Can anyone not spot them?

What you are saying doesn’t make any sense. Mixing AI with how memory is stored. This just provides faster read-write access and may be offloads computation from the CPU. How can you jump from that to AI that can reason, dream. Next stop bring quantum entanglement so that we can all bask about the future. Ugh…

Except Sherman isn’t making that argument to dismiss the movement entirely the way they have. Or to pretend that it isn’t an issue.

Exactly. The article is beating around the bush, but it’s saying “This is an argument used by racists,” and then straw-manning it. The truth is as you say, black culture doesn’t serve black people. And Mr Nutty accurately points out that this culture is a result of oppression... but this argument discards the agency…

i kind of agree! “black culture” did indeed develop in truly miserable conditions and in presence of systemic oppression. also, poverty clearly plays a part in violence! there is a very clear positive statistical correlation between the two. however, I don’t agree that violence is purely a result of capitalistic…

What a reach.

“It’s an argument found much more frequently in conservative than liberal political circles, where it’s often used as a polite way of saying that the disproportionate violence in black communities isn’t an outcome of America’s history of structural racism and its related ills, but of a unique black pathology.”

Why? Because he reproduced their comments in full and with a minimal amount of commentary about the content - with that commentary being more of a contextual summation (‘this argument is often found in a separate context; that argument came without prompting’) - and then ended by saying he’s glad athletes forwent…

Exactly. Also, the comments about manly and submissive are a huge reach to begin with, but even more absurd when you consider that we have no idea how an alien would interpret body language.

Yes, if anything aliens might be thinking, “HEY THEY ARE MADE OF GOLD!!!” “Maybe they lay gold eggs!” “Let’s kidnap a few and check it out”

HAHAHAHAHA. That was a fun read. Oh wait, Jill was serious?

I’d love to argue what “is” and isn’t with you but there just isn’t time.

It wouldn’t surprise me if aliens, if they exist, also have disagreements amongst themselves.

Conspiracy theory 345.712.439: aliens avoid the Earth because humans don’t understand gender and race diversity, thus they would not respect the 765.387 different genders and 863.549.546.032 species of life in the universe. The silence out there has nothing to do with the impossible distances between stars. That’s a…

Because aliens are definitely going to be sophmore college students who just had their first gender studies class.

Hey aliens! (Too subtle?)

It’s not an “Axis apologia” of any kind. It’s stating the fact that the only two times large-scale communism has been tried it has led to the two largest slaughters of citizens by their own governments in the history of the world.

It is true that they hated the Soviets more than the Nazis, but the Poles would never have allowed the Soviets into their territory anyway because they rightly did not trust the Soviets.

Nothing stated here appears to “re write” history. An anyhow Britain was unlikely to ally with the soviets before the war especially when one of their leading politicians argued for “smothering Bolshevism in its cradle. Even after the alliance FDR was the go between for stalin and Churchill for most things.

Europe has a serious conundrum and as you said there is no easy fix. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Nobody wants to flood their countries with poor immigrants which are a drain on resources.
