As sage centrists have been advising us that the problem is that "progressives" have pushed too far, too fast to (checks notes) try to provide equal rights and dignity to everyone, it's worth remembering that "too much, too fast" has been lobbed at every reformed. From abolitionists to civil rights.

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Having spent approximately 20 years in this debate (www.researchgate.net/publication/... ; www.researchgate.net/publication/...; researchgate.net/publication/... ; researchgate.net/publication/... ) I'm less excited to listen than I shld be.

Meanwhile, I am still in therapy talking about the racism I witnessed in a hiring process and simply didn’t have the votes to stop
The way hiring is rigged against Black candidates is fucking wild, up to and including just saying completely racist shit to people’s faces during the interview.

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."
