Sharing a little dirty secret about OAC

[GrimSurfer]

I’m always judging wax by its colour.

Does that make me a bad skier? LOL

Just sick of the endless cries of victimhood. Makes people weak.

Agreed! I mean who really cares about victimhood unless the ones who are complaining are conservative white men anyways?

Seemingly everyone? I don't understand what "white conservative men" has to do with all this because I'm not a racist who labels people by skin color so perhaps you can enlighten me?

Just pointing out how it's the conservative white men who are the biggest victims
these days and how dare we unfairly ignore their grave concerns. You know, just making a statement about something I don't like very much, sort-of like you randomly saying you don't like victims speaking up for themselves

You are definitely not a racist... Just a nice guy promoting the strongest against the weakest, that's all.

Wow, I did not expect anyone to get so triggered by my comment. Sorry about that.

If you want some perspective on the issue, read Ward Churchill's books.

If you want to read about XC skiing, get a copy of Jeff Potter's New Wave Nordic Skiing. It is all about recreational XC skiing, the kind of market Altai and OAC are trying to target. I think I saw Jeff post on this forum before. The book does not mention the wide skin skis/ski-raquettes/whatever you want to call them. It would be interesting to get Jeff's opinion.

Any moderators on here to keep things about skiing? Or at least to edit out those I don't trust around my mixed-race family, Jewish best friend, or same-gender marriage acquaintances? I've added '12guagesage' to my 'foes list' to see less of his hate speech: shows up in quotations, though.

Besides hate, it's just rude. I'm a labour-socialist, and who cares? This is a skiing forum.

Happy skiing, to all those whose hearts aren't consumed by hate.

Not sure but you seem to misread my post... I'm just doing a «refutation by the absurd». I'll erase it. It's a bit too much. I do not like that sort of «rule of the jungle» that some guy promote. Kind of remind me of faschism...

It wasn't you I'm annoyed at: it's the other guy with the, at best, social-darwinism crap; at worst, straight-up facism. Sorry if I made you think it was you.

I can imagine how socialists and fascists may not get along. LOL

Don’t subscribe to either ideology and don’t pick favourites based on who is practicing genocide… Hitler, Stalin, Hirohito, Mao, Pol Pot aren’t guys I’d ever want to ski or surf with. This is probably because all they’d do is bang on about race theory, the proletariat, and all the other bland flavours of identity politics that seems to be all the rage in urban hipster circles

So I group them together under the same letter of the alphabet. A for… well, you can figure that out.

Would you want to ski with Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush 2, Clinton, etc?

I try to stay away from politicians. They all threaten my virtue.
