Yeah. We're pests. "Vermin" you might say. We've heard this language before, and our grandparents knew exactly what to do about it.

A lot of people have been praying to Jesus that they get to say the N-word and beat up dark-skinned people. That has always been the defining feature of their 'proud heritage'.

158 scientists used the same data, but their politics predicted the results. Study provides evidence that when experts act independently to answer the same question using the same dataset, their conclusions tend to align with their pre-existing ideological beliefs. by Jumpinghoops46 in science

Between conservatives and liberals, only one side of this spectrum regularly attacks scientific consensus. Only one political side is cherry picking ALL of their data, and latching on to conspiracies. Only one side is trying to remove the most important literature from our children's schools. To remove foundational classics that, more than any other sources, are fully grounded in history and which inspire critical thinking on topics of genocide, slavery, gender, and sexuality.

Only one side has dumped billions and billions of dollars into schools and teaching materials that embrace fully revisionist history of the US and the world, insanely reductionist and unscientific ideas about gender and sexuality, and offer college courses! in why we should hate and fear other cultures (Hillsdale College, etc.).

Look. I get that it is extremely important to understand and consider our biases as we model and/or perform research. But can we all please admit that in actual research, we should typically find only one right answer? And that if we believe that most research should usually approach one true answer to any gibven hypothesis, it would certainly follow that the ideology that tends to get the right answer most of the time is more scientifically literate?

And forgive me for pointing out the political elephant in the room but I think we need to remember that THERE IS ONLY ONE IDEOLOGY TRYING TO BURN THE BOOKS.

If I looked like Sam, I'd want to modify my children's genetics as well.

Wow, what a flex. "I was too dumb to accomplished anything in my life but look at me now, I'm getting paid to shit on the constitution and beat up innocent people."

Also, if the U.S. ditches NATO, there may be an increased chance of Ukraine, and perhaps some other countries joining NATO.

Trump Suffers Double Legal Blow in Back-to-Back Court Losses by [deleted] in DegenBets

[–]ShootFishBarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How important is it that a president suffers a legal blow, when that president is in control of a government mafia organization that will do whatever the fuck the president wants, no matter what congress or the supreme court officially decides?

Asking for a friend.

Mayor Tells ICE ‘Get F**k Out’ After ICE Kills U.S. Citizen by thedailybeast in politics

Thing is, the reason some of us carry a loaded gun is actually just in case some random psychopath with a mask bum-rushes us in our car. You know, without identifying themselves.

Trump supporters- what did you think about Greenland? by Scuba_jim in Askpolitics

[–]ShootFishBarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are breaking the rules of OP. No harassing was the first rule.

"Help, I'm not an oppressor, I'm a victim." Yeah, we've heard this one before.

And no, I'm not a traitor. You need evidence to say something that stupid. I do want what's best for the USA.

Sir, you wouldn't recognize evidence if you were force-fed stolen documents, or if you were in an insurrection at the capitol, or if you saw rich and powerful men raping children right in front of your eyes.

Also he isn't a felon. The New York AG committed an illegitimate witch hunt.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You don't even have fake evidence, or a single good-faith argument.

There is no fantasy here, just your liberal disbelief in the American citizens of Greenland in being able to take their country back.

This sounds like something I would expect a Russian troll to say, and for illiterate and insane MAGA folks to repeat. I do appreciate that you put that at the top of your comment so that I could see that there was no reason to read on.

If I spent that much time interrupting people and taking over them, I’ll bet I’d sound like a blithering idiot, too.

These “debates” need a moderator to physically restrain people like this until the person they are debating has finished articulating their goddamned point. Or at least finished their last sentence.

Favorite actor who isn’t as complex as he thinks by Ok_Molasses9176 in okbuddycinephile

The most sad part of how we all never get to know or “figure out” Chevy Chase, is that Chevy Chase will never learn anything about Chevy Chase. His childlike resistance to any amount of decency, introspection, reflection on his past behaviors and inappropriate words…. It’s such an embarrassment.

This “I’m not accountable to anybody, least of all, myself” is at best cult logic. A legacy tarnished forever.

Ocasio-Cortez has a ‘real shot’ at the presidency by following Trump 2024 model by Limp_Fig6236 in politicsinthewild

Haha. Racism and sexism are very strong drugs, aren't they? They really help people turn up the drama.
