We definitely need to burn down every “Cracker Barrel” restaurant... no matter what anyone says about the name’s origin, it doesn’t matter. It’s clearly part of the “systemic racism” perpetuated by white sis-gender men.

A new transcript has been leaked from Project Veritas, detailing the process the leadership went through to adopt a new name. The dialog below took place between the new Warlord and the crowd:
WARLORD: "Hey Ya'll! We need a new name. Nobody is taking us seriously. CHAZ sounds gay.... err.. I mean the 'happy' gay. Yeah, the 'happy' kind, and because we are so happy, we aren't seen as serious. We need to be serious."
CROWD: "Yeah! Serious! (some general mumbling about non-vegan substitutes in the background)"
WARLORD: "So, we need a new name. Something serious. I got it. How about 'Capital Region Assertive Protest'? We are assertive! We are a protest, not a riot.
CROWD: (mumbles)
LONE CROWD MEMBER: "Sir... ummm... maybe this isn't the right image either? Just a thought... ummm"
CROWD: (shuuuhes)
WARLORD: "This is a little hard. Who thought of CHAZ anyway?"
CROWD MEMBER: "It was Greg from Accounting."
WARLORD: "Greg, yeah, that makes sense. That dude is super gay, err I mean, happy. OK, so maybe that wasn't good either."
GREG FROM ACCOUNTING: "I'm right here. And I'm sooo sorry if I caused everyone so much trouble. I guess I'll just stay out of it from now on."
WARLORD: "Come on, Greg. We need you."
GREG FROM ACCOUNTING: "Yeah, whatevvs."
WARLORD: "Look, we have a lot of shakedoooo... errr.. I mean local contributions to the cause, and that money needs to be tracked."
GREG FROM ACCOUNTING: "Sure, sure. Assholes. How about 'Capital Uncontrolled Neutral Territory'?"
CROWD: (mumbles)
WARLORD: "Damn, that sounds pretty good."
LONE CROWD MEMBER: "Sir... ummm..."
CROWD: (shuuushes)
WARLORD: "I can make some serious raps from that name. That doesn't sound good to you?"
CROWD: (mumbles)
WARLORD: "I guess we won't go with that either. Something that really portrays peace like: 'Capital Hill Oppressed Proletariat'.
CROWD MEMBER: "Maybe 'Organized People' instead?"
CROWD MEMBER: "Or 'Proletariat'.. right comrade!?"
WARLORD: "I get it. I'm with yah, something more neutral though. Which is why I liked Neutral Territory. Damn good name. But how about 'Organized Protest'. Yeah, we are going to go out and tell everyone we are peaceful. Come to CHOP for Utopia".

What does this video say to you about U.S. news organizations?
by Wasanelder Once inthis video was somewhat revelatory to me.
i knew that fox was a coordinated news outlet but i had no idea it was so rigid.
that's the iron fist of the corporate agenda.

I’ve seen videos like this in the past, and it is pervasive across all networks.
STOP WATCHING “MAINSTREAM”
Any network that isn’t engaging in a long form format, with actual meaningful discussion, don’t bother.
You get more meaningful content directly from great thinkers through digital sources. It’s no wonder there is such a push to ban independent sources.

Covid19 "Suggestions" (aka rules)
by Huxley1979 inso a co just said in his talk yesterday that anyone that doesn't follow the branch's covid19 "suggestions" is disobedient and the type of person that won't survive armageddon.
didn't the letter say that each head of household would choose for himself how to apply the "suggestions"?.
the funny thing is there are other countries where none of these "suggestions" have been given..

“White Privilege”
by minimus inlately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!
i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.
in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

@millie:
I hear what you are saying, but I think you will still run into the same difficulty - mainly, you have to eventually define what you mean by 'privilege'. You begin by saying that 'privilege' is like 'power'. But that is still unclear.

@TD:
Yeah, that's what I mean. I would love for Harris to literally make a list of things that put Trump in that "existential threat" category, and then review them on stream with someone else as reasonable from the other side. It might be one of those Larry Elder/Dave Rubin moments.

@Simon,
I watched the Sam Harris podcast you linked a few pages back.
It is very well reasoned out. I have to admit, I haven’t really been following Sam Harris that much. But during the podcast he expressed his absolute disdain for Trump. When he said that he views a second Trump term as an “existential threat”, I went into a Sam Harris binge watch for a bit (haven’t posted on this thread because I’ve been listening to his podcasts). Normally Sam is well reasoned, but this threw me off a bit. So I started to go back in an attempt to get him to expand on his reasons why he thinks this strongly of Trump’s presidency. I just wanted to get somewhat of a list, devoid of “my side vs your side” sort-of-thing.
I have to admit, I couldn’t find it. Yeah, I found some podcasts where he griped about abandoning the Kurds. But in general, it’s more of a feeling of ‘the worst parts of America culture rolled into one man’. No real listing of what those worst parts are... just that he is utterly unsophisticated. Oh, and he really hated the tweeting.
It seems he’s really good when it comes to data. When he has raw data staring him the face, he can’t turn away. I respect that. But he seems to have a Trumped shaped emotional blind spot there. When someone worries about Trump turning authoritarian to the tune of Hitler, it implies a bit of TDS.
Do you know if he actually lists reasons for his view (Not appealing to some sort of elitism or emotion)?

Textbooks? Surely those books have definitions, don’t they?

@TD: I see. So you are saying even black people use the term incorrectly, mostly to mean “racism”. In a similar way men are “privileged” (or so 99% would say) because of sexism?

@TD: Ok, still trying to narrow it down.
We are starting to just list examples, but perhaps they might be helpful. You can already see the moves being made - you list an example, but counter examples immediately pop out. Statistics will soon be on the way.
So initially you said that white people are defensive around the term “white privilege” because we just don’t quite understand it, or use the term correctly. And yet, it can’t really be defined - except with the “you know it when you experience” it argument. And so we have no choice but to attempt to enumerate example experiences to help ‘get the feeling’ of it.
“Privilege” went to “preference” then to “extreme preference” to “prejudice”. I wonder, could it be heading toward a general “racism” at this point? And if that is the case, are you sure white people don’t understand what is implied by that term?
