  • Feels like it’s a dog whistle most of the time and not a very good one. I’ve seen people assuming that someone isn’t here legally much more often with someone of a different race. A lot of the time people will bring it up for the sake of racism. Inherently? I don’t know if it would be racist to oppose them for it’s own sake, but you’d have to have just as much a problem with the German guy overstaying a visa. I’d also say that opposing it for it’s own sake is unchristian.





  • It seems like such a little story that it would probably have an origin. It doesn’t seem like the ceramics class, the people who created the story mentioned, ever existed. When asked, they said it was actually a photography class (from the professor Jerry Uelsman). I’d also argue that while that may hold true for learning skills (if it does) it doesn’t necessarily hold true for performing skills. Also I’d say the main reason it could work, is that it got them to actually do something.



  • The term incel came from a bisexual woman around 20 years ago. I think she started a support group online for it. The problem was that most of the people who wanted help, got it and left. This left… the people who would not be helped and that’s what it is. Still the original incel I believe ended up with a woman, it just so happened that she was one.

    I completely agree with what you said about Hitler. In fact, even worse. His stealing of the word socialism for his own purposes did major damage to the concept people had of socialism. Calling a system that exploits workers and laborers socialism, when the whole idea was to put the workers in charge, damages the idea in people’s minds.

    I mean the target of one’s fascism is not the same fascism. It’s one that is arbitrarily less “correct”. For example the Slovenian fascists turned on the Germans, and the Germans turned on Vichy as soon as it suited them. My point was being “antagonistic” to fascist groups doesn’t mean you “cannot” be one. It is correct they did turn on their leftmost group after they’d served there purpose. They still (wrongly) called themselves socialist afterwards though. I wonder if anyone else could have done that.
