How comes this sentiment keeps appearing? With the same logic you could claim that the Maori in New Zealand are immigrants themselves, so they better shut up. Same with native Americans in the USA. When you extend "nation of immigrants" to events that happened hundreds, if not a thousand of years ago it's utterly meaningless. Not to mention that this sort of "immigration" in the past usually wasn't all that peaceful

They basically all believe there was a mythical "legitimate" point of settling they're solely allowed to grant to favorable groups.

Back when said group sent out these to unsettled lands:

Direct action against an arms supplier of Israel: sledgehammering a British police officer's back.

Some bloke who threw a bin at cops during one of the recent riots received 2 years for that. Why the hell do they think someone should get away with taking a sledgehammer to a cops back? Huge "but I thought those laws wouldn't apply to me" energy

Chaudhary, who is a transgender woman, told TorontoToday she stopped participating in World Naked Bike Ride Toronto and began hosting her own version in 2022 after the event no longer felt safe for herself and other members of the LGBTQ+ community.

She claimed the original event has been co-opted by straight, white, cis-gender men who do not reflect the “queer, trans, feminist, anti-racist and anti-colonial” politics that she and other LGBTQ+ organizers fought to instill when they first launched the event. 

“I want them replaced. I don’t want that ride to happen,” she said.

Which bike group do i chose?

“This is very much in opposition,” said LGTBQ+ activist Abuzar Chaudhary, who is organizing the alternative clothing-optional bike ride for queer, transgender and feminist people.

I'm a queer transgender woman (i.e. born male, but live as a woman), am mostly transient, not doing much with my life, read random anti-oppressive feministy stuff, and I'm learning animation, japanese rope bondage, film-making, etc. I bought a keyboard, maybe I'll learn to play it.... oh, and I almost forgot, I bought this dslr thingy and I guess I'm learning to take pictures.

By the way the same government is also arguing that 16 year olds should be allowed to vote.

Hard to make fun of the UK right now.  I mean, I can consume all the most degrading, violent porn I want as an adult but the US gov't won't let me use Fable as an adult to check code on an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process for financial modeling.  Am I supposed to do my job by hand and expose how much of a retard I am, America?  Is this what you want, America?  Do with me what you will, I kneel to no throne, and answer to no heaven.

  

The fact that the UK, of all governments, wants to let its citizens access this tells me it's ridiculous to take seriously the USG’s claim that the jailbreak is some grave security threat but retribution for Anthropic not playing ball by opening up the model to the Pentagon.  Lame

Sir he's actually IN the White House. Literally in the room with us. Your administration just banned Anthropic Mythos and Fable. How is this NOT insider trading

America’s top-selling stand-up comic has been busted rubbing shoulders with MAGA royalty at Donald Trump’s 80th birthday bash UFC fight.

Nate Bargatze, who has hosted Saturday Night Live twice, had largely escaped the limelight at the dizzying spectacle at the White House on Sunday until Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., uploaded a snap of the trio together on Instagram, with Vice President JD Vance in the background.
Bargatze, though, posted nothing to his 3.1 million Instagram followers. It was crickets over on X, too, with no mention of his weekend foray into the heart of MAGA.

Nate, we hardly knew you, now that we do, well? "Family friendly" humor with no bad words? How about very bad decisions? Should have stayed on the down low.

Wow, I am bummed because he seems like such a kind, gentle soul. But there is nobody who could attend that event at the White House and not realize they are demonstrating support for tRump. And there is no way to support tRump without being willing to ignore fundamental principals of caring and decency. Very disappointing, Nate. Thought you were one of the good guys.

Too bad. I used to really like Nate Bartgatze. His humor is kind and unpretentious, but when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.

Unlike my MAGA family who make a big dramatic show of boycotting things (throwing out their Keurig and “not buying Bud ever again” and them buying a new Keurig and more bud a couple weeks later). When

I boycott, I do it quietly and with purpose.  This is the only place Imwill say this.  I have a list. This guy is now on it.  And once on it, you’re never coming off.  I still refuse to buy any Goya products.  So this guy…dead to me. Jason Aldean was a tough one. One of his songs got me through that daily drive to radiation therapy for 32 days. I was sad to  delete his music from my play list. But. Bye buddy. Thanks for the help. Sorry you’re a garbage person.

I’ll never watch that magat, again! We all know who you really are now, Bartgatze. I hope that photo is worth trashing your career for! SNL will never have you back! We will never have you back. Maybe you can open for Donnie’s “rallies”….

Bargatze had already revealed himself to be a coward months ago; basically stating the only thing that mattered to him was not pissing anybody off over politics so as to maximize his revenue.  A true Trumper: transactional all the way.  And now this...

UnfortunateHad hopes for Nate. Delete delete delete.

Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated comedian Nate Bargatze only went to Donald Trump’s birthday cage match—and posed for a photo with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cheryl Hines—because UFC is his “favorite sport,” a source close to the comedian claimed to the Daily Beast on Monday.

The family-friendly comic—and, apparently, massive UFC fan—attended Trump’s birthday party along with MAGA-friendly comedians Tony Hinchcliffe and Shane Gillis, adding himself as one of the few recognizable faces at the event, which several A-listers reportedly declined to attend.

But according to the source, the appearance was “not political.”
...
During the event, one of the UFC fighters, 28-year-old Josh Hokit, shouted a vile insult about Michelle Obama in a bizarre outburst following his win over Derrick Lewis. “Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” he said in a post-match interview with Joe Rogan from the ring, which was met with both laughs and loud groans. CNN reported that Trump “appeared to show a half-smile.”

While Shane Gillis told TMZ he “didn’t love” Hokit’s comment, Bargatze has not shared any reaction to the incendiary moment.
...
Fans question whether Bargatze is truly oblivious to the implications of publicly cozying up to MAGA.

Wrote one on Reddit reacting to Bargatze’s appearance at the White House UFC event: “I sometimes wonder if some celebs have no idea about the amount of damage their reputation takes once they are in close proximity of Trump. It might not be immediate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses audiences in some places. There is no quicker way to torpedo your standing than sucking up to this administration.”

He can say it's not political, and maybe in his mind it isn't. Doesn't matter now, he just lost two-thirds of his fans.

No, sorry, we don't do that anymore. Everything is political and Republicans are an enormous reason why.

When you make choices, you are deciding to live with whatever consequences result from those choices.
