Red hair is prettier,* but that's more associated with the Irish and other "lesser" peoples, rather than the nords and anglo-saxons, among whom blond was the designated bright color. This shouldn't be surprising since this is all rooted in Aryanism and the like.

I think you're also right about the youth thing, though it's worth noting that "dirty blond" hair gets noticeably brighter if you get a good amount of sun exposure, which I think is part of the "Americana" aesthetic of being tan with bright blond hair.

It's always really funny in a sad way seeing hard right people feel marginalized not even by a society that hates their bigotry but by a society that embraces it. For example, t's a perennial issue for Lauren Southern, a proto-fascist great replacement influencer type that she has trouble with the ridiculous levels of misogyny of people in her sphere. At least if I ever personally knew someone with these issues, it might be a good opportunity to reach out and say "Hey, maybe what is hurting you is a part of this ideology rather than an aberration from it" or something.

*Yeah I'm biased but come on, it's a more interesting color to occur on a human while blond is just a really light shade of brown when you get down to it, meaning it's fundamentally a difference it brightness between itself and all the shades it is supposedly more desirable than.

Surnames tend to come from patronyms/matronyms (named for parentage), toponyms (named for where they are from, live, or work), occupational names, ornamental names (invented largely by the middle class to resemble the names of noble lineages), and of course cognominal surnames, which are generally based on descriptors of the first of their line.

By process of elimination, he's descended from a voyeur.

(Actually it probably came from "Ocga Hill" in Old English, which seemingly was used by anglo colonizers in Ireland)

I'm genuinely jealous, but for that same reason will resist wading into protracted Discourse about the subject.

Yeah, I think TrueAnon did a thing on them recently

I think it's okay to say that people don't match beauty standards. The blonde hair is definitely a factor though since this event used to be openly white-supremacist and now is just marginally closeted about that fact.

Yeah, leave it to a Ukrainian flag username to erase the heroism of the Ukrainians in the Red Army in order to fellate the Americans

As an aside, I kind of need to wonder what people who wrote and reviewed that line actually imagine the "freedom" in question is when it is set against the many having a materially better life (which is a little bit of an exaggeration, but Stewart doesn't substantially challenge Tucker's claim there either). Like, they never specified what Navalny was killed for beside merely being "opposition" and some insinuation of him being against the invasion, so is their line "We need shitty conditions so we can have the right to protest war and be ignored by our government rather than killed"? It's very difficult to make a coherent argument out of what they are saying even if you grant them a bunch of their blatantly false premises.

Thank you for not making me need to be the first person to ask every single time. It's weird how frequently they use that one instead of, like, "bazillion" or something

Personally, I blame chan culture becoming more and more mainstream, so it's "cool" to be stupid.

It's absurd to act like channers are responsible for rather than another product of America's long-running anti-intellectual tradition, which you can pretty easily date back over a century with philistine panderers like Theodore Roosevelt through to Ronald Reagan and now Trump.

Thanks for reminding me that the new Tom MacDonald video should have just come out.

Dude is running out of titles, it was less than two years ago that he had "The System" and now this new one is "The Machine". Don't bother, the actual song's boring as shit, too. Just slop that could be generated by an AI trained on Eminem and "I'm not a Republican, but" Discourse.

I will continue to repost this essay, because everyone should read it:

The "Marketplace of Ideas" is a fiction; Ideology is a type of survival strategy. You are astronomically unlikely to, through an abstracted and remote medium like bickering on a forum, get someone who is attached to their survival strategy to change horses midstream for a new one. You can try to chip away at it overtime, trying to convince them some other strategy is superior, but it's unreliable and inefficient to do with someone who you don't personally know. The best you'll usually do is persuade an inquisitive person towards pro-sociality, but I don't think that's quite what you mean.

Incidentally, since survival strategies are based on one's environment, the best way to spread survival strategies (besides really getting to know someone's conditions) is seeking to change the environment. r/cth was so effective for the ways that it not only built relative consensus over time within itself but changed the social norms outside of itself in a self-benefitting way, by attacking reactionaries, supporting progressives, seeking out spaces where the less-entrenched people would be idling around (that last one is how they caught me). Rituals of "debate" online only have very few practical uses, and none of them are getting the other person on your side.

If you define what it means to kill very carefully and what it means for those leaders to be responsible very carefully, you can make those numbers real. Lots of people died in Russia and China

The thing about China is that you can't use people who died to prove the famine "death toll" because it's about 50% the statistical abstraction of people who weren't born rather than literal people who died.
