TIL about Blockbusting, a method used during the "white flight" era, where real-estate agents would fake a black person moving into a white neighborhood to scare the rest of the residents into hastily selling their houses at a loss. They then charged high prices selling the houses to black families (en.wikipedia.org)

Keep the Poors and the Almost Poors fighting, to distract away from the people who are actually fucking them over.

Y'know, if there's a conspiracy to send Central American immigrants across the boarder to spread their insidious naptime, I'm all for it.

Man I'd be so cool with it if Mexico took over the world and they were like "all right everybody, here's how it's going to be: we're going to eat tacos, and we're going to take some fuckin' naps."

Best overlords ever.

You mean Canada's long con.

[–]PunkPenguin 26 points27 points  (8 children)

The guy you're responding to thinks he's being serious though. Not sure he's being satirical lol

[–]Alphaetus_Prime 21 points22 points  (5 children)

I just checked out his comment history. Either he's serious or he's a very dedicated troll.

[–]can_into_space 26 points27 points  (4 children)

Well of course he's serious; look at the evidence!

[–]Centaurus7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah look at his comment history he is 100% serious.

[–]M4rkyboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oswald Mosley was the leader of the British Fascists. I think the dude's being serious.

[–]MisterBergstrom 5 points6 points  (1 child)

The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires, are forcing our parents to go to bed early, in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. We're through the looking glass here, people.

More like a bunch of people that just so happen to be Jewish.

[–]Whatnameisnttakenred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish all races, all peoples, could come together in harmony to fight our common Jew enemies.

[–]voNlKONov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much.

Actually Hassidic Jews did this really recently to a suburb in New York state, I don't remember the thread, but basically they could only buy a few houses, so they just rented them super low cost to very low income black people until everyone in the neighborhood sold to them before the property values tanked.

[–]kabukistar 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I don't normally laugh at racist jokes. But when I do, they're well-timed racist jokes.

[–]BitterAtLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Jews were merely pawns of the Reptilians. Wake up sheeple.

[–]Toux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They own the world. Literally, there is a high chance the land you are living on is owned by Jews

[–]Bacon_Hammers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how Dole and Tropicana fit into all this.

[–]drinks_antifreeze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Am Jew.
