The intention was to diffuse his appeal to ridicule.

Predictably, key information is being omitted. Four in ten Republicans agreed that the people may need to resort to violence as a form of self-defense "if elected leaders will not protect America”....

Yes, although that doesn't mean we can interpret it in an objectively true way (to its fullest extent). This applies elsewhere too. Suppose you witness a natural phenomenon, like a nebula or a...

I know. It’s what I said.



This is a poor example. Promiscuity was traditionally discouraged because of the significant risks associated with pregnancy, the threat of STDs and the instability...

Gender expression and sex are strongly linked; that’s why >99% of people are comfortable with their “birth-assigned” gender. The proof of the pudding is in the eating: if gender and physiology were...

This unsubstantiated claim seeks to creates an impossible standard whereby nothing can be said to have been done voluntarily if some portion of the population resists or opposes it (which is always...

The claim was that western countries adopted civil liberties voluntarily. The Confederacy was an unrecognized polity consisting of rebel states, not a country. The Union (i.e. the United States of...

Each decision is already accompanied by an explanation which is agreed upon by the judges prior to the publication of the ruling. If there is a split decision, the views of the diverging judge are...

My point is that your statements are contradictory. You initially claimed that the strike ordered by Biden was predicated on the same legal rationale used by the Trump administration:



When...

You claimed that the strike ordered by Biden was predicated on the same legal rationale as the strikes ordered by Trump (i.e. compared the two):



The legal justification for the attack...

Infidel144 was quoting Biden's press secretary, Jennifer Psaki from 2017.

The quote you're referring to was from Hillary Clinton:

The chart displays the total number of homicide victims and divides them by gender; it does not claim that the 4500 female victims were "murdered because they were women". Even so, gender-based...

Dismissiveness is a predictable reaction from CRT apologists (see post #146, #155 & 157 for instance). It's time to put aside the expectation of intellectual consistency - that ship sailed years ago....

Being cognizant of race in specific contexts (i.e. discussions about rapidly changing demographics) is not synonymous with “persistently emphasizing whiteness”. There's a reason why CRT/Neo-Marixst...

The only other people who persistently emphasize "whiteness" (and agree with the Smithsonian that industriousness, forward planning, rationality, literary traditions etc are unique aspects of "white...

Looks like Normans vs Moors, so probably is a battle in Sicily or Malta.

A new poll reveals that almost half of all liberals (44%) believe that a thousand or more unarmed black Americans were killed by police in 2019. This is ten times more than the top likely estimate...

The cited Economic Freedom of the World: 2017 Annual Report (different from the Index of Economic Freedom) treats regulation as a distinct area of analysis. The regulation category is split into...

I thought it was clear that I’d prefer liberals to stop thinking so obsessively about white people and/or “whiteness”.

Coca Cola's response speaks for itself: the company neither apologized for, nor denounced, the openly racist "resource" which they had been encouraging their staff to use. The incident points to the...

Refer to my original post. I made no claim regarding the extent of regulation in the US compared to other economies. That said, the US's regulatory standards are comparable to other high-income...

A self-defeating point: an economy cannot be "deregulated" unless it is regulated.

Workplace training material which instructs employees to "be less white" and claims that white Americans are "oppressive", "arrogant" and "ignorant" is discriminatory; it creates a hostile,...

You claimed: "Lessaiz [sic] faire refers to the state's intervention in the economy, meaning state capitalism, protectionism, etc."

This is the exact opposite of laissez faire economics.

Wrong.





The Global Food Security Index ranks US food 3rd out of 113 countries. That's above every European country other than Ireland. On quality and safety specifically, it is ranked...

Which is why I added the caveat "assuming the allegations are true".

Nevertheless, statement about HR departments having the right to "say and promote what they want" is factually incorrect, as...

Assuming the allegations are true, the training would likely be a violation of the Civil Rights Act. Ignore Aloon: he has no idea what he's talking about.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act:

The Smithsonian's intention was to encourage a conversation on the terms set out by the chart. Since the chart was both self-refuting and insulting, it served only to damage the cause the museum was...

The chart (which was borrowed from a forty-year-old "anti-racist" handbook) refutes itself by listing commonalities (industriousness, forward planning, rational thinking, written traditions etc)...

You were wrong, move on.

The Smithsonian openly stated that the chart was not serving its intended purpose:

This is an acknowledgement that the chart is in fact representative of the views held by many within elite liberal circles and the leftist intelligentsia.



Yes.



Race hustling is just...

This incident did not occur in isolation. The chart's foundational ideology is popular within elite liberal circles and among the leftist intelligentsia. The idea of "whiteness" as a dominant and...

This is not a "random infographic". It rose to prominence after it was was used by the Smithsonian National Museum as part of their controversial "Talking about Race" portal. Following a backlash,...

For those interested, there was a recent thread posted dedicated to the topic of systemic racism here.


Notice how your interlocutor tries to conflate "local guy" with "white" as if they are one...

I know, but the language needs to be updated. It refers to Moderation and Curial "warnings", rather than Moderation Infractions.

I'm referring to a context where automatic suspension for a single infraction no longer occurs, as is envisaged by this proposal. Also, I don't know whether the standard applies to Tribunes or...

A few points on this:

1. Adding an amendment preventing any person with an active infraction from being a Magistrate or an acting Tribune is acceptable to me. This would dovetail with the...

I suppose you could use the rough language of the Sixth: "the accused shall enjoy the right to confront his accuser".
