And it's very old within the US. Watch Gangs of NY and while the movie is fiction, notice the nativists against the immigrants. Power structures always try to hold onto their power.

(Top Republican denies echoing racist ‘replacement theory’ rhetoric in ads)

Quote:
Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the House Republican Conference chair, is pushing back on the criticism of her Facebook ads that featured rhetoric echoing the racist “replacement theory.” The conspiracy theory claims liberal politicians are trying to replace White people with non-White people to transform the political landscape. There is renewed scrutiny on Stefanik’s ads from last fall after a suspect who espoused the "replacement theory" killed and targeted Black people in a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, over the weekend.

Yep.

Despite being from the "superior race", alot of these shooters are not very powerful people. They are poor or best case middle class. And they are getting brainwashed and played by a Conservative power structure.
I mean, killing AAs in response to "the great replacement" makes no sense. But nothing about that conspiracy makes sense, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

It's been my experience that the people most into being the "master race" have a tendency to be mediocre at best examples.

And how does it make sense to have extreme fear about the white race becoming extinct? How could the superior "master race" be so fragile that the mere presence of non-white people can cause it to go extinct? Things that make you go, hmmmm.

In AA they describe a certain addict personality type as being "an egomaniac with an inferiority complex." That describes almost the entirety of the MAGA Republican party at this point -- starting with their orange avatar.

I watched it after you mentioned it last week. I've seen it a thousand times, that and The Aviator. I don't need much reason to watch them over, but I'll give you credit for this current peep.

What you posted above goes besides the unstated obvious that Bill's crew were Nativists born rightwise to this fine land (not counting the actual natives who didn't count as people to them. Bill would've called them heathens).

Aside: One of those Native flags that Bill was looking at in a later scene sold a couple years ago for 94K. Flags from that era are rarely whole and in good shape. No idea why they stylized the lettering like that, maybe to make it look odd enough that it would draw attention to the message. This is "the sweet souvenir" as Bill would call it.

Freudian as F***

It's maybe the most incredible gaffe of the year -- and that's saying something -- former President George W. Bush tried to take aim at Vladimir Putin, and it boomeranged right back on him.

W. was speaking at SMU's George W. Bush Institute when he groused about Putin's invasion of Ukraine ... he was trying to say the war was the brainchild of a tyrant who brazenly invaded a neighboring country without any justification. But, here's how it came out ... "Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process. The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq."

Well, he quickly corrected himself, saying "I mean of Ukraine," and then just shrugged.

The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder

(Jordan Peterson Suffers HUMILIATING Public Failure Of His Masculinity)

Quote:
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson thinks Sports Illustrated is authoritarian and trying to change the notion of beauty because plus-size model Yumi Nu was on the cover of their latest issue. The Majority Report crew discusses how anything that changes is authoritarian to people like Peterson. The crew also talks about how there are different standards of beauty throughout time and in different cultures with regards to Peterson’s “not beautiful” comments.

Classic W.

Also, it’s amazing how much his reputation has rehabilitated since 2008. People have such short memories.

he was initially elected because he was a guy "you could have a beer with." It seems that part of his personality is all that matters...ever.
