tbh Im sorta glad germans kinda know when or when not to take each other seriously. Americans lack this

I dont hate minorities. I hate modern society.

Stories like this one from @arstechnica are not unusual:

That's why Purism takes the digital supply chain so seriously. Read about our efforts to protect the digital supply chain here:

I may not have a lot of friends, hobbies outside of the nerdsphere or any romantic relationships. But life is good

Here are the things you are allowed to be proud about:
- sexuality (something you didnt have to earn)
- being a shade of brown (something you were born with)
- having a full pokemon dex (something you earned)

Things you arent allowed to be proud about:
- everything else

🤡

@xeno @igeljaeger Jokes aside, pride in your sexuality is retarded, specially for people trying to convince others that it's a normal thing, you're asking for people to shit on you if you start going on about it.

As for racial pride, every race has several examples of holding supremacy AND of being slaves or oppressed minority populations, so it's just as fair for any of them to be proud of their heritage.

I don't argue that some inbred hick cruising on his truck yelling about how much he hates niggers and how much better he is than them is pathetic, but a ghetto black cruising on his lowrider yelling "fuck whites black pride" is equally pathetic. Both of them are trying to justify and paint themselves better with no merit at all other than hate speech against another group, because they have nothing to actually be proud of, they're both scum. A normal person faced with someone shitting on their race however, has as much of a right to be proud of it and of their ancestors' achievement regardless of which race they belong to.

Basically, gay/straight/black/white/whatever pride is bullshit unless as a direct response to someone insulting you, only creates further segregation, and ends in nothing good. A single gay pride march does more to push neutral people towards siding against them than a thousand evangelical preachers could. It will always look like a "My group is better than your group" statement if paraded without direct provocation. That's what "straight pride" is about, it's a "fuck off, you're not better than us because you sleep with your own gender, shut up about it or we'll start doing the same to you" statement.

To a person that doesn't adhere to the ideology, gay/black/whatever pride looks just as hateful and cringey as you see the american white pride, a bunch of jerks that have no redeeming qualities trying to pretend they're better than everyone else. It's fair for straight people to start doing the same if they're tired of decades of having to put up with it.
