NDP posted:Rall's analogy would only work if the "home invader" was a previous owner (or a descendant of a previous owner) of the house who had been unlawfully forced out of possession and later came back to claim what he thought was rightfully his. Now if the cartoon was about the relationship between the original inhabitants of the Americas, Australia, and South Africa and the settlers from Europe, it would be more accurate. Nah that's crazy. If Egypt invaded Israel tomorrow nobody would say the Egyptians were just taking back what was rightfully theirs, even though the land was Egyptian before it was Israel. As well genetic studies have shown the people living in Palestine are the descendants of the ancient Canaanite inhabitants, they mostly just converted to Islam over the centuries. They didn't kick out the ancestors of diaspora Jews, they're the descendants of the people who stayed

Skios posted:A.F. Branco What a loving mess- it's a current employee writing for Bari Weiss's platform. His supporting evidence for bias consists of "The audience has trended liberal over time according to surveys", by dismissing the idea that Trump officials colluded with Russia, endorsing the Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy theory, and endorsing a lab leak theory for Covid. His root belief in the causal factor: that NPR accepted the idea that systemic racism exists, and basically got politically correct over it. Those are the highlights, but it's basically a greatest hits of Weiss's "I swear I'm not a conservative, I am just being silenced for my beliefs...you know the ones" playbook.

Byzantine posted:If being forced out of a place is enough justification for coming back over a thousand years later and shooting everybody there, then I am glad to have the thread's support for the Greek return to the Levant. Yeah the idea that Iron Age borders are a casus belli, and people living today should be punished for stuff that happened thousands of years ago is nuts. If you took it seriously you'd bathe the whole world in blood forever. Even if the Palestinians were the descendants of foreign conquerors (and genetic testing has proven that they are not) it can't justify killing people over it now. Especially if you're going to be arbitrary about it and pick one Iron Age year when the people you like were in charge and ignore who was there before (why is it Israel's land, if all conquests should be reversed, well they weren't the original inhabitants anyway). The Franks and the Visigoths kicked the Romans out of France and Spain, so is Italy justified in conquering and ethnic cleansing those lands and all the other parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia where there rule was displaced by migrating tribes? Should Greece expel the Turks from Asia Minor and get the Byzantine Empire back? Or is it the Italians who get to do that? Or the Greeks again because of Alexander? Or Iran? African Americans' ancestors were unrightfully taken from their homes and sold into slavery, can they go back to Africa, rightfully shoot Africans still living there and take their homes? Obviously nobody, not even a diehard Zionist, would take this historical justification seriously and apply it consistently (if you did it would negate Zionism since, again, Israelites weren't the original inhabitants), but I suspect they don't really think about it that deeply, it's more of a pseudo-secular gloss on a religious or quasi-spiritual belief that God bequeathed the land to them.

Easy way to solve it- have the first panel make it clear the piece of paper is, like, '737-MAX Ground Crew Checklist'. Then dump the labels.

JamesBont posted:"How dare NPR have some sort of political bias!" - conservative cartoonists that likely get all their news from Fox, Newsmax, and OANN quote:In October 2020, the New York Post published the explosive report about the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer shop containing emails about his sordid business dealings. With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye. Here’s how NPR’s managing editor for news at the time explained the thinking: “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.” quote:Politics also intruded into NPR’s Covid coverage, most notably in reporting on the origin of the pandemic. One of the most dismal aspects of Covid journalism is how quickly it defaulted to ideological story lines. For example, there was Team Natural Origin—supporting the hypothesis that the virus came from a wild animal market in Wuhan, China. And on the other side, Team Lab Leak, leaning into the idea that the virus escaped from a Wuhan lab. quote:Given the circumstances of Floyd’s death, it would have been an ideal moment to tackle a difficult question: Is America, as progressive activists claim, beset by systemic racism in the 2020s—in law enforcement, education, housing, and elsewhere? We happen to have a very powerful tool for answering such questions: journalism. Journalism that lets evidence lead the way.

"You're voting for Biden, son?" "He impacted my life in a positive way and that is how voting is supposed to work. Also, corporate price gouging, the objectively true and proven primary cause of recent inflation, doesn't have anything to do with Biden because our capitalist free-market economy is literally designed to remove any ability for him to influence this. The people attacking Biden for this are the very same ones who are the most in favor of this separation of powers." "That explains the Che poster." The Taylor one is kinda funny.

The Cass Study just held studies supporting medical transition to impossible standards to get rid of them. It's like other studies where some part of the methodology is rotten and clearly done to undermine trans healthcare, and because the government is chomping at the bit for any excuse to throw trans people under the bus so they take it no questions asked. A good example is the Littman study that was thrown out by Brown because she only asked parents about transitioning. Like, the people a trans kid is most likely to come out to significantly later than anyone else, and do their damnedest to hide their transition until then. Yeah no poo poo parents are going to find their kid's coming out sudden. Like, how the hell do you manage a blind trial with HRT? Hope the kid is stupid enough to not ask questions when the drugs with very explicit physical changes don't yield any physical changes?
