Humanity questioned, you say…? :oc

@Cyborg_pony  
Stop being evil. The republican party that is

@Crystalis  
the Irish and Italians faced a lot of racism a long time ago , Americans Germans in WW2 were forced to abandon everything German about themselves and Currently Russians And Middle Easterns in America face a lot of Racism with the latter having to face well known racial profiling of American Airplane companies
 
you should have said “for being white” because a lot of “white” ethnicities do face Racism

@Broken Adam  
Rolls my eyes at you missing the point that society is in favor of white people

@Cyborg_pony  
“Safe spaces for white idpol” already exist, especially on the internet.  

 
Not everyone is obliged to listen to complaints about their own suffering or convictions all the bloody time.  
Sure, encouraging people to venture out of their echo chambers is a good idea. But forcing them out just isn’t. That’s why occasional safe spaces are justified.  
Not everyone will want to listen to your ramblings intended to “forward politics”, and sometimes you’ll have to respect that. There are some moments specifically for debating and other moments specifically for empathy.  

 
There is something called nuance, and i’d be glad if you checked it out.

@Crystalis  
it’s biased Torward Tall Rich WASP guys  
I agree

If you’re studying law, especially when being a lawyer, then you’re going to need to learn about stuff like rape. You can’t request a trigger warner to leave the room to go to a safe space.
 
And before you say anything: An article from 2014 where a professor dealt with just that
 
I can bet it wont bode well if they were allowed to graduate.

@neutralgrey  
Like I said he want’s a SPACE FORCE.

@Cyborg_pony  
While i can see why people should learn about rape within the frame of law, i just can’t see how an uncomfortable student faced with a personally uncomfortable subject will be sufficiently productive or learning.  
I’d suggest that it is best for trigger warnings to stay, but for sensitive or PTSD-possessing students to get due treatment for their condition.

@BadgingBadger  
Even if they were to have PTSD, I think they would know what they’re going to be getting into.
 
They should either to learn it or leave. There isn’t nor should be a compromise when talking about law, because ignorance on the subject can lead to innocent people being sent to jail.

@Crystalis  
To say “society favors white people” is too simplistic, abstract and broad. It’s not a universal constant and whatever it favours isn’t entirely related to skin color. Surely some level of unfavourable prejudice and inductive stereotyping exists that may lead to unfair treatment of innocent individuals, but to say “society” is against an entire group is bordering on mysticist explanation without any meaningful detail. There are states where whites are only in the 10-20% if not fever of the overall population, so are those “societies” also somehow in support of white privilege?
 
A better way would be to specify cities or states where racial prejudice against non-whites is much more common rather than describing it through monolythic concepts that implicate an entire race as guilty.
 
@BadgingBadger  
There really isn’t all that much nuance other than truisms how a group is automatically disadvantaged in everything and requires compensatory privileges. The right to freedom of association and support groups already exists, so you really don’t need the additional institutional backing for safe spaces, unless those spaces really are supposed to create convenient political exceptions to universal rules that can be arbitrarily defined to always be self-serving.
 
As long as the standards had some clearly set boundaries that wouldn’t get changed all the time without intentional double standards, maybe there could be more tolerance to the general idea. When the safe space is expanded to apply to the entire university, it’s no longer a “safe space” as it is a “disagreement expulsion zone”. I would rather call them “living spaces”, but that might be a little too much on the nose.

So Trump lied to the Canadian Prime Minister’s face about a trade deficit between Canada and America (where America was the one benefiting). He then went on to brag about it at a fundraiser party.
 
Because of course he did.

@Cyborg_pony  
She’s right though, the GOP is fuckin’ evil.

@Dustcan  
…ok Don. Here’s the thing about politics. When you lie about something to a foreign leader, you DON’T brag about it because then everyone knows you lied.
 

@Hypnosryan  
So you are saying I am evil since I am conservative and part of the republican votership?

@Ainz Ooal Gown  
I won’t say you’re evil, just misguided for voting for establishment Republicans. I’d also say the same thing if you voted for establishment democrats so don’t even think of pulling that trick.
 
Depends on who you voted for however. There are some “decent” looking Republicans like Rand Paul.

@Ainz Ooal Gown  
Absolutely, clearly you’re a very evil man because you vote Republican.

@Hypnosryan  
Are you drunk again?

@Hypnosryan  
You’re just playing into his hand

@neutralgrey
 
It’s not just that he lied no less (that’s the normal with Trump). It’s that he’s proud he got away with it and is now laughing about it behind Trudeau’s back (on a recorded speech that’ll no doubt make it back to Trudeau, mind).
 
Canada’s one of our closest allies by the way, both in the political and geographical sense. It doesn’t benefit us in any way to slight them.

@Dustcan  
That’s kinda what I meant, you don’t brag about lying to someone because then odds are people will find out about it, especially Trudeau. That’s politics 101

@Ainz Ooal Gown  
Absolutely, and because of that,  
 
/s

@neutralgrey  
I did chug a bottle of Guinness. Not full on drunk though.

@Hypnosryan  
Just…sober up and then come back
