As a Québecoise, I must say that’s an extraordinarily stiff sentence. Did “Big Maple” get to this judge?

And that sucks. I mean it’s great that (fingers crossed!) we won’t see Le Pen president, but holy shit how did we get here? In the 90s the NF floated around 15%; in 2007 they couldn’t do better than 10.5%. In 2002, the last time Le Pen made it to the second turn, Chirac won with 82% of the votes. And now they’re a…

The disdain for the humanities among those seeking an education is finally showing the costs it has incurred.

It’s no coincidence that the funding for the humamities has been systemically undermined for the last twenty years

In theory, yes, 100%. Except anti-intellectualism = avoiding education and legislating away education. :-\

Education, and specifically the Humanities. High-level literacy, sustained practice in constructing and analyzing arguments, familiarity with historical patterns.

Dear Macron and French voters:

Jesus, is there any hope for a populism (and relatedly, anti-intellectualism) vaccine? Because it’s spreading, and we’re about to have a global fucking epidemic.

The right-wing doesn’t actually believe in freedom of speech. What they actually care about is having a platform for broadcasting their dystopian worldview at the rest of us. When they don’t get that platform, they whine about having their rights violated.

College Republicans at my (also a public flagship) university pulled this same stunt during the Bush administration. They whined about not having enough money from the university (they got the same as every other student group), and somehow the administrators caved and gave them a bit more money. First thing they did…

You know, there is plenty to hate and criticize about Ann Coulter without resorting to attacking her for her looks, and doing so just exposes the kind of hypocrisy that she loves to feast on. It continues to baffle me when otherwise feminist people have no problem employing such tactics when it’s against someone on…

Young Republicans clubs and The Future Nazis of America.

*shrugs* Seems to me she’s looking forward to the protests.

Tucker loves people like Ann (misogynistic woman) and Milo (homophobic gay) because they give anecdotal affirmation to his smug bigotries.

I love that on his segment last night, Carlson named dropped Milo as a martyr for free speech. Like you guys uninvited him from CPAC for being a creepy pro-pedo asshole. Like, bitch, college students knew he was an asshole before those comments!

She imposes a harassing condition upon all of humanity every time she opens her dumb mouth.

Ann...

Well, the deck is full of ‘em...

Ther you go bringing up the race card again! ;)

What has religion got to do with the concept of sanctity of life? If anything, the recognition of it’s impermanence makes life more important, not less.

But I’m not going to get involved in an argument over morality, as the difference between me and you is clear; I don’t consider it acceptable for the government to…
