    It's fine to let Royce know when he's hard to understand, but let's not make funny jokes about it ok?

    So I dunno if this exactly fits into the thread but I just learned that King "personally own the entire Congo and chop off the hands of anyone not working hard enough" Leopold of Belgium has fucking statues erected in his honor, and none of his ancestors have ever formally apologized for his actions.

    What the actual fuck.

    I don't think you reasonably can be expected to in general

    But I happen to know Royce's ethnicity and so it is a fair criticism re. my post

    In Indiana, three judges attending a conference last spring got drunk and sparked a 3 a.m. brawl outside a White Castle fast-food restaurant that ended with two of the judges shot. Although the state supreme court found the three judges had “discredited the entire Indiana judiciary,” each returned to the bench after a suspension.

    I have an internet acquaintance who is a lawyer in the DC area who says every single judge he's ever met is only a judge because they weren't good enough at being a lawyer, and that almost all of them are former prosecutors.

    I'm hoping it's a lapse in judgment on his part, where he's trying to take an ideologically optimistic (yet naive) world view of "can't we all just get along?"

    The answer is 'no' Terry, we can't, which is why we're here today. He's legitimizing one of the insidious ways BLM gets attacked and he should be ashamed of himself.

    When Gabrielle Union talked about racism at America's Got Talent, Terry Crews first denied that it happened and then posted a tweet saying that the only woman he had to answer to was his wife. He's...not terrific.

    Kanye donated $2 million to the families of police victims, obviously that's not a ton of money for him but I think he realizes he messed up.

    Terry has been saying kinda dumb centrist bullshit for a long time, i think in retrospect his willingness to speak up on the sexual harassment he’d suffered should be seen as the outlier and not the baseline. I guess I see it as wealth inoculation mixed with willful obliviousness rather than secret maga leanings, but it’s still disappointing.

    I'm guessing some accountants had to painstakingly explain to him several times over the course of several months that his Hollywood Christianity grift was trampling over his Republican Heel Turn grift

    Kanye has legitimate mental illness and I am not internet diagnosing, he literally has an album explicitly about his bipolar disorder. That doesn't fully excuse his actions but should totally inform any analysis of them

    I sorta assumed those were the same grifts, tbh.

    Can you grift unintentionally or is a certain intent inherent to the act like cannibalism

    I don't think it's intentional maga leanings, but it is definitely only in service of maga narrative. That's who's bolstered by this type of messaging

    I think some people grift semi-unconsciously, like it’s just how they see the world. It’s not completely unintentional but they genuinely don’t know how else to be. Because of that, they also think everyone else is a fraudulent sham.
