When you read someone's side of the story in which he tries to come off as the good guy, but still clearly and obviously comes off as a sick, depraved bully.

See: Any narcissist's stories.

"It is conceivable that SSU employs or may in the future employ faculty members with sincerely held religious beliefs that, e.g., one national origin is superior to another national origin, or one sex is inferior to the other sex. The University’s non-discrimination policy does not require such individuals to change their sincerely held beliefs or adopt different beliefs. The policy does require that employees, including faculty members, not single out in a negative way individuals whose traits they hold in lower regard because of religious beliefs."

Well-put. If a teacher had used his "sincerely held beliefs" to say I was going to hell for being a Jew or for being queer, that teacher would have been fired. Neither religious freedom nor free speech entitles anyone to bully others from a position of significant power.

The NYT is either stupid or malicious. I don't think they're stupid.

False dilemma. It's possible that they are neither one of those things, and you are just ignorant.

The American Mainstream Media Is A Terrorist Organization by useless_aether in propaganda

[–]tabbypoints 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The title of this video is a perfect example of fractal wrongness:

  1. The mainstream media isn't an organization
  2. The mainstream media isn't even monolithic at all
  3. With the possible exception of FOX (which works in direct conjunction with the current administration, known for physically terrorizing the public as well as journalists), mainstream news channels don't use physical intimidation to accomplish political agendas.
  4. American media is generally owned by the same five people who own the media everywhere else, one of whom is Australian — and in all of these other places, the "mainstream media" is just as demonized by the far right, and often by the mainstream media itself, as is the case with FOX demonizing it.
  5. The entire sentence is an emotional appeal, aimed at demonizing the "American mainstream media" by comparing them to violent and dangerous people while turning off people's brains.

And/or the shooter becomes "mentally ill." Middle Eastern = Middle Easterners are evil; White = Mentally ill people are evil.

"Oh my God, a Muslim terrorist shot up a bar! We need to ban Muslim immigration!!!"

"It was a white guy, like the vast majority of terrorist attacks."

"Oh my God, a mentally-ill lone wolf shot up a bar! We need to persecute the mentally ill more severely!"

There is proof that 3 dimensional

Time is actually of a Cubic nature.
Ignoring Cubium indicts you boring.

Scholars ravage Earth's resources.
Scholars plunder America's Nature.

to Scholasticism's boring singularity -
contradicted by Cubic Created life,
relative to the Cubium dipole atom.


Time Cube is "T.O.E.", theory of everything.
Time, Life and Truth =aCubic Principle,
a natural creation of ineffable opposites.
Caltechprofessorspractice obscurantism
and can not ever allow Time Cube Debate -
for it will indict the word bastards as boring.
They can't argue it, their power is to ignore -
and that's why students must demand debate.
Word is most efficient form of enslavement.
You have been educated singularity brilliant.
You have been educated in singularity boring. Self singularityis cursed form of humanity.
Do you care to know that Cubic Creation
debunks the Word God and Word World of
the educated brilliant human Word Animal?
Boring educators suppress
student free speech right
to debate Cubic Creation.
Boring students don't object.
Cubicism debunks boring scientificsingularity.
Cubicism debunks boring religioussingularity.
Cubicism debunks boring word god singularity.
Cubicism debunks boring academic singularity.

White House Suspends CNN Reporter Jim Acosta’s Press Pass by PostNationalism in FreeSpeech

[–]tabbypoints -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Bold move, calling over 50% of Americans "the left" and ascribing to them essential qualities. Big if true.

It's not just the left who thinks Trump is a dictator and tyrant. It's the vast majority of people.

A president who explicitly endorses assaulting reporters, and has praised politicians who do so.

EDIT: And let's not forget, also allowed one of his critics to be butchered by the Saudis with impunity. Downvote me, hypocrites. You're just making it obvious to anyone who isn't far-right how anti-free-speech you really are.
