Lol Amber appears to be getting sued by a conservative NYU professor for defamation. (Hasn't come up in a while on the podcast but she does/did? teach writing I think to freshmen.)

Lol Amber appears to be getting sued by a conservative NYU professor for defamation. (Hasn't come up in a while on the podcast but she does/did? teach writing I think to freshmen.)

quote:

Calling himself “Deplorable NYU Prof,” Rectenwald started an undercover Twitter account, @antipcnyuprof, on Sept. 12, 2016, as a way to argue against the increasingly popular use of “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” on campuses across the country...

Rectenwald said the insults have had a lasting effect.

“It’s very painful to be accused of things that you haven’t done and have no basis in fact,” he told The Post in tears.

Rectenwald said he begged human resources to relocate him to the Russian-studies building three blocks away from his department, which they did in September.

“I felt unsafe,” he said.

Even the loving New York Post is clowning on this chump

In broad strokes, leftists oppose foreign intervention even when there's a Democratic WH occupant, dealing down the security apparatus a lot, tackling issues like police brutality and gerrymandering overtly and aggressively, and making Single Payer the new battle flag of the party. They value motivating the base and winning undecideds by offering quality of life, real gains, even if they burn bridges along the way, especially among the wealthier donors like Wall Street. And, of course, block GOP nominations/laws all the time, every time.

Liberals tend to conform to the status quo a lot more, arguing that nothing will change if they just turn people off by being too radical. Working within the system to try and get tax incentives to fields they see as beneficial, voting along with republicans several times in the belief that they might someday return the favor or because it's not worth it to break civility/disrupt the government to make a point. Antagonizing any powerful established group is a big no-no: Oil, coal, Pharma, health insurance, they are all a part of our beautiful tapestry and need love and representation. They will praise and ally with -almost- anyone further right who can offer a rethorical or political edge.

My bias is showing, but I hope that helped.

Associate professor Jacqueline Bishop joined in and called him the “short pants boy they call the devil” as well as a “coward,” “punk rear end” and “Adderall-filled bully.” She accused him of showing up to staff meetings “high and incoherent with your tongue sticking out the side of your mouth,” according to the suit.

It's two birds with one stone, they get to have their little "How dare you sir..." moment and pretend to be scrappy and interesting at the same time by bragging about their (great grandparent's) origins. I bet they're the same sort of white people who like to say "Oh I'm a total mutt, I'm a mix of German, Swiss, English, Polish....".

I find it funny that NPR decided to "take the high ground" and not use shithole in their broadcasts. As if there was ever some sort of decorum in politics.

You can, however, find out which of your friends primarily get their news from NPR cause they'll treat shithole like Voldemorts name.

https://twitter.com/thucydiplease/status/953394306454241280

Like I get her point that just saying 'do better men' won't fix lovely men magically but talking about only caring about 'power' when half of the story about him is 'dude has power over a woman to feel entitled to treat her lovely, and has power in the left by virtue of enough performative wokeness to get a legion of defense op-eds saying 'hrm perhaps #metoo is bad now that they talk about someone I like????' and call the victim a lying slut' is pretty dumb. The entire reason he's not only getting away with it but also his accuser is being called a stupid bitch who just regrets having sex like a slutty slut by the woke left and the alt-right alike is because he has power both culturally and as a 'superior' over someone 'worth' less, which is the entire point of marx's views on power where only one group can hold it at a time and as long as the workers don't they'll be oppressed even by their nominal allies...

I feel weird even joining a conversation about someone's Facebook posts, that I only see out of context on someone's Twitter posts, because Amber's not on Twitter and her Facebook is protected. So I have no choice but to not care.

the biggest issue I think is Amber's base point of 'you can't fix things by just saying MEN DO BETTER' and stuff like 'time's up' is just performative wokeness done by the powerful who have spent years covering for these people before it got out' is 100% right. She just seems to take it up to 11 in some 'and I don't even give a poo poo about this case' for no reason other than her thinking it's hosed up to do what he did won't magically make it not happen.
