Zohran the Destroyer continues to be one of the only Democrats with any understanding of how good rhetoric works.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Every time the Democrats push back, even a little bit, the Repubs fall on their face. It's just that the vast majority of the time the Democrats roll over or give up

No little bot, when people respond to bots like I did, its for other people. Its for the enjoyment of the community for everyone to lash out. Sure, you might be an actual person, but if you are, you have ChatGPT brain. Which is why you say shit like "a label, a tag, an identity".

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this

they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

The first ethical principle in AAA's Principles of Professional Responsibility is to "Do no harm." The session was rejected because it relied on assumptions that run contrary to the settled science in our discipline, framed in ways that do harm to vulnerable members of our community. It commits one of the cardinal sins of scholarship-it assumes the truth of the proposition that it sets out to prove, namely, that sex and gender are simplistically binary, and that this is a fact with meaningful implications for the discipline.

AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Such efforts contradict scientific evidence, including the wealth of anthropological scholarship on gender and sex. Forensic anthropologists talk about using bones for "sex estimation," not "sex identification," a process that is probabilistic rather than clearly determinative, and that is easily influenced by cognitive bias on the part of the researcher. Around the world and throughout human history, there have always been people whose gender roles do not align neatly with their reproductive anatomy. There is no single biological standard by which all humans can be reliably sorted into a binary male/female sex classification. On the contrary, anthropologists and others have long shown sex and gender to be

American Association of Biological Anthropologists

AABA Statement in Support of Trans Lives
The American Association of Biological Anthropologists, the American Association of Anthropological Genetics, the Dental Anthropology Association, the Paleopathology Association, The PaleoAnthropology Society, the Biological Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association, and the Human Biology Association stand together against the escalating legislation and governance in the United States and across the globe that attacks the existence of transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples. We affirm the power of all persons to make the ultimate decisions over what happens to our/their own bodies. We oppose legislation that is rooted in and maintains rigid binary conceptions of sex and gender which impact reproductive justice and access to care for everyone. We condemn the biological essentialism driving much of this legislation. As biological anthropologists, we condemn the historical role of our discipline in producing binaries of sex, gender, and sexuality and are committed to work that enacts a more livable world. We condemn discrimination and denial of healthcare for youth and adults, including care that is gender and life affirming. We stand for the lives of transgender, non-binary, gender and sex diverse, and queer communities.
This statement was authored by Samantha Archer, Zachary DuBois, Alexandra Kralick, and Rick Smith; was unanimously accepted by the AABA Executive Committee; and was concurrently approved by the Executive Committees of the AAAG, DAA, PPA, PAS, AAA BAS, and HBA in November, 2023.

Im curious if the 2000s and 2010s will be (further) romanticized by liberals in the coming decades, in the ways that conservatives romanticize the 1950s.

Every time I check up on Stancil, hes debating and arguing for a better tomorrow, but his better is just what the country was 15 years ago for the most part. He doesnt want change for the better, he wants to go to some perceived better time.

I think it's pretty clear he's put plenty of thought into this. I think a fair summary of this video is that, yes, Maga is fascist, but they're not going anywhere, and we should compromise for the sake of stability. Obviously, this is a deeply flawed conclusion.

"I agree Maga is fascist but that's not going to change, so we should compromise for the sake of stability."

That's one helluva take

"I had friends say to me, look, we can oppose political violence without whitewashing this guy. I spent some time thinking about that over the weekend...and my reaction honestly is that it is too little to just say we oppose political violence."
