Funny events in anti-woke world

[BrawlMan]

Like, I cannot understand why anyone would care about green M&Ms. I also cannot understand why someone who states the the new M&M is pandering doesn't realise that the OLD green M&M is pandering and we didn't have to yell at everyone about it. Yes, of course it pandering. It's always been pandering. Why does it only get yelled about when its not pandering to specific people?

Because they are punk ass biatches that live shallow lives, self-hatred, and with nothing better to do in life. So they go out and make things worse for everyone or pull a "If I can't have it, no one can!" shit. Sucks to be them.

I get yelled at by enough peeps online about M&Ms, Rings of Power, sportsball team name changes and Hailey Bailey to know that there is a large cohort that does total get on board with the anti-woke nonsense.

Yes, I know it's a minority of conservatives. It's not a small minority. Yes, I know it vocal. I dont know why its so popular with conservatives. If it was popular, Walsh and Shapiro and Carlson wouldn't get the big bucks to say their nonsense. It's only being stated because that's what mosy conservatives want to hear

These people are not yelling at you. These people are laughing and having a good time:

If randoms on the internet are yelling at you, you might just be imagining their tone like the person who saw Shapiro make that joke and interpreted it as anger. Or maybe people are yelling at you because you're picking fights with them. Either way, if you feel like you can't mock the woke candy branding, it's your own fault.

The "merry xmas" thing here in the UK is absolutely not invented. Every year, without fail, the tabloids run stories about the "WAR ON CHRISTMAS", based on nothing but a local shop somewhere putting up a sign that says "happy holidays". I've personally seen those stories for several years running, you can set the calendar by them.

You are correct. Tabloids run the stories. Media people invented the controversy for attention, nobody actually cares. There's no mass movement to take down people saying "happy holidays". There's no mass movement to replace the black little mermaid. These are fictions invented by tabloids to get you to read them.

You are correct. Tabloids run the stories. Media people invented the controversy for attention, nobody actually cares.

Isn't it more that media people invent those controversies because they know people care and thus engage with their articles more. The whole war on Christmas nonsense or the backlash to black Ariel gets fostered by bad actors because they hope people caring will get them money. And frequently it turns out to be a winning strategy.

Welcome to the gop.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Marjorie Taylor Greene took her seat directly behind Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy, a proximity to power for the firebrand congresswoman that did not go unnoticed, as he unveiled the House GOP’s midterm election agenda in Pennsylvania.

Days later, she appeared on stage warming up the crowd for Donald Trump, when the former president rallied voters in Michigan to cast ballots for Republicans, including for control of Congress.

Once shunned as a political pariah for her extremist rhetoric, the Georgia congresswoman who spent her first term in the House stripped of institutional power by Democrats is being celebrated by Republicans and welcomed into the GOP fold. If Republicans win the House majority in the November election, Greene is poised to become an influential player shaping the GOP agenda, an agitator with clout.

“No. 1, we need to impeach Joe Biden. No. 2, We need to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. And No. 3, we should impeach Merrick Garland,” Greene told The Associated Press outside the U.S. Capitol. Alejandro Mayorkas is the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Garland the attorney general.


Scolding the media for having been “wrong about me” from the start, she said those who know better “take me very seriously.”


“I’m going to be a strong legislator and I’ll be a very involved member of Congress,” she predicted. “I know how to work inside, and I know how to work outside. And I’m looking forward to doing that.”

This is the outlook for the Republican Party in the Trump era, the normalizing of once fringe figures into the highest ranks of political power. It’s a sign of the GOP’s rightward drift that Greene’s association with extremists and nationalists, violent rhetoric and remarks about Jewish people have found a home in elected office. Her ascent brings into focus the challenge ahead for McCarthy, whose GOP ranks are filling with far-right political stars with the potential to play an oversized role in setting the policies, priorities and tone of the new Congress.

“I’ve said for a long time there’s a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party,” said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, at a briefing ahead of the midterm elections.

Once shunned as a political pariah for her extremist rhetoric, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is being welcomed by House Republicans into the fold, and is poised to become an influential player if the GOP wins the House majority in November. (Oct. 10)


When the congresswoman says outlandish things — as she did at the Trump rally earlier this month claiming “Democrats want Republicans dead, and they’ve already started the killings” — few Republican leaders dare a public or private rebuke of such incendiary language. In this case, she was exaggerating two local incidents involving politics, one that ended tragically in a fatality.

Greene’s political currency stretches beyond her massive social media following and her ability to rake in sizable sums from donors. Her proximity to Trump makes her a force that cannot be ignored by what’s left of her mainstream GOP colleagues.

McCarthy’s allowance for Greene to sit front and center with leadership for the campaign rollout was not by accident but design. The Republican lawmakers in attendance celebrated her presence, calling it a sign of the GOP’s “big tent” that welcomes all comers. But Greene’s arrival also signaled a stark normalizing of the most extreme elements in the Republican Party.


Longtime political strategist Rick Wilson, a former Republican who left the party in the Trump era, calls Greene’s brand of politics “government by trolling” that marks a dangerous new era for the GOP and will make it difficult to govern. McCarthy is in line to become House speaker if Republicans regain the majority.

“No matter what the trolling part of the Republican caucus does, you can’t ever satisfy them,” said Wilson, now at the Lincoln Project.

With the departure of the last vestiges of the anti-Trump wing of the House GOP — Liz Cheney defeated by a primary opponent and Adam Kinzinger deciding to step down rather than seek reelection — “that’s it,” Wilson said.

Greene swept onto the national stage in the 2020 election, catapulted forward even before she took office. As the lawmaker-elect from northwest Georgia, she attended a key organizing meeting at the Trump White House as lawmakers laid plans to object to the certification of Joe Biden’s election on Jan. 6, 2021. When she arrived to be sworn into Congress, she wore a “Trump Won” face mask.


Democrats moved swiftly and unequivocally to reprimand Greene, voting to strip her of congressional committee assignments over her incendiary rhetoric, including trafficking in volatile conspiracy theories. Greene drew rebuke from her own party a few months later for comparing mandatory COVID-19 face masks to the treatment of Jewish people by Nazi Germany.

While some have tried to compare Greene to outspoken far-left lawmakers, it became clear even to Republican leaders that Greene stood in a category of her own.

At that time, McCarthy called her comments about the Holocaust “wrong” and “appalling.” Greene later apologized.

In many ways, Greene’s arrival in the House traces the arc of the Republican Party’s rightward evolution from the Newt Gingrich revolution that brought conservatives to power in the 1994 election, to the “tea party” Republicans that regained the House majority in 2010.


Jack Kingston, a former Republican congressman who rose during those earlier eras, said McCarthy was smart in welcoming Greene to unfurl the House GOP’s “Commitment to America” last month.

“He’s got to work with her, and he knows that,” Kingston said.

“Getting Marjorie Taylor Greene on board is very important,” he said. “If you don’t bring everybody in the tent, they’re going to find their own niche.”

In the interview, Greene said she is certain she will be reinstated on her congressional committees if Republicans win the majority, eyeing the House Oversight panel, and is talking to leadership about other opportunities in the new Congress.

Not only does Greene want to impeach Biden and Cabinet officials, she is eager to conduct investigations, including into the origins of COVID-19.

Last month, Greene unveiled legislation that is another priority — her bill to prohibit some gender reassignment procedures on minors — flanked by a dozen Republican lawmakers and leaders in the conservative movement. Many of them praised the congresswoman for her work.

“I want to thank Marjorie Taylor Greene — who is soon to get her full legislative powers back, by the way,” said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the Conservative Political Action Committee, who hugged her afterward.

“If this is the type of thing that you’re going to have the courage to do, I think that’s something everybody needs to understand,” Schlapp said.

McCarthy and Greene appear to have come to an understanding that they need each other. The leader needs Greene to come into the GOP fold rather than throw rocks from outside. She needs McCarthy’s blessing to regain committee assignments, enabling her to participate more fully in Congress and put her imprint on legislation.

At the Pennsylvania event McCarthy batted away questions about his ability to govern if Republicans win the majority.

“Name me one person in the conference that is opposed to this,” he said afterward of their platform. “Is that a difference? Yes.”

Fucking Tucker is a hollow kunt ghoul.

Fox News recently aired a two-part interview between Tucker Carlson and Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West. Motherboard has obtained portions of the interview that were edited out of the final broadcast. These include numerous antisemitic sentiments from Ye, a strange and lengthy digression about “fake children” he claimed were planted in his house to manipulate his own children, and a statement that he’s vaccinated against COVID-19.

Carlson used the interview, which was presented as a piece of landmark television, to hit on a few of Fox News’ favorite boogeyman, with Ye’s enthusiastic participation: the Clintons, former President Obama, COVID restrictions, and, of course, the Kardashians. But what the Tucker Carlson team chose to leave out is just as revealing.

In the version of the interview that made it to air, Ye described what he said was pressure not to support Donald Trump when the latter was a candidate, called the singer Lizzo “clinically unhealthy” for her weight, and tried to explain his decision to appear at Paris Fashion Week with conservative pundit Candace Owens in matching “White Lives Matter” shirts. Carlson praised the interview as “interesting, deep, provocative,” and aired nearly two full hours of it over the course of two nights.

“Do you feel at times you were manipulated by political forces through your wife?” Carlson asked hopefully at one point, in a fairly representative piece of footage. (Ye responded that he was unaware of how close Kim Kardashian was to “the Clintons” during the time they were married.) A simple statement of fact from Ye—“I was vaccinated”—was edited out of a part of the conversation about COVID; Carlson has repeatedly used his show to air false and dangerous claims aimed at discouraging his viewers from getting vaccinated.

The other footage that didn’t air specifically includes numerous asides about Jewish people. Ye has recently displayed an intense negative fixation on Jews; both his Instagram and Twitter accounts have been locked in recent days because of Ye’s antisemitic statements. On Friday, October 7, he appeared to suggest in an Instagram post that the rapper Diddy is controlled by Jews. Not long after, he promised in a tweet that he would go “death con 3” on “JEWISH PEOPLE.”

In his interview with Carlson, Ye said that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, a “known eugenics,” as he put it, created Planned Parenthood with the KKK “to control the Jew population.”

“When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are,” Ye added. “This is who our people are. The blood of Christ. This, as a Christian, is my belief.”

The statement mashes up a few different claims. Sanger was indeed a racist and eugenicist, a stance the organization has since denounced; claims that Planned Parenthood exists to kill Black infants in the womb are common across several different conspiratorial spaces. Ye was also referring to the claim, unsupported by historical evidence, that Black people are the “real” Jewish race, which is often used to promote antisemitism. (The Southern Poverty Law Center has a broader explanation of this particular tangled claim, which is often, but not always, associated with the Black Hebrew Israelites, a movement that originated in the 19th century; some Black Hebrew Israelite sects believe that non-Black Jews are impostors or usurpers of “true” Jewish identity.)

In another aside about Jews that didn’t make it to air, Ye used a strange metaphor when talking about Black people judging one another, telling Carlson, “Think about us judging each other on how white we could talk would be like, you know, a Jewish person judging another Jewish person on how good they danced or something.” He paused. “I mean, that's probably like a bad example and people are going to get mad at that shit.” A few moments later, he added, “I probably want to edit that out.”


At another point, when complaining that his children are going to a school that celebrates Kwanzaa, Ye added, “I prefer my kids knew Hanukkah than Kwanzaa. At least it will come with some financial engineering.” (The belief that Jews control the financial system is one of the oldest and most deeply-rooted antisemitic claims. It’s unclear if that’s what he meant by “financial engineering,” a term generally associated with the creation of exotic financial instruments.)

In one more aside, Ye told Carlson that he was going to be “the first Latino president.” That statement was aired, but it was followed by something that wasn’t. “I just, I trust Latinos when I, you know, when I work with them,” he told Carlson. “I trust them more than—” he paused. “I'll be safe, certain other businessmen, you know.” (Carlson did not ask which businessmen those might be.)

Carlson’s program also didn’t air a strange claim from Ye that “fake children” had been placed in his house to manipulate his children.

“I mean, like actors, professional actors, placed into my house to sexualize my kids,” he told Carlson. He referred to the “so-called son” of an associate, seemingly to imply the child was fake. “We don't, we didn’t even believe that this person was her son because he was way smarter than her, right?” (Ye has spoken frequently about living with bipolar disorder and experiencing manic episodes. In 2019, he discussed how he experiences these with David Letterman, telling him, “When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything, everyone. This is my experience, other people have different experiences. Everyone now is an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy.”)

Carlson didn’t ask any followup questions or redirect this line of thought, allowing Ye to lead directly into another claim, which also didn’t air, about one of his children being “kidnapped” on her birthday so that Ye was not able to see her. That claim is part of what seems to be his ongoing, and very public, obsession with being treated unfairly or unequally in his children’s lives, and in the midst of a heated custody battle with Kim Kardashian.

“Everyone saw in broad daylight these public figures kidnap my Black child on her birthday,” he told Carlson. “I did not know the location of the birthday party and Travis Scott had to give me the address. When I showed up, they were so frazzled. If that's not the most Karen-level thing, to feel like you can take a Black child and not give the father the address. This is the way people are treated when they get out of prison, when they go to prison. And 100 percent, I am in a glass prison or else I'd be the one with the say so over where my children go to school.”

Ye has repeatedly claimed on Instagram that his child Chicago was not permitted to see him on her birthday, something that Kim’s sister Khloe Kardashian responded to in the comments of one post. “Again with the birthday narrative,” she wrote. “Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone's tired of it. You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it."

A lengthy piece of the interview that was also not broadcast involved Ye’s ruminations about the death of Virgil Abloh, the fashion designer who was his one-time friend, and who died in November 2021. Ye accused Louis Vuitton, where Abloh worked at the time of his death, of “killing” Abloh and said he was “beefing” with the company. (Abloh died of cancer at just 41 years old.)

“Virgil was actually the third person to die of cancer in that organization,” Ye told Carlson. “So not just Black men have passed in that organization, but the third person to die of cancer that was in a higher up position in that organization. And with Paris is a different level of elitism and racism. And Virgil was the kind of guy that he didn't hold it in. And I believe it ate him up from inside.” A moment later, he added, “The level of racism, elitism and pressure that he was under, I'm sure, affected his health.”

Ye also made a strange comment, which Carlson didn’t air, about his plans to create “kinetic energy communities” built with “free energy,” a technology not currently available to human beings.

“I have visions that God gives me, just over and over, on community building and how to build these free energy, kinetic, fully kinetic energy communities,” he told Carlson, “where we impress—we put the least impression on the earth. We're not building the new New York skyline cockfight. That we are humble in the way that we present ourselves. We’ve got to rethink who we are as a species.” Including this portion of the interview might have helped audiences understand Ye’s state of mind, and general grasp on observable reality. (While Ye has said that he stops taking his medication for periods of time, in an Instagram post earlier this year, he also called it “dismissive” to “say I’m off my meds anytime I speak up.”)

Carlson closed his segment on the Ye interview by declaring that the artist—whose erratic behavior has for years been at the center of discussions about mental health and how Black men with mental health issues are treated— is “not crazy” and “worth listening to.” He also added, approvingly, that Ye was “getting bolder” in what he has to say.

Carlson and Fox News spokespeople did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Representatives for Ye and Louis Vuitton also did not respond to requests for comment.

Fucking Tucker is a hollow kunt ghoul.

You can add Kanye to the list too. The sick mother-fucker don't even care about his own kids anymore. He's using them as an excuse for his own assholery. Anyone that follows Kanye West or still listening to his music at this point, are delusional butt-fucks and know what they're doing is inherently wrong. They just want their own self-satisfaction and pathetic validation to keep listening to him and his music.

These people are not yelling at you. These people are laughing and having a good time:

If randoms on the internet are yelling at you, you might just be imagining their tone like the person who saw Shapiro make that joke and interpreted it as anger. Or maybe people are yelling at you because you're picking fights with them. Either way, if you feel like you can't mock the woke candy branding, it's your own fault.

I'm getting mocked over something I don't care about?

That's such a weird perspective. They're mocking nothing

I'm laughing at Shapiro because he IS caring about it. What a stupid hill to die on. No one is hurt by this. No one is helped by this. It SHOULD be treated as a nothing burger. Like all pandering marketing changes/ads. But of course, we need to be offended by this. Its not pandering to Shapiro anymore, so it triggered him. (I.e. it would be more believable if Shaprio ALWAYS cared about pandering. He on cares about one particular type of pandering that offends him. To me, I think he and Carlson trying to prove that White Fragility exists.)

I dont even know if ANYONE disagrees with Shapiro. Everything from the Left was all about mocking Shapiro and Carlson for having the literal stupidest take on something we could have all agreed on. The Left has been pointing out that all M&M, as all products, are pandering for over a century. But then, Shaprio's and Carlson's take was never about pandering. It never has been. Probably never will be. It's just them being offended

As to randoms on the internet, just use the word Disa in anything other than a derogatory manner will get the yells out. All this stuff, like what Shapiro and Carlson is doing, is just identity politics. If you have an opinion outside of them, you must be personally attacking them and clearly you're destroying Western society. If you don't believe, check the tapes on Green M&M, Carlson waa talking about it destroying America or Western Society.

This would all be very funny if this was new. It's not. It's how conservatives treated people in the 90s. The 80s. The 70s. The 60s. The 50s. This is standard procedure. This is why gay and transpeople lived in closest. Anything outside what conservatives want is seen as evil and must be cancelled.

I'm not saying any of this to try and get you to do something else. You wouldn't. It's part of your identity
