kind of interesting that a thread about a situation where a person was constantly belittled and marginalized contains a bunch of posts where several posters belittle and marginalize another one
also gives some excellent examples for my point to in orbit about how easy it is for people to slip into being abusive with words

I mean do you guys not seriously think you are pushing this thing a little too far? You think its okay to continue to needle me after I've explained several time that I don't find the "race war" shit acceptable in the least? Grow the fuck up.

I've now transitioned from resisting the urge to poke at Mordy to wanting to poke at jon/via/chi 2.0.
It's nothing personal. There's just this compulsion, like in the red button gag.
I think this is the rush bullies feel when some red-faced kid is sputtering in indignation.

probably, but i'm sick of the fucking pile-on after i explicitly explain how tired i am of the goddamn "race war" bullshit. i wish the mods would sack up and do something about bullying on this board for once.

for me the thing thats funny about isnt how easy it is to send jon over the edge, its the absurdity of how easy it would be for him to end the race war, instead he fights on
― lag∞n, Friday, 11 January 2013 16:14 (eleven years ago) link
i am totally ignorant of what race war means w/r/t jon so this is all kind of bizarre to me

lol feel like zachylon's apologetics did not adequately explain the genocide thing at all
After extensive study of history, I believe "Latino" -- as used in the Los Angeles Times -- is the most recent attempt at genocide perpetrated against the native people of the Americas. I also posit this new genocide is far more dangerous than the old fashioned murder and relocation efforts.

AND THUS, I CONTRIBUTE
distinguishing between cultural and actual genocide does not explain why calling ppl latinos is worse than murder + relocation

war is peace make u think
a practice she equated to genocide
ugh fuck this, there is like a 100% chance she was referring to cultural genocide, a term used for decades and not meant to imply the actual murder of a group of people

She may not be a well person, I wouldn't argue for or against anything of that nature at this point, but she wasn't accusing anyone of literal genocide so there's no need to heap extra accusations.
xxxxxp I think his explanation was sufficient for anyone who wanted to look up the term and educate themselves about its use.

I've been searching for anything from Gotham Books, but nothing yet, which is probably smart if they aren't on the same page as the author yet.

i propose that using the term latino is not worse than murdering ppl and that suggesting otherwise is disrespectful to the victims of genocide

I've also been searching for "race war" on ilx, and every result I've clicked on is jon saying he will not tollerate this race war stuff followed by a few random people making race war comments.
