Anybody remember that war (world war 2) where black people were asked to fight in a war for freedoms they did not enjoy and would not enjoy when they returned for decades longer?

That's kinda what you guys are asking me to do with bigots except instead of going to war preparing to die in battle, one day one of those bigots is gonna knife me 50 times, and in the meantime roadblock me every chance they get leading up to that moment

I don't know why people continue to act like her getting fired was some weird and cruel decision. She was a PR rep who had her personal account linked directly to her professional account. That's like acting bewildered that a health inspector got fired for dipping his balls in the soup at PaneraI've

She was featured in "so you've been publicly shamed. Her life got destroyed, all the while tens of thousands of people cheering for her destruction. Her name is forever linked to that incident, with most avenues closed off. And for what? A lovely joke intended for one of her 170 followers?


I think hailing all Twitter mob justice as a great thing is a careless move. An anonymous mob passes judgement, effectively making you for the rest of your life. Is that something to applaud? Is that an instrument of justice?

"So you've been publically shamed posted:

Her destruction was justified, Sam Biddle was saying, because Justine was a racist, and because attacking her was punching up. They were cutting down a member of the media elite, continuing the civil rights tradition that started with Rosa Parks, the hitherto silenced underdogs shaming into submission the powerful racist. But I didn’t think any of those things was true. If punching Justine Sacco was ever punching up - and it didn’t seem so to me, given that she was an unknown PR woman with 170 Twitter followers - the punching only intensified as she plummeted to the ground.

You're comparing yourself to people who actually fought in ww2??! That's kind of narcissistic. Also black people at the time didn't get to have sweet six figure salary tech jobs.

Welcome to the internet. That's how people argue on the internet.

This is why debates are a worthless waste of time. On the internet, people come to more and more wildly diverging opinions because they can literally construct their own ideological world. Everything is either ruthlessly depoliticized or totally politicized. The internet didn't bring us together- it put us all in our own little worlds.

I was comparing the concept and intentionally omitted the war part you fuckwit but if you really want to go there the odds of dying as an american soldier In ww2 is 1:56 and the chances of being murdered as trans is 1:12

The thing about debates is that no one who is open to changing their opinion watches them. Instead, people of a particular ideology go to watch their guy debate and then pretty much consider them the winner. Nothing changes.

If I were just an uninterested observer, why the gently caress would i waste my time watching a debate.

Worse still, even those who may have an open mind to the debate find themselves lacking a lot of crucial information about the important issues being debated. Now most people rely on television news, which by its very nature must condense information into a few densely-packed seconds of simple exposition, and this process has never been ideal for presenting any issue in any level of depth.

As newspapers have taken a backseat to relevance, people rely on online news to try and fill in that information void, where they are easy targets for the massive, massive, massive network of disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda posing as news that currently circulates the web.

Having been excreted by an education system that has crippled their ability to think, with plenty of subtle propaganda sprinkled therein, the average American is basically taught a lie, and goes out into a world that they think is one way, but it the other way.
