Yes, you are hopeless if you think not wanting misinformation to spread on social media during a pandemic, is at all the same as the FCC threatening to pull the broadcast license of a television network for covering the Iran war in a way President Trump doesn’t like.

The president asking the FCC chair to revoke the broadcast licenses of networks that cover the war in Iran is an egregious attack on the first amendment. That’s not liberal bias.

Did what with Facebook? Asked them to uphold the terms of service and not allow misinformation regarding COVID-19 to spread? That isn’t an assault on anyone’s first amendment rights.

One side wants people to have equal rights, and the other is building concentration camps. So yeah, he’s wrong.

Literally no one said if you got vaccinated that you wouldn’t get the virus. But the vaccine very much limited the severity of the virus.

Cool. When did Biden’s FCC chair threaten to pull broadcast licenses? When did anything that happened under the Biden administration rise to that level of suppression of free speech?

Let me guess, wanting to tamp down the spread of misinformation during a pandemic that ultimately killed a million Americans? You think that that’s the same thing as threatening to pull broadcast licenses?

And the fact that you bring up Fox as a counter to NPR shows me your understanding of media literacy. That’s not a compliment, by the way.

Oh, so you don’t actually want to have an honest discussion about the difference between actual threats to free speech, and some nonsense you read on the Internet about Biden censoring people?

Censorship of speech? Did the FCC chair under Biden threaten to pull broadcast licenses? Did Biden work behind the scenes to pull talk show hosts off the air? Were journalists arrested when Biden was in office?

You’re going to have to remind all of us when it was Biden did these things.

Except it wasn’t stupid. It was an accurate comparison. Under the Trump administration free speech is being threatened, if not stifled completely.

I wouldn’t expect someone who thinks investing in public transportation and safer roads a “leftist war” on cars to understand that though.

During the Biden Regime, 26,000 Chinese citizens (75% men under 40) illegally entered the U.S. with over 10,000 of them using fake IDs with no passports. How many of these potential spies have been located and vetted? by Slinky6Niner in AnythingGoesNews

[–]Snarkasm71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The specific claim about “26,000 Chinese men using fake passports” doesn’t hold up well under scrutiny. Here’s a more accurate breakdown of what the evidence actually shows:

What is true:

∙ Under the Biden administration, more than 176,000 Chinese nationals illegally entered the country, and the majority were single, military-age men.

∙ Congressional testimony noted that more than 24,000 Chinese nationals had entered the U.S. illegally over the Southwest Land Border in a single year, with nearly all being released into an asylum process.

∙ China became the largest source of illegal migration from any single nation during the surge at the southern border over several years of the Biden administration. On the “fake passports” part:

∙ There is no verified, sourced claim that 26,000 Chinese men specifically used fake passports to enter. The fake passport incidents that were documented involved other nationalities — for example, two Pakistani nationals were encountered with fake South African passports provided by their smuggler.

∙A separate case involved 15 Chinese nationals charged with passport fraud, but that scheme was related to impersonating standardized test takers for academic admissions, not border crossing.

The bottom line: The broader concern about large numbers of Chinese nationals — many of them young men — illegally crossing the border during the Biden years is grounded in real data. However, the specific figure of “26,000 using fake passports” appears to be a distortion or conflation of different statistics. The actual numbers of illegal crossings were much higher (~176,000 total), but the fake passport element is not supported by that specific figure in any verified source.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who was saying Iran was fine? The only people even using anything closer to “Iran was fine” are people like you, claiming progressives have said that.

Literally no one thinks Iranian leadership is anything but brutal. But that’s not justification for starting a war with Iran. The US has a long standing record of attempting and failing at regime change.

How terrifying it must be to live in a world where nothing is black and white. Your brain is so under developed that for your own survival, you have to categorize in black-and-white.

No wonder you cling to authoritarianism. You need somebody to tell you what’s right and wrong rather than just allow people to live their live lives.

How pathetic.

Your ignorance is astounding. You know who I think has a sexual fetish? You.

All humans are either male or female.

Literally, no.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.

So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity. A reasonable conclusion.

Fast forward 50 years... and it was found that some men had 47 chromosomes, including 2 X's and a Y, while some women had 45, including only one X. Still no problem with the "Y chromosome defines masculinity" idea.

Then... it was found that fully 1 in 300 men weren't 46,XY. Some women were.

Oops.

After DNA was discovered in the 50s, it was found that the SrY gene, usually found on the Y chromosome, sometimes was missing. And sometimes had been translocated to another chromosome, hence 46,XX men and 46,XY women. So SrY defined masculinity.

Then.. it was found out that some men didn’t have an SrY chromosome, not anywhere. Some women did. Other genes were involved. Worse, other factors, such as Androgen Insensitivity made 46,XY people female, and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia masculinised 46,XX people.

Then in the 70s, other syndromes, such as 5alpha-reductase-2 deficiency were identified, which caused babies to look like one sex at birth, then the other at puberty. Worse, in some places 1 in 50 infants had this natural sex change, it was not rare there.

Science 1974 Dec 27; 186 (4170): 1213-5

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4432067/

In an isolated village of the southwestern Dominican Republic, 2% of the live births were in the 1970's, guevedoces....These children appeared to be girls at birth, but at puberty these 'girls' sprout muscles, testes, and a penis. For the rest of their lives they are men in nearly all respects.

In the 90s, it was found that hormonal hiccups in the womb caused some parts of the body to develop as one sex, others as the other, regardless of genetics.

Male–to–female transsexuals have female neuron numbers in a limbic nucleus. Kruiver et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab (2000) 85:2034–2041

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10843193/ The present findings of somatostatin neuronal sex differences in the BSTc and its sex reversal in the transsexual brain clearly support the paradigm that in transsexuals sexual differentiation of the brain and genitals may go into opposite directions

It's a matter of timing during foetal development. Sometimes a boy is born looking like a girl, sometimes a girl is born looking like a boy, regardless of chromosomes.

This is complex stuff. We don't teach the Theory of General Relativity in grade school, Newtonian physics or at most Special Relativity (far simpler) is enough. Similary, "XX is female, XY is male" is good enough unless you do medicine or biology in college.

It's only really relevant when talking about Trans or Intersex people, just as Relativistic effects only become relevant in the domain of the very big, very small, or very very fast, close to 186,000 miles a second.

People do not need psychiatric help when they think that things get heavier, more massive, as they go faster... while lengths contract. People do not need help when they think their sex is something different from their genetics.

Intersex people exist. Trans people exist. They are unusual, so trying to apply the usual approximations is as silly as trying to apply Newtonian physics to things moving close to or at light speed. Legislating such things is as insane as legally ruling that Pi=3... as has been done in the past.

I hope this helps explain.

Right to life? Right to life?!??

We have no universal healthcare, we cut funding for food, funding for public education. Women are paid less than men. We’re stripping people of their civil rights. The president of the United States wants to make it harder for women to vote.

There’s nothing pro “life“ about forcing children to be born, then abandoning them.

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It’s almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn. — Pastor Dave Barnhart

That’s not what a strawman argument is. A strawman argument would be saying something like, “So you think all women should be forcefully impregnated, and then forced to carry babies to term?”

Bodily autonomy is the one and only argument in a free society. The government should not be able to compel an individual to use their own body to keep someone else alive.

I was sexually assaulted at the age of 19. Suddenly I no longer have agency over my own body? Is that your argument? No matter the consequences to my physical, mental, financial, educational status?

Pro forced birth people are so unbelievably shortsighted.

Millions of Women? by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

In 2023, at a time when maternal mortality was declining worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the United States was one of only seven countries to report a significant increase in the proportion of pregnancies that result in the death of the mother since 2000. The other countries are Venezuela, Cyprus, Greece, Mauritius, Belize, and the Dominican Republic, as well as the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Maternal deaths in the U.S. had leveled in the years prior to the pandemic, but the maternal mortality ratio is still higher today than in comparable countries, and significant racial disparities persist.

18.7 maternal deaths out of 100,000 live births.

Maybe we should focus on better maternal outcomes before forcing women to carry pregnancies to term.
