So Obama is an even bigger sexist for actually defeating Hillary and then becoming president. For 8 years no less.

that's like the one phrase the alt-right uses that they didn't ruin, because nobody else ever used it and it's basically incoherent outside of their specific value set

like anyone else looking at this would probably determine that the problem here isn't that this guy is "signaling virtue" it's that this pampered bald gently caress has appointed himself the Lorax of womankind in order to launder his self-serving regressive positions through a more marginalized and sympathetic third party

The original, quite probably first, usage was describing corporate advertising that describes their "values" or tells you about the pittance they raised for charity or mentioning the amount of green energy they use.

I dunno, Clinton beating McCain, or losing to him, might have been overall preferable. Its not like Obama accomplished much, and pushing back "first black president" 10-12 years could've been a net positive. Obama himself has has said he thinks his presidency might have come too early. Another decade of letting the pre-civil rights generations die off and i bet there would've been less visceral backlash (Trump).

yes in that someone created a small debate watch event called "Bern the Witch" on a page anyone could edit, no in the sense that the campaign had nothing to do with it (and images indicating such are forgeries) and the "Hillary at the Stake" image is unrelated, dates from 2017, and has no evidence it actually comes from Clinton opponents vs. Clintonite trolls

unsurprisingly David Brock is involved

No.

I get that you're coming from a good place, but you can never let bigots set the pace of social progress or justice..

Because they will never be ready and there will always be more of them coming along.


Forever quoting Letter From Birmingham Jail.

quote:

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers.

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Yes, but there’s a handy button that shows you all the the ones that have been hidden, so it’s almost like a curated collection of the best replies. Plus you also know that the OP had to interact with each one of those tweets to hide it so it’s the same validation as watching someone crumple a letter or angrily tear a poster off the wall. I thought it was a terrible feature at first but I’m starting to come around

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

szasz has some pretty good points, in that what an illness is is fairly arbitrary and we define them from some social purpose - so he has a decent foucaultian narrative going about the pathologisation of previously otherwise handled mental states etc. what an illness actually is is pretty difficult stuff

of course, neuropsychology is a Thing which exitsts and is entirely legitimate, there's clear genetic predispositions to stuff like addictions etc so lol of course there's biological bases for mental illnesses

the myth of mental illness is one of those texts where i genuinely do think that it's a valuable perspective for mental health professionals, while at the same time being mostly wrong
