Question Of The Day

The people who claim that the USA is irredeemably evil because of slavery, Japanese internment, the Rosewood Massacre, Kristi Noem etc. etc. etc. are just as risible as the ones who claim that none of that bad stuff ever happened and the USA doesn't have any problems that need fixing.
Exactly. Sometimes I think the left loses sight of that.
 
I could cite examples all night but I’ll let the CJR explain it in detail. This has been going on for quite a while…information dominance will do that for you.

That you’re attempting to defend the indefensible is cute.

That CJR article is about "digital platforms," which are NEW. Lies flow across them because they do NOT have editorial gatekeepers like the "legacy media" have.

The left forgets that progress has been made. The right pretends that there is no need for any progress.
 
Oh, but it does young Wilson.

Here’s but one example…

I can do this all day…
What does it matter if the killer was trans? More to the point, even you can't be blind to the ugly connotations that come with making a point of mentioning that at a time when transphobia is running extremely high almost everywhere. Not to mention who is currently in charge at the WaPo.

When you can trace transgenderism to several of the recent murders, it kind of means you need to be looking at Transgenderism as a MENTAL ILLNESS instead of a stupid social construct.

That's why it's important. Not that you'll admit it because you're too vested in arguing nonsense instead of facing reality.
 
Do our schools lie about history as much as our media lies about current events?

Much, much more not that you as a conservative give a damn about the truth vs preserving the white male patriarchy but lets unpack that later. What lies are you speaking of specifically from the modern media? They aren't great mind you but unless we're talking Fox the lies aren't too frequent.

No, it does not mean that at all, not unless the incidence of trans murder suspects is significantly greater than the incidence of trans people in the general population.

Is it?
 
Lies, lies lies!
MIAMI, Fla. – Changes made to the curriculum for African American history in Florida schools is causing an uproar as Black leaders and teachers criticized the plan for omitting the hardships, violence and rape Blacks endured during slavery and the Jim Crow era.

The controversial new course will teach students that Blacks benefited from slavery with job skills and they initiated violence including the Rosewood massacre in 1923 in Levy County, Florida, where dozens of Blacks were killed in a racially motivated attack.

Two white men were killed in the attack by one of the victims in self-defense but eyewitnesses’ accounts suggested the death toll was about 140 Blacks.

The lynching stemmed from accusations that a white woman was allegedly assaulted by a Black man and a mob of several hundred whites hunted down Blacks and killed them.

The new curriculum will also teach students that white people retaliated after two of their own men were shot and killed by a Black man instead of the victim shooting in self defense.
Fuck'em. That's a 20 min. discussion, not a fucking semester.

..then you're invoking the "fallacy of the small sample".

it kind of means you need to be looking at Transgenderism as a MENTAL ILLNESS instead of a stupid social construct.
DSM-5 reclassified "Transgenderism" as "Gender Dysphoria" way back in 2013. It is no longer considered "MENTAL ILLNESS".

It's worth noting that throughout much of your life, your Asperger's diagnosis was considered "MENTAL ILLNESS" as well. Now it is no longer consider a "MENTAL ILLNESS" but "neurodivirgent" instead.

You have a lot in common with transgenderism.....more than most posters on here.

That's why it's important. Not that you'll admit it because you're too vested in arguing nonsense instead of facing reality.
Declaring "victory" already? Tsk.
And you wonder why virtually no one takes you seriously here.
 
There are lies of omission and lies of commission.

The schools deal in the former and our “media” surely deals in the latter.
Life will be easier for you once you realize that a some form of MAGA owns most media outlets, 🤡.

Not sure what you mean. Do you think that material ("Blacks benefited from slavery" etc.) belongs in a history course?
