Perhaps we should redistribute China's land to citizens of Chad then? They got all the good land, after all.
You are wrong. Acknowledging that not every person at the event was a white supremacist is not at all defending the organizers.
The topic was having a group of people organize a protest in an area that is populated by the people who will be intimidated and frightened by them, and whether or not that is sufficient to deny them the right to both free assembly and free speech.
That was neither the topic, nor the conversation that we had. We can continue this conversation in the other thread if you like, where we can refer in detail to the discussion we've already had without derailing this thread even more. Or better yet, start a completely new thread. I won't engage with your gaslighting and revisionism any further in this one.
You do know that we do it now right? Medicare is one way (no its not its not self funded). Food stamps are another. The aca is... or was? Another. Some people want way more, some less. Without it virtually all wealth will become hereditary.
Im a long ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ ways from being a Marxist if thats what you're implying.
What do you call it when someone thinks everybody should own their own home, but nobody should own more than one home? Or at least limit it to five.
An interesting conclusion. Certainly the idea that more people than just the elites should enjoy the fruits of the overall weatth and labour of a country were penned by Marx. Where the difference lies is Marx called for a revolutionary overthrow of the elites to force the change, while modern DEI practice seeks to work within the capitalistic framework to help even out the playing field for people who are not white and male.
Pinker's comment does not mean he is opposed to the ideas behind DEI—in fact, he strongly supports them. His barb is aimed at corporations that merely pay lip service to the idea or use it as just another talking point.
So where is all the butt hirt over the snow whites who had the role?
Did you even listen to what he says about it...?
Pretty much...
I think you are confusing 'fundamentalist' islam with Islam. Hezbollah for instance boast about their recognition of women's rights and women in leadership positions. Many 'Islamic' countries have much higher rates of women in STEM than 'Christian' countries. 'Islamic' countries have had elected women leaders.
Yup, based on my colleagues who are Muslims, including quite a few woman engineers
I won't pretend to be able to read Emily's Cat's mind, but on a more general basis -- ask an islamophobe why they dislike Islam, and they give you a list of grievances that lines up more or less perfectly with far-right movements like MAGA. Oppression of women, political opponents, and rival faiths, promotion of violence and terror, disdain for democracy and human rights, what does the far-right bitch and moan about wrt Islam that they are not doing themselves?
D-D-DEI hires?! But, but white cishet men are superior at everything! Hire anyone else and quality goes down! :reaches for smelling salts:
Not aimed at you but on the posters who implied that owning any Land was basically immoral
if you meant Cleo, Cleo probably did not look much like Liz Taylor, but she did not look much like Zendeya, who is rumored to up for the role.
