Reply to The Daily Beast is going after leftists who don't tow the party line, accusing them of "flirting with the far right" by onion
god forbid we have centralists or independent thought. its not like the two political part system is the ultimate demise and degration of our country and is becoming more prevalent every year. totally not like you cant run for president with a fighting chance unless you conform to an extreme. its not like this two party system divides our county and is getting worse and worse every month. neither the right or the left are correct. neither one solve problems they just take the the problem in an abstract sense and move it to somewhere else. then we have new social movements and then this cycle repeats. and we are forced to conform to an extreme because i cant vote for a candidate that is down the middle and has mixed views.

To some, anyone right of Bernie Sanders is considered "far right".

Btw, this is not just a database of white supremacists as the wired article suggests. According to her blog, she is also tracking people who are anti-SJW, anti-Obama, anti-sharia etc. Her blog post also goes into more detail about the program she developed https://web.archive.org/web/20180116191038/https://megansquire.com/far-right-extremist-group-co-membership-on-facebook/

Reply to Even Petty Little People Need Free Speech by HMTg927
The way we learn to become adults is by learning to think. Stifling speech prevents individuals from engaging in dialog that may lead them to learn to think through problems. Stifling free speech leads to anger, an emotion that blocks rational thought and encourages petty little people to remain children.
Very paternalistic. The author allows for no righteous anger and no resentment. There is only the argument against misinformation, just like the mainstream liars make. It's false.

I wonder if they're doing this because they're planning something that would make A LOT of people angry. I mean something that would make both sides want to storm the capitol. Maybe some kind of engineered economic catastrophe to accelerate "the great reset"? Maybe hyperinflation that would wipe out the savings of most average people but spare those who are in the know about what's coming?
I have no idea, but they keep making up BS excuses for why they need so many troops there.

Reply to No whites allowed: Cornell charges students $1,800 for racially-segregated rock climbing class, frantically scrubs website when confronted by BasedPatriot
I get the point of calling attention to this sort of thing but anyone who sees a "no whites allowed" event and thinks "I should sign up for that" is probably someone I wouldn't rock climb with or hang out with in general. Now they are saying it's OK for whites to join the class too, but is that really a victory for white people? No self respecting white person would want to take "BIPOC Rock Climbing".
I respect black only, Mexican only, and Indian only, and white only groups because that is people getting together over a similar heritage and culture. But if a meeting of different races is specifically excluding one race, the main thing they have in common is a desire to not be around that race. I'm happy to oblige. I don't want to be around people who don't want to be around me.
It's unfortunate the tuition that whites pay goes partially to paying for classes like this but maybe rather than complain about discrimination coming back, a better response would be to just hold (or attempt to hold) alternative events. For example, spread flyers for a rock climbing club which is only for white people and their allies.

Reply to Jonathan S. Tobin: A society that can’t debate trans ideology’s effects on kids isn’t a democracy by MilkyPastel
I was really reminded why it's important to actually watch videos and research things yourself the other day when I was met with articles about how Rand Paul was being crudely mean and transphobic. Reddit would have had him hung in the town square based on the headlines and articles they were skimming, but not the video (if they had watched it).
Queue up the video of the meeting.
And it's just standard questioning that was responded to in a robot like fashion by Rachel Levine who refused to answer it. Here is the video, unedited, on Rand Paul's own YouTube page: https://tube.incog.host/watch?v=x3RJpBJQ25Y . It's on his own page because he did nothing wrong by asking questions and expecting an answer. It's a CONFIRMATION HEARING, not a luncheon and social gathering. If it was just a casual meet and greet, sure, his pressing would be inappropriate. But asking questions such as that during a CONFIRMATION HEARING is standard.
Watch videos of other confirmation hearings. People get asked tough questions all the time.

Eh, some conservatives are upset by the book Heather Has Two Mommies. I would argue that those conservatives are not "the good guys", thus validating Ramaswamy's point. So, yeah, he's pretty much right!

Nothing wrong with the content of the books they're reading. I believe most conservatives aren't upset by the books themselves.

(One could argue that it's the audience's age, not the books themselves, that are the problem.)

You shouldn't ever censor the free speech and expression of anyone else.
Banning a book? Sure, let's not put pedo materials in an elementary school. Let's not put Penthouse in the boy's bathroom.
There has to be some appropriate audience and placement where unacceptable.
But preventing the printing of. That's bonkers. I don't care if it is the Anarchist's Bible (self wounding will happen) or it's some fringe deviant sex crap that runs afoul of current laws.
Those who seek to censor broadly are enemies of humanity.

If the people they censored were so "wrong" why censor them.
Just for the record i'm a liberal independent and this shit is straight up retarded.

Reply to comment by bransonmagee in Petition: Do not rollout Covid-19 vaccine passports by doginventer
I would think 'proof of vaccination' could be more easily forged than a passport, and therefore cheaper on the Darknet, but I've not actually looked. I don't do airplanes, and not too inclined to go outside the USA anyway, so not something I'd likely need. Mexico (Tijuana) is as far as I've been, or likely to go, and since I got a lifetime supply of Mercurochrome last time, and since the Mexican Mafia seems in control of Tijuana, I doubt I'll be returning.

All about color. Too bad she gets labeled as 'black' when she is equally Indian.
Indians (from India) are a minority in the US. Something significant in itself and newsworthy.
Like her father's family (who is of African descent) being prior slave owners.
Divide and conquer nonsense politics. Last time I checked a few layers deep everyone is about a shade of watermelon, even whitey.

Blacks can use the internet, they just need an app to connect them to whatever service they're using. Typing in www addresses is like the digital equivalent of a restaurant dress code.

It looks like the passports would actually report vaccine status, so getting a new passport now wouldn't help, because other countries could still bar you entry if you don't have proof that you're vaccinated.
They aren't planning to deny people new passports, just that without a vaccination you're not getting that special stamp that lets you travel most places.
The UK will not be requiring vaccines domestically, but the rest of the the world might require it if you want to visit.

He'll still get the black vote by a wide margin, so it's hard to give a shit. Biden could put on blackface and reenact Song of the South on the White House front lawn and still lock that demographic. Nothing will make them not vote Democrat.
