theflyingorc posted:Cool, I'm sure you have some recent scholarly data backing up your point? I'm sure in your head, you're fighting a noble battle to force the awful D&D echo chamber to acknowledge that racism recognizes no state boundary, particularly when it comes to killings by police. But in this, you have made two errors: first, the assumption that the awful D&D echo chamber does not already recognize this. Second, you're arguing semantics when people are sitting here telling you that "yeah, I feel nervous driving through a state where I see the Confederate flag on every other bumper sticker." Lo & behold the data does in fact back up their nervousness, yet you insist the low-ish odds that random SA goon will personally be lynched puts it on the level of worrying about shark attacks. You do know they post signs on beaches if there's an elevated risk of shark attack, right? Confederate flag bumper stickers are the racial equivalent of those shark beach signs. theflyingorc posted:In all honesty, it sounds like the majority of the disagreement is that I'm operating under a different definition of what constitutes a lynching than others do?

Stereotype posted:My close buddy is strongly worried about her being a warhawk too, but I just don't believe it. Our intervention in Libya was GOOD. Our lack of intervention in Syria was BAD. She isn't going to start a random gently caress off quasi-personal war like Bush did (or Trump SURELY would), and hate it as much as you want, we've spent the past five decades arming every idiot in the world with weapons that can cause enormous amounts of casualties and we just may need to step in and make sure some sociopath tyrant doesn't try to murder everyone near him. I also think her time as Secretary of State should have convinced most reasonable people that she's not going to be GWB 2.

Why should I accept your apology when you were willing to fight tooth and nail with the black posters here until literally a white person told you that you were wrong, then that's the moment you decided maybe you should reevaluate your line of thinking? Nah, you're a racist, and there is no forgiveness to be had. Edit: There's no forgiveness to be had with that Trump-level apology. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

PhazonLink posted:You know, maybe saying Donnie is Hitler is unfair. Operation Barbarossa was exactly turning the European theater from a one front war to a two front war. And depending on your definition of civil war, there was the Night of the Long Knives. Main difference between Trump and Hitler there though is that Hitler's purge was successful.

lozzle posted:Careful that's heresy among ~true, enlightened progressives~. Of all the things that people believe, "American interference in Libya's civil war was bad" is the most frustrating. We didn't DO MUCH. We basically just blew up American made supplies from afar that Gaddafi got from us in the 70s and 80s when boomers decided they loved money more than anything in the world. It was basically the perfect intervention, and yet people keep talking about it like it was some colossal failure.

Stacks posted:No, I don't think I could vote for someone like Hillary Clinton: Hillary Clinton is not a hawk unparalleled in the Democratic Party and you're a loving idiot for saying so. She is more hawkish than certain elements of the Progressive and further Left part of the Democratic Party and other leftist and Libertarian parties. In relation to the Democratic Party as a whole she is at worst average in her hawkishness. theflyingorc posted:You're entirely correct, and i should have made sure i understood terminology before i said anything. You went beyond definitional disagreement and were demanding scholarly articles about black deaths in the South after repeatedly being linked arguments about Sundown towns which showed that the people you were arguing with weren't talking about textbook, stereotypical, rope and tree lynchings.

ErIog posted:NYT will win. Not even the US government has been able to take down the grey lady in court. NYT lawyers are probably salivating at the idea of being able to take down Trump and force him to pay exorbitant legal fees in the ensuing loss. I think the big question is whether they will move for summary dismissal or if they will instead jump at the chance to get an under-oath deposition on Trump and his campaign staff.

As I've talked about some before, central California is a political battleground right now, with conservative voters holding disproportionate sway over our water use and thus the environment. I've been working to support democratic candidates in those regions. I am not welcome there. My life is frequently threatened, obliquely and overtly. But instead of being able to turn to my fellow progressives, the people working on the same goals as me, part of the same teams, if I so much as betray a moment's hesitation before walking into a confederate-flag-bedecked bar to canvas the locals, all the lovely white boys chime in with WELL BUT DO YOU HAVE CITATIONS. PROVE TO ME. NOTHING YOU THINK OR FEEL IS VALID UNTIL A WHITE ACADEMIC HAS MADE IT OFFICIAL. In twenty years they'll be running for office, bragging about their work "in the trenches" with the POC community. What heroes they all are.
