@BrandonLBradfor Him characterizing having a career as "a mediocre salary and PowerPoints" is interesting. It seems like, when it comes to trying to keep women out of the workforce, right-wingers immediately start sounding like socialists.
@JonahDispatch Memento has some subtle humor that derives from the absurdity of the protagonist's circumstances. But it's also worth noting that none of the romantic relationships in his movies feel authentic, except maybe Bruce Wayne and Rachel.
@benshapiro I don't think it's accurate to claim that the most right wing people don't believe that they're owed things though. They're more concerned about groups they don't like not getting anything.
@duertufs@SarahTheHaider Most people aren't interested in any of those things except maybe traveling, which is expensive. Most hobbies and interests are niche enough that only a minority of people will share them.
@ProfDBernstein The Israeli far right and settler movement also seem to favor a one state solution because they think they'll control its implementation. They see it as a way of keeping the territory and only giving Palestinians token rights. Most people who advocate for it are disingenuous.
@neoavatara It doesn't take any courage to risk other people's lives. I don't think that the government has the right to wage war unless most of the population supports it. Even then, it's still questionable whether it should.
@OrigenOfSpices@roddreher That's the least plausible explanation. It's far more likely that she was either lying or telling the truth. The reason people said that is because accusing an alleged sexual assault victim of lying looks bad politically.
@teachbk@ZaidJilani An exam like the SHSAT is the least racist admissions policy one can implement since it's completely colorblind. If you get above the cutoff score, you're in.
@ZaidJilani His work is now leading to a growing campaign of global internet censorship. It's unfortunate that he actually believes governments are restricting social media access to protect kids, rather than as a way to expand control.
