Split New York City Mayoral Race

[pood]

Oh look, the MAGA right wing has a huge freakout over Mahmdani eating with this hands!

 

[pood]

… hot dogs, watermelon, potato chips, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, raisins, figs, pistachios, cashews, chips and salsa … yes, I can see Derec desperately stabbing at a chip with his fork and trying to maneuver it into the salsa … on second thought, I doubt he eats salsa.

 

[Derec]

Christ, you are such a … never mind.

Never mind what?

Hey, Derec, do you eat popcorn with a knife and fork?

LMAO. Reminds me of this.

But no, rice biryani is very different than popcorn.

How about pizza?

Seriously though, depends on the pizza. For New York style, I'm with Darcey.

Fried chicken?

It has bones, so you need to use your fingers. After all, it's fingerlicking good. But would you eat fried chicken (or even worse, wings) with your fingers during an interview? For what? To make some point about how your politics are inspired by you growing up in the South, even though you lived in a posh area of NYC since you were seven?
Again, dude was cosplaying being a third worlder to justify his third world politics, as he himself says in the video.

 

[Derec]

My schools weren't terribly posh, but they were pretty upscale.
Yeah, we ate our French fries with our hands. It's the culture around here. Never occurred to anyone to eat them any other way.
Tom

French fries are not rice.

 

[Derec]

on second thought, I doubt he eats salsa.

Why?

OK, let’s begin our cough/uncouth list — from the point of view of whitebread world, naturally.

Couth: Eating fries (and white bread for that matter) with your fingers.

Uncouth: Eating rice with your fingers.

 

[Derec]

But no, no, this won’t do for whitebread Derec,

True.
Growing up in NYC over 60 years ago, I was taught the proper way to eat french fries was with a fork. Pizza as well.

Those manners didn’t stick with me. When we moved to St Louis, they dissipated.

I'll reiterate:

I have near zero interest in the NYC mayoral election race.
But I've gotta say,
If the worst things Derec can come up with are a vague dismissal of a vague concept like "global intifada" and eating rice with his hands, and overblown campaign promises, Mandani is probably an excellent choice.

Here are what seem to be some white Anglo-Christian American customs: Displacing and exterminating natives to take their land,

Has existed throughout human history, incuding among so-called "natives". And even non-human animals fight over territory.

enslaving dark-skinned people,

Also something not limited to "white Anglo-Christians", including among Africans themselves. In fact, the west abolished slavery long before the "brown Arabo-Islamic" countries you think are so morally superior got around to it.

fighting endless wars,

Also something hardly limited to "white Anglo-Christians" throughout history.

bombing the fuck out of others to keep the financial elites in gravy.

More like bombing nuclear sites controlled by an Islamofascist theocracy in order to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons. To cite one recent example.

I don’t think the Muslims can compete with that. They’re just pikers.

What are you babbling about? Muslims waged warfare against everybody from the days of Mohammed to this day. They held African slaves, and in fact, slavery was only abolished in most of the Arab/Muslim world in the 20th century. They are routinely bombing people they disagree with.
Twenty killed in suicide bombing at Damascus church
This happened just this June. And yet, you still think Muslims are somehow morally superior to "white Anglo-Christians". SMH.

French fries are often greasy, so I guess it's okay to get your hands greasy when you eat fries. At least rice isn't greasy, at least the rice I eat, even if I do choose to use a fork to eat it. I have used my fingers to eat some things that might not be traditionally eaten with fingers like for example, I sometimes eat steamed broccoli with my fingers.

And, somebody needs to tell Derec that slitting an animals' throat to kill it for food is more humane that the way factory farms raise and kill their food. Many years ago, I met a dog groomer who also raised some sheep to eat. I asked her how they were slaughtered. She explained that she slit their throats herself because it was the most humane way to kill them. It was done quickly and they didn't have to wait in long lines in slaughter houses. I've read several years ago that cattle waiting to be slaughtered are often terrified as they know what's coming and sometimes they aren't killed right away, so they suffer needlessly. Slitting an animal's throat, especially one that you raised yourself in an open pasture, does sound more humane. And just to be clear, the woman was a blond American and. her way of raising and killing her animals for meat had nothing to do with any religious ritual. It's best not to post something that you know nothing about.

I eat a mostly plant based diet with meat a few times a week. it's healthier and better for the environment. I prefer it as well, but I need some meat as I'm prone to anemia. No judgement. Just a suggestion for healthier living.

https://forward.com/opinion/369941/the-hypocrisy-of-ritual-slaughter-bans/

A widely supported bill in the Belgian region will ban versions of traditional Jewish and Muslim ritual slaughter. These attacks on Halal and Kosher meat are unfortunately not isolated and are occurring with more frequency around the world. Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland and other European countries and jurisdictions prohibit traditional slaughter with laws requiring that animals be stunned before they are killed.

Ritual slaughter ban legislation is often passed under the guise of animal welfare concerns. The claim is that stunning animals with a bolt before slaughter is more humane than a quick cut to the throat. Of course this isn’t true. In fact, a Veterinary Record report assessing the “neurophysiological studied relevant to the assessment of pain” concluded that ritual slaughter is a “painless and humane method.”

 

[Derec]

Such pathetic, bigoted mewling. Why does it bother you if he eats with his hands?
He was born in Kampala, Uganda, and spent a year in Cape Town before moving to the U.S.

He has lived in NYC since he was 7. But in that video he pretends to have grown up in the third world to justify his third world politics on issues such as Islam, Palestine and socialism.

But I noticed you have not commented on that second video I posted. The video where he explicitly states that he is unapologetic about his socialism and that one of his goals is to "seize the means of production"?
I will post it again:

Will you comment on it now, or will you just babble about cheap shawarma?

 

[pood]

I’m increasingly uncomfortable with eating animals, not just because of the climate-change damages doing so imposes on the environment, but because non-human animals are all clearly sentient with feelings including fear and pain.

It now seems to be an established case that fish suffer horribly from being hooked and then being dragged out of the water to slowly suffocate. Even goldfish, it has been shown, can recognize individual humans. Many fish are highly intelligent social animals with family and friends.

Why in the everliving fuck would new workers go to the trouble of making a pizza variety that is clearly supposed to be folded in half and eaten like a hot dog with a fork?

Did you learn to eat hot dogs with a fork too, you heathen?

Hey, Derec, do you eat popcorn with a knife and fork?



... Do you cut strawberries up with a knife and fork?

I get my fill of Derec just listening to the other half of a conversation -- no need to click and put him on "speaker-phone."
I'm sure he didn't mention watermelons -- that racist meme is too well known -- but he still manages to out-deplorable the regular "Deplorable" MAGATs. He doesn't mind stupidity, treason, violating constitutional oaths, revealing secrets to our enemies, etc. Instead he wants to focus on the REAL problems facing America -- eating with fingers and drinking with paper straws. He bloviates like a constipated incel when a cute unmarried Democrat has a boyfriend, but has no problem with Lauren Boebert giving a noisy hand-job in a public theater. Can you imagine what his reaction would be if a Democratic politician had the personality or intelligence of Boebert or any of the Foxettes in Trump's cabinet?

Listening to just half the conversation is perfect! I can join in the laughter but don't need to read the embittered insults we're laughing at.

 

[pood]

Tomorrow I think I’ll get the falafel pita or plate from one of the local halal carts. Since falafel is vegan, that helps me reduce meat intake, and plus, Derec can’t bitch about ritual halal slaughter or imám prayers, though of course it will tick him off that I am supporting my wonderful halal vendors.

Hot dogs in a bun, no. Hot dogs sans bun, yes.

Derec probably cuts up cookies with a couth knife and fork, or eats them with a spoon.
