What is interesting is so many young white men believe they are entitled to respect by birthright, and when it doesn't go as expected, they act as if society has rejected them, and completely lose their shit. They think they have a right to violent behavior, because the world is so "unfair" Meanwhile, this is only a tiny taste of what minorities deal with every day.
In conclusion, dude you literally got away with murder, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

@RickiTarr this little snippet of Huckleberry Finn has always felt more evergreen than I'd like:

"And to see the cool way of that ****** -- why, he wouldn’t a give me the road if I hadn’t pushed him out of the way"

(This is in a section on voting, where the character speaking in the above extract finds out a black man is allowed to vote and immediately declares his intention never to vote again)

If I find myself perseverating about something embarrassing I did more than seven years ago, I tell myself, “Pretty much every cell in your body has been replaced since then. Statute of limitations has expired. Stop.”

"Vote Starmer and get:

More austerity

Growing food bank use

An NHS just as bad if not worse than it is today

Public sector pay as bad or worse

No reversion of anti union laws

No reversion of anti protest laws

Welfare just as bad

More warmongering with Russia

The same glib support of Palestinian genocide"

Remember in Blues Brothers when they end up at the Nazi rally and the point isn't even that Jake really hates Nazis, it's that Nazis are about the biggest losers that anyone could imagine. They are portrayed as completely pathetic dead-ender assholes.

Or in the Rocketeer when the mobsters find our the Sinclair guy is a Nazi and join forces with the FBI to stop them because Nazis are clearly the worst thing.

Or when Christopher Plummer rips the Nazi flag in two in Sound of Music.

None of these films were making bold political statements. The Nazis were the bad guys because that was something that everyone in the audience could agree one. Dunking on Nazis was a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

When the hell did we stop agreeing on something so simple and self-evident as Nazis Are Fucking Losers?

It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

@RickiTarr particularly true of a text that exists in relation to both extensive Jewish prophetic literature and a Hellenistic Palestine (at the time of Jesus, the Romans had just ended what we call the Hellenistic period in the area from a governmental perspective, but we know there are considerable cultural continuities - the New Testament's' composition in Greek is not a freak accident).

At our remove, what once were commonplaces can become mysteries.

@paulschoe @foolishowl @statsguy

AlexanderVI,

@RickiTarr and there are a lot of people making those in/out choices, for centuries and centuries after the period when they were written. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think any two denominations have completeky identical canons.

happy to say, Richard Dawkins has me blocked on Xitter because, during his Hijabi concern-trolling days, i not only dared to question his knowledge of Islamic traditions, but called him a bad atheist for not even knowing the basics of Christianity history, doctrine & theology.

i regret nothing.
