Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“Now it feels like, I don’t know, like they’ve kind of—I don’t wanna say buck-broken him, but there’s definitely a lot of consultants around,” Owens continued, using a term referring to physically punishing or sexually assaulting a male slave in front of other slaves to humiliate him.

wtf. What an awful, and completely stupid, comparison. And who the hell uses this term in conversation as if it's normal?

Well, he's got a list:

  1. Bigot: Closeted Homosexual.
  2. "They've buck-broken him" - I literally never heard this until now, which means he's also a closeted gay sub. Not bottom, a sub.
  3. Putting the whole picture together? This guy watches gay humiliation bdsm and is so ashamed of it his bigotry has come full bounds where of he sees it happening in contexts outside of sex it reminds him of his shame.

While this is a nice pet theory, Candace Owens is a woman, so not really sure that being a gay man really checks out here unless Candace is also secretly trans. She is also black so the use of slavery vocabulary could be some weird race-based self-hatred or something.

Candace is also a fan of Hitler for "the economics," so that's just who she is as a person.

Right wing politics is always so hell-bent on lionising failed economic systems.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Lol Hitler's "economic miracle" was borrowing money from the Jews and the Soviets and then attempting to exterminate them so he wouldn't have to pay them back. Not really repeatable today even if it didn't involve genocide.

This is not out of the norm for right wing blather. Cucking is the most used sexual humiliation term they throw around. However they use terms they feel attack masculinity all the time. Terms for sexual humiliation, terms used towards slaves that aren't just the N word, and more than I feel like typing out, all surrounding subjugation, particularly with a sexual bent. Humiliation, at least perceived, towards their masculinity, sexuality, sexual prowess, to them, are some of the worst things they can possibly conceive happening. So you see a lot of this shit in their safe spaces.

I suspect that the Venn Diagram of right wing porn enjoyers and people who like black men on white women/cuckold porn is a circle.....

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

wouldn't be a bit surprised if most right wing, public figures, have a search history heavy on cucking, trans women, gay porn, and interracial

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Every accusation is a confession.

who the hell uses this term in conversation as if it’s normal?

Same people who use "cuck".
