Political correctness erodes society. Merit should trump "virtue". Merit over identity is the backbone of liberalism and liberal democracy, of MLK's philosophy. Society has become far too soft. Everyone's feelings are hurt. We need to stop giving everyone's feelings so much attention. Good intentions but bad results. Truth > feelings.

Here's how social science works: You make a claim (thesis), and you need to support it by presenting evidence. If the evidence doesn't hold up strong enough to support the thesis, the thesis can be rejected.

Why is it a lie?

Quoted for truth.

He's not Hitler but he did make every attempt to steal a democratic election that he knew he rightfully lost. So he's an authoritarian dictator at the very least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot

A democratic society says the state has a monopoly on violence via laws and police enforcement. That's a random tweet, not exactly evidence.

Evidence for this claim?

A Secret Service sniper should have been on the nearby water tower. High ground.

Crowds of screaming people identified a shooter on the roof before the Secret Service did, or at least did anything.

Here's what we know about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected Trump rally shooter https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/here-s-what-we-know-about-thomas-matthew-crooks-the-suspected-trump-rally-shooter-1.6963348 More info: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o

Just let law enforcement and the courts handle it. Nobody to charge though since they're dead.

My favs are the ones with unshakeable integrity. Jesse Ventura, Bernie Sanders, Ralph Nader etc

LOL not surprised.

Trump and Biden are both traitors to the republic, and many people serving the House and Senate. Power over country. We're here arguing over our favorite traitor.

You said "the Democrat Party".

I don't think the Democrats shot at Trump. F*** off.

The USA needs a competent and ethical POTUS.

Wonder if the injury is from a bullet or from secret service jumping on him. edit: in the footage it looks like he was grazed on his ear by a bullet

Holy crap. It's official, 1960's politics are back.

So you're saying i'm a "controlling domineering a-hole with a mega ego". LOL based on what?

Musk and Trump are both controlling domineering a-holes with mega egos.

Biden/Democrats are for the traditional auto companies and their unions. Biden admin has been pretty anti-Tesla because of it so i don't blame Musk. Typical Washington corporate lobbying BS.

1. It's not up to the police to decide which laws to enforce or ignore, that's not democracy, they aren't lawmakers, their job is to enforce the law without bias. They don't want the bad PR of arresting gay people. They should do their jobs and not pick and choose which laws to enforce based on PR. The likelihood that these nude men are perverts is extremely high. Odds are good they hang out at the nude beach, which is dominated by men including a lot of gay men. Most gay men are there to look at other men's bodies/genitals and have other men look at them because men of all sexual orientations are horn dogs. Note that I have no issues with nudity at all per say, I do have an issue with people imposing exposure of their genitalia in public, especially women and children, and especially by perverts with no consideration for people who don't want to see someone's dong. 2. All you've done is defend it, so yes I have every reason to think you're in favour of this. 3. I certainly never implied that all gay people expose their genitals in public so I don't see a need to make any qualifiers such as this. 4. Having a nude beach is fine. It's a separate nude-designated area where people have the expectation that they will see nude people, and so they have informed consent to be exposed to nudity, including women/children/families. I see no potential harm. I'm not against nudity, i'm against it being imposed on others in public like in the streets. If you or others don't have an issue with nudity you're free to go to that beach and any other private or designated nude area.

The law isn't dealing with it. A bunch of men felt they should break the law and show their genitals in front of women and children in public and felt that people wanted to see this in a parade. The morality seems clear here IMO. They should have some basic respect and consideration for families and women. You're on the side of men exposing themselves. I'm on the side of women and children. The gay men dominating the nude beach in Toronto also aren't nudists, they're perverts. Momma didn't raise no fool.

1. Public nudity is illegal. If they weren't perverted men exposing themselves to women and children/ families I'd have at least a bit more sympathy. Perverted men forcing their genitals on people's eyeballs and giving a bad name to their own parade gets no sympathy from me. What people do in private is none of my business. 2. I don't force my perverted kink on women/ children/others in public, it's not a human right in public. I'm very happy for exhibitionist nude men and men in drag to do what they please in private. You start coming for our kids with your kink in public streets and public libraries and I'll call them out. There are reasonable limits to tolerance and inclusion. 3. Political correctness (weaksauce pander culture) will be criticized by me when observed and I will provide no quarter. You're too nice IMO. https://www.criminalcodehelp.ca/offences/disorderly-conduct/nudity-indecent-exposure/ "Nudity and Indecent Exposure: Though the offence is rarely prosecuted, s.174 (1) of the Criminal Code states that it is illegal to be nude in a public place "without lawful excuse." That includes nudity on your own property if you are in public view. The charge of indecent exposure may be laid if you expose your genitals to someone under 16. According to s.173 (1) of the Code, the maximum penalty is two years in jail for indecent exposure, with fines often given out for nudity, if the charge is prosecuted."
