Racism and all the bad -isms

His farm is a great program.

My biggest problem with it is the media campaign against them which has led to the hatred and vitriol against them.Mainly pushed by the media outlets that they taken to court over lies.

Responsible media is a joke and they have been getting away with it for decades.

At a time of vulnerability with the Queen’s passing, it is damaging to the institution for such a high profile and important member (and arguably the most well liked of them) to voluntarily walk away from it. It is additionally damaging due to the reasons why he has seemingly done it. I think most assumed from a while back even before they said anything that if Harry chose to speak out it would be really damning. So I think it’s clear that powerful people with an interest in protecting the institution are using the power to poison people against them to limit the damage caused by whatever damning things H&M may subsequently reveal.

This is why the Clarkson piece was so comedically vitriolic by design. What you see over and over is this sort of dehumanizing language that comically exaggerates any valid criticism of them. We might all recognize it as that, but the impact of it when done over and over again to a wide audience is a critical mass of people developing a negative gut reaction to anything related to H&M. Once that happens, anything Harry or Meghan say will have little negative impact of the RF. It’s about creating a pavlovian response and even among people who dont care, and who consciously recognize what the press is doing, they too will be vulnerable to being affected by this coordinated character assassination’s.

I’m struggling to understand why you wouldn’t want @Klopptimist to like Stewart Lee.

Surely it would be better if Lee could make people with opposing views sympathetic to his, rather than just preaching to the choir.

Guess this sits in here. Mrs had a row today with breast/chest feeding person. Wasn’t her who was or wasn’t, just the concept. Mrs stance was “If you’re feeding a child, you’re a woman with breasts” END OF FUCKING STORY. God I love here even though I’ve seen “How to kill your wife” 12 times.

What?

A person was insisting that the correct term was chest feeding.

And @Mascot I believe the correct responses would be: I’m sorry or excuse me. Not what. Manners and all.

My daughter who is heavily pregnant was telling me that it is now pc to call it chest feeding in case you offend any trans people who haven’t got breasts. They might get upset.

Chestfeeding if you're trans or non-binary - NHS.

Sorry. I just didn’t know what on Earth you were on about.

But thanks for clarifying. Personally I wouldn’t argue with someone who is breast/chest feeding. They have a baby clamped to them chewing their nipple. They can call it whatever the fuck they want.

The NHS still mostly refers to it as breastfeeding, so I think we can all sleep safely about this latest tyranny. It’s only referred to as chestfeeding in the context of trans people.

What does a baby get fed when its being chest fed?

lets just call it boobs. Big boobs, small boobs, man boobs, it covers everything.

When Mrs Mascot was breastfeeding we referred to it as a trip to the busty buffet, and I can’t see any problems with that.

As far as I understand it, some people call others snowflakes and then get very upset about extremely trifling matters.
Why is that?

Extremely upset :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Yeah, you’ve got me crying here.

Just calling out utter pointless non-sensical bullshit.

As has been pointed out to you countless times before, just because it’s pointless to you in your position of privilege, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t mean the world to someone else.

But then again you’re just illustrating @Bekloppt’s point all the clearer.

Ah the old “It’s been pointed out to you so the pointer is obviously correct” line. I can point out to you that the earth is flat countless times. Doesn’t make me right.

If you’ve just given birth and you’re feeding a child and consider yourself a man then you have much bigger problems than how somebody refers to what you’re doing.

So why contribute to, even take pride in, making someone feel even smaller when they have something they’re dealing with?

I’d love to know if anybody is actually in this situation. Or just another case of the crazed left finding every single way somebody could be offended and getting governments to employ more people and write more policies to cover hypothetical situations at the cost of millions. I’m with Python on this one.

My opinion is that you take decisions based on the path of maximum kindness. If you can make a small change that means the world to someone, whilst causing very little impact to anyone else, you make that change.
