If your views cannot stand up to debate, then you have already lost the argument.

They were asked. They declined.


We need to shine the light often and brightly.

If any of us were asked to defend MAGA, could we, would we?

No, any questioning of DEI is in itself racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc. etc., therefore there is no argument and there can be no debate. Bend the knee, bake the cake!

Looks like even the mighty “Tute” has capitulated to the woke army..

It is not in the nature of the woke army to ever be satiated...

“ If your views cannot stand up to debate, then you have already lost the argument. ”

This may be the single most misunderstood position held by the left. They have to shout down and silence opinions different from theirs even in the face of indisputable truth. Discussion isn’t an option.

“Political correctness”, “woke”, and “DEI” cannot stand the bright light of open debate in the forum of ideas because their views are based on LIES and common sense and reason defeats them every time.

The Left stands on LIES which is why they’ll NEVER win a debate in the forum of ideas with anyone with a modicum of common sense and reason, and is why they and their utterly failed Marxist pro-tyranny ideas are forwarded by FORCE, NOT TRUTH.

On the other hand, freedom and the free market of the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers free from government coercion is based on common sense and reason and the truth of God-given individual rights and liberty.

Here is a fascinating discussion between Victor Hanson and Jordan Peterson on diversity and the Ivy League. The link is to that part of the YouTube but if you have time, listen to the entire video.

It’s not DEI....it’s DIE. Don’t let the Left define the terms.

Ironic that a worldview which rejects absolute truth ends up being so intolerant of dissent.

MIT is an engineering school, among other things. Literally one of the best, if not the best, in the world.

As such, only top candidates are allowed to enter. In the context of education and engineering, what factors into becoming a top candidate?

Your grades. Test scores. Related extracurricular projects / studies / activities. That’s about it.

What does not factor into your ranking as a top candidates would be... your height, weight, gender, religion, sexual activities, ancestry, or skin color.

If those factors did apply then such a candidate should expect those aspects to factor into their test scores while in the school... which is absurd.
