So, like, in general people, especially those with Dunning-Kruger, misinterpret the concept of "be suspicious if everything always confirms your views" because it's an easy thing to fling back at someone who says it. It's not about being shocked and constantly finding things that overturn your worldview, that's equally bad. And this is black-and-white zero-sum thinking common of people who have proud stories of how they change their entire worldview every so often.

The point is when your wildest least likely theories are constantly being confirmed and you don't even think about how improbable it is that they are. This type of person thinks they're doing a very complex thinking with their theory but they're not, they're instead doing the simplest explanation possible. Flattening everything down, erasing all the details to maintain the predetermined explanation. You can unhinge such a person very simply but not with the question "why would Mossad do this?" but with "why would Mossad do this?" It will just be a handwave explanation where that must have only been what they could do. Why not do something 9/11 level? They have no more evidence for dismissing that but they'll immediately start coming up with ad hoc reasons why it wouldn't be possible.

The last tweet is no different. It still has to fit into the simplistic theory. It can't be a guy just mad at Jews, it can't be a jilted lover, etc. Everything has to drive the narrative forward, especially so the person never notices that the narrative isn't going forward except the story that they're spinning for themselves that they're uniquely privy to.

This kind of person is no different from the evangelical or other who thinks they know God's plan. Someone is still in control, now it's just the Zionists. They're omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc. Or maybe it's the Deep State. Or a chud conspiracy. Or Marxists. Or Joanne. Or whites. But rare is the person who acts as if these things are legitimately true, no, they know that would be crazy. Much better to simply tell others about the forbidden knowledge so they can see how smart you are. This wouldn't make you a target of the omnipresent conspiracy, no, there's unwritten rules they have to operate by. After all, you're the one writing the story.

Maybe it's recency bias, but I'm also getting the impression that people are more and more confident to stand behind these things with their full name out.

More than 90% of streaming shows created by white people, study shows

They left the next part of the headline off...

...feature non-white people in prominent roles.

Hunt, who co-founded the study, added: “When you shut the door on diversity, you shut out opportunities for more perspectives, collaboration, exploration and growth. Without vigilance and pressure, the industry will continue to invest less and less in these creators and stories to the detriment of their bottom line.”

Poor streaming companies.

“Even as diversity drops overall, we find that the stories are still there,” said co-author Nico Garcia, a doctoral candidate in cinema and media studies. “When there are good and relatable stories, people watch regardless of who plays the lead.”

Hunt, who co-founded the study, added: “When you shut the door on diversity, you shut out opportunities for more perspectives, collaboration, exploration and growth.

he also added, "more and more scriptwriters are abandoning their random sentence generators, which slams shut the heavy gate of diversity of sentence construction, shamefully preventing us from experiencing such explorative concepts as 'donkey but nor and was father by luncheon offer toes.'"

As much as I hate magic grandad that is a fake account and he made his name talking on behalf of IRA hunger strikers anyway so it’s no surprise he’s in for them

"[redacted] want you and me dead or in prison.

The "high road" you crave ends with being lined up in front of a slit trench on your knees, facing away from your murderer."

Far-right X loser cosplaying as a roman philosopher or trans-rights activist?

Woman recognised as ‘first black Briton’ by BBC was actually white

A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with a Mediterranean complexion.

Now a new DNA analysis of the skeleton by scientists at the Natural History Museum has shown that the woman originated from southern England and was white, with blonde hair and light eyes.

Doubt there was malicious intent but going from sub Saharan to whitest of white is pretty funny

A sign of good parody is that it's believable and it's not a stretch to imagine that coming from Jeremy Corbin.

Not to call you guys out, but the tweeter: Begging people to learn this is how the FBI has always operated and blaming Patel for any of this is letting the institution off the hook.  

Two of the biggest cases of the 1990's, the WTC and OKC bombings, you know how they caught who did it?
WTC: One of the dudes tried to get the refund back on the rental truck that blew up.
OKC: A random Oklahoma trooper pulled over McVeigh because he was speeding without a license plate. Inside his car was a piece of paper talking about how much TNT they needed to buy. (And IIRC, illegal weapons.)

FBI agents tried to report the 9/11 hijackers were taking flying lessons without bothering to learn how to land, a bunch of them were on watch lists, and the DC office never did anything with this information for like an entire year plus. The story about the USS Cole bombing is even more absurd, the FBI basically told the agents to stop investigating or else they'd have to arrest a bunch of terrorists and that was emotional labor.

i think what makes me increasingly angry about anti-white male sentiment is it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you live in a country where politics often features discussions about the ills of white men, that will increasingly force white men to the fringes

if people feel barred, gatekept or oppressed because of how mainstream society views white men, that ends up in severe grievance politics territory. We need to ask ourselves why a young man who grew up in Australia was radicalised here and it's never as simple as evil person

[HaughtyFrank]

Bit funny how this only seems to apply to Muslims though, no? Where are the radical Ukrainians shooting up Russian restaurants in Australia? Where are the Jews shooting up Muslims in America?

[benji]

Basically she's saying, like these people often do, that she doesn't take Muslims as seriously believing what they profess to believe. She needs anti-Islam sentiment to have no justification at all, so therefore Islam has to mean nothing at all. To anyone. Especially Muslims.

i think what makes me increasingly angry about anti-Gamer sentiment is it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you live in a country where politics often features discussions about the ills of Gamers, that will increasingly force Gamers to the fringes
