13470719, Wonder what size White Lives Matter shirt she wears
Posted by navajo joe, Wed Oct-12-22 07:47 PM
She might could borrow one from Candace's in a pinch

It's only a matter of time

She could stay missing for all I care.
13470721, i checked who she was following and expected it to be right wing loons.
Posted by Reeq, Wed Oct-12-22 08:02 PM
but nope.

it was a buncha 'left wing' loons.

susan sarandon, russell brand, marianne williamson, aaron mate, oliver stone, tulsi gabbard, democracy now, the intercept, etc.

Then she “found” Jesus back in late May. Before that, don’t know.
13470733, it's even more interesting since her son's father is a Bronfman....

You post a lot of twitter threads

I wouldn't know what m.i.a. has been posting on twitter because I'm not on it

Your attempt to take the high road... while giving her free marketing...is an interesting turntable

Serious question, why do you follow loons?
13470741, youre the only one in here that mentioned her album.

I'm a big music fan
It's what brought me to this site
and yes, I still check for upcoming releases
... which is probably the only continuing thread that brings me back here...

To answer your question...you did.
You posted her tweet the day before her album release
I pointed it out

I'm really confused
You follow her on twitter, but didn't know she has an album coming out tomorrow
...and me pointing that out is free marketing...?

Bruh, maybe put the tweet machine down for awhile $.02

Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Oct-13-22 07:44 AM
All the super-radical folks in college have turned out two ways:

1. Either complete 180 and became radical the other way. I am thinking about a couple of "fuck these white devil hotep" types who have since got good jobs, gone to business school and now are ann ryan pull your yourself up by your bootstrap near republicans (I don't know any trump fans but close).

2. Or they become more disenfranchised and because they have no buy in into the system, have become more extreme and want to burn the whole system down. Like no decent job or even kids so they don't mind if it all descends into chaos.

Some folks are just drawn to extreme positions. We don't mind it as much when they are "on our side" but many are just as prone to switch on you when circumstances change.

but the conservatives that become dems are typically moderate...especially on social issues.

college educated romney/mccain republicans strengthening dem gains in the suburbs.

it prolly boils down to anti-establishment/government/institution sentiment in some way.

Especially the admission that you're so married (or "bought in") to an oppressive system that you've become an agent of its survival. You'll argue that you didn't say that, of course, but to believe that this system will become other than oppressive without some level of chaos is to lack a critical understanding of it's white supremacist framework.

Given what's already been said here, this isn't even a good joke.
The very post you're responding to quotes...
"white ppl have reason to believe the system aims to protect them"
Therefore, white people would get the injection feeling that it's safe.
Given the history of PoC (specifically Black ppl) regarding so-called medical aid, it's pretty naive to have the same trust.
I've already communicated this tho. White people tend to play dumb about racism tho, so you're not exactly surprising me here.

The statement you're referring to here is about OKP overall and this post. Hence it LITERALLY specifying that after I specifically gave my thoughts on MIA and PoC.

Man... this situation has really shown us who'll eat up whatever the powers that be tell us to eat up. I'm a huge skeptic, and even I'm surprised at some of the people who were manipulated by the most basic tactics.




>its literally only middle class/college educated black folks
>acting like the vaccine is a left/right issue. working class
>people are not acting like this.


Working class ppl definitely aren't. Reminds me of the plantation owner's right hand negro who was harder on them field negros than the master/mistress and pushed his ideas more fervently than the master did, himself. Gotta prove their worth.





13472343, I am actually more aligned with Brother Sun and Boogie on this.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Nov-01-22 02:21 PM
Like the idea that we shouldn't question vaccines or be suspicious of them is crazy talk given the history of this country and big pharma.

I am in a whole other argument with okpers arguing me down that the government can not be trusted with law enforcement (and points are being made) but then folks about face when it comes to trusting the government when it comes to rolling out a vaccine during a pandemic.

I think my position is consistent in that I don't think you can trust government/law enforcement but still then we need it so you have to manage it and have tremendous oversight.

Even with the vaccine I think there may be a big unknown with long term effects but its the best option we have at the moment. In a cost benefit analysis I believe its better to take on the UNKNOWN long term risks of vaccines versus the short term KNOWN risks of catching COVID.

I don't know why folks would put all their faith in a government/big business vaccine but don't think the government can handle without abuse putting cameras on subways.

How are folks bridging that inconsistency?

At least Brother Sun and Boogie are consistently don't trust the government for shit.

Anyway, I admit that I see very few serious knowledgable folks without an agenda questioning the vaccine and I do think there is a chilling effect because folks really can't handle nuanced positions. Like I think my position is only lightweight nuanced but am sure a RJCC-type won't be able to follow it or keep up.
