STRAIGHT TROPIN'


Maybe I am young, but I had the impression that the Left in the 60s through...maybe the 90s?...encouraged rational thinking alongside active cooperation between movements for oppressed groups whilst acknowledging that these movements needn't be inclusive to ~everyone~.

So how did we get to the point where an entire generation of people associated as "leftists" (and who believes they are indeed the champions of the left it seems) are no-platforming people who have dissenting opinions (who are often left-leaning or marginalized themselves)? How did we get to the point where rapists, abusers, child predators, "incels", and racists are being welcomed with open arms into these movements within the Left (specifically the LGBT movements)?

Culturally, politically, and academically, how did we get here?

English is the worst loving language. I just found out 'a' or 'an' isn't dependent on vowel or consonants, but whether the next letter sounds like a vowel or consonant.
Actually, vowels and consonants are sounds. The idea that particular letters are vowels is misleading, and why there's confusion of things like whether Y is a vowel or not.

Josef bugman posted:

See I don't use English well because I have real difficulty understanding the structure. I can do talking, but I genuinely have difficulty with poo poo like "what is a noun".
A noun is a thing, whether concrete (table, fish, unicorn) or abstract (love, magic, art). But knowing that doesn't really help with everyday language use. :shrug:

I don't know about English being non-intuitive, but when I went to school they just didn't really teach English grammar at all, so most of my grammar education was in LOTE classes.

It's what the translators put there, anyway. The anime is constantly making fun of its characters though, so that sequence looks worse out of context.

Trump is appointing Russel Vought to be deputy director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Bernie decided to probe into anti muslim comments Russ made while at super conservative Wheaton Christian college.


quote:

Sen. Sanders: "'Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ, His Son, and they stand condemned.' Do you believe that that statement is Islamophobic?"

Mr. Vought: "Absolutely not, Senator. I'm a Christian, and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith...

Sanders: "...Forgive me, we just don't have a lot of time. Do you believe people in the Muslim religion stand condemned? Is that your view?"

Vought: "Again, Senator, I'm a Christian, and I wrote that piece in accordance with the statement of faith at Wheaton College..."

Sanders: "I understand that. I don't know how many Muslims there are in America. Maybe a couple million. Are you suggesting that these people stand condemned? What about Jews? Do they stand condemned too?"

Vought: "Senator, I'm a Christian..."

Sanders: "I understand you are a Christian, but this country [is] made of people who are not just -- I understand that Christianity is the majority religion, but there are other people of different religions in this country and around the world. In your judgment, do you think that people who are not Christians are going to be condemned?"

Vought: "Thank you for probing on that question. As a Christian, I believe that all individuals are made in the image of God and are worthy of dignity and respect regardless of their religious beliefs. I believe that as a Christian that's how I should treat all individuals..."

Sanders: "...Do you think that's respectful of other religions?... I would simply say, Mr. Chairman that this nominee is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about."

The comments on this one are a loving poo poo show of racists on both sides of the spectrum. You've got the people who openly hate Inuit, you have the left-wing PC people that think they're some kind of "noble savage" with beautiful art and culture, like their existence is some kind of entertainment for them to consume. You have the white knights swooping in to defend those who clearly can't defend themselves. Or lumping them in with other First Nations groups to proclaim their love of their beautiful culture like it's a single entity and not hundreds of different cultures.

Maybe if there were actual people living in Northern communities weighing in with their thoughts on how allegedly legitimate their culture and lifestyle is, there could be a bit more of a balanced conversation going on. But right now it's just a whole lotta white people giving their opinions on something they know nothing about.

Knowing English the answer is probably yes.

My prime, and only, language is English. I can put a sentence together and understand what sounds stupid when read aloud, but I have real difficulty knowing all the structural underpinnings of how our language works.

I have to read out virtually everything I write to myself to make sure I am not cocking it up.
