"Respecting the people who told you that trying to practice or borrow from their culture's traditions is actually hateful" is a line I've gotten from more than one asshole who was angry over being told no.

I'll never forget the white New Age guy who told me that it's fine and even good for white people to call themselves "shamans" because doing otherwise is divisive and even hateful toward Tungusic people.

Of course these people know that they can't sell their bullshit to the people to whom these traditions actually belong, so they try to pitch it to my white pagan ass, in the hopes that they can "enlighten" me to see things their way; IE, toward a pro-spiritual colonialism, pro-assimilationist viewpoint.

Respecting people who tell you to back off from their culture's traditions isn't about being divisive or hating their culture. It's about saying "all right, I respect that this belongs to you, that you are the people who get to say what this is and isn't about, and that it's not my place to reinterpret or repurpose it."

It's about respecting boundaries. And respecting boundaries is never about hate. It's about respecting another culture's autonomy and agency.

Sudden thought after watching Ravenous:

The most fucked up thing about Ives' plan? IT WAS STILL MORE ETHICAL THAN ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE DURING MANIFEST DESTINY.

The fucking cannibal had more of an ethical standard (and considerably less racism) than the US Government.

Anyway. Watch Ravenous, it's really good.

Whenever white people cry "mental illness" in response to gun control, I have to laugh.

Do you know how many people suffer from mental illness and don’t shoot up elementary schools and grocery stores?

There are a lot of steps someone has to take to come to the conclusion that shooting CHILDREN is the best course of action.

It’s such a cop-out and it makes me so mad.

I'm five episodes deep into The Watcher it is white nonsense at its finest.

They have no money but have not made one frugal alteration to their lives. In fact they seem to be purposefully making it worse.

Spoilers

Is this all a dream? Because that's how this is feeling. The über weird neighbors. The fact that their house is so much bigger than everyone else's. Nora's wishy washy behavior. KAREN in total. The kids lack of going to school despite the fact that it is clearly fall. They have a sex life but suddenly they don't. The whole John Graff nee List plot. Ellie being dumb as hell. The son barely being a character outside of crying. Nora's a ceramist but we never see her making anything. The home reno going so quickly and smoothly. How long have they been in the house. Dean has a job but it's never clear what he does. The daughters a pianist but never plays and is instead swimming. Everyone keeps repeating phrases. They never go anywhere in town. We've never really seen the town. They lived in NYC for years where are their friends? Nora still has business & a show there she never checks on anything no one ever updates her. The chief or head detective & the PI both weird. The PI having such a convoluted story to how she became a PI. Everyone knows everything but everyone knows nothing. They spent all their money on the house yet have money for country clubs, private detectives, security systems, weeks long motel stays. The house address is 657 BOULEVARD is that the streets name Boulevard Blvd. St. Ln. Trl. Ave. What? Everything is linear but nonsensical like a dream.

I know multiple locations and characters is limited because of covid safety and budget restraints but a lot of this is feeling purposeful.

This whole show feels like one of those really intense hyperfocused scenes where a character is on the verge of a breakdown or just dropped acid and is trying to pretend they aren't tripping.

I think think the Watcher is Karen. I think 657 Boulevard was her house. She lost it when her husband left her. She used the divorce settlement to reinvent herself and get her realtors license. Now she's trying to buy the house, her dream house, back one commission at a time. With every scared seller the price gets lower and lower and she gets closer and closer. It explains why she's so passive aggressive about Nora's marriage. And insists on them selling. And keeps bringing up the Watcher and making it out to be way worse than some letters. It's probably something else but who knows?

It's probably not a dream or novel or story. And instead of a fun guessing game I probably just pointed out a bunch of plot holes. Oh well. Nothing is perfect as long as I had fun watching it I don't care.

Is Dakota one of the guys from Rae Shremmerd?

So I'm past episode 5 onto 6 and I was wrong. It's more normal than what I thought. It's just white people being white people and not minding they damn business. So truly the scariest thing of all the scary things.

Well this is hitting real close to home. I too have neighbors doing things I don't like to their homes. Two put up the world's ugliest and gaudiest fence. Another's fence is falling apart. Another has trash and uncut grass spilling from his back yard. One house removed the shrubbery from the front of house and made it look so plain and ugly. And I live in a normal suburb. I imagine I'd go insane if my house was worth a couple mill and my new neighbors were fucking up.

Also, I'm not selling my house. Keep watching Watcher because I'm gone do what I want in my house and you can suffer. $275,000 less from $3.5 M with improvements, I think the fuck not you trick ass bitch. We moving back in there letters and all.

Is this a dream? When the fuck did Maurice die? What is the timeline. So much time has passed and yet it feels like none has. Why is Karen so shady?

My parents have been attending an Oktoberfest celebration in the same town where they’re going to meet my girlfriend in about two hours. They and another couple they’re were dressed in lederhosen and dirndls yesterday evening at a biergarten with live accordion music. If my girlfriend was there yesterday evening, she’d have this reaction:

I could never own a Dodge truck because everytime I parked I would yell, "alright let's get the heck out of Dodge" and that would be too much, even for me.

Some very vocal white Vegans are always comparing eating a burger to slavery and the holocaust. It’s so weird

OK I'm gonna have to take a minute here. This is why I can't stand white vegans. 😒

I laughed so hard I started coughing, and then I coughed until I couldn't breathe.

People. Please. If you are going to use a term from a language you don't speak, please, PLEASE Google it first.

Okay so this is not the definitive Selwyn Kane hot take (more like a mildly hot take— a Taco Bell hot sauce take?) or anything but like what could be more colonizer bs than literally ripping trees (who haven’t done shit to hurt your sorry ass) out of the ground and throwing them over a cliff when you are having uncomfortable feefees? Come on, man. Do better.

I need white people to stop telling their black friends and peers about how their family members are racist and use slurs 😐

Wtf am I supposed to do with this information???

Thank you for sharing! Do you challenge this behavior? Do you stand up to them?

No?

Then keep it to yourself.
