American Eagle ran an ad based on eugenics just now

The leaders of MAGA, a.k.a. Proud Boys & The Oath Keepers

@SatanBurger It's not, but we have no choice if we want to win elections.

I don't believe that most Leftists are anti-white, but I do wish the Left called out anti-white racism when it appeared, and this is one of the reasons. It's similar to my take on any kind of bigotry. Don't talk about trans issues, talk about economics, but when someone actually is being transphobic, call them out. If we had that attitude on race, and we applied it equally, Trump would have lost in 2016.

@BohemianBabe Those are good points

@BohemianBabe See, the problem is, anti-white racism is viewed a lot of the time as punching up, because it kind of is. Like, I've experienced racism, but it was mostly just "Mexican fast food employee pretends I'm not standing there and then serves his Mexican buddies who come in after I walk in", or "DOC cells me up with a black guy who really doesn't want a white cellie". Whereas most of the stories I've heard from racial minorities experiencing racism have been things like "white woman calls the cops on innocent black kid who's just riding his bicycle in front of her house" or "white person gets celebrated by the alt right for calling a 5 year old kid a n*****" or "white kid takes a semi-automatic weapon to a BLM protest in the next state and gets pardoned for shooting protesters".

@AthrillatheHunt Yeah that's why people have an issue with it. It's a dog whistle.

@AthrillatheHunt @SatanBurger Fun fact, not to detract from the nasty implications of all this. There's also a mixed drink called a double entendre. The name of it is a double entendre as well.

@LordShadowfire oh wait haha I had to look that up, was curious

@tenente Okay, but here's the problem. You see it as just an ad for clothing, but it's another piece of a multimedia campaign to normalize white supremacy. It's only one small piece, and taken by itself, it can easily be dismissed as insignificant. But it's still a piece of a campaign.

@LordShadowfire yep, that's a problem.

@tenente What do you mean? I'm not mad that she makes big money. But they could have framed the commercial differently, we do have a rise in nazism, it's a bad time to play like that

@LordShadowfire Changing other people's quotes is dishonorable. You have brought great shame to your tribe and now must leave the village in shame.

@BohemianBabe I appreciate you taking my reply with a grain of salt. That's one thing I like about you, even when I think you're full of it.
