>you care about media
>you get excited about movie trailers
>you are genuinely concerned about some controversial game or film promoting a cause you are for or against
this list is not conclusive, there are many more symptoms of autism than those listed here.

 All of this sweet donated cash is now going to Clinton's campaign. It's fucking hilarious. Some individuals spent thousands of dollars on this man.

Is anyone interested in having a discussion about ethnic identity as it relates to Europeans and European diaspora peoples?
I recently ran into some writings claiming that white southerners in the US form a distinct ethnic group, which has opened me up to maybe a more nuanced understanding of ethnicity and white identity.

I hope this fits in Serious because muh science Some of his assertions are a little questionable though- like Neanderthals having black skin. I get why you would WANT to suggest that, looking at gorillas, but IIRC European humans developed light skin in order to better absorb what sunlight could be gotten in cold Europe. If that is the case, I don't see why it wouldn't happen for neanderthals, too.

i'm having trouble seeing the point in continuation. i feel stuck and limited in a materialistic world i've been planted in. all advances seem horizontal and meaningless, there's no real point to anything. there is no truly higher state to aspire to, any and all attempts are shouted down as delusion and pretension. the highest aspirations allowed are to seek material and sensual pleasures. sexual and physical gratification has become god. to decry this and the role it plays in our lives is as heresy. how can you dislike freedom, you say? change the channel, change the channel if you don't like it. all the channels are the same shade of the same shit.
i hate it and I need to get away but there's nowhere to run. drugs and drink just make it worse.

Seems to me that it has become a snarl word in some circles. I'd like to know why.
I see a lot of accusations of anti-intellectualism, but there's not really anything wrong with that. Frankly, the intellectual class has failed the people of the western world. Pursuit of ideological goals and humanist utopian nonsense has led to the ruling classes of many liberal nations acting contrary to the interests of the native peoples. Why then, shouldn't the people criticize those who have been put in power supposedly to serve them?
I'm just not seeing the problem here from any perspective but that of a spooked out neoliberal.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/06/22/egyptian-mob-reportedly-burns-80-christian-homes-on-rumor-new-church.htmlAn angry crowd of Muslims reportedly looted and burned the homes of 80 Christian families in an Egyptian village Friday after rumors circulated that they wanted to build a church.
Christian media reported the violence taking place in the village of Qarayat al Bayda, near Alexandria, quoting witnesses who claimed police did little to protect them. The alleged violence began after noon prayers, when a throng of Muslims gathered in the front of a home being built, Mousa Zarif told International Christian Concern.
"They were chanting slogans against us,” Zarif said. “Among these slogans were, 'By no means shall there be a church here.'"
Egypt is roughly 85 percent Muslim and Coptic Christians have long faced persecution in the Arab nation. The village in which the attacks were reported to have occurred has no Christian churches, according to International Christian Concern.
The incident prompted renewed calls for the government in Cairo to do more to protect religious minorities.
Naim Aziz told Daily News Egypt the homes, a community center and other properties owned by Christians were destroyed. Police initially arrested Aziz and Zarif, according to reports. They also reportedly arrested six Muslims, who were quickly released, while holding the Christians on bail after charging them for praying and building without a permit.

 No longer shall the states of the South, bastions of Constitutionalism and freedom, as well has home of distinct cultures and ethnic heritages, be a slave to the whims of urban centers on the other side of the country. No longer will we bow to creeping centralization and judicial activism. We will be free and sovereign once again.

I'm a little bit annoyed with the common criticisms of Islam.
You hear a lot of criticisms citing the religion's violent texts and homophobic or misogynistic attitudes.
The thing is, these are kind of like me saying Islam is bad because they don't believe Christ is the messiah or that God is trinitarian. You're criticizing Islam from the perspective of another religio-ideology.
These criticisms get us nowhere because they don't matter in the context of Islam. If the religion is true, it doesn't matter that it's homophobic, because in Islam, god himself condemns honosexual acts. Your humanist worldview and the Islamic worldview do not intersect.
I think, if we are to criticize Islam, it would be most reasonable to criticize the religion within its own context, or to find a fully de-spooked position to speak from, even if we continue to hold to our personally preferred ideologies otherwise.

Faggots watching Sargon, Paul Joseph Autism, Milo, etc. Other groups do it besides the alt right, but these guys are the first to come to mind. TYT is a good example from the other end of the spectrum. Or the fedora side of youtube full of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins compilations.
What's up with this shit? I mean I used to do it too but it started to leave a sour taste in my mouth and I really wanted to understand where other people were coming from, so I stopped.
I want to understand this trend. Why do people watch hour long videos telling them things they already believe?
I doubt anyone has genuinely been converted to atheism from a Christopher Hitchens video, and I've never heard of an SJW abandoning xer previously held beliefs and joining team Milo after watching him act smug in some interview.
This phenomenon isn't JUST on youtube. People still watch shit like The Daily Show and John Oliver's shitspewing, although most of those people are at least dumb enough to find Oliver funny.
Even I sometimes find myself letting Gavin McInnes tell me shit I already know for ten minutes of my life.
What's the deal?

Let's talk about why we need a terror watchlist that actually functions and doesn't end up stranding US veterans and people with the same names as real terrorists abroad.

My priest shared this with the members of his parish, I think it was sent out to every parish in the OCA June 13, 2016
To the Venerable Hierarchs, Reverend Clergy, Monastics, and faithful of the Orthodox Church in America,
The hope of the Church is that all people should be saved and come to know the love of God. It is therefore heartbreaking to see the triumph of evil and destruction on this earth. We have witnessed yet another manifestation of the brokenness and division wrought by the evil one in the tragic shooting in Orlando, the worst mass murder in United States history.
While we should weep for the 50 victims and pray for the healing of the many wounded, our hearts and minds should not dwell on the motivations of the shooting (which remain under investigation) nor despair at the darkness of a humanity that would perpetrate such crimes (which will never disappear).
Rather we should focus on the hope that we have in the love of God, which overcomes the world, and ask ourselves whether or not we have done enough to overcome the brokenness in the world through our own Christian life. Have our hearts yearned for union with God as our Lord so fervently prayed in Sunday’s Gospel reading? (John 17:1-13) Have we quenched the fires of jealousy and anger in our families by preserving hope and sharing the peace of God which passes all understanding? Have we pierced through the walls of fear and condemnation in our world by pursuing love for our neighbor and love for our enemies?
All of us must take responsibility, not only for this most recent act of violence and destruction, but for all such acts in the world. But at the same time, we must remember that Christ Himself has destroyed corruption and the impulsive force of death by his life-bringing death (Saturday Matins, Tone 2). And so we can reflect, along with one Athonite Elder, on this hope: “Even if today some people terrorize the world with deadly attacks and ostentatious displays of butchery, the God-man remains without change the Almighty Lord of love and understanding. He is the ultimate solution to all our problems, however much our superficial view fails to recognize it” (Archimandrite Vasileios, Apropos of the Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Church, page 28).
May we all take hope in the triumph of life over death offered to us in the resurrection of Christ, and as we mourn and pray for those whose lives were tragically cut short, let us commend each other and our whole life unto the Christ Who has overcome fear, has trampled down death, and has granted us eternal life and great mercy.
With Love in Christ,

Statement of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon on the Orlando Shootings
The Orlando tragedy grieves us all. We grieve for those who were killed in this act of hate and terror. We ask for God’s healing power for the wounded. We pray for the families and communities of those killed and wounded, for the people of Orlando, for the people of our nation.
The federal, state, and local agencies and officials are acting to respond to the aftermath of the mass killing. We pray for them as they apply competence and collaboration to this human trauma and tragedy.
We join the many religious leaders—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—who are raising their voices to express horror at the violence and the hatred behind the violence.
Together with many people of faith we repudiate the use of religion to justify and promote hatred and violence. While the use/misuse of Islam confronts us with a global challenge, no religion is exempt from such manipulation. We join with all those religious leaders who promote and advance respect for human life. We see in each human being the image and likeness of God. We decry hatred and violence as ultimate assaults on God’s intention and love for each man and woman.
At this time of national trauma and grief, doubt and questioning, we call on the better angels of our human nature to guide us toward sanity and sobriety, and the common ground of mutual support and love.
With Love in Christ,
+ Tikhon

 It just keeps coming Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange warns more information will be published about Hillary Clinton, enough to indict her if the US government is courageous enough to do so, in what he predicts will be “a very big year” for the whistleblowing website.
Expressing concerns in an ITV interview about the Democratic presidential candidate, who he claims is monitoring him, Assange described Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump as an “unpredictable phenomenon”, but predictably, given their divergent political views, didn’t say if he preferred the billionaire to be president.
Speaking via video link from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Assange said that there was enough information in the emails to indict Clinton, but that was unlikely to happen under the current Attorney General, Obama appointee Loretta Lynch.
He does think “the FBI can push for concessions from the new Clinton government in exchange for its lack of indictment.”
The former secretary of state pushed for the prosecution of Wikileaks, rather than the global criminals they exposed, and the organization described her as a “war hawk.”
Assange said the leaked emails revealed that she overrode the Pentagon’s reluctance to overthrow sovereign Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, and that “they predicted the post-war outcome would be what it is, which is ISIS taking over the country.”
Sworn testimony from officials working in the department revealed that Clinton did not “know how to use a computer to do e-mail,” instead using her Blackberry for official communications.
Clinton’s office was a designated Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), where the use of wireless devices was not permitted, leading to Clinton leaving her office in order to access emails. https://www.rt.com/usa/346534-wikileaks-clinton-assange-fbi/

So like 50 dudes got smoked the night before last, and I wasn't moved at all when I found out. My first response was to stock up on magazines in case a panic buy started and all of the shit dried up, and my second response was to hit up the web for banter. I've been cracking jokes about it nonstop since then.
I wasn't really upset by the event, just the potential consequences.
That's not to say I don't think it's bad, I do. I just
A) don't understand how anybody can seriously be shocked by an act of Islamic terrorism anymore. It's like car accidents on the highway at this point. Yeah, it's unfortunate, but it happens all the time now.
B) am having trouble seeing why I should care. From an objective standpoint, human life isn't worth all that much. People die in bigger numbers than this every day in places like Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and even moreso in central Africa. We don't freak out and mourn over them, why do we pretend these people matter any more? Because it happened to "my countrymen" or whatever?
I mean yeah, we should try to fix the factors causing these terrorist attacks to occur in such frequency, but I'm really having trouble getting emotionally invested in this shit.
