  • Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.

    To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.

    In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.

    Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?

    Or is the guy being downvoted because he’s being an ass, not because he’s wrong?

    That feels unnecessarily harsh. Especially since music is subjective and he’s purposefully not using his greatest skill, the electric guitar… and while I’m not a fan of the nightwatchman stuff, the music itself isn’t bad, just not my cup of tea. Also, the Audioslave stuff is great too, not just RATM. That’s already two hugely successful bands, which is 2 more than most artists.




  • Ok, maybe he wasn’t praising republicans as a whole, but he did praise trump for picking a big tech lobbyist in a job in which he claims to want the opposite. “Great pick!” is a praise, you can’t deny that, can you?

    “Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.”

    That’s their official account complaining about the guy’s daughters being lobbyists, not even him directly. Why is the appointment of Gail Slater, who worked the internet association (big tech lobbyists) and fox corporation, a great pick?






  • Have we read the same article? Because that article simply claims that Romanians have an air of superiority and that it was a banal drawing and then lists a bunch of reactions from some Romanians and also brings up the fact that Halep is of aromanian descent, despite it being irrelevant. Unless they think aromanians and the romani are the same people, which they’re not. Sounds unapologetic and no explanation given for the reinforcement of the romanians = gypsies stereotype.

    They could’ve at least framed it as a “le monde” title or something to imply that it’s the media framing her as such… there’s nothing there to imply those are other people’s words…

    So I can make a comic of Obama with some fried chicken and some watermelon at a desk with a plaque that says POTUS and just be like “it’s a joke! I’m making fun of the racists!” ? That doesn’t sound right to me, but whatever.
