@TerroristBlue I don't understand why anyone thinks birth right citizenship is reasonable though. It's quite obviously not sustainable and there is no benefits for actual citizens.
English
I said this… I said all of this BEFORE the election. BEFORE an executive order. I said they were going for the 14th Amendment.
The Dred Scott ruling was officially overturned by the 14th Amendment. If the 14th Amendment is overturned, the constitutional basis for citizenship would revert to pre-Civil War standards.
That means it could potentially leave the 1857 ruling active as a legal precedent that deemed Black Americans non-citizens.
But y’all said I was fear mongering. You didn’t like the fact a fucking Hispanic was warning you.

🚨 Do you understand what SCOTUS is about to decide? in 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that Black Americans... even those born free on American soil.. could never be citizens.. it was called the Dred Scott decision.. one of the most shameful rulings in legal history.. it took a Civil War and 360,000 Union deaths to fix it.. in 1868, Congress passed the 14th Amendment.. "all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens".. no exceptions.. no asterisks.. they wrote it that way on purpose.. so no government could ever again decide who counts as American on this soil.. it has stood for 156 years.. Trump signed an executive order trying to end it.. not a constitutional amendment.. not an act of Congress.. an executive order.. and SCOTUS is about to decide if that's allowed.. here's what nobody's saying out loud.. this isn't about immigration.. if a president can override the 14th Amendment with an executive order.. there is no amendment a president cannot override with an executive order.. one executive order just did what the Confederacy couldn't.

@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo You have a double digit I.Q and can't read basic definitions, lol. It's definitely a combination of mental rtardation and you being amused by complex syntax, but it's okay. You don't have the mental capacity to understand you're low I.Q.
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Mmm no, that’s not it. It’s that most of your responses have been somewhat incoherent, while you’ve struggled to understand basic argumentative concepts. But there’s nothing more difficult in this world than convince an idiot that he’s wrong so… good job buddy! Well done!

I've ardently defended Erika Kirk from the ostensibly serious podcasters & media stars defaming her and baselessly implicating her in crimes.
But my feelings about the comedian Druski's mockery of Erika Kirk are more complex.
For years, I, and many others on the Right, defended edgy and wildly offensive comedy, like mocking trans people and even joking about horrible things like domestic violence, the Holocaust, and AIDS.
How can anyone on the Right really argue, in that context, that a comedian mocking a widow is somehow beyond the pale... without being totally hypocritical?
English
@millhist @Stephen_Fremel @axiochrono now that's a good argument for lack of schools seeming unreasonable, however, there is no necessity for them to be as formalized. x.com/upper_pp/statu…
Baseball fallout 🇩🇴@upper_pp
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono The most logical implications is that either they're not as magical or they're not formalized. Either way, it's not inherently wrong like you guys are pretending. It's like saying that india and china not being able to produce 12 men who play soccer at a high level is bad writing
English
@upper_pp @Stephen_Fremel @axiochrono There you go. She says herself the ratio is a equivalent across countries.
English
The thing that baffles me most about this map is that there was literally no point. JKR could have just said "every country has its own wizard school" and left it at that. No one would have questioned that.
The Late Knight Show@Knightly_Hist
I know it's old news but whenever people bring up the world outside Hogwarts I just remember that there's 1 school for the British isles... And the rest of the world looks like this.
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono so you're back to not understanding burden of proof. You're proposing that a random headcanon is evidence of bad writing. It's as simple as that. It doesn't stand to reason at all, lol. It's headcanon.
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono You're the one having problems acknowledging the fact that we DO know certain numbers, it's completely illogical to assert that they're not in any way applicable elsewhere when none of the material implies Britain is especially magical or that anywhere else isn't
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono no, and that's the point. You can't presume one way or the other. Why are you able to understand the necessity to proof with this?
English
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono rarity of height is irrelevant, the analogy is on the disproportionate amount of 7 footer by populations, like how magic can be extremely rare in the rest of the planet, but slightly less extreme in the british isles. And how that in itself is not bad writing or world building.
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono But magical beings in HP are not outliers they are an explicit function of the universe, being 7ft tall is objectively more rare than being magical, according to Google there's at most 3000 7ft tall people in the entire world right now
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono yeah, I'm saying that it is not applicable with outliers in the real world, so why in the heck do you expect to be proportionate for an outlier in the magical world to the point you criticize it as bad writing and unreasonable? When it perfectly fits patterns of reality?
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono But this is just a pointless thing to argue because magical people might be more or less than that, this is just a suggestion from known factors, that is all
For all any of us know 50% of Indonesia is magical or some crazy shit like that, not the point
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono Homegirl,the point I'm illustrating is that your initial premise that the proportion of magical people should be somewhat similar is explicitly wrong, think of being 7 feet as being magical, no reason for different populations to have the same rate despite it being a "born" thing
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono Once again these comparisons don't make sense, being on a sports team requires a ton more factors than
"Being born"
Which is the only factor in whether or not someone in HP is magical, you don't have to worry about funding, training or biology if you are born you might be magic
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono that's true, fair argument. I guess that's why indians don't have to live vicariously through argentinas in soccer, because they produce their own top tier athletes. Or why Australians despite having less than 2 percent of indian's population is better at cricket than india.
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono There's over a billion people in China alone, other countries like India have high populations too, people in the UK don't have that many children
Unless we have reason to believe this is different in HP why wouldn't these trends apply? It's not a fantasy world entirely
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono yeah, hence bigger populations having greater output of athletes, you know what explains people of east african descent being disproportionately good at running? The economy. You know what explains the lack of filipinos in the nba despite them being crazy about the sport? Economy
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono But...it does? Population trends are usually fairly universal, the only factors that change this are things like the economy
This argument doesn't make sense because there's lots of reasons why wizards would be even more common elsewhere, Harry Potter is set in the real world
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo I don't agree with it, but it's an actual cohesive rebuttal. That statement demonstrated actual knowledge of argumentative principles, which throughout the discussion you've shown no evidence of having a grasp on.
English
@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Literally just reiterated my argument in a couple sentence and you don't see how agreeing with it at this point essentially confirms you're an actual medical rtard?
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Oh I did realise it was an insult, but it was still legitimately the only logically cohesive thing you've said during the discussion.
English
@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo I like how you can accept how rtarded your arguments are when you don't realize I'm poking fun of you, lol.
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo That's the first cohesive thing you've said during this discussion. My guess is you used AI to come up with that retort 😂
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono it is, but the operative principle that pretending your extrapolation is factual enough that it becomes bad writing is equally is as asinine as pretending that superman must exist, as it doesn't even work like that in the real world. Hence the analogy.
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono The existence of a fictional character from an entirely different universe is a very different thing from extrapolating population data from available information.
English
@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Yeah, true, maybe at school they'll teach me that making statements to dispel the previously stated notion that two thing exist in the same moral realm is in fact an argument. Or maybe that analogies require the comparison to be the 2 things' operative element. One can dream. 😀
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo And that's one of the greatest examples of projection I've ever seen. Good luck, man. Go to school, please.
English
@Stephen_Fremel @millhist @axiochrono "Unless it is stated otherwise, superman exist as an actual alien from krypton"
English
@upper_pp @millhist @axiochrono But she also never stated the UK is a particular hot spot, moot point. We do not have a lot of information, neither of us were saying these numbers are 100% accurate, they are just a logical assessment of what little we know. Realistically it could be WAY higher even.
English
@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo perhaps one of the worse attempt at an analogy I have ever seen, it's almost impressive how rtarded you are. Now I know for fact you're not trolling. You're an actual medical rtard.
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo MLK: "Black people should have the same voting rights as white people"
You: "BlaCk pEOple aNd WHitE PeopLe ArE diFFerEnT, ThaT's My GooD ArgUmeNT, i HaVe HiGH iQ, cOMpaRe And cOnTraST lol 🤡"
English
@SebMadeInChina @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Comparing and contrasting is one of the most basic forms of argumentation, you're actually insane. It just gets worse and worse.
English
@upper_pp @SpookieMusk @doodamos @brad_polumbo Brother, if you think that saying two things that are different are, in fact, different is a "good" or "valid" argument, then your IQ is in the single digits. No college professor would ever accept that as a valid argument, which you'd know if you'd gone to college.
