    Franz Ferdinand was practically asking for it.

    He rolled through Sarajevo in an open-top convertible - in a city full of anti-Austrian rage - and the exact parade route was published in the paper, like a personal invitation to The Black Hand.

    One assassin lobbed a grenade at his car, but it bounced off and blew up the vehicle behind him.

    Did they cancel the visit? Nope. Later that day, they decided to visit the wounded - by driving the same route. After a wrong turn, the car stalled right in front of Gavrilo Princip, who didn’t miss his second chance. He just stepped forward and pulled the trigger.

    No, it really isn’t.

    You have next to zero impact on anything at an individual level. These guys can literally buy a small country if they wanted to.

    Stereotypically, white people who move to Japan are “nerds” in some sense. Nerds love Linux. Really nerdy Linux lovers always use a tiling WM.

    It’s only a matter of time until bro is wearing a trench coat with a cyberdeck strapped to his arm and pretending he’s in some Neotokyo fantasy. 😔

    (P.S. I am a Linux loving nerd)

    I said that I’m “a bit of an asshole”, alluding to the fact that we are not perfect and shouldn’t expect that from others.

    You’re kind of proving my point of black and white viewpoints, making a bunch of assumptions of my character based on very little information.

    It’s probably not even thought about due to chattel slavery not being a thing in Sweden. There was slavery in some of its colonies, but it was never a part of their mainland society.

    Couple that with the racial diversity of Sweden having fewer than 1% black people, there’s so little representation that any offense probably isn’t even being heard.

    Any creative expression is ultimately “art” - anyone can put out whatever they want, the responsibility is on the viewer to accept or reject it.

    For example, I really enjoy standup comedy and I’m of the mind that you can joke about anything. If you do not like the jokes a particular comedian does, you don’t have to buy tickets to the show. Simple as that.

    Aren’t you? I know I am.

    The internet is a very weird place as it seems to deal entirely in black and white, judging people by singular events rather than the entirety of their character. One wrong move and you’re cancelled.

    Dude is not a Saint, and he never claimed to be. He got famous for playing video games, not giving lectures on moral purity. Enjoy whatever content he puts out, think he’s cool, but do not put content creators on any higher a pedestal than that. At the end of the day, they’re a whole-ass human being just like you.
