None of the people who regularly say god awful things about Americans everyday will ever get in trouble. The right constantly calls for violence and when they get what they want they say it is the left’s fault. It is a fucking joke for sure.
The Japanese used a second to help preform a self-decapitation. These Russians are so fiercely independent that they do it all by themselves.
This is an unreasonable take and I am going to fight you for it! Source: I am American
You saying that as long as someone does not act on their discrimination then it is okay to discriminate, just in their mind? I think this goes without saying, but I agree. We are not going to police people’s thoughts (don’t give Elon any ideas).
However being human beings, I would also argue that this is practically impossible. If a person discriminates against a minority in their mind they will do this in real life. While there may be some people who have the mental will power to accomplish this, the majority do not.
This is why we have social pressure against people who promote hateful messages. Especially if these hateful messages are directed at minorities. This is because it creates a discriminatory environment where they can’t coexist in.
So while I do agree with your thought experiment, I don’t think it has any practical application.
I may be reading between the lines here, but I am guessing you or someone you know holds anti-minority beliefs. We often struggle with trying to explain our or others irrational beliefs.
I said it on purpose because I knew where you were going. Not liking a minority group just because they exist is wrong and hateful.
You can post her message here and we can talk about it. Maybe she is just misinformed or it was taken out of context. I am curious now.
Having a political opinion and hate speech are two different things. Teachers calling for deaths and nurses calling for the elimination of human beings rights should be subjected to scrutiny.
This is not a black and white issue.
I agree with you we should error on the side of caution and it is dystopian that something you say in a forum away from your job could cause you to lose it. What a strange world we live in.
My wife was born and raised Mormon. When I first learned he was Mormon I looked at her and said blood atonement. Her whole face changed and she said, “better for one man to die, than a whole nation to perish”.
So apparently this is a big part of Mormonism and how they rationalized their violent actions back in the day.
Another MAGA murder with a spoonful of “he was a leftists” of propaganda they are trying to shove down our throats.
Teachers, just like every American, should be able to say what they want in their off time, especially politically. This is just another disgusting move by our country.
There was no uproar, no one cares.
Air Force 2 went and picked up his body. They already had a response ready immediately after his death. A long range sniper shot with no one found immediately. At this point it is looking like this was an assassination by the current administration.
For real, and if you look in history it goes all the way back the revolutionary war. It was always really messed up.
It definitely is old propaganda anyways and not a term brought up very often anymore. I can see the nuance in your view in regards to naivete.
When I was younger it was often brought up when someone would talk about starving kids in Africa. Pundits would say, “another bleeding heart liberal” as a way to be dismissive and mocking of their feelings.
It was almost always women they would do it to as well. So ultimately it was a derogatory sexist way to dismiss the concerns of women on social issues.
Bleeding heart is pure propaganda designed to frame someone who cares as stupid and unintelligent. This is of course the opposite of the truth. It is more doublethink brought to you by your masters and everytime you repeat it you give them more power.
The real progressives were run out of politics in the US during the McCarthyism crisis. They have never returned and we remained a fascist nation once again purging anyone who disagrees.
There are no good guys, just totalitarians versus neoliberals both fighting to control our imperial fascist oligarchy. When either of them win we all lose. The Democratic party has slightly more diversity of thought, but that ain’t saying much.
They regularly squash stories that would be sensational and make them money. This is how we know they have been completely captured now.
This was never more evident than when every news agency reported the words of Maxwell, the child rapist pimp liar, that Trump did nothing wrong for three weeks straight
When the survivors showed up to tell their story crickets. They don’t even care about things that would make them a shit ton of money if it means hurting the interests of people who own them.
It was always projection.
Murders do what murderers do. But at least we are the good guy murderers.
My five thousand line bash script can do things that one hundred thousand lines of code could not do.
On the brightside, at least script monkeys can now look down on vibe coders.
We won’t mess with Women’s rights!
Promptly eliminates Federal protection.
We won’t mess with marriage rights!
I think we all know where this is heading.
They left back during McCarthyism Era when the fascist nation purged the last of the free thinkers.
