I know I’m asking you to mansplain the ramblings of idiots so apologies for that. But why could bicycle lanes and decentralised services prevent you leaving your home?!?

Aha. Insanely stupid but I see the “logic”. Thanks. This is how dumb some people are, there are planty of people who still rail against Obamacare but think the Affordable Care Act is wonderful ... seriously you couldn't make it up!
He’s never seen a single use bathroom before?
I knew the Swedes would be involved with the end of the world as we know it.
The culture wars have latched on to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Seems nyt is taking requests for any old shit.
The antisemitism & islamophobia thread got closed so...Sam Altman chimes in.
The one thing about which the older you are the more correct you are.
I don't get how something like this can even happen. How is the Holocaust taught there?
Harsh to blame them and no one else.
The "red" in @Carolina Red username means he's a commie too!
When Scottish people say "I'm Scottish and I'm a racist" that's ok
When Welsh people say "I'm Welsh and I'm a racist" that's ok
But when English people say "I'm English and I'm a racist" it's a problem

Wait, doesn’t everyone wake up in the morning to Billy Bragg’s Internationale?
This is the same age group that’s been convinced by TikTok that Helen Keller was a myth.
it’s not what we are teaching them in the 45-85 minutes (depending on school schedule) that we see them each day, it’s what they’re getting from shit like TikTok 24/7
That moment with Stefanik was a fascinating watch. What a way to perpetuate the whole "leftist antisemitism on college campuses" thing.
Then again, they probably got legal advice on how to answer these questions so what do I know.
Yep, this ain't contained just with her resigning.
I prefer Which Side Are You On, and I'd think as a merican you would too.
I'm trying to understand this, here's the complete clip.
Clearly advised in responses but McGill is a tenured law professor, so not like she shouldn't be able to formulate an answer.
I just don't get it, as Stefanik says, is calling for the genocide of the Jewish people a violation of the university rules - that should be an pretty easy yes. I don't even think it's anti-semitic because I imagine this stance is taken for all groups. But it's bonkers.
Especially seeing how Universities in the states have fired teachers for literally using a Chinese term correctly, in a language lesson, that sounds like the n word...

McGill's resigned, MIT looks to skate by with minimal repercussion, Harvard is very much up in the air.
Ah, excellent
@Carolina Red as a tagged commie, this rabid desire to nail "leftist, anti-semitic" college presidents... any similarities between todays' events and what happened during the Red Scare? Or even stretching this a bit further, colleges were a hotbed of protests during the Vietnam War... were they demonized by the other side?
She was asking specifically about the bullying and harassment code, which is (as far as i know) restricted to actionable threats against people at the university, ie, bullying and harassment.
She asked about what seems to be a more general "code of conduct" to the MIT woman, the answer is they would be investigated.
Finally, she mentioned "intifada" and implied it is inherently genocidal?
For comparison, a guy who collaborates with PUAs, whose thoughts on IQ have been quoted approvingly on an explicitly Nazi website, who spends all day on twitter arguing about wokeness and free speech (and retweeted all the outraged tweets about this hearing), still has tenure, and there is no possibility of it being removed. That is what free speech looks like when there is tenure protection. And your last example is what it looks like without that protection. (There are infinite ways to fire and discipline somebody without tenure, that don't need to be within the "bullying and harassment" code.)
Are we talking about the same America? The one where right-wing groups have made a dedicated effort to control school boards and change the curriculum to get rid of any traces of uncomfortable material?
The curriculum in Norway is far more "decolonized" than those of the US, and yet we have no problems knowing about the Holocaust. Quite the opposite, actually. If we wanted to hide from our past, as do those whose mocking you copy, we'd have downplayed it to hide the role of Norwegians in it.
and the logical follow up
This kind of nonsense is incredibly dangerous rhetoric. All it does is fan the flames and give right wing nutters more ammunition.
Besides, its stupid as feck as well. "Whiteness prevents connection to humanity". Pure pseudo-intellectual nonsense
