Which is fucking ironic because Mort himself is just a hideous anti-Semitic caricature that's played straight for some reason. It's like hipster racism except they forgot the hipster part.

I've never heard of him, but I googled him and just from his picture he looks like a tool.

""But in essence, what SNL says is that you’re free to express an opinion if you’re in agreement with the left, and with those who run the networks and film studios, but if you disagree with them it’s hate speech that should be shut down.""

She looks like a TOS Klingon.

Exactly. When you look at a lot of very strong political ideologies and the people who practice them, what is see ends up looking a lot more like subcultures or even little cliques. (Exponentially more so when they develop online.)

I said that as an atheist myself. I suscribe pretty thoroughly to New Atheism, but there's a lot of behavior that's fairly endemic to the movement that awful at worst and unfortunate at best.

I have nothing against vegans. Actually, I quite admire veganism.

The original book series was titled Guardians of Ga’Hoole, which was obviously was too goofy-sounding a name for a film, although the original was much less wordy and had a nice alliteration to it.

"“I have done nothing wrong… ever… in my life."

"Commie-Nazis"

Indignant bigots outraged that they're not allowed to say shitty, ignorant things any more, meanwhile, have no valid criticism to make. These people are loudmouthed idiots and should be very thoroughly ignored.

"Social justice" is a fucked up movement for the same reasons that "atheism" and "vegetarian/veganism" are: fundamentalist, self-righteous, unwarranted hostility to anyone who doesn't agree.

The primary problem with the internet social justice movement, though, is that people who aren't being assholes ARE treated like they're being assholes.

Which is why I really have to admire far-left Marxists who vehemently reject Leninism-Stalinism-Maoism (and also anti-Semitism (no matter how uncompromising and complete their anti-Zionism) and homophobia and anti-trans bigotry - and they even reject anti-theism (which is to say, that form of atheism which attacks the…

Liberal/leftist activism requires walking a fine line:
