Didn’t Gropy Joe tell us that he chose “truth” over facts?

In a word, secession.

In other words, logic is racist.

When a Woke tells you how offended they are just smile warmly and say ‘You’re welcome!”

Then expressly do it again if it’s something you are want to do.

To this I will add that accommodation doesn’t placate, it emboldens.

Same as with militant Muslims, as a matter of fact.

They easily offended, especially the easily offended by proxy (by what they imagine should offend others of certain descriptions), only become easier to offend if people give in.

Given that power and influence among the Woke gravitates to the most obnoxious and the loudest, who live the farthest out on the ragged edge of their enflamed sensibilities (always emotionally derived from the crowd or themselves rather than received from any more stable source) it’s small wonder that the woke are like hyper-puritans without purity.

If they stop taking one of the masters tools “our money”, then i could care less what these bozo’s rationalize or emote in their case.

Can one not be raised except by lowering another?
It sounds like that is what this “ black feminist epistemology heavyweight” is implying.

The old Brezhnev doctrine. The ratchet of ‘progressive’ only goes one way.

Religious cults do the same thing. They do not like to be countered in argument.

And they think I don’t know that they are my existential enemy.

Dumb bastards.

Start putting a few holes in some of these bastards and they’ll shut up.

That graphic looks like a good playbook for societal success, doesn’t it?

Not only that, but they are worthless by any measure. JordanPeterson has commented extensively about these TWOTs. He is a published and accomplished author on clinical psych. One thing he notes in the field (with which I can related since I’ve also done research — not that field) is that the value of your research is reflected in how it is used to further scientific exploration. Each paper should (if it has value) be used as a stepping stone to more research, and more papers. That is how science works and how you can know if what you did is appreciated.
On this, he noted that of the hundreds if not thousands of papers/theses published on issues like gender, equity, inclusion, yada, yad — they are not referenced once. Not once.
So, all of these “knowledgeable” publications are worth nothing even within the field, much less without.
Next time someone pontificates ask them how many references they have, how many times in other papers is their work used. If they don’t know this, either it never was or they don’t have the ego to have checked — which is even less likely.

And, if you look at similar treaties signed under similar circumstances the Versailles treaty was not an outlier. Nazi apologists always go to this: “We were the victim.”

BS. You got yourself in trouble, got beat by everyone else in the world, and then elected a pompous Ahole who promised you salvation.
Sounds like an Ad by the Democratic National Comm.

In my family it’s every life experience I’ve had that runs counter to ‘progressive’ thought is my mythology. It’s an easy, quick way to dismiss reality by saying it never happened. It’s just your fantasy, but it really never happened the way you say because my ‘progressive’ belief knows with certainty that those types if things never happened.

They are cult fanatics.

“Every white person is racist. If you don’t admit you are racist that proves you are racist because you can’t see your own racism. You will always be racist and there is nothing you can do to stop being racist. So admit you are racist and give me your stuff.”

I had a similar experience growing up when a famous baseball player moved into our neighborhood. Since it was the first black family in our neighborhood, plus the father was famous and physically intimidating, my parents wouldn’t hear it when I said his son was basically an @$$30/e. My sister babysat for him and called him ‘the brat’.

So my parents didn’t try to stop my grown sister, they focused on me, presumably because I was younger. I have come to see that a lot of this bullshiite is based on physical size rather than truth.

Well, that arrogant putz son became a baseball player himself, perhaps one of the greatest of all time except that no one liked him because he was such an @$$#0/e and he injected steroids. Yes, the family on our street was Bobbie Bonds and I hung out with Barry Bonds as a kid. I was made to feel something was wrong with ME just because they were a famous black family that could do no wrong. I’m lucky in that the vast majority of people I tell this story to will actually agree with my assessment of the character of ‘the brat’.
