Some people’s whole thing is making very good arguments based on faulty assumptions, and the secret is you don’t have to take them seriously
If someone constructs a devastating argument in favor of open borders based on blank slatism, you can ignore it, because it’s not true
@NathanJRobinson Because public schools are nests of willful dysfunction on the part of teachers, students, administration, and policy makers, who refuse to address the real causes of said dysfunction due to ideological reasons, which means it is disservice to your child to send them there
@pegobry_en Also the “you’ll be fine you can take it” stuff is one of the most repulsive sentiments I’ve ever encountered. Allowing kids to be bullied and accosted and suffer for years just because through a Herculean effort they pull through anyway, probably with lifelong issues
@herandrews Also “there’s nothing wrong with living by your principles” excuses every evil everyone has ever perpetrated in history
Muggers live by their principle that might makes right when they jump old ladies for their purse, as did Nazi Germany
@herandrews No. Even if it all had been true, sacrificing the well being of your kid for a project you are unsure will work is gross parental negligence. You don’t take chances when it comes to your kids. You have no values anymore. Your kids are your values.
@drishtadyumn@memeticsisyphus If a group that is 1/20 of school kids is occupying 1/4 of uni spots, and growing, threatening to displace natives from their own public education system, how the fuck do you expect natives to react
(“Know your place” is not the answer btw and just proves the haters right)
@drishtadyumn@memeticsisyphus And Indian Americans specifically are actively supporting the restriction of native political organization by favoring democrats by over 10 points nationally
@RidleyDM@xwanyex When you open someone’s door and start letting people off the street into their house without asking them it tends to have that effect
@ctjlewis Hadn’t Logan already said he’d be running for president in 10 years and that he was going to “study” and “prepare” until then? I think this is just the beginning
@yhdistyminen Massive props for owning up
Honestly the Kirk thing has escaped containment, the vast majority of people posting Kirk photos never even heard of the guy and now it has a life of its own
@tie_wet@xwanyex So you’re saying without the blue no matter who minorities who buoy up democrats nationally, the party wouldn’t have enough voters to compete without moderating on all issues?
