How does one “give away” someone they don’t own? ---

Of course you miss the real point. The racist asshats sincerely believe the white males own the planet by divine right. Everyone and everything else is either livestock to be consumed or at best a tenant whose role is to pay tribute to the Masters. ---

Indeed, that’s why I didn’t even have to wonder if I’d gotten the right result from google as the Telegram group. I was pretty sure it wasn’t referring to White Post Farms in Australia or White Post Auto Restoration. 😉 Bonus points to Elmo for endorsing a tweet of a White Supremacy post _originally from a competing platform_ made in 2018 at a time Twitter is doing so well financially. ---

I know, but I’m not buying what they’re selling. I hate HATE, that, “Their/our women” bullshit. Women are not cattle, trading cards, status symbols, or any of the other demeaning dehumanizing crap these dick heads think they are. Women are human beings, with their own ability to determine their own destinies. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but boy does that shit piss me off. It fits right in with Dobbs and all the other bullshit about zygotes, embryos, and fetuses. ---

Most of us here hate that. Myself included. But IMO there’s a difference between hating that and being surprised they’re engaging in behavior and rhetoric you hate. I hate their behavior even as I’m utterly unsurprised by it. My lack of surprise does not constitute acceptance of it. Sometimes some folks can’t separate those issues. ---

Oh, I know. Thus my “preaching to the choir” comment. I did not in any way assume anyone here would accept that sort of garbage. I am not surprised by any of it. I am, however, disgusted, angry, and unhappy about how this stuff is still chugging along as if we should all just nod in breathless agreement with it. ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > I hate HATE, that, “Their/our women” bullshit. The irony is that these same racist incels who refer to white women as “our women” are usually the same guys who fetishize Asian (and especially Japanese) women because their only understanding of Asian culture comes from anime and porn and they’ve come up with the idea that they’re “naturally submissive” or make ideal breeding partners or some other pseudoscientific rot. You know, the guys who own a cheap katana they don’t know how to use and which would probably shatter in an actual fight but fancy themselves samurai because they watched Shogun on VHS 30 years ago.
