I don’t want to make this political
- Woman who was part of a political campaign
Because she’s still a bourgeois Venezuelan ex-pat who wants the US to rescue her country from the nasty socialists. Back home, she’s one of the whites but she’s about to learn the hard way: Caracas white != Connecticut white.
This happens so much in Rio de la Plata “Somos blancos y europeos , somos italianos” which basically means “We’re white and european, we’re italian” … but the thing they’re actually saying is “I’m not native or black, fuck those people, I’m better than them”.
When my in laws visited texas to see my brother in law though… in some rural parts, the advice was not to speak spanish.
In my state the rednecks are harder on latinos than they are on black people in general. I think it’s simply because they’re exposed to more black people.
It’s a shame travel is so expensive. A good trip or two to centroamerica just might cure their bigotry.
As an Italian, I would love all the people who think Italians are white to watch “Sacco e Vanzetti”.
“Sacco e Vanzetti”.
the synopses of their story doesn’t indicate any race issues, can you elaborate further please?
At that time Italians were not widely considered white and it was acceptable to see them as prime suspects of crimes against corporate property and terrorism. Also, everyone expected the trial and subsequent execution to go down smoothly.

If only there was an abundance of evidence that Don fucks over people when they’re no longer useful to him. This poor woman. Where did I put my tiny violin?
If only a certain everyone had told them they were hated by MAGAts and were voting against their own interests.
How is it possible to be so ignorant? If you had just paid attention to him for more than 10 seconds the past 10 years, you would have known he’s against you. It’s not that he’s shy about it or something.
Most people don’t actually think. Most people have feelings that they justify.
Thinking is actually incredibly hard. It requires that you admit you’re wrong sometimes. Justifying your existing feelings doesn’t require that of you.
I’ve never been wrong. I must be the most rational person to ever exist!
She votes with her gut and is surprised when she gets shit.
“I don’t want to make this political”
What does that even mean in this context?
Anything against Trump is seen as political to these people. She knows she is going against the narrative and knows people are going to give her shit for it.
It’s politics. By definition, it’s political, not “seen as political”
It’s only political if it’s criticizing conservatives. Anything else is just common logic.
Wouldn’t it stand to argue that almost anything to do with Trump is political considering he’s the president and the context here is Trump breaking promises made during a political campaign to persuade people to vote for him in a political election?
I’m being a bit pedantic here. It’s clear what she meant was closer to, “Here’s my controversial take, don’t come after me”. But suggesting that you’re not being political in an inherently political matter just goes to show how little these people actually think critically.
You aren’t paying attention.
You were a useful sucker and now you are fucked just like we all are.
Well, they’ll deport her before me, but yes we’re all fucked.
I gotta figure out how I can get them to deport me. I could use a change of scenery.
Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they’re spoken.
As someone with ADHD it’s possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it’s in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it’s moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this…
And it seems they use “AI” for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.
Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.
Agreed. There’s the tech to do it, so they do it. Not a moment’s thought to whether it makes the info less accessible.
2 counterpoints from down thread
No way! Leopards ate MY face!? I could never have seen that coming!
:o
The fact that she was woke colored, DEI dressed and spoke with an heavily tariffed accent should’ve clued her in, but many won’t believe anything until it happens to them and then it’s too late
Stop
captioning
every
word
individually.
It
is
absolutely
useless
and
distracting.
Especially with this bounce effect.
Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.
As someone with a hearing disability, it really irks me every time I see this comment. This style of captioning helps me understand the pacing of the dialog, something that normal subtitles cannot do, forcing me to attempt to read lips and the captions at the same time. I much prefer to just have my subtitles pop up one word at a time like this.
I’m afraid that if people keep complaining about them, they will eventually go away. Please stop with your crusade against something that legitimately helps people with disabilities. It’s incredibly selfish.
I’m not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I’m not on a “crusade”. I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn’t keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.
Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn’t really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.
I don’t mean you specifically, just people like you in general. Every single time I see a post with these kind of captions in them, someone always has to show up and make a comment just like yours. It’s frustrating.
And to answer your question: yes I would. I wish all subtitles were like this.
I get it.
It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.
Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.
You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.
This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it’s something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
Too many people are way too trusting…
I suspect people are so desperate that they are willing to believe someone even when they know the risk is very high
Another reminder that the only demographic of which the majority voted Trump are white people
I’m brown too and the fact that anyone black or brown even voted for that guy is truly embarrassing.
If you need me, I’ll be in the gas chamber with you, I’m sure. But tell me before I’m there permanently.
Sucks to suck. .You were warned, you fell for it anyway.
