“For every African Animist bought by a European Christian, there was usually a Arab Muslim broker who did the selling and an African Animist King who captured the slave in tribal warfare. The indigenous tribes of North America not only enslaved each other as spoils of tribal war, but also bought and held African slaves from Europeans.”

And this…[Read more]

Hey Unseen: Help a brother out here:

Can I refer to the 1619 project for history of slavery? What? Too Woke.It’s been explained to me that the words Slave and Plantation are no longer acceptable and enslaved person and slave labor camp should be used instead. Slave can be used as an adjective but not a noun.

Is the word Holocaust still…[Read more]

Unseen: Touche! You’ve convinced me, I’m WOKE. Better to keep my mouth shut and just let others speak for me.

Exhausted with this shit. But you do make some salient points and I have to give it to you. Thanks for the lesson.

Probably because narcissists don’t think about consequences when they are sure they are warriors for what’s right and just. They also presume people who don’t agree with their dogma to be lesser beings one need not take account of.

Wow! How to unpack that?

Is it narcissistic to want to be treated equally?

Is it narcissistic to want to be able…[Read more]

“Liberals practically handed them the keys. So busy focusing on superficial suppression and political correctness that millions of people are looking for an authoritarian to come out and center it all. ”

Yeah, must be so easy for them, despite having a Governor on their side, what with the State Representatives and State Senate majority’s all…[Read more]

So standing up for yourself and others because people are homophobes, racist, and intolerant is no longer acceptable? Speaking out about abuse is akin to being “Soft?” If we believe that than this is the most intolerant group of free thinkers I’ve ever come across. Or is being intolerant of others is that a prerequisite for free thinking and I…[Read more]

“It’s laughable, but this is the sort of shyte extreme wokeism can lead to. I was called four eyes for wearing glasses, fatso because…well, you can guess, and yet I survived and I’m here today generally unscarred by the experience.”

Different times I guess. Maybe our social skills were a lot more developed. Looking at my 34 year son, who works…[Read more]

@Davis:

“Woke has become a snarl word, used by those who resist change to old structures that give an unfair advantage to certain people and keep us from giving the respect and equality to all…”

Thank you. I needed someone to explain this to me like I was 10. Have been walking around doing my lawn, cutting the hedges, and power washing my…[Read more]

@ Unseen: “The destruction of the female lead in the name of “strong female character” wokeism.”

Yeah but, I don’t see you as a reincarnated Roger Ebert. And even if I did I love watching what I like. Goes right along with that whole live and let live mantra I apply to everyone.

I enjoy STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS (Superhero’s) Grew up col…[Read more]

Damn! You guys are rough (LOL).

I liked Captain Marvel! Brie Larson is so easy on the eyes! And as powerful as she was in that movie the writers made sure Thanos kicked her ass in the last installment of the Avengers. (is my geek showing?)

Jessica Chastain in Zero Dark Thirty. Loved her performance. Was that Woke? I don’t fucking know (LoL) I’m…[Read more]

Can you guys give some examples of WOKE movies? I’m having a hard time even with the definition to the word WOKE.

Thanks

I don’t see it. The Muslim assimilation into American society.

My experience has been that they tend to associate only with others in their tribe. Talk to most New York City Muslim cabby’s and they’ll tell you that they have college degrees but find it hard to find jobs in their chosen fields.

I’ve had full on conversations where we pull ov…[Read more]

The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that prohibits all use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of cluster munitions, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunitions (“bomblets”) over an area. Additionally, the convention establishes a framework to support victim assistance, clearance of contaminated…[Read more]

Unseen: Anyway, you didn’t supply an adequate answer to why Sarin nerve gas* wouldn’t be better than cluster munitions. More effective on the battlefield and once it’s done it’s done. No lingering after effects killing Ukrainian children.
* BTW, I’ve changed over to Sarin because I discovered that mustard gas is only an irritant and only kills at…[Read more]

Unseen said: the reasons about 150 nations regard their use as criminal are just dumb? And if effectiveness is to be the overriding standard for the use of weapons, hell, why not mustard gas, whose effect on the civilian population years and decades into the future would be much smaller?

Point taken. You missed the entire exercise though. Over…[Read more]

Cluster Munitions. Lets take a look at this shit.

The M483 artillery shell and the longer range M864. These are Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions shells, DPICM’s or cluster munitions.

Condemn by over 100 nations. Reason being that, like land mines, unexploded “bomblets” delivered by such artillery can hang around for months and…[Read more]

Eco said: “That day is here every day for a lot of us who deal with mean streets, such as myself, who has been chased down on the road twice in a lifetime, got my car destroyed by a hit-and-run driver, assaulted at work thrice and threatened numerous times, and most recently has had to deal with two attempts at cutting off and looting my catalytic…[Read more]

I think it’s necessary. I also think it’s abused and I strongly feel that it’s used as a weapon by the powers that be. Think about the island territories of the US and Native American communities. Keep the people at the government teet and they won’t make trouble for fear of having their only form of income removed. I think it’s used to control.…[Read more]
