and cardiovascular related issues, i literally had to drink like 1.5 liters of water while watching this video bc the sweeteness was too much to bear 😅
What I got out of it was that just ignoring the fascists that go to speak on left-leaning college campuses doesn’t really work. They do this as a power move rather than to get noticed, and usually attack/intimidate minorities on campus one way or the other when they show up. “I’ll hurt them (minorities) in order to hurt you (white leftists/libs)”. He encourages everyone, especially white people, to be anti-racist and protest the hell out of these fascists because showing that you have power in numbers is a great way to respond to them and avoid minorities from getting hurt in the process.
I get the cause, I understand the motivation but… have we really arrive at the point where we have to give up on deradicalization of alt-right electorate?
I totally get a person of colour getting personally attacked by racism and responding with equal violence but a white dude policing racism in his closed circles is… weird
It still feels like a white dude getting offended on behalf of someone whom he doesn’t even understand all that well. And the race is just one example.
Imagine your white friend Bob tells that your behaviour upsets Kurdish Christians. Like how do you respond to that? Should you drop everything in your life and learn about Kurds and their traditions? And do that every time someone corrects your behaviour?
Can you provide a timestamp where violence is encouraged? I still have to watch this one but I’ve seen every other Alt-Right Playbook video, and encouraging violence would be a 180 from the previous videos.
What is weird about being anti-racist and pushing back against racism if one encounters it among people they know?

There’s none and video never said explicitly anything about committing violence.

Basically the video advocates for pushing back against injustices of the world - not only racism, but all of them; racism here is just an example. Here I’m trying to understand what does it imply and how it actually would look like in real world.
Many people might simply not know that they’re acting racist and if you push back against them at that random moment (let’s call it aggressive approach), it looks like you’re picking up on them.
They dig their heels to prove that there’s nothing wrong this and that joke.
At this point there’s nothing you can say to change their mind. Your best bet would be simply excluding them from your friend list as an act of being anti-racist.
On the other hand, if you talk to people on fair grounds, tell what you know about the subject without antagonising them (or maybe even without acknowledging their past mistakes), you’d get much easier time to get them to listen. Let’s call it diplomatic approach.
I think that diplomatic approach works much better in the society where people are close: like families and friends
Sinclair success is amazing and all but the hype train is overhyped. Most of currently living will get a chance to see their grand-grandkids but immortality? C’mon
Is it reasonably high quality? I'm thinking of getting one but have been scared that it's a big meme because I havent seen any longterm reviews. It seems like parts could fall off etc but I've never held one so I don't know.
Yes its a high quality product. I was also skeptical so i waited for 12th gen, as i had a friend that preordered one the minute they were anounced. Ive had mine for a bit less than a year, my friend closer to two, and neither of us have had any hardware issues.
Obviously theyre still a young company, so theres still some risk i guess. But its probably my favorite laptop ive had.
Its not all sunshine and rainbows obviously, there are a couple things that could be better. The speakers are meh, the screen is ok, but in my case these were not things i was worried about
Heard its better on windows, with the smaller battery i get around 7h from 90 to 0 on Gentoo with normal usage. Though ootb without any optimizations it was closer to 5h.
Shooting online while you're being cheered on. Ok, maybe not related, but it does remind me of this; I've heard veterans who came back to their society. They realise they've been told&living a lie, but others still can't see, breaks their heart. E.g. "winter soldier mike prysner 2008 - 10 min clip" on yt. #gem
