It’s not and it doesn’t. I promise that you haven’t found the missing link here.

Georgina will be with Lisa and others kicking my ass to be a better human being and to apologize to people for my bad behavior, to say I’m sorry, and to absolutely mean it.

I wish someone else at Fox occupied the insane set that Shep’s show is on.

Oh look, someone who’s mores and values have been constructed to see adherence to process and formality as the ultimate good. This isn’t the astute analysis that you think it is, your worship of some platonic ideal of document leaking is little more than hand-wringing and boot licking.

These dumb food arguments always read like some weird type of roleplay.

I don’t think that this person is imploring us to think critically about our own ideologies as much as they’re pining for a world of technocratic post-partisan political discourse.

Okay your whole take is bad and the fight for political power is not some logic game about convincing people of “truths”.. I don’t even really understand how you can not see ethics as a rather central fixture of politics.

I don’t understand how you can posit that colonialism has only recently been attached to Zionism? So you don’t see settler-colonialism as a fixture of the Zionist movement from the get-go? The pure, correct and original definition you’re offering is just ahistorical unless you actually don’t see the state of Israel as…

Your thoughtful discussion is just an exercise in trying to redefine terms though and for many disassociating things like colonialism from Zionism is something that just seems revisionist and disingenuous. It doesn’t seem particularly good to deny or reject the negative political implications of various Zionist…

Oh my, It’s like 100 words friend, how much help do you need to make sense of those five sentences?

Ugh these words are so loaded, they can stand in for anything and I’m not going to spend an inordinate amount of time finding common ground on definitional terms. I think this kind of misogyny is coded by socialization and is not some lingering evolutionary instinct that exists separate from the socialization process.…

Yeah and that natural process is in no way influenced by an individuals social context. Fuck off with the half baked Darwinism. 

Wish I had more stars for this.

Nonononono this is a bad take on power relations.

The photo works with the headline though.

Moderate centrists can be kicked to the edge of mainstream political discourse just as fast as radical leftists.

white pedant is the worst archetype

This really isn’t even a critique of her letting the tradition stand, it’s her wholly uncritical commentary that veers disconcertingly close to racial science bullshit. This is what follows the passage from the twitter embed in the article (transcribed from the google books preview)

While I doubt the reality of any this actually happening, that’s really not true. I wouldn’t deny that a Catholic highschool may not be interested in entertaining the arguments but there absolutely exists scholarly and theologically grounded work that someone writing a paper of this sort could use to construct a…
