Shotgun Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Facebook must have an entire department of staff working feverishly to remove any images related to Christmas, bacon rolls, British soldiers, Union Flags, American Flags, complimentary comments about God, poppies. Maybe in the same building as the ones stealing your pictures of what you had for lunch. Bloody leftists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked. “Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother. “What happened to the carpet?” she asked. “The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response. Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles. “Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.” “Where’s the water?” asked Greta. “Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it” “Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish. “Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . . “What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting. "Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.” “How so, raw?” inquired Greta. “Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore. “But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta. “Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.” “What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.” “Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.” This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet. Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized. Most of that involves using oil products for materials which afaik is a process that doesn't release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, unlike burning coal or petrol. Could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong. Also could be wrong, but I don't think yon Greta lassie is a hardcore opponent of anything created by the petrochemical industry. Still, I'm sure that strawman feels thoroughly chastened about its youthful naivety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be a common belief among racists; people are pretending to be disgusted with their views as part of some bizarre game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stand up for racial equality, you're a social justice warrior looking for attention. If you're angry about police in Britain killing black people then you're a hypocrite because you aren't protesting the Somalian government killing their citizens. If you're protesting the Somalian government killing their citizens then why don't you care about what's happening in your own country? But if you spread ignorant, racist hate speech then you're just saying what most people don't have the courage to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that Kevin Bridges joke about the guy on the train assuming you're also a scumbag and sitting further away from someone of a different ethnicity wearing a backpack. I also find it particularly interesting the people who send me racist "memes" or videos over Fb Messenger, assuming I'm also a racist I guess. Firstly, I'd love to know the real origins of this and secondly, it's just not funny, as in racism aside for a brief moment, it's not comical in any way. I've deleted a few people from Fb recently because of it and more recently challenged a relative on it indicating "that's racist I'd rather not receive that" and in return I got "It's a just a laugh, they'll be doing the same to us" I couldn't even be arsed continuing the conversation after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting those words on top of a racist flag makes it pretty clear it's more a message of folk hating black people rather than liking their white skin.

DiegoDiego Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I don't think there's anything wrong with "being proud to be white". I don't think there's anything wrong, per se, but it is a bit weird. It's like saying I'm proud to have brown eyes; what's there to be proud of? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting those words on a racist flag make it clear what his intentions are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
