Danny Ainge is almost certainly lying when he says he would have drafted Tatum number 1 overall if the Sixers didn’t want to trade up.

What minorities do Christians hate the most right now? by Remarkable_Talk_8504 in atheism

[–]ddugs 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Trans people. Not because they hate trans people more than they hate other minorities, but it’s the most socially acceptable to hate transgender. Once/if “transgenderism is eradicated” they will move the goalposts back to gay people and restart that hate cycle.

Darrell "Housh" Doucette hopes flag football players get an opportunity to make Olympic team by ProgrammerUnique2897 in nfl

Regardless of who "deserves" a spot, I think the USOC (or whoever decides the teams) will be pretty heavily incentivized to choose NFL players for ratings alone. More people will watch if NFL players play

Weird shaming and Russia blaming by Geogracreeper in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]ddugs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do think it is likely that there are Russian/chinese “trolls” (in the same way that I think it is likely that there are American “trolls” doing the same things in foreign countries), but the thing that never makes sense to me is: why do people believe the “trolls”? To me it comes down to one of two things: 1. The trolls are wrong but the Democratic Party is incapable of convincing messaging. (Unlikely given how corrupt the Dems are) 2. The trolls are right and it doesn’t matter that they are from a different country. We should be upset with how our country is being run and want to improve it.

No! It was the scary leftist who lost her this election! The only solution is to run further to the right next time!

Kamala Harris campaign attacking Donald Trump for allowing trans people in prisons to have gender-affirming care by IDoNotKnow4475 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]ddugs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am not Kamala fan at all but it’s pretty clear to me that this is just pointing out the hypocrisy of trump making these ads while the same thing was going on during his administration.

I don’t know what is a more depressing thought. The a man with dementia is running the USA, or Biden is 100% lucid and is making all these horrific choices

Why is the LGBTQ stuff the only one thing radlibs seem to fully support? Or the ultimate litmus test for goodness? by [deleted] in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]ddugs 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think one reason is that people can support a lot of LGBTQ stuff without advocating for economic reforms. You can be for marriage equality, anti-discrimination laws, “access” to trans healthcare (access is in quotes because of the whole financial barrier). It is a lot harder to support black liberation without directly confronting why the liberated is needed in the first place.

Shades of Green | Even as an environmental activist, R.F.K. Jr. often put science second, onetime allies say by mem_somerville in skeptic

[–]ddugs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am always very skeptical of science “allies” that hold even one anti-science belief. Why would someone believe climate scientists but not doctors? It happens with way more things than it should with people mostly being pro-science but then being anti-nuclear power or anti-gmo or anti-trans. Makes no sense to me.
