It’s all sadly revealing. Certain people on “our side” are just as tribalistic as their republican counterparts. 

Mostly I’ve seen the comments about the nursing home stuff as an additional reason as to why Cuomo sucks and needs to resign.

Blue-maga are reactionaries. There’s no rationale. You’re giving them too much credit.

Yeah that line stood out to me immediately. Anyone with that conviction who is a noted asshole in general has absolutely done those things, but sincerely believes they did nothing wrong. Anyone who actually pays attention and thinks critically about their life won’t have that kind of absolute conviction. They’ll have…

The blue-maga crowd are totally invested in a conspiracy theory about this shit. Something along the lines of “look at the timing! these allegations are coming out now because trump is being investigated, so they paid these women to come out with stories to get Cuomo out of the way and disrupt or shut down the…

Nail -> Head

This is good kinja.

I think any grad student studying animal behavior to any extent has probably done that. ;)

I’ll have to look that up. Thanks for the rec.

True, but basically anything that’s “taboo” in their incredibly small-minded “ideology” will get them bitching. That’s led to a highly contrarian rhetorical strategy that often puts them ad odds with themselves, or at least betraying their outright hypocrisy.

Honestly, “personnel advice from a talk show host” is a severe burn. Maybe they can put him in a pharmacologically-induced coma while he recovers...

2014? Goddamn...

You reminded me of a Sociobiology (which is a garbage discipline) paper that we laughed at the ridiculousness of in grad school that was about “rape” in Mallard ducks.

Just do a search on Soviet women pilots and check all the results. This one might be my favorite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Witches

It’s merely the fact that there are professors teaching things that they have a knee-jerk/hate-boner reaction to (multiculturalism, socialism/communism, feminism, etc.).

As others noted, this woman was an adjunct, which is why she was so easily fired. Your point stands, though (sadly).

“Model minority”, etc.

This. The “hot mic” effect is exacerbated by people (usually older, but not necessarily) not being familiar with modern technology.

This take is kind of weird as we (the commentariat) and you (the writers) judge rich people all the time. Which I’m perfectly fine with, given that class warfare is real, and it’s the rich who have been waging it against the rest of us for as long as there have been rich people, and then they cry foul whenever we dare…

Especially on the internet, and on Jezebel no less...
