Those “crazies” are generally politicians who are trying to use the fear of “CRT” to create laws banning the topic from being discussed at schools.

Ah but now you’ve changed what we’re discussing. “Banning being discussed at schools” is not what anyone is doing. It’s being banned from being taught at schools. And both of those things are not remotely the same as “banning CRT”. Banning schools from using their position of authority over children to indoctrinate them on garbage philosophy is a reasonable position. Banning books from general consumption is not and I’m not aware of anyone doing that.

And, yes, scope creep is certainly a dangerous issue when it comes to the government. So I take this to mean you’re for smaller government? :)

I actually tried vegan. I lasted less than 2 weeks. I believe you that a plant based diet can be complete but the issue is you need to invest a lot of time and plan out literally every meal. And you need to do it from day one or you will take damage (e.g. calcium loss). A normal diet with meat, by contrast, you will end up getting enough of what you need almost by accident. No planning needed, no fear of a catastrophic mistake.

If people really want vegan to take off then STFU about morals and all that and make some sort of easy-mode meals. I mean like “monday breakfast, monday snack, monday lunch, etc.” so people too lazy or who don’t have the time literally can’t screw it up.

This is not a safe space for them. Wokies are basically grown up children so the only schtick they know is going to authority and asking for people they don’t like to be censored. After all their attempts at that fail, they’ll leave.

Ok, so lots of animals come in at around 1 billion heart beats. But humans are at least 2 to 3 times that and several other animals even more. So it’s not a lie out of whole cloth but it’s misleading. And what you mention is a key point: if you’re in good shape you’ll have a lower resting heart rate, which would be even at worst. And that’s just counting heart beats, but being fit adds loads of advantages in all aspects of your health.

… it’s a book. You want me to duplicate it in comments here? Any place selling the book will have a favourable summary. Any place critiquing it will have a negative one. If any actual philosopher bothers to discuss it, they won’t be favourable to it at all.

No clue who you are talking about, you are gonna have to provide a few more details.

As for the CRT stuff, I know there are some crazies and overreactions. I’m not for banning per se, but I am against giving it a preferred platform in education. I think this is actually what some of these “bannings” are; not that you can’t think it or read about it, just that government paid educators are forbidden for presenting it as some kind of truth. CRT (at least from the definition I’m using) is philosophy. Bad philosophy. At a minimum, it is unsettled and therefor unsuitable to be taught as a curriculum. It can be taught as something that exists but then it needs to be given the treatment any such philosophy would get and I doubt e.g. High School educators have the background to even try that.

There’s no such thing as transgender. There are just mental disorders.

lol! My dead pool is nothing but trannies. I’m going to be rich.

MSNBC: Left wingers are fat and unhealthy.

Are they really saying the left are a bunch of fat slobs? I mean, I thought fags were all about the bodies. Are they right wingers now? In which case, welcome faggots, er, homosexual humans.

wtf? I know science surrounding human biology isn’t great, but we know enough to disprove this old “same heart beat across all known species” yarn decades ago. Jogging isn’t going to do much for you unless you’re extremely out of shame but every few grams of muscle you add makes you literally harder to kill.

By CRT I mean Critical Race Theory as presented by the hack Richard Delgado in his book.

It depends very much on where you go, which is why I said middle east. And you’ll find that much of the “privilege” you feel is fear of your government. If they don’t fear reprisal it will go differently as it did for those idiots who were driving across the middle east trying to prove the world was all full of love.

I never said anything about banning CRT. But the talking points here are CRT concepts.

Critical race theory is a grift. It’s not real. What’s real is class warfare. Rich people are happy for us to fight each other over the scraps from their table. But feel free to keep carrying that water.

What you’re describing is specific to just a few places, mostly the USA. If you go to the middle east and start dancing around in speedos as a white male you’re not going to feel very privileged.

Agree with a lot of what you said at the end. For me, the issue is that talking about race is useless. There’s nothing CRT can predict that “financial class theory” won’t predict better. And, unlike CRT, it works everywhere on earth.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Don’t get so upset with defed and trolls. The reason we need this place is that the fascists will not tolerate free speech, so of course they’re going to drop any place that does and call us nazis. It’s the only trick they know.

They’re claiming that reddit was too lax. I’m not joking.

Hear hear, solid rant. Kids these days don’t want to learn that you get nothing except through hard work.

The funny part is, people like Jeff Bezos loves this racial fighting. He flew a bunch of rich white people into space and then came back down and talked about “privilege”. Clearly he wants us plebs to fight amongst each other for the scraps instead of asking why he needs a 100 billion dollars.

Oh my, whites have been pwned by having it thrown back in their face… except no one would care even a little bit if this really happened.
