I didn’t know the exact numbers, and that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in the Holocaust, or don’t take it seriously. I don’t know the numbers because I don’t have a good memory for those types of facts. Plus people aren’t great with numbers. All you need to know is that it was devastatingly too too many people that…

Eh. Have you ever seen polls about what people don’t know? I bet a good percentage of people couldn’t pick our vice president out of a line up.

She’s afraid, and she doesn’t owe to anybody to confront that on anything but her own schedule.

I think Bush was stupid, and in ways, used by people far more evil than himself around him. Not excusing Bush, just perspective.

Minnesota is a great state hanging out in the middle.

Meh. There are always a lot of stupid people. You just have to have more people than them.

I think your point us valid, however I’ll also say that psychopaths are particularly good at playing that game, seeming innocent when they are not.

I don’t know man, republicans aren’t keen to persecute sexual assault and they voted for a president that does it. You tell me.

No, they don’t think sexual assault is bad, they are just pointing out that liberals don’t always play by their own rules.

Having seen the commercial, I can see how it would conceptually not racist, but the implementation or final cut is. Its sort of ignored that after the white girl there is another WOC (I think, tho quite light skinned), that context matters.

This isn’t about logic, it’s about blue collar identity. People literally think this is a way of life. They personally feel attacked.

That’s it! Jezebel is in league to Breitbart, just like Vice media.

maybe that’s because bernie wasn’t really left of hillary?
We he left on gun rights? On racial and gender equality?
What does it mean to be left if you yell at billionaires, but don’t have a concrete implementation plan?

on a more serious note, its worth considering what you would do if you had a 60% certainty that someone did something bad to someone else. How do you act in the face of information you don’t really have that may have happened to someone that you’ve never talked to?

nah. I’ve known a few rich powerful assholes in my day and their most important skill is they have an excellent sense of when to be their true selves versus when to put on a decent innocent face for the wider public. Any sociopath can do it.

No one saw it because it didn’t recapture the ethical issues and ambiguity that the first one did. They turned a complicated film in to a straightforward good guy bad guy fight.

Indeed. Republicans are pro-life and want mistresses to get an abortion. Liberals want gender equality and secretly tolerate sexual harassment. Samesies.

Academia convinced me if that in my 20s. And yeah, I was a naive little md western idiot. I never realized that more people than not are thoroughly trash people.

You’re pointing at a single ember while the forest is burning.

I had a friend that was cheated on by her boyfriend for years. She didn’t know because they both worked a lot and traveled a lot for their careers and it was always plausible that he wasn’t available/was doing other legit things spur of the moment. Somewhat similar story to above. Four years go by and she’s like, hey…
