But he’s already in a third world country.
Smells like fear
What a racist piece of shit.
Go back to your redneck farm you fucking hick.
Gill married Danielle D’Souza, the daughter of conservative political commentator Dinesh D’Souza, in 2017. They have two children and live in Flower Mound, Texas.
So Gill’s father and wife are okay but a foreigner with differing political opinions is crossing the line?
Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.
Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on…
Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.
Go back to the third world where you’ll have healthcare, and food is cheap, and many services are provided by the government. Go back to where medicine can be bought without 4 doctors turning their medi-square tip screen around, where self made men can become something without the financial backing of a sexual terrorist. Go back to a land of opportunity, of potential, of downtrodden poor people in need of a voice. Go back and help them rise to the top.
We’re trying to become the world’s last 3rd world country here.
Oh, I’m sorry. Which country is it again that can’t do UHC but can spend billions on blowing up rockets while people starve and or can’t find homes/shelter in this same “first world country”?
Is it India? Because that’s where Gill’s father in law, political commentator and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is from. Maybe the D’Souzas can leave and take Gill with them.
remember, the super rich are the enemy of the people, not your fellow citizens from different backgrounds
I have more in common with a homeless person in Somalia, India, or China than I do with the super rich.
No War Except Class War
It feels like this slogan is only repeated in left spaces, which then feels like a leftist version of centrists throwing trans people under the bus to chase conservatives. The people who are the primary purveyors of petty hate need to be the priority for the message before anyone on the left is going to feel like preaching tolerance for intolerance is anything but a way to smuggle bigotry into left political spaces.
Think the overt racism is bad now; it’s only going to get progressively worse.
It’s the only way the right is progressive.
He’s already there dipshit. Look around you
A country that has no national healthcare, a life-style of economic struggle and a dictator for a leader? Hmmmm.
I feel like the US is more like a Second World country. By “Second World”, I mean the countries that are more aligned to Russia than to NATO. That description now fits the US, unfortunately.
Happy cake day fellow
ex-RedditorlemmingAnd a happy cake day to you!
Best reply.
Remember the days when an openly racist comment like this would mean the end of your political career?
For Republicans it actually boosts their poll numbers.
People want to be openly racist again. That’s what MAGA really means.
People want to be openly racist again. That’s what MAGA really means.
And on this one should think a bit further and realize that any action causes a reaction.
Maybe outright socially punishing racism shouldn’t have been the focus, and instead more effort should have been spent making sure more people know how, well, genetics work and also dream of stuff not involving racial difference, like future space travel or peaceful united humanity, that kind of thing. So that they’d make their own conclusions and have their own wishes.
So - they are tired of “the establishment” not making anything better, and that means they are also tired of some rules of public decency associated with that establishment. One of the reasons MAGA activism looks so gross - they want it to look gross. Because “gross” is not like that picture of “respectable politics”, so already better.
In general studying psychology of people who are your opponents is beneficial. And especially hard when you can’t make yourself respect them.
You lost me at “not socially punishing racism”.
Sorry but GTFOH with your racism apologism.
Republicans are also cutting education so fat chance getting these people educated also.
And that’s why you deserve whatever you get, because you are not even capable of properly reading a thought wiser than your whole fucking life, without even any pressure being put on you.
I said that if you punish people, they don’t go all “sorry uncle, I won’t do that again”, they go all “fuck you motherfucker, I’m getting a gun”. Is that clear?
So punishing anyone anywhere is a bad idea by default, there are very specific cases when there’s no better solution. Mostly when the other side can only be stopped by force.
Nothing quite like logging onto lemmy and reading the most “if minorities were nicer then people would be less racist” victim blaming comment. No, there is no world in which minorities rolling over and gently teaching misguided racists gets them equal rights. We have a systemic issue in the US where the right has been defunding education and pushing vitriolic rhetoric for decades. Minorities should not need to prove their humanity at every turn just to stay alive, nevertheless participate in politics.
Why did you type all that instead of actually reading my comment?
I mean, this is the best kind of illustration I could get for education allowing people to make right decisions and against pressure to behave.
You clearly lack said education and apparently think you can apply pressure.
Nothing I said has anything to do with minorities.
It’s right up there with “if you stopped acting so gay you wouldn’t get bullied”
Thank you for confirming that Star Trek fans are still incapable of reading a text.
Right? I can’t believe this person seriously responded to my comment with that bullshit. And people are upvoting him.
You can’t fucking read!
Right, chase all racists back under their rock for another generation. They are openly declaring they do not wish to participate in our society when they speak that way.
They can chase you, idiot! Racists and other kinds of such are always the majority of people actually caring to apply force.
They are now assraping your country because they were chased under a rock for a generation. That’s the whole bloody reason!
What are you even saying? There is no statement in your statement.
Were anti-lynching laws a mistake? Was assertive anti-racist education a mistake?
It sounds to me as if you advocate capitulation.
Or a punch in the face?
or a shot to the head?
punch to the side of the head, I mean, obviously
Happy cake day.
Fingers crossed it’s extinction burst behavior.
Republican Representative Brandon Gill has told New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to “go back to the Third World” in response to a video of him eating with his hands.
I guess this asshole has never eaten a burger, chicken, hot dog etc. Fucking racist piece of shit.
I might start eating Doritos with a fork and knife just to be extra “civilized”.
Brandon Gill does, in fact, look like the kind of person who would eat a burger with a knife and fork.
He eats pizza with a knife and fork… allegedly
Shovels beer nuts in his mouth like some kind of grotesque beast
And it wasn’t intended to be eaten with them from the beginning. The dry fat rim is for holding it.
Hell, I’ll eat anything with my hands if it means Americans can have universal healthcare.
I will happily eat macaroni or soup with my hands for the rest of my life if that means everyone gets Healthcare.
Straight from central casting, judging by his photo.
He’s Dinesh D’Souza’s son in law
In Russia it was impolite, actually, to eat chicken not with your hands. Can’t say why, maybe it’s the possibility of bones splitting and flying away, and maybe it’s that some of the meat remains on the bones, so some visible food gets thrown out. As a kid I would sometimes get looks (making my hands oiled and dirty I don’t like, being autistic and just because it’s inconvenient).
In any case I’m not sure someone’s eating habits affect their politics, unless demonstrating lack of basic hygiene or involving cannibalism.
scum on earth deserves to be shot
Blatant racism aside, look around at the devastation wrought by repugnantcon policies buddy. Zohran is already in a 3rd world shithole, and he has the audacity to try to make it somewhat more tolerable for those in his city.
The term is pretty racist itself, since it was created to refer to tertiary countryies in the Cold War, but soon came to simultaneously suggest those countries were lesser. Calling a failing state “3rd world” just further perpetuates that.
The majority of those countries were robbed by first world countries for centuries so anyone using the phrase without any moral reflection is intentionally not looking at the whole picture.
Zohran getting under their skin. Love to see it
