Inferno Dive Dragoon posted...If you or anyone else thinks that there isn't some legit and widespread anti-white sentiment going around (especially towards lower class ones), to the extent that there are other people literally wishing suffering and death on me to my face because of my race, then you're either fucking dense, or you're secretly a supporter of that mindset (so of course you're going to downplay/ignore it). Can't say I know anything about Little Rock's political climate or racial composition, so for all I know it's not possible to run into that kind of mentality over there. What I do know is the area I live in and the areas I pass through have their fair share of racists, whether their targets are white, black or so on. It's why I hold such a massive revilement for libs/cons & Clinton/Trump supporters alike, because I've seen how bigoted and hostile both sides of the aisle can be depending on who I have the misfortune of crossing paths with. Incidentally, it makes me all the more assured that I'm right for wanting to stay indoors all the time (living in Texas or otherwise), nothing but assholes out there in the world and unlike here, I can't just put them on my ignore list. --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne!

Inferno Dive Dragoon posted...Quite the contrary actually, I have been quite often told that I deserve to suffer and get nothing because somehow that's "payback" or "justice" for me being born white. Usually middle class, wannabe-aristocratic fucktwits (IE: yuppies). Naturally the majority of them are white themselves. At first it was just limited to online which was simple enough to dismiss, but then it started cropping up in real life too, and then the amount of them screeching online reached deafening proportions that can't be easily ignored. Things reached a feverish pitch especially during the 2016 election, where I've literally been stopped on the street by college kids and interrogated about who I was voting for and then having them subsequently lose their shit/pile on the insults and mockery when they heard my answer. (Which was "no one" because I didn't like Clinton or Trump. Seriously, what good are corporate pigs to a commoner?) Folks like that went downright nuclear after the election results came in, like, to the point I try as hard as possible to avoid the Montgomery/Kingwood/North Harris areas now because I've heard of small pockets of Antifa-like groups near the college campus zones even nearly a year later. I have a pale complexion, Southern accent, and a mostly-buzzed off hair cut (because it gets hot in Texas and I'm balding anyway). Last thing I need or want is some middle class dipshit fucker upgrading from "white privilege" accusations to "white supremacist" ones and to go from throwing insults to throwing punches. For fuck's sake, there's people who genuinely believe that any white people who lost something during Harvey "deserved it" because they're white and because Trump is President, even though as far as I know, the overall southeast portion of Texas predominantly voted for Clinton (especially Houston, the place that got wrecked the hardest). If you or anyone else thinks that there isn't some legit and widespread anti-white sentiment going around (especially towards lower class ones), to the extent that there are other people literally wishing suffering and death on me to my face because of my race, then you're either fucking dense, or you're secretly a supporter of that mindset (so of course you're going to downplay/ignore it). --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne!

Admittedly, not to the extent that I want humanity outright wiped out, but rather it's the reason I avoid social interaction. I'm capable of basic, if cold, courtesy and respect and that's about it. There just isn't anybody out there that could be trustworthy or tolerable enough that I would ever count them as a friend or beyond (even my own family ended up being a regrettably mixed bag), and I rightly assume no one would want to deal with me either for various reasons, so it works out that neither party wants to hang around each other any longer than absolutely necessary. --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne!

And to answer the question of whether or not I've viewed any leaks, the answer is definitely no. 1. It would legit feel like a scummy/hypocritical thing to do given how I feel about such things being leaked in the first place. 2. There's already plenty of other people *willingly* putting their naked bodies out there that scrambling for leaks just comes off as obsessively pathetic. 3. About 99% of said leaks are of people I wouldn't want to see naked anyway, so there's virtually no appeal for me regardless. --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne! Les aristocrates on les pendra! |

Topic | Hmm, now I'm wondering just how many statues and memorials are at risk overall. |
Inferno Dive Dragoon 08/22/17 12:55:09 AM #1 | I'm aware that there have been calls to bring down certain ones already, and thus far those have been the only ones targeted, that's not my concern. Rather I'm speaking of situations where; 1. Historic individuals that go beyond the "acceptable threshold" after sudden and repeated re-evaluation and may be deemed inappropriate to memorialize further despite no previous attempts to have their icons removed. 2. For the well and truly harmless memorials, the risk of vandalism they may face by groups who feel somehow scorned and think they have a right to seek retribution. I know folks will say I'm just speaking of slippery slopes, but the former is still a possibility given that it ultimately takes very little for someone to be deemed beyond offensive by today's standards, and the latter might be more likely then we think depending on how vengeful and petty some groups are. I admit I have no real personal investment in such things, in the sense that I'm not going to be bothered by one statue or another being torn down regardless of the person it depicts, but I do recognize that others place a lot of significance in these things and what they represent as evident by the outcry over the Confederate ones, both for and against. To that end I'm not sure where it might actually end given the destructive, even violent, tempers that are flaring up right now and how seemingly easy it is for something to be damaged or gone completely overnight. --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne!

I'm well aware that Nazi are horrible, but that doesn't make other horrible groups more acceptable by default, the lack of scale and severity on their part just makes them "lesser evils" not "non-evils". It's the same reason I didn't bother to vote in the 2016 election, I was dealing with corporate cock-sucking villains either way and was going to personally lose no matter who won. When you're part of the lower class, you learn real quick that nobody is your friend on either side of the aisle, especially the increasingly radicalized extremists who will literally attack/kill you for wrong-think. I've had to deal with SJWs and the KKK alike giving me shit because I don't subscribe to their notions of what constitutes an inferior or superior race. Likewise, I don't care about Confederate statues being torn down, in the sense that I'm neither rallying to keep or remove them, but sure enough I've got people on the alt-right and ctrl-left hassling me about it.

I've already had run-ins with the KKK in particular at some points, because I'm white myself and they have this really nasty habit of thinking every other white person is eager to join up. Their subsequent reactions to my disgusted refusal have ranged anywhere from condescending pity over how "lost" or "ignorant" I am, to downright threats for being a "race traitor".
