@jonathanbfine Help me.

@Clan_Terrarium @Reynard_Butler @USA_FactsMatter @aesthetic_noorr @elonmusk Roads are government subsidies. You think individuals, or large businesses for that matter, can build their own roads? Is this a joke?

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@Reynard_Butler @USA_FactsMatter @Clan_Terrarium @aesthetic_noorr @elonmusk Huh? How would a farmer afford to build a road to all his fields?

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@42applesenergy @jeb_2028 @juststopact @JeremiahDJohns Coates didn't say that. He said the opposite, that building a just society is not dependent on violence from the oppressed. How can you read that as other than it is his opinion that it is possible for Israel to not be "genocidal monsters"?

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@hutchinson Looks like he was bugged by his lady?

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@ettingermentum A teutonic shift you might say

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@stolidbovine @JesseKellyDC Ok, go ahead and think that. No one is saying you are not responding to a quote tweet. You asked and "how democrats explain..." and I gave you the obvious answer: "the current amount of children dying is acceptable because more could have died" is not persuasive argument.

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@stolidbovine @JesseKellyDC They do not need to. The argument that the current level of gun violence is acceptable because it could be more is not a persuasive argument to most people, let alone someone burying their child.

@rowyourbot @HotAsLava1 @NevenAhmad @Jairo_I_Funez @anabrandusescu Ok

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@rowyourbot @HotAsLava1 @NevenAhmad @Jairo_I_Funez @anabrandusescu An agenda or slant is necessary: empricism begins with a question; a narrative includes and excludes; teleology is unavoidable. You can read Hayden White "Tropics of Discourse" to see how narrative tropes apply to the humanities in general. 2/2

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@rowyourbot @HotAsLava1 @NevenAhmad @Jairo_I_Funez @anabrandusescu Learning empiricism, narrative, and historical methods doesn't really preclude being passionate, in so far as writing well does either. Impartiality is an even more useless term than objectivity that no one uses in history profession. 1/2

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@HotAsLava1 @Protanorak @NevenAhmad @Jairo_I_Funez @anabrandusescu "Objectivity" in the humanities is a freighted term (an erroneous definition based on a mistranslation of Kant) that does not mean what you think. Empiricism and historical methods are by definition not objective. See Gaddis "Landscape of History" or Novack "That Noble Dream".

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC Huh? Why are you lying about what Jesse said? What did he do to you to make you mistreat his argument so egregiously? I expected better from a fellow conservative. Shame. Good day.

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC One click if you can't manage two. https://t.co/cSzrtCvM21

@JesseKellyDC If people ever get the chance to visit the killing fields they should go.

They might learn things

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC Haha this has to be a joke. Two clicks and you're there. It's part of a longer conversation...

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC If by made up you mean quoting Jesse: "vicious little communist foot soldiers"... You claimed "he didn't say anything about indoctrination." Yet, he did. He's calling them communist

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC "vicious little communist foot soldiers". Claiming communism isn't an ideology is incorrect. Jesse explicitly claims this is indoctrination. Did you not read his previous tweets?

[pierrebayle @liddlea4]

@JaredUnbanned @woodrow_for @JesseKellyDC "America's college campuses"... Misconstruing Jesse's argument is really bizarre.
