The Democrats are turning into the cringe politicians you used to only see serve in university student unions, but then I assume later grew up. It's pretty scary. The maturity level of society seems to be tanking.

Are they acting on science or on feelings? I very much worry about how any expert field can be compromised when supporting certain facts or opinions can be considered "offensive" and therefore puts the jobs or reputations of experts at risk, which then leads to self-censorship.

It's a conflict of rights. Some people want to let biological men (female in gender) able to compete in sports against biological women, and want to allow biological men (female in gender) able to enter change-rooms made for biological women. Some people, including some biological women, naturally have a problem with that. These aren't simple issues to solve, so people disagree. Calling something "progress" is just hiding behind smug self-righteous labels, it doesn't actually address the issue. What is "progress" is entirely subjective. I don't even think a lot of people on the right and left are mature enough intellectually to debate these issues. The right is filled with ignorant bigots and the left cares more about protecting the feelings of aggrieved groups than what is right. The left almost always determines their position on issues based on what is least likely to offend the group involved that's seen as the most marginalized. That's not an intellectually serious moral stance, it's just trying to not feel or look bad.

This sucks. I was going to visit the shrine on March break.

Worse than apartheid? Damn.

She's Italian LOL.

Yup

Well I don't like the post-Obama Democrats either.

Depends how much you like authoritarian dictators with a cult of personality.

He's a dictator. Congrats to his moronic supporters.

Cmon dude this is just hateful.

Conservatives are more charitable than progressives. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0049089X21000752

Jesus wanted people to give money to the poor and be charitable. He never said there should be government people with guns forcing people to give their money or else violence and bars. I think socialism, when its fair and reasonable in modest amounts, is moral, but it is theft.

The loyalists defended the King's realm, they didn't run to America when things got tough. Till the last man.

Trump lies? Shocking.

Trump wants to drill baby drill and has removed the US future move to all-EVs. I assume Musk doesn't like that. Guess he doesn't have as much pull as we thought.

The only thing this government has been defending for 9 years is Justin's image. Its a party of hyper-sensitive wimps and losers who lay on their backs to show their bellythe moment they think someone might get offended. Anyone who thinks like this is a loser. That's a lot of the left now unfortunately, trying to turn everyone everyone into simps like them. Now the party is getting a makeover from some equally wealthy Goldman Sachs schmuck who loves taking credit for our recession recovery that had nothing to do with him and everything to do with Alberta sitting on gobs of oil when global prices had skyrocketed. Another crowned prince for the Liberals to delude themselves over.

Yes remove birthright citizenship, no on removing EC.

They'll all be women and BIPOC.

The US and Canada and every other western or economically developed country can only grow in population via immigration. Otherwise they'll shrink.

A carbon tax does little when Donald pulls out of Paris accord and says drill baby drill. We don't even know how much the carbon tax actually reduces carbon use.

A+ thread title.

Adults or giant babies?

This is an oppressive post. I'm going to write a paper about it using an intersectional lens.

The study of your mother.
