me: bo burnham’s song is fine and i like it and he is the exception to this, but in general i think a lot of white men who make jokes about white women are just making misogynistic jokes in general and then tacking ‘white’ onto it to make it seem progressive. this does not mean we shouldn’t talk about how white women are often foundational to upholding white supremacy but i am uncomfortable with white men in particular using it as an excuse to make misogynistic jokes that have nothing to do with those critiques whatsoever
a bunch of commenters who are incapable of reading comprehension: but bo burnham’s song was good and it wasn’t misogynistic!!
It also helps that he’s been victim to a very online white woman who has stalked him and created fake profiles to try and trick people into thinking they dated for years when they had never even met and she’s now a major social media influencer. Like. He not only handled the topic well but was also focusing on a very specific type of white woman and how her chronically online behavior negatively impacted his life.
And, before anyone asks, yes it is Gabby Hannah or however you spell her name.
sick of how the old prophecies always leave out key details tbh. they’re like Yea Þere Will Come Þe Yeare Of Pusseye Outte but never add (Because Ye Shall Nevere Leave Yon Abode For Feare Of Þe Ravaging Plague) it’s such bullshit.
Remember that, though the potato crop was devastated by blight, there was always enough food in Ireland to feed the people. The people simply could not afford to buy the food at the prices that Britain insisted they pay. The British were more concerned that the Irish people would get something without paying than they were about Irish people starving to death.
Don’t forget that the British also blockaded food aid from the Ottomans to Dublin, increased evictions, and mandated export of all staples except potatoes…. While also mandating that only the Irish Lumper variety be grown. A particularly bland and flaky type of potato, and highly susceptible to disease, it’s only saving graces being size and starch content
