This is probably the worst I've ever come across
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1982825872

Any leftists here who, like the girl in OP's image, have been sufficiently brainwashed to see race and gender lurking behind every point of tension? It seems that the universities and the media have drummed up some omnipresent racist right-wing caricature that teeters on the edge of global domination and convinces otherwise normal people that unless they get passionately worked up over identity politics a fascist plague will engulf the entire globe. These people, usually rich, replete with white guilt, turn into leftists, poisoning their own souls while serving the needs of corrupt politicians. I sit back in amazement how otherwise normal people, that I've known for years, at some point become so detached from reality via left wing politics that they reach the point of unrelenting hatred of all those that disagree with them, including long time friends, and defend leftist ideals that fly in the face of common sense and everything we were taught growing up.

Like just imagine believing all women. Imagine aborting a baby within minutes before it's supposed to be born. Imagine supporting open borders and a welfare state without pondering the horrible effects such policies can have. Just imagine.

Woah man you're so fucking profound it's not like this talking point has been repeated by le epic gamergate kekistanis for 5 years now. Why don't you turn off Sargon and Ben Shapiro videos and read some actual leftist literature? Cause, I'll let you in on a little secret buddy, college students throughout history have always been bumptious faggots who support left-wing causes; they aren't representative of the left.
Since by admitting you give a shit about abortion you revealed yourself to be a burger let's just take a look at how the "leftist indoctrination" is holding up in your country. The biggest news station (Fox) is right wing, the biggest radio host is right wing, the president is right wing, the house is right wing, both major parties are right wing/centre right, most of the most prominent political youtubers are right wing, you have states considering the death penalty for abortion, states that will not show a gay wedding scene on kids TV, insanely high religiosity compared to Europe, states that specifically try to make it harder for blacks to vote, etc

Dirty dumb YANKOID SCUM!

My favourite reviews are those 1-star ones of classic literature in which the reviewer has to insist that they "understand" why a work is part of the literary canon, how it's seen as a classic, and why it's so important to this day - just to cover their backs, make sure they can't be accused of being an idiot - then go on to lambast the thing for doing absolutely nothing right.

I knew a guy like that in school, it's literally autism. He made a section in our schools Wikipedia page for himself

>>13397389
Yes, anon? The point is that these people can't express their opinion, whether it's that of an idiot or an intellectual, without adding a huge disclaimer that they "totally" get why the book is an important classic still read by many, why it's still spoken about today.

>>13397389
It would stand to reason that they are doing exactly what you are claiming they do not, ie conforming, by claiming that they understand why the work is part of the Canon

>t. triggered leftoid
Fox is literally the only tv channel that is right wing, all the others are left wing, including otherwise "apolitical" shows, comedians, etc. All of Hollywood is viciously anti right wing. All the major tech companies are leftist and actively purge conservatives from their platforms. The religiosity is not even remotely high in this country with Christians being regularly mocked on TV and by main stream politicians. All universities, with the exception of maybe a handful, are hyper left wing. Nobody listens to radio and I have no idea what youtubers you're talking about.

>States that specifically try to make it harder for blacks to vote
Okay I was taking you kind of seriously up until the statement except you've proved that you're exactly the kind of brainwashed leftists I was talking about. Only in America, where race is heavily politicized, can requiring a voter ID be considered racist. I'm sure wanting no voter ID has nothing to do with sanctuary city policies, anti-border policies, calls for abolishing ice, yes nothing to do with wanting illegal votes. It has to do with caring about "POC" who are too stupid to figure out how to get an ID but should be able to vote. Keep telling yourself that.

>>13396438
Seems she actually understood the conceit of the movie so that's theorically a good review.

Does anyone knows how to find the one where the reviewer complains that since she's college educated and smart she should understand the book, and if it didn't it's the author fault? When it was posted some anon answered "what a terrible person", and that was really the vibe of the review. Usually the goodreads crowd sounds merely stupid, not narcissistic.

>>13397406

The things he mentioned all came from leftist leaders dude.

>>13396678
He's a complete bugman but in fairness a lot of the guys reviewed there are lackluster. He's not wrong to say Taine is second-rate, see also how other much superior right wing writers (iirc Bloy et Péguy, separately) BTFO Drumont. De Maistre and Maurras are the really towering figures in that bunch, although Barrès is also a remarkable writer of prose.

But I like this extract a lot:
"the one consistent political position in all his writings is hatred of Germany. His position is precarious, but not without a certain rigor. He hated the same things that the Nazis did – democracy, the republic, certain kinds of socialism, Jews, and individualism. But whereas the Nazis were claiming that democracy was foreign to the spirit of Germany, being a foreign import from Jerusalem and Paris, Maurras was saying the same thing, only blamed Jerusalem and those Teutonic forests where Tacitus had first descried the seeds of a rough Germanic liberty. The Nazis claimed that Marxism was Jewish, Maurras claimed it was both Jewish and German. "

Quite reminding of the retarded shit-flinging on /lit/

Pic related my friend. The supreme court agreed that the law targeted African Americans with "surgical precision" and was discriminatory.

>>13397824
>Only in America, where race is heavily politicized, can requiring a voter ID be considered racist.

Not him, but it's not only about ID (and probably not about ID at all), and more about locations of poll booth, the way districts are redrawn to match changing census, and the general logistics of voting. Those are always hotly contested issues in any democracy, and the US has had a tradition of covertly but purposely disincentivizing people to vote since the time of Jefferson.

Wait, how is demanding identification from voters racist? Where I'm from you need to be able to show identification to be able to vote at all. One election I realised that my ID was out of date by a few weeks just before the vote, and had to bring my father to vouch for my identity.

>>13398039

What the fuck do you think left, right and center mean?

>>13398044
If black people tend not to have official ID for whatever reasons, demanding the specific thing black people tend not to have is a little racist

>>13397824
There was some bitching about how Queensland (in Australia) requiring ID was an attempt at suppressing aboriginal votes. I don't really get how because you can get an ID for free and voting is mandatory in this country.

>goodreads
LAMO

>>13398069
Maybe they should get a fucking ID then. Black people are predominantly urban, so it's not like if they don't have a car they typically have to walk 20 miles on the backroads to the nearest BMV.

>>13398069
>>13398267
I guess it depends on how hard and how common it is to get an ID in your country. In mine everyone has one so it's a moot point. Perhaps in the US you have to call a day off work and drive 8 hours to the next Identification Bureau and sit in line for 2 more hours and pay a 30 dollars stipend.
That's how it would happens in the image of the US I have in my head anyway (please don't destroy it).

>>13398069
>>13398267
>>13398283
Also the question is, if it wasn't demanded before, why demand it now? (though why it wasn't demanded before is beyond me)

>>13398283
When I got my driver's license renewed I went in on a saturday, sat for 15 minutes, paid $20 and only had to bring a piece of mail, my SSID, birth certificate, and a piece of mail. It's nothing complicated or particularly time consuming and if you can't get and file basic documents to prove your identity you're probably too dumb to vote.

>>13397913
He seems like a nice guy, if wordy and overenthusiastic. I gives off a guys-this-is-legit-blowing-my-mind vibe, not a guys-look-at-me-I'm-an-intellectual vibe.

>>13398069
>demanding the specific thing black people tend not to have is a little racist
No. It's common sense to prevent voter fraud, if the population with one standard deviation less of IQ scores is unable to fullfil very basic requirements to function as a citizen it's their fault.

Is it even legal to not carry an ID in the US?

>>13398306
Perhaps it has something to do with government control? Americans seems to have this (understandible in principle but often overblown in practice) fear of central government that would lead them to be distrustful of any state-mandated means of identification.

But I'm only trying to understand here. Why were ID not required to vote until now? And when was it changed? Granted if it was changed shortly before the vote it's a bit suspicious, particularly if other stats have no need for it.

>>13398302
>if it wasn't demanded before, why demand it now?
Because an issue existing in the past is not an argument against solving that issue?

>>13398315
>>13398314
Don't need ID in my country either.
If the regulation was people who listen to hiphop couldn't vote, you could equally argue that black people could stop listening to hip hop if they wanted to vote. It would still be a racist policy designed to stop black people voting

>>13398069
So? Financial laws probably hit Jews more often, computer fraud hits Indians, certain drug laws hit whitey or blacky depending...
In the end you just realise this is a function of your demographic, not a conspiracy to hold you down.
Every civilised country in the word requires voter ID.

>>13398327
Nah. Discriminating based on immutable properties may be racist, but when you go further and say discriminating based on choices or circumstances is too you get into some very weird territory. Is murder being illegal racist because % blacks do 52%? The idea is absurd

>>13398494
Most people would disagree with you. Another example would be lighter sentences for powder cocaine (mainly used by whites) than for crack (mainly used by blacks). While of course it's a choice by all concerned, the purpose of the legislation is to discriminate against blacks.
Or historically, and to move away from the race thing, the qualification for voting in Britain used to be property ownership. You could argue that the working class could just buy some property, but the intention and purpose of the law was to disenfranchise the working class. Same with voter ID laws

>>13398505
What's wrong with disenfranchising the lower class exactly? Even most middle-class people based on party loyalty or the politicians' personal charisma. The more you restrict it the higher the share of people who actually vote based on the issues will become.

>>13398532
>What's wrong with disenfranchising the lower class exactly?
I... most people are working class. Upsetting and marginalizing most people undermines stability. Stability is important because if a state is unstable all the rich elites get their fucking heads cut off.
Also the issues rich people tend to vote on are the ones that directly impact their personal wealth. Basing policy on what personally helps the top 1-10% of wealthy people is not good for a country.

>>13398532
>people in the higher classes vote based on issue
>not on party loyalty and charisma
I'm afraid those are of the things that transcend economical classes.Rich people are just are guilty of it as poor people.
Note that party loyalty and charisma also often matter for effective ruling.

>>13397965
>CNN centre-right
You're literally delusional.

>That pic related
Dude who cares what a judge says. Use your own goddamn brain. If you think the reason the same people who want open borders don't want to require voter ID at polls is because of their love for black people then you're free to believe that. The default common sense position of most rational people is that voter ID should be required to prevent election fraud.

>>13398044
Read the supreme court report if you want. This is from the NY Times:


>The court found that all five restrictions “disproportionately affected African-Americans.” The law’s voter identification provision, for instance, “retained only those types of photo ID disproportionately held by whites and excluded those disproportionately held by African-Americans.”

>That was the case, the court said, even though the state had “failed to identify even a single individual who has ever been charged with committing in-person voter fraud in North Carolina.”

>The court also found that the early voting restrictions had a much larger effect on black voters, who “disproportionately used the first seven days of early voting.” The law, the court said, eliminated one of two “souls to the polls” Sundays, when black churches provided rides to polling places.

>>13398551
>>13398554
Then how about if we restrict it based on intelligence rather than income by having people fill out a paper before voting that tests if the person isn't a complete retard. Oh wait the southern states used to do that but that was deemed "racist" aswell

>>13398568
>You're literally delusional.
I'm guessing you think the Democratic Party is not right wing either? Kek.
>don't want to require voter ID at polls is because of their love for black people then you're free to believe that.
The laws were intentionally made to stop black people from voting. You can have voter ID laws that don't disproportionately affect black people, if you want.
Also there have been no recorded cases of in-person voter fraud in NC.

>>13398327
Retard. You act as if identification, such as a driver's license, is some arbitrarily picked thing that only black people don't have that serves no practical purpose in preventing voter fraud. You're literally arguing that black people are too stupid to get an ID, and black people realize this is exactly what you're arguing.

There are hundreds of videos circulating the web that show a reporter of some sort going into the "hood" and asking black people if it's racist to ask them to show ID before voting. I've literally never once seen an actual impoverished black person say no. It's only the "well-educated" liberals that agree that it's racist. It's obvious why they don't want voter ID requirements. Illegal. Votes.

You are legitimately retarded. In America the upper classes vote largely in self-interest, like everyone else. This is why we don't have a single school district because rich people don't want their taxes going to fund schools in poor communities. What kind of abject retard do you have to be to say that the people who already hold most of the power in society should be the only ones who get vote? as if that won't fuck over poor people?

>>13397913
>please think I am well spoken, oh induably so as to ascertain the benevolence of mine major intellect, a priori nig nigga nigger niggering

>>13398596
Reminder that North Carolina could not provide a SINGLE instance of in-person voter fraud.
Remind that the people who concocted this law literally looked at statistics for how black people vote and tried to make that type of voting illegal.

I guess it's not "you cant vote if you have black skin" so it's not racist?

>>13398593
Are you intentionally playing dumb? There are in effect two parties in the US. The democrats, which are referred to as "left-wing," and Republicans, referred to as "right-wing." CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, all major media outlets except Fox serve as propaganda arms of the Democrats. Did you really not understand what I was talking about?

The bill in NC literally just requires a driver's license or some other form of photo ID. That's it. Like just go get a license. It's that easy. Am I missing something here.

>The appeals court ruling struck down five parts of the law: its voter ID requirements, a rollback of early voting to 10 days from 17, an elimination of same-day registration and of preregistration of some teenagers, and its ban on counting votes cast in the wrong precinct.

The Legislature, however, exempted absentee voting from the photo ID requirement.

Requiring an ID to drive and laws against stealing are blind to race. You get caught stealing or driving without a license, and you go to jail, no matter what colour you are.
However let's create a law that a) bans the driving of cars that black people disproportionately drive, b) shuts down organisations in the black community meant to help people with finances to buy cars, c) makes licenses that black people disproportionately hold illegal d) eliminates certain types of registration that black people disproportionately use to buy cars e) arbitrarily rolls back the time you have to collect your car because it is known that black people collect cars at certain times

Then, yeah, you could conclude that the progenitors of those laws don't want black people driving cars.

It's quite funny how people frame this as NC trying to get illegals to vote. North Carolina, a red state, wants illegals to vote? No; the point was that black people are likely to vote democrat, and NC didn't want that.

>>13398743
Literally every law disproportionately effects black people statistically. Why can you argue voter ID laws are racist because they effect blacks disproportionately while all other laws aren't? Is requiring a driver's license to vote racist, and if so then what other types of voter ID would you require that is fairer to black people? Or are you arguing for the abolishment of all voter ID altogether?

>>13398805
>Literally every law disproportionately effects black people statistically.
No, literally any law affects some ethnic group disproportionately, everything else would be a cosmic coincidence or the law would be irrelevant.
It isn't just blacks, and in some crimes they are underrepresented (just not the kind of crime people usually care about, I think taxfraud is an example, not 100% sure though).

>>13398801
Even ignoring the fact that neocon totally does those things, that's not right wing necessarily means. You're a traditionalist, or perhaps a fascist idk. So stop twisting words and just say 'there's never been a traditionalist party elected'. Be honest.

If you knew stuff, you'd know that those test were deliberately written ambiguously so you could always fail someone, and you didn't have to take them if you could cite a grandfather who was eligible to vote, again designed on purpose to disenfranchise blacks

>>13398883
I live in a state that used to have those literacy tests. It was made to intentionally be very confusing and easy to accidentally fuck up, and if you fucked up a single thing even slightly, you lost your chance to vote.
It wasn't considered racist because it was too hard and only black people couldn't pass it, it was considered racist because you only had to take it if your family couldn't vote before you (the origin of the term "grandfathered in," because the rule was that if your grandfather could vote, you didn't have to take the test). The tests were shitty enough that the majority of people who took them failed them, but the policy was racist because only black people were required to take them. It was also a bit shitty to expect black people to be fully educated on the same level as whites in the generation immediately after centuries of slavery, but that's a bit murkier.
Now I actually don't think voter ID laws are racist, I think they're necessary. My belief is that the government should require ID to vote but put a lot of effort into making it as simple as possible to get those IDs, and the second part is where states that try to implement it frequently fuck up because they'll "accidentally" only set up shop in affluent white neighborhoods and shit like that.
Basically in concept I think voter ID laws are a very good thing, but it's dishonest to pretend they can't be executed in terrible targeted ways.

>>13399050
>I neither know nor care

The reason it wasn't demanded before was to allow democrat machines to commit widespread voter fraud. The reason why it is opposed now is because it would stop (or at least hinder) said voter fraud.

>>13399172
Reread my post, I explicitly denied the thing you said I acknowledged
>that's not right wing necessarily means
Besides, even if I concede what you say, which I don't, that seems like a fallacy. What if there've been several RW governments post-45, and they just failed to 'protect the ethnic makeup' of a country? What does that even mean? Why do whites have to 75 as opposed to 60 percent to be 'protected'? Failing in (what you personally consider to be) their task doesn't necessarily mean they're not the thing they say they are. It's just an excuse on your part to claim your ideology hasn't been tried yet, and should.

>>13398551
>Upsetting and marginalizing most people undermines stability.
Slavery and caste systems (with warrior class on top) are far more stable politically - compared to various kinds of liberal, but mercurous power systems of "equality" where money buys you a rank. But such slave systems are not practiced anymore because slavery is not market efficient post industrial revolution, slave polities no longer competetive to survive when rest of the market is liberal, and more productive.

Liberal markets and supply chains tend to have destabilizing effect (free spinning wheel of technological progress). Yet it is also self sustaining until the very last moment it gets unhinged where relatively small event shatters it all in the end (liberal collapses started with bronze age, then greece, then rome, then ...).

>>13397965

The point is that laws banning murder, drugs, etc. are there to ban murder and drugs, not to target any minority group.
The voter ID laws in NC, and this is agreed upon universally by even the supreme court, were specifically concocted to stop black people from voting. They literally looked at the statistics of how black people go about voting and made those methods illegal.

That's a very nice strawman. The court gave 5 reasons why the law was harmful to black people. Not one of them was "blacks are too dumb to get a driving license". I mean they literally excluded the types of ID's that black people disproportionately had. They saw that black people disproportionately used the first seven days of early voting, and so rolled it back by seven days.

The SUPREME COURT -- not some radical leftist antifa organisation, not the ADL -- said that the law INTENTIONALLY targeted black people with "SURGICAL PRECISION".

>look up one of my favorite children's books, a story about a girl becoming a knight through hard work, and despite obstacles in her way, such as traditionalism, sexism, assholes, etc.

>moral of story: "if you work really, really hard, and don't give up, even if everyone tells you you can't, you can succeed"

one star review by some screeching harpy about how horrible it is that books are teaching young girls that they can succeed because men don't like strong women.

well, she's not WRONG... monsters do represent cultural fears. and by looking at movie adversaries by decade, you can see the topics that were important to the culture at the time. for example, that whole fucking thing with all those goddamn jason borne thrillers. these things come in waves for a reason.

what does "right wing" mean? you don't like it?

>>13398283
Pretty sure every state that requires ID is also required to provide them for free since the constitution requires it.

>>13398327
So any law that effects one population more than another is racist? That's a hell of a rabbit hole.

Those are all about nuances to a specific law, not about the principle of requiring ID to vote. I think that for most of us euros it's just the principle of being allowed to vote without ID that's really absurd and primitive, where we don't care about some specific hillbilly law stopping blacks from busing to the poll station on a specific day.
