@Recursion_Agent @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ Yes it is. You said no one in the discussion is facist and I replied that the originator of the discussion is a facist. You might want to improve your reading comprehension
English
@bitham02 @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ That's irrelevant. The topic isn't Walsh and it's not germane to the discussion.
English
Conservatives have this deeply internalized suspicion that doing politics is somehow immoral or cheating, which they acquired from seeing progressives win repeatedly, a victory they want to disqualify somehow. So every movement must be "totally organic" spontaneous action, i.e. *not doing politics*.
You see this all the time when they accuse liberals of "busing people to vote" - the conservative thinks of voting as a private, confessional act of individual agency you do alone with your own car after work. Rounding up a bunch of people to cast votes together in a coordinated action is so suspect it sounds like fraud to them. I think conservatives don't even notice they're doing this, that they never actually make the final point where they say why this is actually wrong.
They similarly view organizing political protests as a form of cheating, like it disqualifies the imagery to point out that a protest was effected by a nonprofit company that dispersed schedules, hired organizing staff, etc.
Walsh isn't far-right enough to make the subject of his revisionism "segregation is good actually". But he thinks it's just obvious to his audience that if you say Rosa Parks was an activist, who intended to defy the law, that what happened to her isn't unfair, or otherwise doesn't count. After all, a compliant black person following instructions and staying out of trouble would probably be left alone, which means there's no acute situation in which attention is focused. Parks cheated by doing politics.
This is sort of their version of the "he crossed state lines" bit. Whatever preceded Rittenhouse's presence at a riot in 2020 didn't matter as soon as a violent assailant eagerly gave him the confrontation many were hoping to see happen. And it didn't really matter what was in Parks' mind when she refused to move, the point is the system she was protesting did exactly what the activists wanted, which was highly embarrassing to it because so few can defend the actual application of the law.

@Recursion_Agent @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ Matt Walsh started this round of the discourse and is mentioned in the original screenshot we are all replying to, but nice attempt at poisoning the well
English
@bitham02 @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ Walsh os not here and to my recollection, nobody has brought him up. So this is a bizarre insert for an an ad hominem.
English
@Recursion_Agent @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ I have no clue about your politics. Matt Walsh however is a facist and there is a very obvious reason he is so fixated on this complete nothingburger. He is not arguing this because he is obsessed with historical accuracy, it’s just his own racial grievances.
English
@bitham02 @goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ You can't argue reality. Nobody here is anything like a fascist. Deliberate activism is fine, actually, there's no need to lie to children about why it was necessary. Lying hurts, not helps.
It's disturbing that you can't see that.

@SirNathan52 @TiffaniMarie483 @mikey_likesit76 But it’s actually more like Question: Would it be ok for me to say “you’re an idiot”?
“You’re an idiot” is a statement in this context not a question in itself, the question is “would it be ok for me to say this thing”. So it feels unnatural to put the question mark inside
English
@TiffaniMarie483 @mikey_likesit76 "Question?" Quotation marks are the last punctuation. Except with parentheses, brackets, and braces, I believe.
English
When I’m using quotes but have to end the sentence, where do I put the period?
Would it be “quote”.
Or “quote.”
English
@goblinodds @JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ @Recursion_Agent Is it just “fine” to argue it was still good? Is it also “fine” to argue that the civil rights movement was bad actually? Because that’s the implication of the “bad taste” you people keep saying is left in your mouths.
It seems an extremely suspect thing to get upset about
English
@JimmytheButt202 @AnechoicMedia_ @Recursion_Agent it's fine to argue that it was still good that she did this but the fact is the way the story is presented is bullshit and that leaves a bad taste in people's mouths when they find out!
English
@CdrNobody @goblinodds You should be skeptical. Do you not see the obvious cope and mental gymnastics at play here?
“Actually this story about Jesus means the exact opposite of what people have interpreted for a thousand years and it perfectly validates my politics”
English
@goblinodds Interesting. I'm always very skeptical of any any "This famous parable actually means the exact opposite!"
You're making me more willing to believe this one. Guess I need to do some digging on my own.
English
not interested in the immigration commentary here but this is fascinating bc "jesus figuring out that effective nonviolent resistance is essentially malicious compliance, forcing hostile actors to show their asses to their community" makes WAY more sense than "jesus was just like 'let people do whatever they want to you no matter what bc that's what it means to be a good person'"
the latter sounds like an insane reading on reflection but i spent 14 years in religious schools (lutheran preschool, kindergarten through 12th grade catholic school) including having to take a religion class evey single semester, and the latter, not the former, was the understanding i came away with!!

"According to Jesus we're supposed to turn the other cheek when we're hurt, right?" "Yes. In Jesus' time, a person that backhanded your cheek was treating you as lesser. So you turn the other cheek, forcing them to strike you as an equal." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "The contention is that immigrants are allowed to treat us as lesser because they come from incompatible cultures and attack us. But we can't then tell them no, because that's 'racist'." "That seems contrary to what Jesus taught." "It is, and amazingly so. Non-Christians often seize on the idea that Jesus advocated for non-violence to tell Christians to shut up and take what's being done to them." "Are you sure that's what Jesus taught? It's not like you could ask him personally. He predates you by a millennium, right?" "Jesus makes the same point with the story of giving away your cloak, and with going the extra mile. In the latter's case, a Roman soldier could make an Israelite carry anything like a pack mule for up to a mile. It was a humiliation. But Jesus told them to carry it another mile, to treat the Roman as you would a friend, which would both shame them and force them to treat you as a person instead of a mule." "What about the cloak?" "When you're poor and living in an ancient society, your cloak is vital for getting through the cold nights. In Jesus' time, it was common to get around this by demanding the other person give you their shirt. But if you give them the cloak as well, it is a deliberate provocation: if they take the shirt and cloak, they will be shamed by the community." "And... the good samaritan?" "The point was the man who was a neighbor was not the priest or the Levite, but the one who showed mercy to his neighbor. It doesn't say 'everyone is your neighbor', in fact it states the opposite rather plainly. It's your actions that make you a neighbor, NOT your ethnicity." "So, not everyone is your neighbor?" "The neighbor shows mercy to those who have been hurt." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "Nothing. They've decided it means that you must allow immigrants to raid and attack you and treat you like garbage without retaliation of any sort. You can't even say 'stop it' without being declared racist." "Then why did he bring up Christianity at all?" "Because he's not a Christian and doesn't understand it."

@Manub951 @Wikingenieria The difference between being able to answer the question or not is anyways whether they know X⁰ = 1. Anyone who knows this is able to answer correctly and whoever doesn’t can’t and so the hint is kinda meaningless

@summanager @yhdistyminen I would be more sympathetic to the conservatives if they wouldn’t use their divinely ordered stack as justification for dehumanizing those with a worse placement
English
I continue to be fascinated by the inaccessible individualism of liberals (the individual as a unique random sample, that should be evaluated in the context of the population from which it is sampled) and the individualism of conservatives (the individual as a unique deterministic sample from a divinely set sequence). It’s obvious to me that the randomness of the universe is true divinity, but I am sympathetic to those that convince themselves we are but units popped off some intelligently ordered stack.

I will say there is definitely a racial split to this. White people are generally just overreacting, but every black guy I know has wild stories about dating in that community. Like women regularly conditioning a first date on the guy cashapping them $100 to get their nails done.

@TwinkRegimer @Hater_T0t I don’t think they’re afraid of saying that. It’s more like they are afraid the natural conclusion of the argument will be an effective cudgel against their political goals. Deep down they know their worldview is wrong and unpopular
