TlDr, someone wrote "BIPOC" on a middle school bathroom wall, cops are investigating and the ADL has been called in to conduct struggle sessions.
Now, you're probably thinking, that looks like a pretty swanky middle school, is this the type of Connecticut town I suspect it is?
Oh my, yes.
Anyways, the poors at Kiwifarms are having a good laugh at this mayo nonsense.
Hey, by the way, if you can spend $500,000 on an Ivy league masters degree, maybe you too can grow up to work at a small town weekly for peanuts breaking big stories about graffiti on the sixth grade girls restroom..
the Dutch global Classical Music superstar, hated his primary fandom demographic (Boers) in - 49
- 96
There was this !dutch violinist/ orchestra director who became famous worldwide, by having these "informal" classical music concerts/shows, where peeps in the audience would dance in the aisles, or even the musicians or André himself would walk down the aisles themselves, while celebrating famous classical music.
This was considered radical for Boomers, who found the dour and sour and uptight classical music conformity of Europe to be to too stifling. People like my parents were pretty excited to watch his shows and performances on DSTV, which had become more common in Safrica, and appreciated his musical acumen, whilst having much more lighthearted tones in his shows.
Here's a bull attacking a woman!! 
He also looks like an eccentric mad-scientist nutjob with his hair! 
In 2010 he had a tour in 
https://www.andrerieu.com/en/about-andre/my-biography/2010
Unfortunately his weak !dutch genes were no match for the filth and garbage of Safrica, and he got a debilitating ear infection mid tour. 
DRAMA!
Drama had however occurred over time in the 2010s when André Rieu obtained the notable quirk, in that he REFUSED 
to speak the Colonizer language of Afrikaans!!!! 
This caused a lot of seeth for Boers, who ironically made the lionshare of his fandom in the country, even beyond the large Bonglish CD-buyers in Cape Town. This social media drama has been largely purged by time and linkrot (omg this like 15 years ago 
) But it was pretty big drama.
In his tours of 2010 & 2012, he had repeated numerous times that he had been disappointed in the demographics makeup of his shows, which as can be predicted, were always overwhelmingly 
He was especially disappointed to find Safrican black peeps didn't really give a shit, despite his massive catering towards them in all his Safrican tours, whether in Cape Town or Suncity. Especially in his "My African Dream" shows, which he tailored to include lots of black opera singers, local black dancers, and it was still 99% mayo 
https://www.news24.com/life/andre-rieu-refuses-to-speak-afrikaans-20110318
=====(from news24)
André Rieu, King of the waltz and musical hero to many South Africans, still refuses to speak a word of Afrikaans or even Dutch onstage.
Last year already many of his fans asked why Rieu did not speak a word of Afrikaans or Dutch on stage.
He has toured across the globe, always making an effort to speak at least a word of the language of the country in which he is touring. 
Rieu is aware that many of his fans in South Africa are Afrikaans speaking and that they are able to understand the Dutch heard on the DVDs.
Country's demographic 
When Volksblad asked Rieu in an official enquiry why he does not speak Afrikaans or Dutch onstage in South Africa, he said: "No comment."
"He wanted to make it easier for his fans to travel to the show, because not everyone will be able to travel all the way to Sun City. He also hopes to then see an audience that is a better representation of the country's demographic."
Rieu has said that he would like to see an audience that is 50% black and 50% white. Last year, he asked the Bloemfontein Children's choir to perform with him in his hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands. His condition that the choir should consist of 50% black members, was heavily criticised.

I tried really hard to find old twitter 
about drama when André Rieu stated in front of his 99% mayo audience how sad and disappointed he was that so few black peeps had come to his Cape Town and Suncity shows, and with many people stating how full of shit he was, because if he wanted a primary black audience, he should have hosted a show in Soweto stadiums (he didn't cuz it was unsafe 
)
Like holy hells there was scores of drama - you guys don't appreciate how linkrot has culled so much drama of our forebears 
Like I remember newspaper articles about the drama and events but that shit is now banished to the shadowrealm i literally cannot find anything on the face of the internet to prove what I'm recounting to you guys, it's information just gone into the ether

People who identify as animals have been warned not to discriminate against others "on account of their species" at an event this weekend. The Scotiacon convention is expected to attract 1,200 "furries" to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow. Its code of conduct warns that "harassment of any kind is not tolerated", which includes race, gender, sexuality or "the species of someone's fursona" — jargon for the animal that a person identifies as. Guests are also warned against exhibiting artworks depicting paedophilia, described as "cub porn", or humans having s*x with animals.
The organisers said: "We are aware that this is a difficult rule since the actual age of drawn characters is open to interpretation, especially where they are in a cartoon style. "Appearances count. Characters with a very childlike appearance and/or baby face may be considered children in the context of this rule." The event began in 2011 and has grown from a few dozen attending to 1,170 "furs" last year. Tickets cost £45 a day, or up to £480 with hotel accommodation. The code of conduct for artworks also states: "No zoophilia and/or bestiality involving humans or largely human-like characters (eg anime catgirls, elves or centaurs) with animals or largely non-morphic characters (four-legged) is allowed. "Other species-transcending sexual activity (eg anthros and humans) is generally allowed. "Potty-related activities are highly discouraged. This includes scat, watersports, adult diapers in use, and vomit. We do not entirely exclude this content but only seek to accept items with very mild depictions which would be suitable for a general viewing public." Delegates must not come dressed in "fetish gear" such as "anatomically correct" costumes, jockstraps or exposed buttocks. However, dog collars, leather wristbands and "accessories used in an innocent context, such as a dog harness that is part of a sled dog costume", are permitted.
Academic studies have disclosed the tensions within the furry community which includes subdivisions such as herbivore or carnivore, predator or prey, traditional animals or more fantastical creatures. In 2023 the Anthropomorphic Research Project, an international group of academics, highlighted problems including "bigotry, discrimination, intolerance and bullying in the fandom". Last year it emerged that a Scottish pupil had been allowed to identify as an animal in Aberdeen. The city council said at least one child had been recognised as having species dysphoria but it declined to specify which animal. In species dysphoria, a person feels that their body is the wrong species. People with the condition are sometimes known as therians. Numerous children are said to have tried to identify as animals, including foxes, dragons, birds, snakes and sharks, although it is unclear whether they were serious. Last year the Scottish Daily Mail said a secondary school pupil had been allowed to identify as a wolf. A council, which the newspaper did not name, said the pupil was part of a group known as furries.

Reddit Threads:
Even the usually lib-leaning bongs of Reddit are pretty cognizant of what the furry subculture really en-tails, and opt to get in on the cyberbullying.
Of course, some onlooking Amerilard furtwinks take issue with this rampant fursecution. 
Bros, I thought being trans-species was just an alt-right hoax... 
To conclude: Say what you will about bongs, but at least it's like the one western country where shit like furry conventions get appropriate pushback and backlash in the media every time they're held. Lest we forget, the same convention was met with protests and journos digging up the vile NSFW accounts of attendees just a couple years ago.

High in the rugged mountains of Central Asia, where the wind howled through rocky crevices and the air was thin and cold, a solitary manul named Tsuruoka prowled the steppes. His thick, grayish fur rippled in the breeze, and his piercing yellow eyes scanned the terrain for movement. Tsuruoka was a skilled hunter, patient and precise, but lately, he had felt a restlessness he couldn't quite explain.
One crisp morning, as the sun cast long shadows across the barren landscape, Tsuruoka caught a scent on the wind—something unfamiliar yet intriguing. It was faint, but it stirred something deep within him. He followed the trail, his padded feet moving silently over the rocky ground, until he reached a narrow gorge. There, perched on a ledge overlooking the valley, was another manul.
She was smaller than Tsuruoka, with a coat that shimmered silver in the sunlight. Her wide, round eyes were fixed on the horizon, and her tufted ears twitched at the sound of his approach. Tsuruoka froze, unsure of how to proceed. Manuls were solitary by nature, and encounters between them were rare.
But then she turned her head, and their eyes met. For a moment, neither moved. Then, with a soft chuff, she leaped down from the ledge and approached him cautiously. Tsuruoka's heart raced as she drew closer, her scent filling his senses. She was unlike anything he had ever encountered—graceful, confident, and utterly captivating.
Her name was Nana, and she had traveled far to find a new territory. As they sat together on the ledge, watching the sun dip below the horizon, Tsuruoka felt a connection he had never known before. Nana's presence was calming yet exhilarating, and he found himself drawn to her in ways he couldn't explain.
Over the following weeks, Tsuruoka and Nana explored the mountains together. They hunted side by side, their movements perfectly synchronized, and shared the warmth of their dens during the frigid nights. Tsuruoka taught Nana the secrets of the land—the best places to find pikas, the hidden crevices where the wind couldn't reach—and Nana, in turn, brought a new energy to Tsuruoka's solitary life.
One evening, as they sat atop a high ridge, the stars stretching endlessly above them, Tsuruoka nuzzled Nana's cheek. She responded with a soft purr, leaning into him. In that moment, surrounded by the vast, untamed wilderness, they knew they had found something rare and precious—a bond that transcended their solitary instincts.
From that day on, Tsuruoka and Nana were inseparable. Together, they navigated the challenges of their harsh environment, their love a beacon of warmth in the cold, unforgiving landscape. And though the world around them was wild and untamed, they had found a sanctuary in each other.

- ahorseshoecrab : i work 3 days on 4 days off, 4 days on 3 days off
redditoids salivate at the idea of a 4-day-work-week 
and how Decent-Human-Being countries like (western) Europe (they have FREE healthcare btw) and UK (the evil ex-wife of Eurocucks), tested a trial run of a 4-day-work-week. AND IT WORKED GREAT - 116
- 112
Greetings strags 
The 4-day-work-week is one of my favorite redditisms. It always brings out the lazy useless commies out of the work week. And always, ALWAYS, these lazy fools try and masquerade their supposed desire to improve society, when instead they are merely desiring a terraforming of the world to suit their own interests, namely them wanting to work less hard hard like /r/antiWORK
I want to ask you dramatards today what you guys think about 4-day-work-weeks. Because it's always an inevitable circlejerk in the reddit euphoric-atheist eurocuck leftoid anti-yank anti-west crowd.
Yet for somebody who works in an already left wing dominated country, and for a private enterprise, I have my great reservations about only 4 working days per week. In our private company, and similar surveying companies, as well as for building contractors, architects, lawyers, Trade-industry like electricians and plumbers, the notion of a 4 day work week is absolutely fricking ANATHEMA
The reason being is that contrary to white-collar soul crushing useless corporate office hours wasting manhours, our 5 days also consist of accumulating clients and jobs and contracts and tenders, from the private world and the government. If i make this sound sophisticated, what i mean is that it basically boils down to cutting your potential outreach opportunity to clients and available office hours, or even available fricking contacts hours by a brutal 20%.
And while I'm not privy to our business' exact financials or contemporary SA surveying companies, I know the netto income is about 20%. And if the government would for example MANDATE or force a 4-day-work-week, it would slit our throats overnight.
Kaamrev, you guys would say, won't the clients just call/visit the office on Monday=>Tuesday. They might, but customers/clients are funny in the mercurial world of business, you will note if you own a private organization, in which you are solely responsible for accumulating/finding clients, that available hours have drastic influence on whether clients finally take the leap in contractig/buying a service.
Many surveyors and chainmen even work way beyond natural office hours, well earlier than 8am, and well beyond 5pm, if a particularly important/large job is at stake. Many would work Saturdays, and even sundays if pressure is at stake. I myself had done so for months last year, as there literally not enough hours in the fricking 40 hours work week to finish particularly dire projects. Last year i actually worked harder than I studied for my 3rd year at univeristy, not out of principle but sheer panic.
This notion of going beyond mandated 40 hour weeks, is probably unknown to wagie redditors who are paid the same, regardless of whether they do their best/slack off. And while I have sympathy for people in wage-cage jobs, in white-collar soul crushing office-cubicle heck -holes, where middle-managers force useless meetings and useless hours, and thus wasting your finite life span away for unclear goals, in unclear corpo leadership - but that is NOT why redditors champion 4-day-work-weeks. No it is because it appeals to them
Supermarket businesses like Checkers/Spar/Woolworths in South Africa, had steadily encroached on weekend openings about 20 years ago. I recall distinctly massive drama within the Christian communities in Safrica, that when places like Spar and Checkers began to have open hours on Saturday, and then eventually open hours on Sundays. Because sundays are supposed to be the day of rest. In the 1990s you had exceptions to the rule, and in the early 2000s, if your pantry was empty, because you had poor planning or some calamity, then you were fricked out of luck for food for sunday, unless you could find some street-vendor road-seller who would sell you some mielies for the day to tie you over for Sunday.
I distinctly remember many neighbours begging after Sunday services for some key ingredients or some flour or fruit, and promising to pay back on Monday, cuz there literally was no shopping mall or tuckshop or anything open the whole day! But as religiosity gradually faded throughout the country, corporations gradually found weekend openings to be acceptable and convenient to the public
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_shopping
So for these corporations, 7-day operating weeks became a virtual necessity. Because if they did NOT operate during the weekend as their competition did, they lost out on potential clients, because the people who would have shopped during regular weekdays were now satisfied for their groceries on weekends. Smaller grocery businesses would find themselves in a death knell had they not adapted.
And many small town businesses like mom-and-pop bakeries, who traditionally operated on weekdays like they had in the past, and was closed during the weekends as it was family run, and they had to take care of family/kids, would be screwed if they did not compete with corporate chains like Spar, which had bakeries, as the Entire monday sales period would be cut off, as customers had their monday needs met during the weekend.
A not too dissimilar phenomenon happens in trade or contract industries. Even if Governments could make a blanket ban on 5-day-work-weeks, so that your competitors could not operate on a 5th day, same a your company does, and thus steal your clients, there is a weird hidden opportunity cost lost by customers which were on the precipice of a decision, but your unavailability, lost them to your business. This is in addition to the potential loss of manhours to work on potential projects.
I also don't buy this mythos from popular rediditor zeitghest, that in ancient/medieval times, farmer peasants worked much less today, and only in our modern corporatized world we work ourselves into an early grave. I've seen actual farms - there's always work, if the pipes burst, they need to be fixed. It's many long and hard hours.
But I'm also aware historic labour laws came into being becuase of much sacrifice and due to great abuse by magnates and oligarchic businessmen who literally worked English children to death in mine shafts during the Bong Industrial Period.
What do you guys think?
Anyways some drama and sneed below
What does billionaires have to do with the 5-day-work-week?? It's like wagie redditors are so far removed from ever having had the fate of a business enterprise on their shoulders, that they equate a societal business norm of the past several hundred years due to the greed of a cabal of billinaires
Thank frick for that
"STOP MAKING SENSE!" only stupid people want to work for 5 days a week! 
Some takes with more than 1 braincel
"It really depends on the industry. I work in manufacturing. Output is directly tied to labor hours applied. My wife works in healthcare. Obviously you still need staffing coverage 24/7."
This guy gets downmarseyd for pointing out against the circlejerk that the 4-day-work-week was only considered by the experimenting 61 companies, becuase it DIDN'T affect a loss of productivity, and these cute twinks downmarsey him for pointing out that any loss of productivity/ or incurring more costs like hiring additional staff would negate the feasibility
ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh man he really pissed off these neetstrags
"Congrats. Not everyone is you. You're not even going to stay the you that you are now. Try working 50 hours/week for 20 years and see if your productivity keeps up." 
lmoa 20 years, try people who worked 50 years of their lives you strags
Of course redditors can't read (or ever read the linked articles anyway)
"The dude you are replying to is just going around to very comment trying to justify why him and his area shouldn't allow people to work fewer hours. He also talked about not seeing any decrease in productivity till he pushed workers to work more than 50 hours a week." 
Anti-yank circlejerk begins
Those filthy yanks 
Again these redditors miss the forest for the trees. Sometimes a company cannot exist in a system where a loss of opportunity is caused by a loss of potential clients or contacts because the fricking business wasn't open or available for liaison
Some more redditors with braincells in smaller threads outside the usual 1000-point upmarseyd circlejerk teenage angst subthreads, ask significant questions, because they are skeptical of this supposed overgood news.
Manufacturing industries are out
Ok, nice link, thanks.
So the #1 category, by a large margin, is not-for-profits/charities. Which isn't very representative of most people's workplaces.
The #2 is the creative/consultant/PR/marketing space - an industry where the actual hours worked have little relevance.
I thought there was a construction company in there, but it turned out to be a Housing Association. Unfortunately, these really aren't representative of where most people work.
This guys shits 
on the hopes and dreams of soyneets and soywagies 
Anyways the same theme is repeated throughout the thread. What do YOU
