We are all subject to zero-sum thinking, and I think this reflects in the notion of knowledge as privilege, specifically the idea that one man’s inabi...
Twitterati are trying to say that verifying the tabulation of your vote, re-voting if necessary, is voting twice, as if it will count as two votes. Th...
A nice read, thanks. Tacitus wrote of Nerva and Trajan’s rule: “I have reserved for my old age, if life is spared to me, the reigns of the sainted Ner...
Fetus’ are human beings in their earliest stages of life. We all used to be one. And we accept that there may be a conflict of rights between a person...
No, that’s not what I’m “implying”. No need to reach for things I never said. Wrong, it is. Opposition and exclusion occur in politics all the time. O...
My results suggested “a slight automatic preference for African Americans over European Americans”. Shouldn’t implicit bias force me to unknowingly fa...
The problem is polarization doesn’t necessarily beget, nor is it a one-to-one ratio with, violence. As you tried to show, a polarizing issue such as s...
No I’m not a progressive. Politics isn’t about creating some sort of uni-party, or else you might prefer the politics of North Korea, which is about a...
Besides nature, it’s given me a bloated government, institutional identity politics and high taxes. Far better than a minority government who has to w...
I remember the feds made Ferguson a no-fly zone during the riots because they didn’t want media to film the violence. Out of sight out of mind. I take...
The other week Nancy Pelosi said “ We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And, sadly, the dome...
You can superficially categorize people, sure, but here we are applying zero-sum thinking to outmoded taxonomies. Perverted racialist, and I would arg...
I try not to make a habit of predicting the future, but no, I do not believe that. Then again Biden’s political triangulation, his wind-sock approach ...
An AR-15 is a civilian rifle. Video and images show he was there to protect businesses, clean up the mess, and to offer medical attention. He worked a...
I’m not sure Trump’s comments are so outrageous, especially given the unrest, violence and destruction of property occurring right now. No amount of h...
You’re safe to use adjectives to describe human beings. But races are a taxonomy. So when we start to classify them as members in this taxonomy, we’ve...
Perhaps they were weened too late. Less responsibility. Less risk. It’s no strange wonder that the coddled grow up to prefer the same treatment when t...
I know that if rioters burned my business to the ground I would be happy if the leader of our country came in support. I can’t think of any leader hav...
From my own vantage point, I have rarely come across people who listen to what the president says and coming to their own conclusions, instead preferr...
Trump offered federal support, only to be denied. Days after Wheeler rebuked the president’s offer a protester is killed. Once they asked for federal ...
The kid clearly defended himself when a convicted pedophile rushed him and tried to grab his gun. He disarmed another man, quite literally, who ran at...
It will get more ugly. But to blame Trump for the division, when most if not all of the rioters inform themselves through a hostile media, seems to me...
It’s like calling the shooter, the rioters, Bernie supporters. It may be true, but it’s malinformation. The groups involved have names. No, I think it...
No, I label rioters as “rioters”. You call Americans “fascists” and, like a ghoul, cry foul when your incitement comes home to roost. BLM Activists Ce...
A possible suspect in the murder, a 48 year old self-avowed Antifa reprobate, is under investigation for the fatal shooting. https://www.oregonlive.co...
Someone walks up to a protester, a so-called Trump supporter, executes him, and rather than condemn the act we condemn the partisanship. Brains rottin...

Of course belligerent mobs threaten RNC attendees as they leave the event. https://youtu.be/OFDx5qTlGjU https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1299217...
I’m trying to argue that it isn’t as nefarious as you make it out to be. Photos of Obama era “children in cages” were shown to great effect in order t...
The facilities with “cages” were set up during Obama’s term. Rather it’s the “zero tolerance” policy that led to family separation, because it sent il...
I would agree that the American identity has been exploited, but that identity is welcome to all races and creeds. As for racism in varying circles of...
It’s true, a fair amount of demagoguery and sophistry goes into political campaigning, which is we know is antithetical to some philosophers. But in t...
A “sense of justice” is found in chimps, who will protest if they learn others receive more for the same work. Whether you call it nature, God, or wha...
I’m not sure they are at odds with each other since a great deal of philosophy goes into forging ideology. But perhaps one should begin with philosoph...
Miller is definitely a hardliner on immigration, but I’m not sure that makes him a racist. However, I am welcome to learning about any racist statemen...
No, I do not think one man’s views can be said to be shared by any majority of people. I do not follow or care much about alr-right figures, but I thi...
