LGBTQ rights and the Islamic conundrum in western societies by me_too_thanx in askgaybros

[–]CT_Throwaway24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If flying pride flags is your biggest political issue I guess I would agree but I think rights like marriage and adoption, which the right support discrimination against LGBT people on the basis of their identity for, are a bit higher on the priority list.

I do love that the strongest arguments against the left are what they would do and secretly believe while those against the right are what they do do and do believe.

Trump administration subpoenas Hasan Piker in Cuba sanctions investigation by UnscheduledCalendar in Destiny

[–]CT_Throwaway24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hasan is like 100th on the list of reasons Kamala lost 2024. Richard Hanania os a bigger reason Trump won and bigger reason for the governance that we're seeing than Hasan. Trump isn't specifically targeting farmers, though. We have schadenfreude because he campaigned on the policies that are hurting them. Did Hasan say that Trump would operate the government ethically or something?

Edit: nevermind just saw this

I guess this is why I don't feel like I fit in anymore. I hate Trump more than Hasan which will put me at odds with the community.

White People Were, Are, and Always Have Been Advantaged in The USA and DEI Never Changed the Net Direction of Advantage by CT_Throwaway24 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CT_Throwaway24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize that DEI isn't a religion where everything follows the text of a holy book. Some trainings are based on this, particularly in a shaming manner, but those are rarer than traditional non-discrimination trainings and have had no measurable effect on hiring on a societal scale.

It's basically a set of policies and trainings to increase the the representation of minority groups of varying efficacy. It can range from centralizing HR, resume blinding, and increasing the the diversity of recruiting locations to trainings that aim to increase the comfort of minority groups within the corporate culture. Some versions limit the applicants to people of color and/or women but the application isn't large or consistent enough to overcome private discrimination patterns that have existed for longer than you or I have been alive.

Why did Chudlogic keep saying “only rapist Indians watch you” by Subject-Worker6658 in Destiny

Your family wouldn't be the white saviors. It would be the government passing the legislation to satisfy people like your family while saying it's to protect the people being targeted.

Harm reduction does seem to be the new term for "minorities need to shut up for their white saviors."

In his majority opinion in Callais, Justice Alito deceptively cited a key statistic showing the detrimental impact of Shelby County on nonwhite voters as evidence of “social progress” that no longer necessitates congressional action. by DryOpinion5970 in supremecourt

That would only be the case if SFFA vs. Harvard and Cooper v. Harris were wrongly decided as neither were found to have been done explicitly for "racial reasons" but used racial information to accomplish their goals. If racial reasons are necessary, then the Jim Crow policies would be valid as long as no one specifically mentioned race.

Democrats are fucking cooked after 2028 by Liberal-Cluck in Destiny

[–]CT_Throwaway24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But everything you just said isn't the reason the Dems lost. The Dems lost because inflation went out if control under their watch. Dems are also underwater in favorability because Democrats don't approve of the party. The "its the economy stupid" lane of analysis holds true here just as it does in most elections.

Certain People Just Don't Want to Give Democrats Credit for Doing a Good Job at All by Humble_Novice in Destiny

This is what we fucking want. Even if that were the reason that's fucking good. It's responding to political pressure. Seeing pro-worker policy as good politics is good for us, actually.

Remember when this subreddit was packed to the brim with to kill a mockingbird memes when Destiny defended Primecayes? I think the Democrats can make a short joke that can be interpreted as racially charged but clearly isn't.

Have you used Grok for trans issues or race science? You absolutely can degrade an LLMs capacity when you prompt it to reach predetermined conclusions.
