So, The White Lotus shits all over white people, and wins a ton of Emmy awards.


Nah, there’s no agenda here.

I’m white and proud. Don’t let these assholes take that away from you.

reply

I'm white also but its important that as white people, we apologize for our white privilege that we have benefited from

reply

Lol why would anyone apologize for a privilege they have? White guilt is truly bizarre to me

reply

You forgot to add "/s" to your post to denote sarcasm.

reply

Thanks. I'll remember that next time. Funny thing is, the liberals will see nothing wrong with my post

reply

Of course not. They are in the woke cult; Where the alphabet people are the saints and nobles that must be glorified and celebrated everywhere all the time, slavery is the original sin that we must all constantly atone for, and white supremacy must be defeated at all cost, for it is the greatest threat to our civilization. And like a proper cult, if you are not pious enough (not virtue signaling enough), or you don't fully commit to every precept of woke orthodoxy, you will be excommunicated, and branded a heretic. And being a heretic is even worse than being an infidel (deplorable).

reply

No. Never apologize for any immutable characteristics, including skin color, you dope.

EDIT: Ah, I see you were being sarcastic. Poe's law.

Funny, you're a notorious racist on MC!

reply

You're not all bad. I totally agree with you here, that poster is massively prejudiced.

reply

White people aren't above criticism. Accept that.

reply

I agree. There are shitty people across the spectrum.

reply

Heavily weighted toward MAGA Republicans. ( or am I discriminating against all Republicans ) ;-)

reply

Both democrats and republicans have a nice % of scumbags in each group. If you think it’s only the other group then you are blind

reply

Not really true. Republicans are massive cheaters and liars. They use their cheating and lying to try to accuse social media of discriminating against them. They could not do that if both sides were equal. Yours is a false equivalency.

reply

What he said is correct. You are blind.

reply

It is true. Democrats are as bad as Republicans, they just pretend not to be.
And as for social media, did you not see Matt Taibbi's reporting on the Twitter files? How heavily the company was biased in favor of liberals, and how they censored conservatives?

reply

What true is that the only strategy you have is to make up a bunch of shit about Democrats
and the claim they are as bad as Republicans. You people are sick, and contagious.
Taibbi's crap on Twitter was just that, crap.
They censored Conservatives because Conservatives were toxic assholes online and they deserved it.

reply

You sound like an unhinged partisan hack. Free yourself from the pro-war, anti-worker, imperialist duopoly.
Here is the best analogy I've heard that explains the duopoly:
Imagine you're in a restaurant. You have a choice between two waiters one is a Republican and is a little bit uptight. The other is a Democrat and is friendly. But the food is the same regardless of which waiter you choose. It's all made by the same chef (corporate oligarchy) in the kitchen.

If you didn't know that you live in a corporate oligarchy, well, now you know.

reply

That is the BS you fake independents want to push on people,
that both sides are the same so the people should just forget about politics.
That is an extreme Right position.
It is true that money drives and pays for both parties, but there is a huge difference
between them. Still, for me it is not enough. The Republican party is more strict
adherence to following - they march in lockstep and do not question.
Democrats have their share of that, but there are others, the Progressives. There
are no real progressives or independents in the Republican party. McCain was a
radical for suggesting Obama was a human being who loved America, and it got him
the everlasting scorn or Republicans, enough that Trump could vilify him.
On the left a lot of people criticize Clinton and Obama. Biden oddly enough gets less
criticism. Biden is not Progressive enough for me, but he has done better than any
Republican. Listen to pathetic DeSantis on vaccines in Florida. Massive ignorance and
pandering to fools - fools the Republicans have no intention of representing, except just
to pretend that they care about those issues. Like abortion ... Republicans like Herschel
Walker love abortion and use it freely and openly when they get their girlfriend's pregnant.

You sound like an as owl.

reply

First of all I'm not a right winger. I'm a far left wing socialist. Second, I'm independent in the sense that I vote Green Party (A left wing party). Both parties are corrupt. It doesn't matter that one is less corrupt (arguable!) than the other. They both are beyond the pale. This is akin to saying that one person taking a school test scored a 42% and the other scored a 37%. Is there a difference? Well that depends on what you mean by a difference. When you say there is a difference you are speaking in a technical sense that 42-37 is 5. So there is a 5% difference. But the difference I'm talking about is whether either side passed the test. In that case the answer is an obvious NO. They both received an F, so in that sense they are no different.

Politics now is all burlesque. The parties have both sold you out years ago. You don't live in a democracy, you live in a corporate oligarchy, where your rights as a citizen no longer exist except as theater.
You are living in a country that has the largest surveillance apparatus in human history, functionally eliminating your privacy (Bush). A country where corporations control the digital public square and have imposed draconian censorship effectively circumventing your first amendment rights (Democrats). A country where habeas corpus and the right to due process has been abolished (Obama's NDAA). A country that locks up it's poor people where they are subjected to cruel and unusual punishment (Joe Biden's 1994 Crime bill).
Pretty much every principle in the constitution has been systematically violated. Given these facts, I thinks it's reasonable to conclude that this government is, without question, illegitimate. We live in a failed system.

Oh, and as for The Squad, they started out with huge potential. I knew of AOC a year before she became a congress woman. I know the person who founded the Justice Democrats; The organization she joined and the platform she ran on. We were all very excited. Fast forward 5 years, and she sold everyone out. She is now just a careerist. She betrayed her left wing base. She was literally sent there to stand up to Pelosi. The Justice Democrats were supposed to be a hostile takeover of the Democratic party by Progressives. In the end they all caved and submitted to the Dems. They vote in lockstep with the rest of them. The Squad is only progressive in their rhetoric not their actions. What's the point of not taking corporate money if you are just going to vote and support the people who do?
#FraudSquad

reply

So everything would stay the same if there was a bought and sold Republican in office in place of AOC? I think that's totally foolhardy and ignorant.

reply

No, there would be differences. There are different factions within the corporate oligarchy. The interests of these various factions are represented by the different parties. So if you have a democrat in office, it might be Big Tech and Big Pharma. If you have a Republican, it might be Oil companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil. But no matter which party it is, Goldman Sachs will always be represented. Unless you have more people like Bernie Sanders (Just with a backbone).

reply

And you people accuse others of being the sensitive snowflakes, lol. Too stupid to notice the irony

reply

I personnaly didn't see anything "anti white" in both seasons, however it is true that they could have added a black or arab couple or something like that; since there are of course also wealthy black lawyers, businessmen, university professors, politicians, athletes, executives, etc...

imagine having relatives of a famous black politician (Obama lol) or tv personality (Oprah) or athlete (Mike Tyson) at the White Lotus, that would be fun!

reply

Not all them were white. The sicilian family isn’t white. Dennis Hopper told me so.
