@sickburnbro Perhaps it would be better to approach the comparison from the other way, the news described the black killer's actions in very neutral of passive terms, softening the clear intentionality of the act down to "whoopsie!"

NBC: "The father of an 18-year-old who was fatally shot by police during an alleged stolen vehicle incident in Cincinnati on Thursday has been charged with hitting a deputy with his car and killing him, with the police chief saying the two fatal encounters are connected."

ABC: "Ohio deputy fatally struck by man whose son had been shot by police: Authorities"

NYT: "Father Whose Son Was Shot by Cincinnati Police Hits Deputy With Car, Killing Him - The New York Times"

I agree that the words chosen accurately describe the behavior and are what the murderer deserved, but the emotional tone is deliberately charged compared to the relatively dispassionate description of the events in Cincinnati.

I'm not surprised, of course, but I don't read much mainstream news these days, so the comparison stuck out.

@sickburnbro The inverse situation was just covered with that black father running over a random police officer in response to his kid's death (who died after a car chase). To the surprise of no one, this excerpt uses far more negative language ("slaughter, vigilante") in describing these events than it did the random revenge killing.

@Armpits @Diogenese_Shiplap @sickburnbro @IAMAL_PHARIUS @merchantHelios I love Fedi. Nowhere else will you get a detailed description of the calculations required for orbital flight posted by a guy named "Waifu Armpits."

@tyler @Owl I'm afraid to ask, but how big is your Johnny folder?

I still cannot believe the man is real

@Goalkeeper @ForbiddenDreamer @HarryNuggets @graf People are going to try to make insightful and meaningful posts to get lucky but the winner is going to be something about licking the backs of girls' knees or something

@nugger @Turkleton The only situation I can see this realistically becoming a thing would be some sort of mass political arrests of Whites, like the J6 people. You get a good amount of "normal" people into contact with the structure, and maybe enough of them are sane and sturdy enough to withstand the temptation to sink to their moral level. In that edge case though, funding in would likely be heavily curtailed, so you can only get bodies in, and in a political situation, they're likely not getting out.

@sickburnbro I hope the clerics keep getting their shit pushed in by two random podcasters just talking about the Bible. Incredible how that seems to rankle them.

@sickburnbro Woe is about the only reason I wish I had a twitter account.

@Bad_Banner With as dedicated to hating browns, women, and brown women fedipeople are, you would think they would be jumping at the chance to spite vote against her and deal her supporters untold psychic damage

@sickburnbro Paying them to leave (then making sure they know it would be very unpleasant for them if they come back) would pay for itself in no time.

I don't have the net financial impact by race graph, but paying blacks and mexicans et al even 50k per to leave would be recovered in less than 10 years (iirc)

@professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro The national debt is already a comically large and unpayable number, what's a few trillion more to ensure that things will improve?

@Bad_Banner Guam gets a vote?

@Giga_Vril_Breaker @pepsi_man @KarlDahl @sickburnbro The simple answer is it should be "There have been."

The complicated answer is digging deep back to English class, so bear with me.

We can break the sentence down thusly:

"{There} [have been] <a lot> (of rumors) (about the Helene response)"

The basic sentence is "{There} [have been] <a lot>". Both "of rumors" and "about the Helene response" are prepositional phrases. They add detail or clarify what specifically you're talking about in the sentence, but they do not factor into the core sentence.

The subject of the sentence is {There}, but it's a pronoun/dummy subject (apparently what it's called) that substitutes for the actual subject <a lot.> Because <a lot> is plural, the verb takes the plural form of [have been].

Again, this is pulling from English class many years ago (and a little googlefu today) for the explanation but tl;dr it should be "There have been."

@sickburnbro I've seen numbers about half that, but I'm getting 3rd and 4th hand info.

@SuperLutheran Otto getting a head start on his army.

@sickburnbro @sj_zero @EssentialUtinsil @EvilSandmich Is that counting US Steel that's being purchased by Japan? I guess so long as the equipment and expertise remain here, it can be seized and repurposed in an emergency.

@caekislove @sickburnbro The damage to DIE/DEI as a concept is already done. It was far harder to convince people that DEI is bad than it will be to point at whatever replaces it and say "Hey, this is just like DIE, they just changed the name!"

It'll fool some people (or "people," if you can't follow a simple name swap you have a dubious claim on being a sapient person), but most of the DEI-aware will transfer the same feelings over to the new concept once made aware of it.

@BitterPill @Lavaearth The framing does make it seem a bit like performance art or staged, but it's a good message either way.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Someone posted that instead of going to college on free rides and revolutionizing industries (as the smart silents and boomers did), our geniuses are playing Factorio after a night shift at Wal-Mart. I ponder that occasionally, and what a tremendous waste it is.
