What’s your preferred method of social progress and rebalancing of power structures?

I imagine they wouldn’t need to if other movements weren’t openly hostile to them.

I asked about the context of your deleted post, and your answer was vague, suggesting you didn’t want to offer specifics. I took it to mean that my first guess was correct. Call it confirmation bias, or call it good intuition. I’m not seeing denial.

Do what you will. It sounds like I have my answer, which doesn’t support your complaint.

Again, it looks like important context is missing here. Were you using specific statistics in an effort to support a racism-related argument on a Facebook debate during a time of heightened racial tensions and increased public scrutiny on the role of social media in public discourse? Or were you...

I think “punished” and “having different opinions” are being used very loosely here.

I’m willing to bet the sensational headlines reporting these instances are missing important context. It’s not a simple “you’re not allowed to say these things because the mustache-twirling elites don’t want any opposition to their authority.” It’s probably more like “People are being penalized...

I don’t think our ideologies are quite as idiosyncratically incompatible as you’re suggesting. Class interests unite far more of us than the political and donor classes would have you believe. That’s what my original post alludes to. Sure, we may be truly split on these wedge issues, but it is a...

Transgenderism is just the latest cultural wedge the media and politicians are using to drive engagement with their platforms. The more we’re all preoccupied with something that concerns 1% of the population, the less likely we are to recognize how much we all really have in common. The more...

Normally I’m used to seeing people tear down Sorbo for his terrible movies and incendiary comments against Jews and atheists. But here, he’s viewed as being too soft on the gays? I don’t know what’s happened to this place. It’s taken a hard turn to the far-right in recent years. It’s sad.

How often and under what circumstances does this actually happen? It’s rare that a doctor ever agrees to a third term abortion, so it’s hard to imagine this is something that happens more than once in a decade or so.

Misleading title, as it’s not actually giving sex changes to 13 year olds. Did you actually read the article or are you just googling and pasting based on titles?

And?

Again, for what? In the sense that they let faculty know that they went by a new set of pronouns, which faculty respected and didn’t feel the need to tell their parents? Yes, I’ve read this one. Now, what’s your issue with this?

I don’t even know what claim you want a source for.
