@reddit_lies @agraybee So, that's what, less than 10k such comments per day? Bro with love do you have ANY idea how many Chinese and Russian bots there are trying to drum up division on Facebook??

The near universal liberal response to Charlie Kirk's death was "I didn't like the guy but no one deserves to get gunned down in cold blood". You assumed there was celebration because it's what you would do if Rachel Maddow was shot.

Donald Trump, at almost 80, is going to die sooner than we think. Bookmark this. When Trump passes, there will be an absolute ORGY of grotesque delight on the Left and even among moderates. They will celebrate in the streets and hold parties. It will be a macabre display, such as we've never seen yet. It will make their celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder look like your great aunt Mildred's church tea party. Mark my words.

@gvanhp @AndrewSteinwold Well yeah obviously, there are tons of different factors, but that's perhaps one of them
English
@AndrewSteinwold So to be clear here R squared is 0.25 which is a weak correlation.

@jeremykauffman @christopherrufo I mean of course it's technically more accurate to say that but that's still not even remotely true
English
@christopherrufo It would be more accurate to say white men are the most oppressed group since 1964
(or maybe 1920, tough to pinpoint)
English
I've done as much as anyone to stop anti-white discrimination in America's institutions, but you have to be brain-damaged to believe that "white men are the most oppressed group in history." This is a leftist attitude, and almost certainly a projection of personal failure, frustration, or resentment onto the Jews or the social tableau.
Yes, you should absolutely fight to reduce anti-white discrimination, but if you believe "100% of your problems are external," you're being dishonest with yourself and repressing massive inferiority feelings, which almost certainly have nothing to do with the war in Iran or AIPAC or whatever you think is "holding the white man down."
It's leftist thinking. A victimhood fetish. Your pioneer ancestors would laugh at you for whining that you're "the most oppressed man in history" because of Pam in HR.
hoe_math = PsychoMath@ItIsHoeMath
White men are very easily the most oppressed group in history. Nearly 100% of our problems are external, in the system. But no one's going to solve them for you. You have to solve them yourself, which means we have to solve them together. This rat is trying to tell you that you have problems because you are personally deficient. That's probably not true. The average White guy is more competent than the top 20% of any other group except maybe East Asians. But even that doesn't matter, because the top 2% of white guys are more competent than 100% of everyone else put together. It does not matter how many retards you put to work designing a rocket, it's never going to fly. The exclusion of white men from opportunity is the vast majority of the problem. It's not that there are no stupid white guys. About 14% of them are. It's not that there are no white guys with problems. Everybody has flaws. It's that we were always that way, and we were doing thousands of times better than everyone else before somebody snuck into our government and changed all the rules to make sure that we get nothing in our own countries. No one's going to solve that but us, and us includes you. So it's not your fault that things are so bad, but it is your responsibility.

@ProfessorGriggs Any idea what the underlying motion was? I’m guessing R33 since 3 years are about to elapse.

Oh golly, I cannot wait until my next Legal Profession class. I *will* be modifying the syllabus to address this unauthorized practice by a law professor.

@nonregemesse @Emannytheory ?? People are very bad at math here. There's no reason to 1/2 it because it's only the best ACTOR award.
Yes, there have been disproportionately few black winners.

Isn’t it disproportionately high given the population size?

@KelseyTuoc I appreciate your super-logical answers! Thanks so much. I think the reason CA's law is repugnant is that they don't just force foster parents to tolerate what the child believes, but to ACTIVELY affirm it, even if they strongly believe it's harmful. It's essentialy thought crime
English
@Youknowthatin and I'm absolutely allowed to tell my own kid that God isn't real and people who think that are mistaken, but I think it would be deeply inappropriate for me to tell a foster kid that, and if I won't promise to respect their beliefs they shouldn't be forced to foster with me
English
This has been very frustrating to me. Republican states are moving to retroactively invalidate drivers' licenses the state issued, make it illegal for private businesses to set their own bathroom policies as they see fit, and ban adults from transitioning.

New: The legal attacks on transgender Americans are moving fast beyond questions of school sports and youth gender medicine. Democrats are getting caught flatfooted, as they're still debating how to respond to the wedge issues @voxdotcom gift link: vox.com/policy/482762/…
English
@KelseyTuoc Sure, that's definitely violating the 1st Amendment. But California doesn't let you be a foster parent if you DON'T affirm California's beliefs on gender identity, even if the kid you'd be fostering isn't trans. Isn't that equally violating the 1st?
English
In Texas, it is illegal for a parent to obtain for their child a counselor who shares the belief of the parent and the child that some people are trans and this is fine and they do not need to be forced to stop and will support the child. Illegal. It's speech and it's illlegal.

@HalSinger @ZaidJilani Or you could just trust what the polling of real people tells you
English
@ZaidJilani Maybe the brand is toxic because Dems supported free trade, bank deregulation, defanged antitrust enforcement, abandoned unions, and other corporatist agenda items in support of oligarchy for several decades?
English
Matt is correct about the problem, although as someone who has only done politics in the mean streets of Manhattan, Cambridge, and Washington DC he might not be exactly the purple-red state whisperer for the solution.

@benryanwriter @mattyglesias @nytopinion Love your stuff but Matt is emphatically not a centrist. He's a centrist DEMOCRAT, sure, but not a centrist overall. He's never ever supported a republican over a Democrat for any race anywhere, to my knowledge at least.
English
@dahughjestanus @allie__voss @lolnochilly Of course he won't. He won't look fondly on anyone's sin. It's a very good thing that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all my sin a long time ago, because God knows I'm not good enough!
English
@Youknowthatin @allie__voss @lolnochilly You can have hope all you'd like lmao. If there's a heaven and hell I guarantee you the guy dictating who goes where isn't going to look fondly at a group that acted poorly towards everyone then invokes his name to justify their shit behavior.
English
@berezina @mattyglesias Matt analyzes these on the merits all the time.
One of the biggest problems is that democrats absolutely refuse to debate trans issues on the merits at all
English
@mattyglesias I am once again urging you to stop giving political advice and to argue for these policies on substance! If you want to be cynical, say you're giving them face-saving excuses for throwing people under the bus to win elections... but there's no need to be cynical!
English
Today in the New York Times with the help of state of the art political science, I tackle the question “who should Democrats throw under the bus to win?”
They did a large experiment to show which policy moderations move the most voters.

@johnfawkes @grok @berezina @mattyglesias I'm so happy to see grok respond like this. You can criticize many people for not caring about the substance of issues, but not him.
English
@grok @berezina @mattyglesias Oh wow. What about affirmative action, meritocracy or trans rights, has he ever made substantive arguments about those? Can you name any articles in which he did?
English
@AudrianaCB @allie__voss @lolnochilly We do think you deserve the same basic civil rights: the right to vote, to own a firearm, to speak, to petition, etc., as well as the right to marry someone of the opposite sex
English
@allie__voss @lolnochilly How could you possibly be defining hatred that “I don’t think you deserve the same basic civil rights as me” doesn’t count
English
@columba_lovetxt @allie__voss @lolnochilly Because you recognize that we were made for heterosexuality. Our bodies, male and female, are designed to work together to create life and a balanced society. It's not hateful to say that this is the best way to live. It's not hateful to want to honor that by calling it marriage.
English
@allie__voss @lolnochilly why else would you be against same sex marriage?
English
@dahughjestanus @allie__voss @lolnochilly I assure you that however many sins you think Allie or I have...
We have far, far more than you could imagine.
It is NOT from a lack of sin that we have hope of heaven.
English
@allie__voss @lolnochilly It's kind of a gold moment that the people who self identify as followers of Christ on social media are also the same group of people who will be burning in hell for their sins that they don't recognize as sins
English
@thornbill9 @allie__voss @lolnochilly You have no theory of mind for people who disagree with you, do you?
Suppose for the sake of argument that heterosexuality is better. Then, wouldn't the most loving thing be to nudge your loved ones towards it?
English
@allie__voss @lolnochilly Being unwilling to set aside your personal beliefs to accept your child and their partner for who they are is a violation of our social contract. You’re asking your daughter to live a lie and lose any chance of love to fit your selfish bigoted worldview. It’s PURE hatred
