i don't have full context for this but someone seems to have convinced high-ups in the LA police to go on a zoom call where members of the public can call in and the results are glorious. do check out the full thread and replies: https://twitter.com/keywilliamss/status/1267929996430991360 e: the live video is here, it's apparently on break at the moment but still going on after several hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz0CKlGj3uI Angepain fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jun 3, 2020 |

When I first heard it I thought it was a variant of the stupid "colourblind" mantra of "I don't care if you're white, black, or purple!" because the idea that police are a class that need protecting was just too stupid. it is a meaningful movement for rights for our alien friends who despite initial diplomatic misunderstandings only wanted to have a 90s eurodance party

Guavanaut posted:Who is erasing the concept of sex? Is that what rubbing one out means? it's the standard terf reliance on the meanings of words. if we "weaken" the definition of "woman" to not mean "people born with vaginas" then we will be completely incapable of talking about people born with vaginas as a whole. Which is the only classification that matters as they have already built a nice little theory built on that alone being where all forms of sexism comes from. it's kind of the "changing the definition of marriage" argument reheated slightly, though this time it's relying on the absolute authority of second-wave feminism rather than the Bible. their form of feminism is built from the ground up on a set of rigid axioms and any threat to those must be a plot to destroy them. like if students of euclidean geometry refused to acknowledge observed distortions in space due to gravity and said people claiming they exist were trying to destroy the concept of triangles Angepain fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jun 6, 2020 |

real intellectuals know that your knowledge on a subject is based on the raw numbers of pages of text that you have been able to scan with your eyeballs, and nothing to do with say, critical thinking or examining your own preconceived notions yada yada. i for example have read thousands of distinct works online by a diverse range of authors and so see myself as an authority on biological compatibility between human and vulcan males

rabbit hole of compacted human poo poo, but how do TERFs treat things like hysterectomies or hormone imbalances? Do they think that a woman who loses her "woman parts" isn't (as much of) a woman any more?

OwlFancier posted:The ratios are heartening, not as good as I'd like but seems like every time she goes off about it they get better. like my first reaction to a lot of what she says is, "oh god, this is phrased pseudo-reasonably enough that third parties who are not well-versed in transphobic dog-whistling will think she's just stating a reasonable opinion", and i guess that may well be the purpose of a lot of terf and terf-adjacent language, so it is nice to see a wide range of people very much not falling for it there'll still be an article in the spectator defending her against the woke brigade or whatever but still

bessantj posted:That second tweet makes no sense to me. Does she think that recognising trans women means that 'women' ceases to exist as a category? it ceases to mean exactly what terfs want it to mean, and so becomes useless as a term in their eyes. terf: It is very important to consider discrimination against women (quiet voice: which i mean to be people born with vaginas and only people born with vaginas) trans people: wow defining women like that really ties in to a lot of hateful attitudes, we have a more complex understanding of what a "woman" is which is based on- terf: I AM BEING CALLED A BIGOT FOR TALKING ABOUT WOMEN. THEY WANT TO STOP WOMEN EXISTING. spectator columnist who only kramered in three seconds ago: wow these crazy trans people

those tweets are a great three-part story of good decisions "yes good on them. the statue should be put in a corner of a museum or something, not in a public place" "yes, good point. the statue should be put in a corner of a museum beaten up from being rolled around and specifically with the arse detached" "okay yes, better idea, leave it to rot at the bottom of the river with maybe a viewing platform or something for people to spit on him from. maybe dredge it up in 20 years where it's still recognisable but rusted to hell and then stick it in the museum. with the arse still off."

Edinburgh people talking about the statue of Dundas in St Andrew Square, so I had a wee look at the guy's history for the first time in ever and while it would be quite difficult for a crowd to take down, wow jesus this guy was a waste of space:Edinburgh World Heritage posted:The imposing figure who stands on the top is Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, whose nicknames of ‘King Harry the Ninth’, the ‘Great Tyrant’ and the ‘Uncrowned King of Scotland’, tell their own story. Dundas trained as a lawyer but went on to have a highly successful political career, becoming MP for Midlothian in 1774 and shortly afterwards a government minister. As Home Secretary he used his influence to frustrate efforts to end the slave trade. At the outbreak of war with France he became Minister for War, and many historians blame him for much of the lack of organisation and confused planning in the campaigns that followed. In 1806 he was impeached for the misuse of public funds, and although found not guilty he never held office again. he may have supported the slave trade but people were mean to him so who is to say if he was good or bad

It's kinda weird (and telling) how desperate you are to rather than even have a vague discussion with me, or simply ignore me, you are trying to goad me into revealing a sin so you can screech witch at me and run me out of town. we'd quite like for you to state an actual position so we can discuss it in the debate and discussion forum rather than some broad-swathes generalisation about some unspecified people somewhere calling some unspecified people racist for doing or saying some unspecified thing when they are not in fact racist. specifying even one of those would be a nice step forward and would allow us to have an actual discussion where we don't just call you names. we might still call you some names if it turns out to be really dumb i admit but it would at least be able to be mixed with some actual exploration of actual concepts or you could just post what you really think about the validity of my gender identity and likely get probated again and we won't have to read your tedious posts both good options

also the "is somebody a racist" conversation is much less interesting than the "is this specific action or set of words racist" conversation and means a whole lot less in practical terms, which is perhaps why those who want to paint the entire left as cultish morons try to make it seem as if the latter conversation doesn't exist and the entire role of exploring racism in society is to generate a list of those who have sinned to be murdered. c.f. this video from 12 years ago, which manages to stay relevant in modern times despite referencing the concept of aggregating feeds in its first few seconds
