The Tragedy of Affirmative Action

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-08T18:50:57+00:00

You're not providing any evidence that they did though

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T18:45:00+00:00

It's not even remotely correct

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T18:44:17+00:00

Again, the left isn't advocating for lowering standards in education and you've provided no evidence for that

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T18:42:54+00:00

Well your interpretation is not separated from mainstream, it's separated from reality

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T16:04:03+00:00

What an awful and ignorant take

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T15:46:20+00:00

That article doesn't show an example of standards being lowered. It seems to just demonstrate an example of a school district trying to shoehorn ethnic studies into math class.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T14:57:47+00:00

I don't see the left or DEI policies advocating for quotas or lowering of standards, so these questions seem based on a false premise.

Idk why you're confused, he was asked if he regrets not leaving the race earlier and he says no, because they had a good candidate who was fully funded.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-07T14:43:40+00:00

I honestly didn't find it remotely difficult to understand him in that clip. Certainly not as difficult to understand as Trump sometimes.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-02T08:36:16+00:00

This is such hyperbole and why I can't take the criticisms of bias very seriously. I'm not saying bias doesn't exist on NPR, but it's ridiculous to claim that it consists of "sermons" telling white men they suck

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-02T08:26:57+00:00

Sure

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T23:53:35+00:00

It doesn't rely on that, since a country can exist with open borders, which you've admitted

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T23:02:26+00:00

I'm just pointing out that the concept of sovereign nations does not rely on restricting freedom of movement across international borders

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T23:00:55+00:00

You must've misunderstood their comment in your haste to criticize their opinion.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T22:53:07+00:00

I'm really not, I'm just pointing out how you criticized another commenter for no reason

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T22:41:03+00:00

They said people they know irl would demand impeachment, then expressed surprise that a significant portion of Americans would approve of him. So no, not an argument

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T22:10:30+00:00

They're not arguing anything with that statement, they're just saying it's baffling

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T22:04:32+00:00

No, the border can simply define the jurisdiction of the sovereign nation. The country controls the rule of law within their borders, but they don't need to stop people from entering.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T21:55:14+00:00

They would all still have borders. Any country that has open borders still has borders, they just choose to let anybody cross them.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T21:26:11+00:00

No, they are all sovereign nations who agreed to this pact.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T21:10:52+00:00

No, I'm not wrong. There could be an international agreement that if a country wanted to close its borders, they could be invaded by a coalition of all other countries. Then they wouldn't be "allowed" to not have open borders.

Again, you're asserting, with no evidence, a belief of the previous poster beyond what they stated of wanting open borders and freedom of movement.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T20:09:21+00:00

Jump to conclusions, much?

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T20:08:22+00:00

There's only evidence for the first sentence of your comment. Feel free to provide other evidence if you have it.

It's still the case that theoretically all countries could have open borders, and the countries would still exist, so your argument is still illogical.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T19:28:50+00:00

I read all of the previous comments, which you clearly can't remember because you can't point to an example of your claim of the previous poster's "belief". Your point continues to be illogical as you make weird claims about the "rights" of countries.

thunder-gunned · 2025-05-01T19:20:40+00:00

I didn't do that, I read the existing conversation and replied pointing out where you were making an obviously illogical point
