That dude is a bad ass

He had 'em in the first half

This is why it's really important for white, cis men to be allies.

If you are a white, cis man and you are inspired by this man, please speak up. Those of us that are minorities can only push the boulder so far and we need voices that Republican (and unfortunately some Democrat) politicians will hear.

And things like this do way more than just the immediate apparent impact. Every time a white cis guy speaks out like this, it helps to break down the lie that this bigoted way of thinking is the majority.

It also (hopefully) makes them consider why they only agreed with them before they said murdering women and children was bad. At least, we can hope that some are that self-aware.

The execution was 😙👌

I feel like a good portion of the audience was still confused at the end. And you know exactly which portion

It's like when you use your talking-to-pets voice to tell your dog he's an idiot

The portion that doesn't care about children with skin that isn't white.

That’s sort of the funny thing. They were disapproving of him, not because they understood he was making a caricature of them, but that he was saying the quiet part out loud.

This guy's absolute masterclass rhetoric trolling be like:

Wtf is that from? Is that Resident Alien?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From this show pretty sure. It's very hit and miss on the sketches for me, but the hits are worth sitting through the misses, goddamn hilarious.

Want to steal this man's look and do the same shit

“How dare you say out loud the exact thing that I’m thinking quietly.”

Is there a name for the trope where someone gets upset so they stop listening, even if you're right?

I think Conservative might be a better word for this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Ah, I agree.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Most humans, tbh.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's probably a German word for it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Gersprekenstufflewaffenspiel

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

because that doesn't make any sort of sense in german; it's nonsense ;)

ETA: "waffenspiel" is the only actually german part of that. and the translation for that is accurate (weapons' game), but also kinda nonsensical, especially without proper context.

the rest is just straight up not a word...

Narcissism.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 weeks ago
