Clearly you're not up to date on tumblr newspeak.

Relevant, Dawkins' explanation of the sneaky-****er-theory (also addresses your question directly). Ofc, I am in no way qualified to have an informed opinion on the matter.

No ****, that's because the circumstances of Muslims is in no way comparable to that of gamers. Muslim's exist in a culture of islamophobia where they can be subject to state sanctioned harassment, detainment and murder. Articles demanding an "end to muslims" in such a culture would not be tongue-in-cheek or mere hyperbole but instead contribute to the actually existing violent status quo. You cannot simply replace one group with another and treat it as if the implications are exactly the same. That said, who the **** cares that some random websites wrote some melodramatic articles on 'gamers'. I've been playing games all my life and quite frankly couldn't give a ****. Until we live in a world where employers are not hiring gamers, people are running around murdering gamers or the state itself has "declared war on gamers" you are just another tumblr generation kiddie desperate to be "oppressed".

That persecution complex.

He typed on his computer.

Nope. What I saw (in my quick skim) was a man who is paler than me and has a whiter name than me and because of this I haphazardly assumed him to be white. Although I was facetious in my post, he does indeed have “white-passing privilege” however knowing America and his background, who knows, he probably has been subject to race based discrimination. Indeed. No, libertarians aren't a materially oppressed group.

Talking or even just writing about these things can help alleviate some degree of stress. Unfortunately (as I’m sure you’re aware) that’s probably the best you can get out of this post. You and your wife have evidently worked your arses off to stay afloat and there sure as hell isn’t some miracle answer to be found on an internet forum. Best I can say is to talk with your wife, let her know you’re by her side and stick it out. You have my absolute sympathies.

Har-dee-har, playing with fire man. I can out SJ speak you any day. Observe: White privilege is not determined by how one identifies but by how they're identified. Privilege is based on social relations and those who are of or are perceived as part of the privileged group will have privilege over those who are not. White-passing privilege is REAL White-passing privilege is REAL White-passing privilege is REAL Sincerely, a poc.

Yeah, don't know about your country but the book selling business is basically dead in mine. Major chains closed shop and all my local second-hand sellers seem to have disappeared over the past 2 years.

An affluent white-passing hispanic right-wing libertarian male feels discriminated against on the basis of his political beliefs. Better?

Reading now. A white male libertarian feels discriminated against. That's pretty funny.

So what exactly did Martin do?

Let those with the most social, political and economic power freely dominate the globe without restriction. When they form an organized structure to protect their privileges and combat the inevitable dissent we’ll simply not call it “the state.”

From what I know a large chunk of her audience is 12-14 y/o girls. World is ****ed up.

Better?

I dunno, "No guns on muh propertaiii!". Something like that.

Obligatory:

One seeks the abolition of authority, coercion and hierarchy, the other does not.

Sooo, regular anarchist or stupid silly-pants "anarcho-capitalist" ?

I'll take my cash now.

I suspect most of the discussion surrounding this out-of-context quote is being done by those with little historical knowledge of film theory at the time or Herzog's own beliefs.

I’ll expand on a point or topic if I feel it’s something worth expanding upon and if it is likely my expanding will achieve anything (as I have done on numerous occasions on this forum). The majority of the time I’m just prodding to see others views, pick faults in others positions or to otherwise just be an annoying little ****head (my interaction with these forums is limited to when I’m looking for a quick distraction). This particular instance was an example of me prodding to see where the OP was going with his train of argument. As I suspected it was no where good.
