This is a fairytale that conservatives like to tell themselves. Right wing media couldn't be more on the nose with their derangement over questions of...

In due time.
June 09, 2020 at 03:50
I agree, and I've made similar points many times. Nonetheless, while the momentum is here, I say use it - I haven't seen so much interesting and fruit...

Don't worry about Cic. He does this every time Heidi is mentioned. It's pathological. He can't help it. Let him be.
June 09, 2020 at 03:05
Sure, but that's not the salient point of comparison that I'm trying to bring out. What I do think is exactly the same is this clearly absurd idea of ...
June 09, 2020 at 03:01
Nah it was legit good. I actually laughed out loud. That phrase is just so trademark Heidi and I wasn't expecting it.
June 09, 2020 at 02:04
Someone's been reading too much Heidegger :rofl:

Sounds like you may have your browser hijacked. I'd run a scan with Malwarebytes or something similar and see if it picks up something.

Man I wish there was a thread here discussing systemic racism and how that comes about or something. :chin: That would be so rad.
June 08, 2020 at 17:14
There's no plan! It's all been a happy accident.
June 08, 2020 at 17:10
Oh no no it's OK, the wildly disproportionate murder of black people is just an accident, these things just kinda happen like magic. Nothing to see he...
June 08, 2020 at 16:59
No I think you are just being divisive. Why are you trying to bring race into this?
June 08, 2020 at 16:50
Yes! Just like Hitler hated lots of people! Equal opportunity murder! Nothing to do with Jews!
June 08, 2020 at 16:47
Yeah, no, absolutely, why in the world would I make that comparison? Not like they get lynched by state apparatuses on the street on a regular basis. ...
June 08, 2020 at 16:43
Yeah all lives matter I dunno why you gotta bring the Jews into this specifically. WWII had nothing to do with the Jews. I mean yeah, sure, six millio...
June 08, 2020 at 16:09
Yeah I guess. What's your point?
June 08, 2020 at 15:48
The past is rubbish. The future is nothing but the attempt to get over it by the present.
June 08, 2020 at 15:37
Funny how the only one playing the victim card in this discussion is - would you look at that - a 'white animal'.
June 08, 2020 at 13:57
Get over yourself. I tired to give you a fair shake in your thread, which you all but ignored. At this point you're just a bitter bloviator who is, by...
June 08, 2020 at 13:54
I've addressed this point multiple times in this thread. If you lack the literacy or the ability to understand those points, then I've nothing more to...

#Squad.
June 08, 2020 at 10:09
Nah its OK :)
June 08, 2020 at 09:56
I'm glad you're so invested me in :heart: :heart:
June 08, 2020 at 09:54
It's OK I'm sure your mommy will teach you grammar one day.
June 08, 2020 at 09:51
I don't need clowns to take me seriously.
June 08, 2020 at 09:44
What's wrong? Your jimmies a little too rustled? Panties too twisted?
June 08, 2020 at 09:35
Wait I didn't know apartheid was Western Justice.
June 08, 2020 at 09:26
Yeah it must suck to be such a moron as to not understand collective nouns. You can barely get grammar right and you want to talk about race? Come bac...
June 08, 2020 at 09:18
It's cute how those who are not regularly murdered everyday on the basis of their skin color get to explain how skin color does not matter. It's like ...
June 08, 2020 at 09:06
Please don't feed these stupid discussions about music and language. These are ivory tower bullshit that only people with no experience or understandi...
June 08, 2020 at 08:34
They can all fall into a well and drown then.
June 08, 2020 at 08:29
This is a dumb discussion.
June 08, 2020 at 08:27
Sorry but if you think the bloody Sapir/Whorf thesis is to blame for racism then you've abdicated your right to be taken seriously. Please go back to ...
June 08, 2020 at 08:19
I dunno I thought the opportunity to be something less than pure scum would be jumped at, especially considering the fact that Trump is shitting all o...
June 08, 2020 at 08:18
Ah yes, the Sapir/Whorf thesis is to blame for racism. Do these people hear themselves speak? Or do they just vomit out words and expect to be taken s...
June 08, 2020 at 08:00
Serious question through, exactly where is Biden in all this? Apart from his performative sorrow and offering to shoot people in their legs, what kind...
June 08, 2020 at 07:56
No I heard something stupid and called it stupid I'm sorry if that's over your head I know nuances like that are hard to grasp.
June 08, 2020 at 07:52
It's so fucking stupid.
June 08, 2020 at 07:02
This is like peak enlightened liberalism. How should we deal with racism? A: Remove the ability to speak about it. Job done! It's hard to imagine a mo...

I don't think it would be fair to say this. One has to remember that the kind of education we get - not only in school, but in the media, and in our s...

June 07, 2020 at 01:38
Collective problems require - in fact can only be addressed by - collective action. Capitalism wins by means of social atomization. So much more to sa...
June 06, 2020 at 16:54
Yeah, poverty absolutely has to be addressed. But again, it's not a competition. These are twin evils that work to enforce and perpetuate each other, ...
June 06, 2020 at 16:48
Poverty and racism are not in competition with each other. They work to enforce each other to the extent that poverty itself can - and should - be und...
June 06, 2020 at 16:20
Why would erasing a key element of the problem from an analysis make it better? It's like saying - yes, I know that car is on fire, but forget that, l...
