When another trustee asked Dungan if she personally objected to an illustration of cross-racial friendship, she demurred, simply declaring that she was just trying to avoid “situations like that.” Situations like what, exactly? She didn’t say. Dungan’s behavior is a perfect illustration of the “anti-woke” tap dance. The person alleging nefarious wokeness never admits to their own bigotry, instead pretending that they’re reacting to “woke” people who are “pushing” an agenda, in this case through innocuous poster art. Of course, the entire premise of the argument is rooted in bigotry, as this example shows. It presumes that the feelings of real or imagined bigots who might take umbrage at such an image are of paramount importance, and that everyone else’s freedoms must be curtailed to appease them.

Fucking thank you, Amanda Marcotte. Nail on the head.

And thank you for using the word “innocuous” because my god it’s a picture of people holding hands in a school. It probably had something like “teamwork makes the dream work” on it because holy fuck these people probably boil their eyeballs in piss before they stick them in their sockets.

OPPOSE THEM.

Vote them out. Call them out on every platform available, don’t take their bullshit excuses for reasons; dig deeper. Identify the groups they call home and write exposes. Rub their noses in the issues they’re afraid to own: show the world what and who they are. If their ugliness and connections are on display they lose the chance to rope in the unknowing because now everyone knows.

“We can’t do anything” is the siren call of the couchsitter who finds that a more comfortable place than the fence.

God helps those who help themselves.

Also God doesn’t know your kinks and doesn’t want to know.

As long as no one ever changes their avatar from now until the end of days I may have some inkling of continuity.

And yes, in real life, you are a tiny Glaceon. Not a person. That’s not how it works.

While TikTok has removed multiple videos depicting James narrating his abduction and death in Kirkby, England, many remain available to view on YouTube.

This is fucking ghoulish.

Does this constitute psychological torture? I’m serious. This is so much eviler than what Westboro does.

Christ. I already hate these people.

…where are you getting the idea that letting someone who isn’t a citizen drive legally means that they can’t be charged with vehicular manslaughter?

Lemmylefty,
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

They’re not rich ghosts who can shrug off the loss of a vehicle and disappear. Most are, in fact, tethered to a small area BECAUSE they’re undocumented, and as such can’t rent or buy housing or cars anywhere, and the vast majority are in jobs that are, at best, scratching the floor of the middle class.

This argument makes it even more appealing to get them licenses and therefore insurance by tying the car involved to a name.

the other wants unrestricted abortion up to birth

Ah, so a mainstream opinion held by the majority of said side’s legislators?

Name five who hold this view.

Lemmylefty,
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

Okay so I see we’ve walked back from “one side is X” to “sizeable minority”.

Ah, so it’s legal, good good. And is the “up to birth” abortion performed there? Routinely? For reasons other than the woman WILL die otherwise/the fetus is already dead? Or perhaps, have we seen through the rampant and sudden abortion bans, that banning things outright ties doctors’ hands at the worst possible time? That waiting until a woman goes into septic shock when she didn’t need to to remove a fetus whose brain is freefloating in the womb before it kills her is legally mandated malpractice?

You wanna know something else? Beastiality is legal in several states. You think that constitutes a pro-beastiality position in said states? Or, again, is this situation a bit more nuanced than “if it’s legal then I guess they must think it’s peachy!”

Lemmylefty,
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

Again, that inching away from the initial post claiming that up to birth abortion is mainstream enough to be a “side” to be compared to, because you know that that’s propaganda and not in any way anything more than the worst possible outcome for those involved.

I don’t care to wax poetic about how we used to agree on things and now we don’t. Political unity is not a goal to place above human rights.

I think if the house was first then that’d be sad, yes. But if someone bought the lot and managed to get a house in there legally (or just got away with it) then that’s pretty rad. Like a brilliantly yellow dandelion forcing itself through a crack in an otherwise seamless, lifeless and bland sidewalk.

Two LGBTQ films were slapped with R and NC-17 ratings. Critics say queer sex scenes are treated differently (www.cbc.ca)

When adapting the 2019 LGBTQ romantic novel Red, White & Royal Blue for the screen, Matthew Lopez was careful to circumvent an R-rating. The film has a handful of sex scenes that stop short of full-frontal nudity — there’s some bare butts and, naturally, shirtless men....

Exactly!

Deviance from the norm must be exaggerated in order to be rejected, otherwise it might be mistaken for appealing by the population.

Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.
