Twitter will one day, turn me into a racist I swear.

Idk what it is about this app, It gave me a whiff of what it's like hating a certain group of people (not gonna mention which group).

And the weird thing is, Twitter content isn't anything worse than what I see regularly on 9GAG and Reddit. Not even close.

What sorcery does this app have? I might need to stay tf away from this app wtf.

If you notice that a group of people overwhelmingly like chicken and watermelons. Is it racist to say people in certain demographics like chicken and watermelons? Or is it just the truth?

It doesn't seem to stop people from noticing things that "white" people do or like? Like bacon, milk, and beer.

youre on devRant. What is twitter installed for ?

Racism got much worse last couple of years. Amerika has that terrible black and white mentioning all the time. We always called colored people dark people or whatever. Now it's only about black and white because some journalist took it literally from American news provably. We have a word for white people kinda meaning transparent. But thats racist now, you have to say white. Complete shit show.

And yes, 9gag, I went there yesterday since a half year or so and fuck, what a hate against women and racism. Not jokes anymore, really hate. They stood top long in their bubble. I don't care about racism, but the level they're on is smth new. Wtf.

They always jokes no girls on 9gag. I think that's true now

I've said this a hundred times, but the issues is the "micro-blogging" format.

You can't discuss anything serious, like politics, in 280 chars or less. It forces people to take a topic that you can't do justice in an 80 page essay and condense it to the most knee-jerk reaction possible, with no space for caveats, sources or thoughts.

So what you get is someone trying to say something thoughtful just to find out they have to rewrite it to 280 chars, which means they will drop all the little inportant details and social ques, which will make it look like they are 20x the asshole, claiming everything as a fact, which will upset more people who are now subject to the same limitations and the cycle repeats ad-nauseam...

In short, you either just insult someone in 5 words or you sound like an asshole in 280. There's no other option. It's stupid and should be removed from the internet

@jestdotty I used to like fried chicken. Now the oils make me feel ill. So I eat baked chicken. I like beer, but noticed I feel ill sometimes when I drink. Not sure why. It is not the cheap beer either. I know some of the cheap stuff has shit in it. I like cheesecake. Milk is literally white privilege. I am okay with that version of privilege.

I'm never offended by accurate descriptions

I've had people slander me and when they do people contact me thinking the slander was real. they're quite genuine in their need and appreciation of someone of that label (which maybe all those people slandering don't know)

I think the only true evil and disservice you can do is by inaccurately labeling someone. if it's accurate it's always good

I ran into a weird book somewhere, it was a book written by a hippy activist from the 70s. it mentioned how at some point they were getting on the government's nerves so rumour was spread that the hippies were unwashed. what happened is all the unwashed people who heard of that story and heard the hippies were unwashed showed up at these hippy gatherings, and the hippies were really fucking ticked because the hippies actually weren't unwashed. the guy said it was really disaster to try to turn these people away. THOUSANDS from all over the country came

false advertisements are malicious simply

@joewilliams007 I don't know what I do anymore man. For "influencer" stuff I suppose?

First of all, why does everyone assume it's white against black racism I was exposed to. When you hear racism and you automatically think white on black racism, maybe you're the racist here.

What don't you understand? It's baiting, out of context info that veers you towards a heavier and heavier hit of whatever got you interested. Perfect vehicle for outrage and conspiracy. Down the rabbit hole...

@retoor > "Racism got much worse last couple of years."

I disagree.

My dad grew up in a time where they chased blacks down in cars and routinely beat them up for no reason. My mother-in-law (in her 80s) still call them the n-word (and she says she's not racist). She'll say "I don't want to go to that part of St. Louis, its full of n.... and I'm not racist"

Because snowflakes are offended by words they read in a chat room isn't racism.

Morgan Freedman eloquently told a reporter if you want to stop racism, stop making everything about race.

In South Africa racism is a way of life. You never see anything in the media about blacks being super racist towards whites here, which happens quite frequently (happened to me a lot, but it doesn't bother me). Most blacks are actually more racist than most whites are. There are laws that force economic benefits on blacks to the detriment of whites, which just makes racism much worse. It's really funny actually.

@PaperTrail I said last couple of years, so compared to a few years ago. Not 50 years ago

@retoor > "I said last couple of years"

I don't think racism is any worse, I think the liberals/socialists/far-left has fired up their base as victims (again) and using race (again) to make themselves legitimate.

Before my far-right friends jump in and scream "YES!!", the same thing happens when I hear "Christians are under attack!" or "They want to cancel Christmas!!!"

When our local high school allows a LGTPZ-whatever parade down the halls during school and bans a student led prayer group in the lunch room *before* school, then I'll say we're under att...oh crap.

@mostr4am I am just going to assume "white people" now only refers to Belgians. ;-) I am Irish, not white.

@mostr4am no

@mostr4am out of nowhere i became caring about environment and will shame you for the burning tree. A real leftist wouldn't burn a tree. You're politically aligned to center now by having said that

@mostr4am I just like to give you shit. I know the English are a buncha fuckers. Lizards and shit. Ol' sausage hands isn't lookin' too healthy either.

@mostr4am as a center guy you could consider second handed electric car. A center guy always find a solution where both parties are not happy with! :)

@Hazarth I think you hit it on the head. I’d also to add to the equation anonymity (or, near anonymity such that even if you know who you’re talking to, it’s unlikely you’ll ever meet them). People are less civil when there are no social consequences. Over the chasm that is social media, we’re basically pummeling each other with attack banners and thoughts grenades. There’s little incentive for negotiation or compromise.
