This is nuts, but not completely unexpected. Stupid, stupid people! :facepalm:

"That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities," beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo tells the BBC.

"They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate white supremacist standards of beauty."

I hate this person now, and I don’t even know her…

I'm awed by both the utter frivolity of it and the way it's weaponised as a class or racial issue. They'll literally find anything... any way to victimise themselves!
That’s it! They weaponise everything. Jeans, coffee, nail varnish, doesn’t matter. Everything has some indigenous background that colonising pricks have hacked their way through the shrubbery to taint. I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff ol’ Whitey invented that others use. If I only looked hard enough to find it…

This is *not* a joke. Title and abstract of an article published in a Brazilian academic Journal:
Thinking the Anthropocene with your ass: anal
politics and the contemporary climate crisis
Pe Leal Gomes

Abstract:
This article seeks to think the contemporary climate crisis with the ass, aiming to bring together
matters of environment, gender and sexuality. To that end, I’ll present and then patch the
hegemonic climate crisis narrative, the Anthropocene’s narrative, having as horizon a critic to
the notion of Nature and the affirmation of artificiality. At the end, I would like to demonstrate
that the ass is an important environment technology to the production of dissident narratives
about the contemporary climate crisis.

Link to the original paper here:


Note: The author's own English translation has the world "ass", but the Portuguese original is "cu", which is more specific, even if still colloquial, meaning "anus". Of course, it has a sexual connotation as well.

I simply cannot believe this is real, I keep waiting for the author to come out and say "gotcha!!", but this does not seem to be the case.

Is this your Bolsonaro fan buddy you mentioned previously? They are a good case study themselves, but yes, he'll have a laugh surely. Chances are that half of the time for the wrong reasons, but still...

lol! Yes the very same guy!

For the last year he's been sending me stuff about the corruption in the Lula government. He's like a pig in shit after the first round. Is Junior going to win?
