i always hated the dance ministry.
Am I to understand that

A group of dancers did an interpretive dance portray the brutal murder of two people by ice in front of the Kennedy center.
As protest.

I'd rather be a fully fledged human being free to express my humanity & partake in the fullness of human brotherhood than be white any day.

Embarassing and in aweful taste.

Imagine being murdered by a right wing death squad and the libs' responce is to recreate it in interperative dance. I would haunt their asses so hard if it were me.

It's the difference between "my tire is flat, guess I should change it" and "my tire is flat, gotta replace the whole car." The answer should be simple. You break the single service down into pieces so you can easily swap them when one no longer does the job properly.

but the issue is there SHOULDN'T be a single app that does everything and that everyone is on. That's how you run into these kind of situations. Discord replaced forums, voice chat services, and live text chat services with convenience and now they are showing why having swappable parts is best

Wish more people were taking the Discord problems seriously and were willing to actually do something about it. Everyone wants the convenience of a centralized platform even if it's going to cost them their identity. Even a lot of people open to alternatives are waiting until there's a consensus

When they set up their generous system they were 90+% white. & now thanks to discrimination their politicians want to restrict that system so ‘outsiders’ can’t benefit from it. Which sounds an awful lot like what the USA has done all along. Scandinavia is this gif but a region.

When the usual suspects extol Scandinavia & post longingly about their desire for the US to be more like Norway & Denmark, show them this.
Increidble story half Brazilian/half Norwegian ditches team norway after experiencing lots of racism to ski for Brasil and have more say over his training. Then wins gold in Italy.

White people like Clinton talking about migration is one of those things where they let you know how much of a white supremacist they are.
