I think a new slur for Whites should be copper goblins... copper theft is a White crime let's just admit it. It'll be our word and niggers can't use it

Scrappin' is the last implicit stand of white identity. #GangScrap

God, I love scrapyards

I've never seen a black person at a scrapyard.

I have once or twice mainly car junkyards tho

@Hoss @ProudKulak @AmpBenzScientist Or hiking in the national parks

Hockey games

I'd rather deal with wendigos and skinwalkers than niggers tbh.

@charliebrownau @ProudKulak @Hoss Shit, y'all must live outside the deep south. Down here it's all about the have and the have nots.

@Hoss @ProudKulak @AmpBenzScientist that's weird I've seen darkies at scrap yards turning in washing machines and the like.
Hell it was one of them that told me he saw the wiggers that stole my ac selling it a week after they did the crime.

@kf01 @ProudKulak @Hoss Yeah those are going to be the regular people who go to scrap yards. There's enough stigma against people who work in scrap, I'm not surprised that they would let that information go. The regulars are usually hard workers with calloused hands and mostly pure hearts.

@Hoss @ProudKulak I've seen plenty and they were just like everyone else there. Brothers in scrap iron. It was the least racist place I can recall. I won't exclude the reason why everyone was treated the same was likely because crossing scrapers would result in a trip to the ER. We were all probably viewed as trash and druggies but hell I would proudly wear that label. That tie supposed to impress me? How many hundreds of pounds of metal did you pull out of the woods today? Go ahead and call the cops. Tell em that you have a problem with Blue Collar Workers.

Another day in the life.

> I won't exclude the reason why everyone was treated the same was likely because crossing scrapers would result in a trip to the ER.
Mutually Assured Destruction.

@Hoss @ProudKulak Or maybe we all punched firewalls and a person is much softer.

@Hoss @ProudKulak I made a fair bit of money cleaning the woods of trash steel and iron. It was good work and I enjoyed it but perhaps the best part was seeing the woods cleaned up. It's not every day that one gets paid to help restore nature to its proper beauty.

There was a stereotype of everyone being tweakers and I won't say it's entirely false. The people I met at the Scrap yard were hard working and honest. If they did enjoy a little crank, I hope it was the best they ever had. They deserved it.

@Hoss I remember when phone lines went down somewhere around me and it turns out that the old copper was taken down so it could be recycled. Unfortunately it was just replaced with more copper instead of a more abundant resource.

I've thought about why telephone companies don't upgrade the infrastructure. They will likely complain about cost but I don't buy it. They expect people to believe that miles and miles of copper cable isn't a hidden plan B or even a reason to swap to better technology. They could just use all that copper to fund the upgrades. Granted, they would need to do it gradually as to not raise suspicion and make prices plummet.

Why upgrade the infrastructure when you can just sit around until enough people complain and then get free money from the government to do it? And the best part is you can just pocket that free money instead of using it for what you were supposed to and there will be literally no consequences!

@Hoss Yes that appears to be the common strategy.
