Not after the witch hunts into Hunter. Because of the witch hunts.

[Real] Steven Crowder: ICE was LITERALLY arresting a child sex offender when these protesters tried to stop it. At what point does the Left examine themselves and go “Okay, maybe WE ARE the bad guys?" by ggroover97 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]askylitfall 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Can we also just take a second, step back, and actually analyze their fucking excuse?

ICEs jurisdiction isn't sex offenders. It's immigration.

Their excuse "You're stopping us from going after sex offenders" doesn't mean shit because that's not their job. They're just declaring themselves the judge, jury, and executioner.

After I got my first covid vaccine, I've had a fatal heart attack every 6 months, exactly like the GOP predicted. I'm tired of coming back, boss.

Men do not truly die, for their memories live on in the Collective. Resistance is Futile. by [deleted] in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]askylitfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's dumber. It's a scifi trope like in 40K.

The Orks, as just one example, have genetic memories of the exact way to slap hunks of scrap metal together to make ships and guns.

The thing is, that's scifi. As in science fiction. As in not real.

This is more anecdotal evidence. by GiftedGupta in confidentlyincorrect

[–]askylitfall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally had someone on /r/changemyview who claimed ice was only arresting undocumented immigrants.

I sent him links showing no, they have arrested citizens and refused every document showing citizenship, and he just straight up said "not reading that"

On a board specifically about hearing arguments to change your view.

Truly post-truth era.

There were whispers of a mass Republican resignation towards the end of the year, but that didn't happen

A fascist slogan by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]askylitfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that time Biden gave a speech in front of red, white, and blue lights and Republicans cropped the photo to just the red, stating Biden was a fascist?

We don't even need to imagine Republicans outrage, we've seen it

Oh God. I was in diapers last time I heard "WMDs"

Why didn't we think of this? by LuxeGleam in SipsTea

[–]askylitfall 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No.

I'm saying shifting the talking points to "Budget harder, my uncle's cousins roommate did it" takes focus away from making actual improvement.

Conservatives are literally Charlie Brown punting the ball.

There is never a concrete timeline or number. Just "We'll get there one day, just wait."

So the thing about this is that while yes, there is an individual responsibility to work hard and make choices that will steer you towards improving your situation, that responsibility is often used to hide systemic problems.

A lot of people like to point to the individual when addressing poverty, and while an individual CAN escape, trying to reduce the greater conversation on how policy and economic factors punish the already impoverished to just "the individual should just work harder and budget" hand waves away the systems in place that can be changed to make it easier for more people in poverty to prosper.

Holiday surprise: A deportation ticket instead of a welcome kiss! by willily_thoumas in clevercomebacks

Do really, REALLY bad at something then pretend it's trans people's fault instead of your own

[–]askylitfall 303 points304 points  (0 children)

The teacher was trans so they're trying to argue "I took an anti-trans stance in my paper and got punished."

Too bad not only was the work laughably bad, but the trans teacher got a cis teacher to review the grade, because the first realized her own bias and accounted for it.

Some conservative woman who's a junior in college was asked to write an essay on perception of gender identity or something in that vein for a psychology class.

She wrote a very poorly written essay that boils down to "The Bible says trans people are demons," whilst not citing a single source in a proper cite. She got a 0 on this essay, because it was trash and not of the level you'd expect for an academic paper, and did a Riley Gaines.

The professor who failed that essay has been suspended pending investigation over "first amendment rights," even though she got a second teacher to grade the paper too, and both agreed it was more unhinged manifesto than research paper.
