In these politically correct times any explicit recognition of white achievement in certain areas of endeavor, of which jazz is one, is in danger of being taken as a backhanded attempt to denigrate black achievement. This is not the intent. Everyone deserves their due.

History clearly tells us that a distinct, significant, and creative white presence had existed in jazz from its early days and that black contemporaries were unhesitating in expressing mutual respect for Beiderbecke, Rollini, Teagarden, Mole, Trumbauer, Brown, Tough, Freeman, Russell, and numerous other white musicians. The true history of jazz is a depiction of cooperation, mutual admiration, cross-fertilization and the coming together all despite the segregation of the larger American society

Why wouldn't you just link to the objectives and influences of Frankfurt School? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Influences_and_early_works

Oh right,

• Transition from entrepreneurial capitalism to monopoly capitalism and imperialism
  
• Socialist labor movement grows, turns reformist
  
• Emergence of the welfare state
  
• Freudian Theory
  
• Marxist Theory
  
• Culture Theory
  
  Would it help you sleep better at night if I called it Critical Theory instead? (pay attention, because I already did)
  
  Knowledge is power. Go read a book and you will learn that pseudo-experts (a.k.a. Postmodern Intellectuals) are actually found in Social Sciences.
  
  Edit: I realized you would like to see hardcore proof and you seem to trust Wikipedia; Ever heard of Torches of Freedom?
  
  And here is Edward Bernays himself, a student of Freud, explaining where the idea came from.

I love Budget Bytes for her affordable, family-sized recipes. Most of her dishes are vegetarian because it's just cheaper than buying meat. Also, investing in a book like The Flavor Bible, Herbs and Spices, The Flavor Thesaurus, or Ratio can really help someone learning.

>Help Luna rid the world of menstruation haters! Throw tampons at them and don’t let them confiscate yours!

If you're throwing your tampons at them, what reason do they have to confiscate them? You've literally given them away.

How often do most of these MSM write articles about video games? It is remarkable how much coverage this little game garnered, and all of it very favourable for reasons beyond the realm of gaming, game play, design, etc. The value of this free advertising must've been worth tens of thousands of dollars; it even got them a book deal and a TEDx talk. It's like they all have a hive mind.

“I don’t think a guy would have made ‘Tampon Run'”. There was a game called Tampon Toss released two years before this one; a simple google search figured this out. No coverage at all. Programmer is a bloke.

War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage is a good book on how "peaceful" non-Europeans actually were.

Check out The Tenth Parallel by Eliza Griswold absolutely awesome book about the historical clash between the Christian and Islamic worlds across the globe.

Best I could find was this text book on the issue. Everything else I pulled was SJW blogs. X.x

>medicine doesnt give a fuck about women

Seems like someone has been reading Gena Corea.

I actually have a copy of this book.

I suspect vets should at least feel a connection to the animals who live, work and play with us.

Well, you're in luck!

The Observations - Very funny. It's kind of a mystery novel, as well, because there's a lot of strange goings on happening in the house that you unravel as you go. It follows a very sass-mouthed little Irish girl who decides to take a maid job in a big house on a lark, even though she knows nothing about the work, because she's trying to escape her past. Turns out the house she's now living in is just as dark and sordid as her old life was. (Takes place in Scotland, but I can't remember the time period. 1800s sometime)

The Slammerkin - This book literally has it all. Prostitutes, a prostitute pretending to be a maid, fashion, lies, lust, jealousy, murder. I can't remember if the main character is actually Irish or not, but I can't recommend this book enough. Also, this book is loosely based on a true story. (Takes place in England in the 1760s)

Alias Grace - This is a Margaret Atwood novel, so if you can't stand her way of going on, you won't like it, but I love this novel. It's about an Irish girl who worked as a maid in Canada and is serving life in prison for the murder of her employer. Another true story! (Takes place in the mid 1800s)

If this person thinks he's wrong, then it's them who don't know history. An excerpt from this book. I've never seen someone get so much flack for being right about a historical event, and no one in the gay media stands up to the queer mob to correct the record, even though it's unlikely every gay journo is ignorant of the scholarship produced on the riots (that book was widely reviewed in the gay press). More like, they're afraid to go against the grain and be vilified on Tumblr/Twitter as a white cis gay who's literally killing trans teens, or something like that.

Anyway, talk about trans POC female privilege - to lie about history like that, and have everyone (including the people you're erasing and vilifying - white cis gay men) meekly agree with you.

There is an argument that without American Capital flowing into the Entente, they wouldn't have been able to sustain the war effort, or at least would have been forced to negotiate a more equitable peace treaty. Although, until the US entry, very little money came from the US Government.
I recently read "The Deluge" by Adam Tooze (high recommendation, it's marvelous) and an interesting factoid that lodged in my brain in the first chapter was that 53% of the money that paid for the Somme Offensive came from J.P. Morgan.

"Your problems aren't as bad as theirs, so shut up" could be argued for anything anyone has a legitimate concern with in order to dismiss it with inaction. "Why do you need worker's rights like medical leave when there are children in China working in sweatshops for pennies? Your problems are petty and irrelevant!"


That said, there are many feminists concerned with the Middle East. Here's just one example:

Stable BPD here. Yes, I was abusive to my SO when I was undiagnosed and untreated. However, that doesn't mean I'm some sort of heartless evil human being.

See, the problem is, SJWs see abusers as evil. They live in a black or white world, where you're either good or evil. This is not accurate- the world is shades of grey.

It wasn't my fault I was abusive to my SO. I was extremely sick and dealing with extreme, chronic emotional pain the only way I knew how. I did not intend to hurt anyone and was reacting to what I perceived my reality to be. That also doesn't mean I didn't hurt people.

The dialectic! Things can be good and bad at the same time.

Stop Walking On Eggshells was a very difficult read and I do not recommend it to anyone. It was updated recently to be less discriminatory towards BPD (the older version perpetrated the myth that BPD is untreatable and incurable). I still don't like it much. I Hate You - Don't Leave Me and Sometimes I Act Crazy are much better alternatives.


This is the best book on BPD I've ever read.

You misinterpreted my remark. I did not ignore your source, but I admittedly did not read it in its entirety, not did I read each citation in the document. I will edit this past to include a list of useful books when I return home.

Edit: The reason why commercial banks create the illusion of an inflated monetary supply is that certain low-risk investments (demand deposits, treasury bills, and commercial paper to name a few) are grouped as cash on financial statements. Thus, if you were to add up all of the "cash" recorded in every company and individual's "balance sheet," you would find that the total exceeds that of the total monetary supply. The reason for this is that all of these assets share the same characteristics. They are highly liquid, and fungible. Distinguishing these assets from cash is immaterial in every way; it would provide no additional useful information to stakeholders, and would be costly to report. For more information on these accounting principles, consult Financial Accounting.

Commercial banks (which I will later distinguish from Investment banks) have a very well defined business model. Through a combination of equity and semi-permanent liability funding, they make loans with varying degrees of risk (E.G. car loans and mortgages). Deposits in these types of institutions can be revoked at any time, thus the name demand deposit, the deposit will be refunded on demand. These are the types of banks you are talking about. This type of financing is substantially similar to financing options available to corporations, especially commercial paper. For more information on Corporate Finance, consult Ross. For more information on treasury management, consult Bragg.

I get where you are coming from. A lot of people want to blame banks for the recent recession. I think there is an argument to be made that investment banks inadequately estimated and reported risks in certain investments. But it is important to distinguish commercial banks from investment banks. Commercial banks take deposits from customers, and provide low risk loans to generate revenue. Depositors have very little control over the investments involved, and commercial banks are required to maintain accounts at the federal reserve, and maintain a reserve of cash to refund deposits. Depositor's accounts are insured by the FDIC (in the States). These accounts are reported as cash. Investment banks take deposits from customers, and invest in a variety of financial instruments. Often, depositors maintain control over the investments made in their accounts. Investors bear the liability for any losses on their accounts, and earn any income generated by the financial instruments. Investors are not guaranteed by the FDIC. These accounts are reported as investments, not cash.

Neither of these types of accounts pull money out of the air, or generate something for nothing. Again, I think there is an argument to be made that investment bankers have, in the past, poorly reported risk exposure. There is also an argument to be made that moral hazard became involved through government institutions such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. There is not, however, room to argue that banks are some sort of magical institutions which have any special powers that you or I do not. If you want to argue that banks are bad, blame investment banks for inadequate risk disclosure. Blaming commercial banks for the recent recession is a bit like blaming Netflix for the collapse of Enron.

I've been trying to hunt down the source for the claim.

Apparently it's from this book.

I don't have a copy of the book so I can't read the quote in context, but from everything I've found online, she's talking about deaths during child births? Or something?

>“More girls were killed in the last 50 years, precisely because they were girls, than men killed in all the wars in the 20th century. More girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the 20th century.

>The equivalent of 5 jumbo jets worth of women die in labor each day... life time risk of maternal death is 1,000x higher in a poor country than in the west. That should be an international scandal.”

this is the quote from goodreads.
