Antifa Turkeesian posted:People on twitter don’t actually mean what they say, but rather use things and events as an occasion to adopt a certain rhetorical posture that is some combination of strident, patronizing, moralistic, dismissive, and contemptuous. It doesn’t matter what’s being discussed or what might be true, but only what a person can do with the subject rhetorically. I would have said this was bad the other day, but after getting into an exhausting convo with some idiot saying Critical race theory is as bad as terrorism and his buddy in the thread saying the Tulsa massacre was really a massacre of white ppl, I can see the appeal. Why try to connect to these fucks.

tokin opposition posted:Nobody involved in a ngo is going to be leftists. They tend to push out anyone to the left of Liz warren Never guess who this about Adolph Reed in 1996 posted:“In Chicago, for instance, we’ve gotten a foretaste of the new breed of foundation-hatched black communitarian voices; one of them, a smooth Harvard lawyer with impeccable do-good credentials and vacuous-to-repressive neoliberal politics, has won a state senate seat on a base mainly in the liberal foundation and development worlds. His fundamentally bootstrap line was softened by a patina of the rhetoric of authentic community, talk about meeting in kitchens, small-scale solutions to social problems, and the predictable elevation of process over program — the point where identity politics converges with old-fashioned middle-class reform in favoring form over substance. I suspect that his ilk is the wave of the future in U.S. black politics, as in Haiti and wherever else the International Monetary Fund has sway. So far the black activist response hasn’t been up to the challenge. We have to do better.” Personally have had alot of bad vibes from meeting ppl who work for NGOs abroad. Plenty if good ones but there's alot that exist just to create an investmwnt vehicle for awful rich ppl and employ newly minted Ivy League psychos who love to yell at minorities abroad

christmas boots posted:Because that deal didn't technically exist in writing (although it did exist as a press release which iirc stated that the intention was to prevent Cosby from being able to plead the 5th during the civil case) the following DA didn't feel bound by the agreement and used the testimony. The courts ruled that the testimony was illegally used and that due to the scale of damage it did, not only does it pretty much ruin any chance of a fair trial going forward, the only way to remedy the damage is to return things to the situation where he couldn't be prosecuted. The PA Supreme Court recently ruled that the cops promising that someone who is promised by thr cops that they wouldnr be prosecuted could have their ensuing testimony allowed even if a lawyer wasnt present. Guess the diff btw this dude and Cosby

Pelosi was such a wildly bad rebuttal that its actually interesting. The big dividing line in our politics right now that seperates those that arent on the right spectrum of American politics is between those who believe a capitalist economy is inherently good and what it needs is flaking off some of its gains for the poor, after insane tests to make sure they're poor. And those who believe capitalism is itself flawed, that it inherently is a suction mechanism to gather wealth to a small few, and the only answer to that is the government taking over more and more of what has been monopolized or purloined by the capitalist elites. People who voice the latter should be supported. Everything else is noise.

I'm reading No Good Men Men Among the Living and I am astounded by how many times American soldiers machine gunned pro American Afghani officials and civilians. Mayor's waving flags and poo poo were hand cuffed and executed in schools by American soldiers who then got a star for it. What the gently caress

drat horror queefs posted:I suspect the vast majority of people taking the NYC subway are probably fairly wealthy on average, given they can afford to live within NYC itself. 2.4 million New Yorkers use the subway everyday. Everyone uses it and the only people who don't can afford to buy and park their cars which is way more rare.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:“being a cop is a form of being a person” —— incredible phrase If you ever known anyone who had become a cop, it's pretty wild how the most mild mannered person transforms to someone who could bully on a dime. It's an occupation that is deleterious to the human spirit.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:But Lutheranism is Reformed, not Protestant? It cuts off before this part quote:Just criticizing the pope, or a bishop, is not Protestantism. Telling people to stop listening to them (when they’re so obviously in error) is not Protestantism either. As a former Protestant teacher, I ought to know a thing or two about Protestantism. Criticizing the pope, doesn’t make you Protestant, but rejecting the office of the papacy itself does What an oddball.
