Feminists say the damned things. Intersectional feminism is a cult, wake the **** up.

Yeah, I don't like him, but silencing him was the worst thing they could do. Hey, you don't like his message, mute him (I did) but for ****'s sake don't de-platform him, that only makes Twitter out to be fascists (ISIS' own official account is still active and continually spewing hate, FFS). Even prominent people on the Left (like Dave Rubin and Rachel Maddow) are losing their shit over this, it's absurd.
With Snapchat working on their own Twitter-like system, it won't be long before the latter goes the way of Myspace, and good riddance.

What she should have done is report him to the British police. He wouldn't be the first to serve time for being racist on Twitter over here.
If he'd made racist remarks, possibly, but he didn't. The worst was him calling her a black man, due to her being a very stout woman, but that's it.

More importantly. WTF over the death of Qandeel Baloch by her brother in an "honor" killing. Where's feminism? Why aren't the intersectionals outraged over this? Where are the demonstrations demanding that Middle Eastern cultures stop murdering strong, independent women? If this more of that "it's their culture" bullshit? They go on about "toxic masculinity" in the West, when the most toxic environment in the world (Islam), by far, repeatedly gets a pass.

This one did seem, to go under the radar a bit. I only spotted an after story about his arrest I think, it just referred back to her murder several days prior.
I can only think it was too predictable to have any shock value.
Its an absolute travesty of western journalism that it isn't being heavily featured though. How do they expect to illicit any change if they let these animals get away without so much as exposure? Too worried about offending the Muslims no doubt. They don't have to frame it as a Muslim issue. Its as much tied to their whole culture as it is their religion.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
Zuckerborg is pretty damned awful, Facebook actively blocks opinions that are counter to the collectivist agenda. It's one of the most anti free speech platforms online (which is why I deleted my profile a while back).

If you have Netflix and you see the popular on Facebook line, notice its stuff popular with 9 year old girls. I found it to be a waste of time for the less bright types. Left about 3 months after joining. Pathetic.

Would you watch the show if it was called "0bama: Liberals want to have sex with Satan"?
Male and Female are now microaggressions? It's so pathetic it's heartbreaking. WTF is wrong with them?

I find the word microaggression to be offensive and if you use it you're a racist, misogynist, peice of shit, and worst of all....republican. You should go jump back into your basket of deplorables and kill yourself. We are the party of tolerance!
Also, "safe" & "space" are offensive to people who live in high-crime areas & to the astronauts on the space station. We must ban those words and burn every publication that uses them. Give me Social Justice and Give me your money! err...uh, pretty sure that's how the saying goes. /s

I didn't think that you were also into getting upset about humanity's freak show, I thought that was just CTP's gig.
I agree, "Progressives" are humanity's freak show.

You haven't provided evidence that this population of progressives are really fundamentally different than the population of extreme right wingers, having their own strange and extreme viewpoints.
Extremists have strange, appalling, illogical, irrational viewpoints. News at 11.

Stupid shit like "We want to ban guns, for THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN" said while standing on the millions of aborted of what could have been someones children.
These snowflakes are immature, gullible fools who were indoctrinated by UNION school teachers, and now these snowflakes need safe places because they are afraid of WORDS. Their parents are probably idiots too.
You spend the bulk of your time trying to convince me/us how big and prevalent this is, without addressing the trends of the extreme right wing fringe over time.
It could be that:
- there is a growing left wing PC movement, let's call it "neo-progressive"
- both right and left extreme fringes are getting louder and more prevalent (which wouldn't shock me if this could be proven)
- your perception is skewed and there is no real growth of the neo-progressive movement
- something is happening but you aren't putting your finger on it accurately
Just bringing up incidents of weird stuff happening confuses me.
Weird stuff has always happened and always will happen, and it certainly happens on both ends of the spectrum. Are you trying to suggest that these individual stories provides sufficient evidence of the first claim, and we should just take it at face value based on general gut feelings?
If I had to go on my gut feeling, I would say that the country is getting more extreme on both ends (the mere popularity of Trump is an example of one end of the spectrum), and this probably happens more often when the country overall is trending in the wrong direction. It is a symptom.
However, I don't see a point in creating a 29038203 page about this gut feeling because it is full of holes.
Be scientific, you son of a bitch.
Okay, you aren't a son of a bitch, but this seems like a thing that should be a saying.
Read the previous 6 pages, that's as much time as I'm giving you going forward. Don't like it? Tough.

Actually I think CTP is right that there is an increase in the activity and extremity of these neo-progressives. All this safe space BS and the temper tantrums over triggering and so forth. I think he has a personal issue or two when it comes to extreme feminists, but there certainly are women who want more than equality or who simply hate men unconditionally. They will typically have their reasons however and I suspect many of them start with treatment they've suffered at the hands of men. I'm not saying that makes it right, just that they can be understood.
I also think he blows the whole 'movement' out of proportion. I don't think its particularly organised, just a logical progression of thought thats gone too far in an increasing number of like-minded people. Sometimes when you begin to think a certain way, its difficult to stop yourself and really objectively form opinions that go against your peers I guess.
Anyway CTP is right about some of them, not so right about others. Where I probably disagree with him most is that I don't think they are as dangerous as the extreme right. They could get there, but they shouldn't and I don't think they have yet.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Upset? I find it hilarious how poorly some people adjust to the reality of their life, and how many more people are willing to coddle those insecurities into a whole bunch of people who've become as bigoted as the boogeymen they are claiming to be fighting against. The irony is that those people will never find happiness, more than likely never find success, and even more likely never be viewed as equals by others who're more well-adjusted to their environments and have earned the respect of their peers. It's simply a failure to launch and be a productive member of society. We're not here to make you feel good about yourself. Anyone who tells you they are is using you.

No disagreement, but why don't we have a big thread for religious nutjobs, anti-science nutjobs (e.g. anti vax, anti global warming, anti nuclear), conspirary theory nutjobs, sexual nutjobs, etc.? Is it because with possible exception of the religious nutjobs and anti-science nutjobs, these people keep to themselves?
We did have a big thread about political nutjobs, although it hasn't thrived as much as this thread.

What makes you think we need a thread about that? What makes you think that for every tit there must be a tat?
Disregarding the fact that you've provided enough bullshit about all those things you listed to fill up the entire forums, there need be no ultimate equalizer to "balance" the political spectrum. You're constantly searching for how to equalize perceived deficiencies of the party you ascribe to, when the reality is any such equalization is in your mind and in your mind alone. The political spectrum is an abstract concept that rationalizes the idiocy of the masses, and your search for idiocy to balance out your own idiocy will do nothing but bring you full circle-jerk into the farce that has become <insert issue here>.

WOW! There sure are lots of security cam and goPro cam showing Hillary supporters stealing Trump signs. Criminals all. Go Figure. Democrats - The party of lawbreakers.
Back in the 90's a Republican ran for some local office. I forget which. He was such a stand-up guy he actually had a shot. A normal Republican candidate doesn't get the time of day around here.
He made the wise choice and didn't put his party affiliation on his campaign material.
There was a bumper sticker for him on a light pole I'd drive past every day. At some point, a sticker which said "Republican" appeared over it.

They probably figure that since Trump fans are so dumb, without the signs to remind them they might forget who to vote for and go for Hillary by mistake.

Actually it illustrates how easy criminal activity comes to these hyper-emotional shallow flaming liberals. Seems to be a common trait.

It comes back to my belief that their narrative is their religion, and they'll do or say anything to defend it. They don't care what Hillary has done, even to the point of taking bribes from countries that murder gays, own slaves, and think of women as property. These countries see Hillary as an absurdity, akin to a talking dog, and she knows it, but it doesn't matter because she wants their cash, and the Left doesn't care because she pays lip service to their causes.

No we just don't care about laughable accusations from dubious sources made to discredit Hillary. You on the other hand are the ones listening to Trump say things that would rule out any politician representing any other vaguely respectable party or organisation in the developed world. Even your accusation that we don't care what our candidate did is laughable since it applies so much more to yours.

Whats your point? None of it has stuck. They aren't prosecuting her. If it was because they've been bought or threatened, they wouldn't even by holding hearings and inquests about her. The guys doing it are just like you, they read too many right wing conspiracy stories and have gone to the trouble of wasting taxpayer money chasing rabbits down holes.
If what she did is so bad, why haven't all the Republicans going after her managed to get rid of her yet? Its because no-one who matters is buying it.

Except that they aren't, it's a matter of public record who has given money to the Clintons, and that includes 10s of $millions$ from the worst countries on Earth; who still practice gov't sanctioned slavery, endorse the murdering of people for being gay, and commonly tear off little girls' clitorises with pliers. But hell, who cares? Give us that green. Yeah, your girl Hillary is a real winner, pal.

Remeber that little meeting Bubba had with Lynch here in Phoenix? You realy belive they were talking about grandchildren and gumbo recipes?

Like Trump did when he made "donations" to make his Trump University prosecutions go away in a couple of states? Except all they did was chat as far as you know. Trumps bribes are on the record so once again, you accuse her of doing something without adequate proof while there is proof of Trump doing the same.

She hasn't taken money from any Bush wasn't also close friends with as far as I can tell. I'm a little surprised at the implication of certain countries though. Uganda is most famous for murdering gays, are they donors? Which country are you accusing of FGM? Most of them are African or south Asian rather than the middle east you know.

You're comparing her to Bush, one of the worst people to ever be president? That's your go-to? We're going to do this again? Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, name a place that is ruled under the worst elements of Sharia Law, and they've simply handed over mountains of cash to the Clintons.
You don't care about that at all, do you?
