Zone1 Am I the only one surprised when they see a commercial with all white people?

[Persuader]

Anybody agree with Unkotare? Thank God I DO live in "Hickville" rather than the crime-ridden city, but does anyone who lives in or very near cities see a whole lot of miscegenation couples like in the ads?

I put the moron on ignore long ago and he will stay there....I will not waste time with stupids.

Oh, well, I decided you are right.

Movies are like that, too. I've been watching the horror movie "Smile" and the woman doctor, a very buttoned down woman with a rich-looking house, clothes, car --- she has this black fiancee! Who would do that, you know? It completely distracts from the plot and makes her look crazy.

All the crap that comes out of hollywood is pc to the utmost. They do not even know how to tell a story and they seem to find it next to impossible to find a good story. Some of their crap starts out rather well....good scenery and photography but very quickly the movie degenerates into stupidity....and the endings for the most part are really screwed up.

Yeah, I have to throw out too many movies. I have taken to previewing them as much as possible, same with novels so I don't waste money and time on Woke stupidity. It's like the ads: they lose sight of the MAIN REASON for the presentation, which surely shouldn't be to hammer us all with Woke craziness, but to tell a story about a murder, or another interesting plot idea. But they get lost in the Woke and it ends up confused and bad art. Get Woke, go broke.

People as individuals are different, what does their race have to do with commercials?

People are different and races are different.....yet racial groups have more in common amongst themselves than they do with other races. It is a maxim of communism that all are equal....ridiculous.

 

[Orangecat]

Interracial marriage is now protected. Get used to it.

That has nothing to do with the OP, kid. Pay attention.

It does seem odd that commercials choose to focus on showing blacks when they are only 10% of their customer base.

Tucker played a commercial for either SVB or Principal Bank - can’t remember which - but, wow….seems they were both focused on hiring as many blacks as possible and showing that off. The commercial showed a large group of happy people, dancing, and they were all black except one. Maybe if they hired people who were competent, instead of “blackness,” they would have not gone under.

The corporations have adopted a blatant racist and discriminatory policy of hiring people based on their race gender and sexuality.

Did JGalt really say this: If it takes fascism to reverse the damage you leftists have done, so be it. - JGalt 14JUL22?

I have not found it.

JGalt, you are in this thread. Do you really think that way? John Galt was the hero of an Ayn Rand novel. Would she advocate fascism?

Why do you believe fascism is a bad thing.

 

[Persuader]

This is sorta related. Are you surprised when you see a movie or a tv show without a homosexual character?

It would be difficult to find one now that does not have such a character in it.

Homosexuality is constantly promoted in the schools as a healty alternative lifestyle, the entertrainment industry constantly supports it also.

There is a very dark side to homosexuality .....and particuarly diseases that prevail in the homosexual community....yet all that is ignored and the liberal narrative remains one of presenting homosexuality as a healthy alternative lifestyle.

 

[Persuader]

I saw a four person panel on a news show today--Asian woman, Native American woman, white woman, and a black man. I guess white men are non existent any more.

White males and especially white Christian males are being openly discriminated against....academia, the entertainment industry and most corporations have adopted this blatant discriminatory policy.

 

[Persuader]

I think there are worse things to worry about than exact racial demographic representation in ads. Perhaps those who do need to form a Racial Representation Squad to monitor advertisements and ensure strict adherence to proper racial demographics so the easily offended aren't offended.

I think most people do not mind that represenatives of minority groups get some recognition but when approx l2 percent of the population gets a majoritry of the acting jobs in commercials that strongly suggests discrimination....how do you feel about discrimination?....why did our government outlaw discrimination in the hiring process?

and while we are at it....why do you believe this boid which has mostly conservative posters....never places a conservative in a mod position?

Yup….diversity is more important than competence. We are on a fast decline in this country.

I don't watch the most irritating commercials or TV shows.

Most commercials are filled with blacks so I mute almost all ads and do other things until the show resumes.

The newer L&O shows are loaded with blacks as commanding officers, every white cop is paired with a black partner, etc. I just don't watch the worst of them. L&O: SVU is still a decent show imo.

PBS now has loads of black programing. Documentaries and news shows. There's less and less worth watching, imo. It seems as though PBS has decided to become a part of BET. Lol. Screw them.

The situations mentioned above just bear no resemblance to reality. I'd greatly prefer media to more accurately portray our true population makeup. Everything on tv these days is a distortion of that reality.

Most movies and tv shows now portray blacks as winning WWII.....the fact of the matter only approx. 800 black soldiers were killed in WWII....compare that with the over 600,000 white soldiers that were killed in WWII.

We really should keep things in perspective and stop promoting myths.

They get horrendous diseases and transmit diseases to others and attack boys to subvert them to homosexuality thus ruining their lives. I think that's pretty awful and so I won't watch stuff with homosexuals in it.

Where do you get the false idea that a dictator is required for a fascist government?

On the other hand socialism can only be achieved by temporary dictatorship of the proletariat. Unfortunately that temporary dictatorship turns into a permanent one because the last dictators who gave up their power voluntarily died out 2,000 years ago.

There has been considerable disagreement among historians and political scientists about the nature of fascism. Some scholars, for example, regard it as a socially radical movement with ideological ties to the Jacobins of the French Revolution, whereas others see it as an extreme form of conservatism inspired by a 19th-century backlash against the ideals of the Enlightenment. Some find fascism deeply irrational, whereas others are impressed with the rationality with which it served the material interests of its supporters. Similarly, some attempt to explain fascist demonologies as the expression of irrationally misdirected anger and frustration, whereas others emphasize the rational ways in which these demonologies were used to perpetuate professional or class advantages. Finally, whereas some consider fascism to be motivated primarily by its aspirations—by a desire for cultural “regeneration” and the creation of a “new man”—others place greater weight on fascism’s “anxieties”—on its fear of communist revolution and even of left-centrist electoral victories.

The truth about Fascism...........is that it is highly adaptable and there is no set form like exists in socialism.

Most specifically American Fascism would be much different than the fascism of Italy under Mussolini.

The general theory of how Fascism should operate.

1. It prioritizes the welfare of the country.
One of the best things about fascism is that it focuses on the improvement of the country as a whole. Government funds will be spent on increasing the nation’s defenses and ensuring it has enough weapons, trained soldiers, and armed vehicles to defend itself against foreign invaders. The government will also spend money on cultural improvements (which can including making more museums and building national landmarks) to preserve the nation’s culture and make it appear impressive to other countries.


2. It promotes socio-economic equality.
Fascism aims to unite the people by getting rid of socio-economic classes and creating equality among everybody. Since the government is in full control of everybody, it can demand that the rich give up their wealth so it can be distributed among the poor. Theoretically, this will result to the dissolution of the upper class and lower class and make everyone in the country equal to each other.

3. It speeds up the decision-making process.
In a fascist government, there’s no need to jump through bureaucratic hoops since the leader of the movement is in control of everything. The leader can make a decision about a certain aspect of government (such as traffic management or crime control), and his decision will be implemented right away. As a result, the country can move forward without any delays and enjoy the benefits of progress and modernization.

4. It improves peace and order.
Common crimes like theft and burglary usually have no place in a fascist government. Since the government is in full control of everything, it can decree heavy punishment for these crimes, discouraging people from committing them and maintaining peace and order in the country.

Before we go any further do you have any data to support that claim or is it just opinion?

I think you just dissed some of our mods. But then again…we get accused of being rightists by the left and leftists by the right

There is no "we". There are only individual mods, some of which are left and some are right.

Other than Mr. Beale, the more recently promoted mods have all been left of center.

Me too

A dictatorship is characterized by the fact that it violates it's own laws and constitution - independent of being a one man show, or run by a clique.

The original form of Fascism is an ideology that does not in-cooperate/behold religious or racial dogmas. It is therefore the parties organizational structure that prevents, needs to prevent the emergence of a dictatorship. Just like any other party should, who are constitutionally obliged/bound to prevent a dictatorship.

If a minority group/party such as Libs, anarchists and greens manipulate their ruling coalition in order to pass laws that only favor their convictions or only provide a further leverage towards controlling, manipulating, subjugating an opposition - then this is a clear dictatorship just as well. Since it disrespects, violates the will of the peoples (the constitution) who are in majority against certain laws and are not even asked about it - but laws simply instituted by the respective ruling coalition.

For a government to forbid segregated schools in regards to race and gender is IMO an absolute violation of peoples individual rights. It is up to the people to decide if their kids are to attend a mixed school, or a segregated school, a boy's or a girl's school or a gender mixed school. E.g. in Singapore it is entirely up to the parents to decide onto what kind of school they want their kids to attend. And Lib's&Co refer to Singapore as being a dictatorship and autocratic state because they severely punish drug abuse and drug trafficking.

It is a political parties right to forward ideas that might convince the population to opt sending their kids to mixed schools in majority. But not via instituting laws that enforce such a shift onto an entire populace. That's dictatorship at it's finest. Next they will institute laws that define which religion is to be taught at schools, how many hours and so on, and that every family needs to patronize or acquit towards homosexuality and it's children are mandated to join queer parades at minimum twice a year.

Fascism originates from Italy due to a logical reason - try to read up Garibaldi (an extremely interesting historic person) - a Republican - like the former Republics of Florence, Venice, Genoa, etc.

His revolution - guerrilla warfare, concluded into the formation of a new united nation - Italy, then run by a parliamentary monarchy after abolishing an absolute monarchy, manipulated by liberals towards chaos and anarchy from 1890 -1920's - resulted into the founding of fascism - Mussolini was a well read person, very familiar with all political ideologies and the works of famous sociopolitical philosophers. That he turned Italy into a dictatorship lies within the failure of the Fascist party to enact a respective constitution and to follow up on breaches/violations of such a constitution.
