As always, I think the language about 'skin color' is intentionally-evil rhetoric. The question is about ancestry, genetics, and shared culture; of which skin color is an exceedingly minor and unreliable indicator.
A huge number of leftists sincerely believe that racism is about skin color and frankly I think the only responsible thing to do is push back on that whenever it comes up.

Not benign to whom? I think it's extremely benign for western civilization.

Oh man I didn't realize that was Cleese. Just scrolled past what I thought was another twitter anon rehashing a well-tread point.

Justice? Not sure if that's granular enough.
Re: democracy in general, I don't think any of the American Founding Fathers would disagree. In fact they'd be greatly disturbed that we're even talking in terms of democracy rather than republic, and were well-aware that universal suffrage would be a fatal mistake.

I'm asking myself whether, if elected President, Kamala would have admitted she finds anything silly about this if asked. Can't know, of course, but I suspect not.

Enrolling in clown school is the least questionable decision I see in this story.

Will we ever get the truth about the origins of Covid?
I've taken the time to review the below thread and am pretty sure the answer is "no".
It’s amazing how far many of us have gone since only 20 years ago and believing we could Democratize the world to now I would not consider myself a believer of Democracy in Germany because of the simply fact that ethnic Germans in half a generation lost the ability to control their own politics.
My thoughts as well. Sweden is also in this situation and several others are rushing headlong into it.
I've been trying for a while to think of any mistakes nations have made of the same magnitude, throughout history. Vortigern hiring the Saxons might be an instructive one.
It's so weird to me, though fitting in retrospect, that sanctimonious grundyism is what's finally killing Europe. Old ladies tutting reproachfully at anyone who makes non-socially-approved arguments turns out to be an existential threat. Or perhaps it's just that the men have forgotten God and their own right place in the world.

I just made a dedicated keybind on my moonlander keyboard. I have a bunch of neat special purpose keys. :)

Valheim has a very big world and most of it is entirely useless and empty. Lonely place though.

Care to elaborate?
I am not a priest, but my understanding is that demonic 'possession' is a gradual process with much consent involved. It's a long slope of choosing to conform to evil urges until one is remade in the shape of them and no longer seeks to resist.
Addiction is probably a handy parallel to consider. The people who are into gooning are excellent examples of what possession looks like. Surrendering their agency to things that want to hurt them until it's habitual and they will act even against their own interests, not even wanting to stop any more.
Once aware of this dynamic I expect that most of us can find examples in our own lives. Local minima that seem to be pulling us in and must be resisted.
First I've heard of this, and it sounds like I wasn't missing out. What a pity.
