Definition of liberalism for the many lemmings here who don't understand it.
"A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority."
This is a very broad definition that applies to basically any anti-authoritarian government. No government type has a perfect record historically, but liberal governments have a decent track record compared to authoritarian govenements (ie fascism/communism/feudalism/theocracy). Lemmy tends to lean communist which according to Freidrich Engels is authoritarian. Funny enough democratic socialism is actually liberal by this definition.
This woman is in her 90s and has obviously lost touch with reality like most 90 year olds. I would love to hear an argument againest the definition of liberalism over these ad hominem attacks on the elderly.
I’ll let JT explain.
That last line in the video. That's exactly what happens when they finally realize you caught them in the racist/revisionist shit. They go on the attack with something absolutely inane.
She has troubling coping with not being the one directing the narrative.
Richard Pryor was hilarious.
I grew up in the 70's, but was well into my adulthood before I realized he called out things like in OP pretty often.
Here he is telling us what's what about the cops back in 1979, with a quick line in the middle about how white people don't know what the cops do.
And an entire bit that sounds like it could have been written last year.
And an SNL skit I just saw for the first time that had me rolling.
Now I need to go get my hands on some of his old albums. 😁
That second clip hits hard. He starts to get into the cycle of violence, and the stress of being black; either intentionally or just by observation.
I watched a 1976 Pryor stand-up in 2020 and I couldn't laugh at all. The country was reeling over the murder of George Floyd and Pryor's jokes were all about police officers murdering black people. That's when it finally hit me that despite all the outward progress we've made, the exact same problems are plaguing BPOC still, 47 years later. Like what in the actual fuck? I guess his audience laughed because of the shock value of it, nobody before him had the courage to outright say the things he was saying, but watching it 47 years later while the exact same problems are happening wasn't funny, it was depressing and infuriating.
