My reasoning is based on flaws in deciding who “deserves” a statue or not :

I didn’t know that about the confederates statues, which is a quite pertinent context to know, you’re right! :)

Thank you for the examples from Canada, I would love to hear more from all around the world about this issue (and even from “non Western” countries).

So we agree, let’s get rid of all the statues, and replace them with Bill Murray, that is a cause I would defend! :)

Although you said there’s no spinning that, I would like to propose a spin on that :

You see, that’s where I think you’re absolutely right... and completely wrong at the same time! :)

After the food in the washing machine, now the clothes in the salad spinner! These guys are confused and frankly they should get some hygiene lesson quick... at least it’s better than some criminal advice that has been poster on LifeHacker :

I would gladly shared my view and whatever I managed to find within my years-long researc. But let me be very candid and say that I’m neither a sociologist, nor a journalist, so these views are only mine and I’m very open to see them challenged. But since I’ve been on the bad side of censorship and self-censorship, I…

Also (and I genuinely ask because a Google search didn’t give me anything), can somebody explain to me what is an “Afro-American tribe”???

While I do agree with you about the definition of censorship, every example of totalitarianism in history has used both official censorship and promotion of different ways to impose self-censoring : social pressure, mediatic manipulation, guilt-shaming are all well-known techniques used by many dictatorships (and…

Thank you so much for the twitter thread, I was son confused by most of the cards.

First a disclaimer : the guy is pure dipshit and can go fuck himself.

Can you explain to me how this card is racist in your opinion?

Don’t feel bad abot missing something that others will throw at you as obvious, it’s the point of these kind of thought : being so vague and inclusive in their terms and definition that almost anything could be part of it, so that you feel like you should be always careful, and always feel guilty for not “getting it”.

Yes the concepts and acts of crusades and jihads are very problematic. They are symbols of self-righteous religious ideas ending in destructive wars.

But isn’t there a difference between a general assessment of quality and homogenity, for example, as every company will do when distributing a collection of products, and a moral and/or historical assessment.

“If a movie comes out denying the holocaust, I’m sure as hell not going to wait around for a historian to denounce it, i’m going to denounce it.” As a half-joke, I would invite you to do 2 things :
