Lmao, people are still taking this grifter seriously? Dude writes a book crying about trigger warnings, safe spaces, and statues of slavers being torn down and somehow I’m supposed to believe that actually he’s right this time?
It’s a pity I have a conscience because telling people what they want to hear seems to be lucrative.
This article was written by Douglas Mackinnon. A political consultant who has written for multiple publications including Fox News. Here’s a quick list of article headlines he’s written there: “Latest wave of wokeness to hit west point reveals one simple solution”, “Woke left will erase american history unless we stop them”, “A ‘Star Wars’ story: How can I get a job as a woke ‘activist’?”, “We must speak to save our founding fathers from the woke left”, “Bidens nasa launches new mission to planet woke”, and “Moms for liberty shows spirit that would make the founding fathers proud”.
If these article headlines haven’t made it obvious, this man is not worth paying attention to. Talk about biden being a bad candidate all you want but don’t use pieces of shit who are focused on “wokeness” to hide their idiocy and bigotry.
Also, biden is not going to be replaced at the convention. Not gonna happen. But if you’re putting forward the idea of it happening, you better bring with it an idea of who should replace him.
This article is shit, return2ozma, you can do better.
Not long after the 1994 film became a smash hit, the titular bus disappeared. Where did it go? Who had it? And could it be recovered before it was too late?...
What if they decide, only those who were born with a vagina at birth, are women and we want only those to be part of our organization?
I mean it’d be like barring someone for having only one kidney, or barring people who have an extra toe, or barring people who are a certain skin color. It’s a seemingly random thought pattern and generally makes you a dick. Discrimination based on organs/body parts is wrong. What if they decide that having a big nose makes you not a woman? What if they decide having big ears or short legs or being too tall makes you not a woman? Better yet, what if a trans woman gets a uterus transplant and now has a uterus? Is that when they change the rules to still somehow exclude trans women? Because that’s what usually happens.
Trans women still face the discrimination that women face, many of the same problems that many women face, and identify as women, so they shouldn’t be excluded from a safe space for their group on the basis of one of their organs not being typical. When you get to the point of going out of your way to remove trans women who have already been accepted into the community, established themselves in the community, and fit in with the community, where other members of the community interacted with them like they would any other woman and viewed and accepted them as women, you’re not concerned about “women”, you’re concerned about your own personal insecurities and taking it out on others. That’s the point where you’re just trying to pick the specific criteria that excludes the group that you don’t like.
Plus many cis women have no uterus, some weren’t even born with a uterus, so you’re excluding a large portion of the people you’re claiming to provide a safe space for.

This is anti-semitic and indicative of how frustrating this situation is for folks who want to have a productive discussion. I can't critique the Israeli government without a bunch of right wing bigots swarming and talking about <<THEM>>. Posts like this are a huge part of the problem.
When I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, "Waaaaitaminute, I've seen that sort of talk before." I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.
People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.
It's a shame, because I noticed similar patterns was looking forward to some good discussion about it here. Alas...
