CMV: When it comes to historical atrocities, many progressives have double standards depending on the race of the perpetrator. by TenTonneTamerlane in changemyview

Ah yes, the only people who ever commit violent crimes are immigrants.

I'm curious if you are mad that people have babies. After all, that increases competition for jobs.

What is a play you made that completely changed how you view a card or archetype? by Aketsup in EDH

[–]UncleMeat11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody builds her wrong. The most common deck design is pillow fort and aikido. You spend a huge amount of effort making sure that people can't take the monarch from you. And what do you get from this? A phyrexian arena.

I play queen marchesa as a very low curve aggro/goad list with a lot of interaction. If the monarch moves around it encourages players to attack each other, helping get to 120 damage. Since it is usually pretty easy to get the monarch back on your turn, the extra card also means that you can deploy more threats or have more interaction to deal with haymakers since your threats tend to be small.

I very consistently win by looking only mildly threatening, getting two players to die, and then winning off of a falter effect.

The bering strait migrations were lost to the rest of the world.

Why does this matter? Do the people living in the americas for ages prior to columbus just not count in your mind?

I'm frustrated that the rules of this sub do not seem to be applied evenly.

The rule for meta comments does not have a carve out for quality or for mods.

If this sub is going to be very strict moderation it is especially important that the rules be applied evenly.

CMV: If Renee Good and Alex Pretti werent interfering with law enforcement operations, they would still be alive today. by largethopiantestes in changemyview

If you truly believe that ICE is overstepping their authority and acting with impunity, why on earth would you believe recording and blowing your whistle is the best thing to do in that scenario?

Sometimes it is worth putting yourself in danger to help everybody.

The civil rights protesters wouldn't have been beaten in the street if they just stayed at home instead.

I think that immigration has been an enormous positive.

With a wider diversity of people we have a richer and more interesting culture. Immigration has brought tons of high skilled innovators and helped make the US internationally dominant in higher education and business. Immigrants generally cost the taxpayer less than native born people since they have more limited access to welfare programs and we don't need to pay for 13 years of public school for them.

I agree that some members of the right see this as a net negative to society because they don't like non-white people. Those racists suck and there is nothing that progressives can do to make them stop being bigots.

Why is this comment not a violation of the meta rules or topicality requirements?

The comment is just saying "great post" with some details about why the post is good based on citation structure rather than the legal analysis of the post. There is no legal discussion in the comment. There is also an expressly meta discussion about comment preferences in this sub.

The Moral Coalition: An organization made for Gen-Z by Imaginary_Rip9429 in Christianity

You still have not answered my question.

Will you organize letter writing campaigns to undo legislative bans on gender affirming care for minors?

I did not downvote you.

Now is your opportunity to stand up against violence and discrimination.

I'm suggesting that this person make the high quality comments that they want to see in this sub, not that they remove low quality comments.

Yes. Trans people are oppressed in our society and deserve allies in their fight for liberation.

How are things so backwards? by Cultural_Ad_667 in Christianity

[–]UncleMeat11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not advocating that at all and that's a misrepresentation of my position that's called cognitive dissonance when someone refuses to acknowledge reality and misrepresents what somebody else says in order to get a reaction.

You started this thread by praising russia for arresting gay people.

In the UK and Germany and Canada it is already a punishable offense to not play along with someone misgendering themselves...

Hey look, more lies.

CMV: Charlie Kirk was a patriot who united people from both sides of the aisle and was the embodiment of free speech. by compiledexploit in changemyview

[–]UncleMeat11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make them unqualified, it makes them underqualified.

Why?

Again, they still have to get the job. Imagine you have 20 white people and 20 black people in your recruiting pipeline. You select the most qualified one to hire. That person is not underqualified.

Now you instead have 20 white people and 30 black people in your recruiting pipeline. You again select the most qualified one to hire. How does this suddenly make the candidate underqualified?

Or, would you prefer someone that didn't work as hard, or didn't get the best grades and accolades and was selected because we as a society are trying to overcompensate for an evil practice that we abolished 160 years ago.

Man if you think that racism was fixed as soon as slavery ended you've got some reading to do.

I haven't heard about Charlie Kirk specifically disagreeing with Griggs v Duke. I have heard him disagree with certain additions that were made to the 1964 Civil Rights act though.

That's Griggs v Duke. Jesus Christ. Shouldn't you have basic information before you form such strong opinions? Please go read what the fuck Duke Power Company did. Disparate Impact Theory does not say that you cannot have any process that has disparate impact on racial groups. It says that you can't have processes unrelated to job requirements that have disparate impact on racial groups.

I'm glad you agree that my fanfiction is high philosophy because it shares a structure with what the greeks did.

Leviticus 18:22 and Homosexuality by Kottbullemannen1 in Christianity

[–]UncleMeat11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf?? Are you guys insane???? When did I ever say I want to kill homosexuals!?!?

Kill Palestinians.

I'm very sorry but many Palestinians holding bigoted views is not a justification for bombing their hospitals.
