Tell that to tweedle dumbass. When he starts acting right we can get back to topical conversation. Until then he'll be treated like he treats others.

Her argument is that the threat of rape shapes societal behavior, not that men justly should all be considered rapists. A more accurate way of putting it might be that women have to assume any man is a potential source of attack. Because this informs social behavior, she thinks men have a collective responsibility to address violence towards women.

Who could’ve guessed that European white supremacists would lie about something someone said.


Who could have guessed that Doc would have been duped, yet again, by something he googled from the White Supremacist web.

I'm not the biggest fan of mediabiasfactcheck, but Doc has cited it before. Here's what they say about his source:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/defend-europa/

Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy, Hate Group

Notes: Founded in 2016, Defend Europa is an Alt-Right White Nationalist organization. According to their about page the Defend Europa website, covers issues like “‘migrant crisis’, the European Union, globalization, and commentary in support of nationalist movements across the continent.” While the owner of website is not mentioned, the about page was published on February 27, 2016 by “Jason Bergkamp“, who’s bio on the site says “Jason Bergkamp is a Dutch based journalist.” According to a Washington Post article Jason Bergkamp is a known supporter of Hitler “In April, Trump retweeted a compliment from an innocuous-looking follower named Jason Bergkamp; a reporter from Fusion quickly discovered that Bergkamp had also praised Hitler.”

In review, Defend Europa uses loaded emotional language and in their articles and headlines: “The Never Ending Rise of Anti-White Politics in the UK” They frequently use factually mixed sources such as the Daily Mail, The Sun, and Daily Mirror, however they also occasionally use high factual sources such as The Guardian, but they always take the information out of context and spin it to the white nationalists favor. Defend Europa also recently interviewed alt-right white nationalist Richard Spencer. Overall, we rate Defend Europa as a Questionable source due to poor sourcing, hate language and affiliation with known white nationalists. (M. Huitsing 10/8/2017)


Again, who could've guessed that they would misrepresent someone's comments to fit their narrative.

Will this man who threw that child over a third-story balcony at the Mall of America be charged with a hate crime, or will it jus be categorized under 'mental illness'?

Who knows? Hopefully GG will provide us with an answer.

Or, you know, we could try not to be damned idiots and wait for the investigation to play out.

I know that's not up your ally.

This is how ajax responds to me eating a nice dinner with friends who are black:

Well, that settles it. Ajax no longer gets to claim he isn't racist.

I can't help but have a growing impression from reading this thread that Doc Cam is approaching Ajax's level of irrationality. I find that quite dismaying, considering that on other subjects he has said things that I find quite admirable.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

No. It's just that you and your ilk are so brainwashed that egalitarianism is one step shy of being a Nazi. If one dares criticize a black Leftist or Democrat, you're a racist. If one, god forbid, holds or treats a woman to the same standard as a male, you're a sexist.

So. You're now going to be held to the same standards you apply to everyone else. If you criticize someone, and mention the color of their skin you're a racist and a bigot. If you criticize a woman you're a sexist. So on and so forth. No matter how complicated you make your reasoning, no matter how complex you make your identity pplitics, you will be targeted and identified for what we know you truly are. You don't get to hide behind your false facades of virtue signalling, tokenism (nice pic above, Kevin, using Black people as a damned prop you disgusting racist piece of garbage), and 'layered' reasoning. You'll be called out and identified for being guilty, which you are. And the more you deny it, the more guilty you are, which is exactly what crypto-racist pieces of garbage do.

With that tirade, you only further confirmed my growing impression of your irrationality. Sorry!
