Is this the Teen Reason issue?

[Mother's Lament]

Every issue is a Teen Reason issue. Actually, I think Bagge's strips are a refreshing exception though.
The trick to discernment is if the article can be cross published in Bustle, Vox or Huffpo. Since Booker T. Washington isn't portrayed as either a purveyor of Woke "truths" or an Uncle Tom, it probably wouldn't make the cut.

[Woodchipper for Preet Bharara]

Because he made this one statement, he will never be allowed in leftist news media again:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington

[Homple]

I was about to post that very thing. It's from his 1911 memoir, My Larger Education, Being Chapters from My Experience.

[Earth Skeptic]

But not as bad as Thomas Sowell, right?

[Mother's Lament]

He's practically hiTLeR.

[SQRLSY One]

SOME black people signing their endless "somebody done somebody (me and mine) wrong songs" are now being replaced by MANY conservaturds repeating Trump's Big Lie, and singing THEIR versions of "somebody done somebody (me and mine) wrong songs".

The difference is that blacks were done some genuine wrongs in the past, and the conservaturd Big Lie is flat-out FALSE!

[Mother's Lament]

Wow, trying to tie slavery to dissent against your junta's November coup, is a pretty big stretch even for an idiot like you.

Big, retarded copypasta screed in 3… 2… 1…

[DesigNate]

That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen him post.

[JesseAz]

Sarcasmic has been getting worse lately.

[R Mac]

Alcoholism does that to people.

[Gozer the Gozarian]

You seem to have American political bipolar disorder.

[Woodchipper for Preet Bharara @ [e-mail]]

MISDIRECTION

[US Department of Love]

It certainly looks like that's what he's doing.

[Mike Laursen]

Hillary called conservatives “deplorables” and coastal snobs have said they live in “fly-over country”. That is worth getting a little worked up over, although it’s only words. Certainly isn’t comparable to historical treatment of black people.

[Chumby]

Correct. The progressives of yesteryear had worse names for blacks.

[Earth Skeptic]

Democrats: knowing what is best for colored people since 1860.

[Nardz]

*1828

[Rev. Arthur L. Kuckland]

1692?

[Oak]

"Trump’s Big Lie"

Hope you paid CNN for their Registered Trademark!

[Azathoth!!]

The difference is that blacks were done some genuine wrongs in the past, and the conservaturd Big Lie is flat-out FALSE!

Exactly--like when they were finally expelled from Al-Andalus, which they had conquered fair and square. Why, they lost a whole lot of slaves when that happened as well.

[JesseAz]

I thought DeSantis was the new trumpian Hitler.

[Earth Skeptic]

Black Hitler sounds like the premise for a bad movie, but since it would annoy progressives I would like to see somebody produce it.

[Untermensch]

Vonnegut sort of did it with the Black Führer of Harlem in _Mother Night_.

[The Encogitationer]

I was about to say, "The Black Fuhrer of Harlem" was a real person Sufi Abdul Hamid née Eugene Brown.

He was a Black Muslim who use bully-boy boycott and union tactics against Jewish businesses in attempt to get them to hire his "racial" cronies. He also thought that Hitler would be "the liberator of the colored peoples of the world."

Obviously, the blood-flow cut off to his head when he bent and brayed to Mecca 5 times daily.

[perlhaqr]

Oh, so he knew Sharpton?

[Utkonos]

I wonder if he also coined the term “poverty pump”

[Utkonos]

PIMP dammit, PIMP!!!!

[The Encogitationer]

Pimp, pump, it's all good. He does it either way.

[jimc5499]

Ever notice that during "Black History Month" you don't hear about Booker T Washington at all?

[Chumby]

It is nice of Reason to post the results of its annual middle school challenge.

[The Encogitationer]

Only a Teen magazine would have as many silly false binaries as this story of Booker T. Washington (though Bagge did a great job with the portrayal.)

Why couldn't Booker have just welcomed the man studying Latin and Greek as a language instructor for the other students when he mastered the languages? Latin is still used in Taxonomy, Pharmacology, and Law and Greek could have given somebody an "in" with a shipping magnate.

And why couldn't they chew the fat on Western Literature while laying roofing tiles? Why not provide vocational training and fight for equal political rights with the wealth they earned? Why not give everybody an equal shot of both floor polish and dessert topping?

[KillAllRednecks]

I don’t get it…

[Woodchipper Preet Bharara @ [e-mail]]

Looks like they tried to make it as non-partisan as possible. So much so that the message is lost. Or perhaps we need to read a biography of Booker T Washington to understand?

[Mike Laursen]

What do you mean by “they tried to make it as non-partisan as possible”?

[Mother's Lament]

Fuck off, White Mike, you DNC shill. You know exactly what he meant.

[R Mac]

Caw caw!

[Chumby]

White Mike liked the cawtoon.

Are you enjoying your lesson in how totalitarianism takes over? Most of us have wondered.

[Don't look at me!]

The mask video further down is priceless.

[mad.casual]

"People are going to sporting events that are bigger than this." is probably the most tone-deaf humblebrag I've ever heard.

He's not being worshipped in front of 50,000 cheering fans? Then I guess Corona's not a problem. Will my aunt be allowed host Christmas again before she dies?

[SQRLSY One]

THIS below is how totalitarianism takes over!

The Big Lie is the one that you and the Nomenklatura running Salon are pushing, Sqrlsy.

Big, retarded copypasta screed about "Tim" in 3... 2... 1...

[SQRLSY One]

I see NO refutations of the FACTS listed in the link!

And... Ask, and ye shall receive! (Get off of your ass, and write that email! Your persuasive writing skills are a GOLDMINE!)

Do you recall the awesome enchanter named “Tim”, in “Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail”? The one who could “summon fire without flint or tinder”? Well, you remind me of Tim… You are an enchanter who can summon persuasion without facts or logic!

So I discussed your awesome talents with some dear personal friends on the Reason staff… Accordingly…

Reason staff has asked me to convey the following message to you:

Hi Fantastically Talented Author:

Obviously, you are a silver-tongued orator, and you also know how to translate your spectacular talents to the written word! We at Reason have need for writers like you, who have near-magical persuasive powers, without having to write at great, tedious length, or resorting to boring facts and citations.

At Reason, we pay above-market-band salaries to permanent staff, or above-market-band per-word-based fees to freelancers, at your choice. To both permanent staff, and to free-lancers, we provide excellent health, dental, and vision benefits. We also provide FREE unlimited access to nubile young groupies, although we do firmly stipulate that persuasion, not coercion, MUST be applied when taking advantage of said nubile young groupies.

Please send your resume, and another sample of your writings, along with your salary or fee demands, to [e-mail] .

Thank You! -Reason Staff

[Mother's Lament]

I see NO refutations of the FACTS listed in the link!

There are no facts to refute. The whole thing was a Big Lie from top to Bottom.

If fact I challenge you to point to one claim in that whole insane gaslighting effort that is actually true. Just one.

[US Department of Love]

Wow. That really was retarded. Talk about trying to hard.

[Brian]

Here: let’s play a game. I’ll post a link full of facts, and you prove them wrong.

https://outsidevoices.substack.com/p/author-of-the-mega-viral-thread-on

[Mike Laursen]

Huh, the thread kicks off with saying, “we are not going to talk about the election because no Trumpers really believe it was stolen, let’s talk about Comey, instead…”

[Brian]

Really? Where does he so no Trumpers really believe it was something?

Also, there’s a lot in that “etc” they you’re hand waving away.

[Brian]

I assume you intended an etc after “Comey”

[Mike Laursen]

Yeah, my iPhone “corrected” my spelling.

[Mike Laursen]

Second tweet in the thread: “… what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them.”

And then it launches into several tweets talking about matters having nothing to do with the election.

[Nardz]

Mike Laursen is a threat to your family's life and this country.
Should you encounter it in person, kill it and leave its corpse to the buzzards.

[Brian]

Right above that, he says, “
Like my friend’s mother, most of them believe some or all of the theories involving fraudulent ballots, voting machines, and the rest.”

How did you get from this that “no Trumpers really believe it was stolen”?

[R Mac]

You’re trying to have an honest debate with an un-honest person

[Mike Laursen]

I quoted the very next thing where he says, “they’re not particularly attached to them.”

More importantly, the Twitter thread mostly talks about other things than the election.

[R Mac]

Dee should just admit the whole premise went over her head.

[Brian]

Anyway, everything he talks about has to do with the election.

Progressives think that the election was the most secure ever, because they have no evidence it wasn't, and the theories about how it could have been tampered with have been addressed, and Trump supporters are really stupid for not understanding and believing that.

However, to Trump supporters, the very institutions that progressives trust for that information (the media, the investigation/intelligence agencies, etc) have a history of lying to them and betraying to them. They don't have any credibility, because Comey, etc. And they certainly aren't proving how secure it was and valid the result is.

And instead of addressing any of their issues, the progressives, the media, and the government just want to point fingers at Trump supporters and call them fascists and racists, which just adds insult to injury.

If we're going to have political violence in this country, they'll be a lot of blood on a lot of hands, and it's not just Trump supporters.

[Nardz]

You're trying to "both sidez!" leftist totalitarianism?

Anyway,
"Progressives think that the election was the most secure ever, because they have no evidence it wasn’t, "
Only they do, but choose to ignore it because they're totalitarians.
"and the theories about how it could have been tampered with have been addressed, "
Except they haven't. One or two possibilities were dismissed based on trust-me-bro assertions by the very people suspected of cheating, but the statistical and behavioral anomalies haven't been addressed in the slightest.
"and Trump supporters are really stupid for not understanding and believing that."
Of course, this is their programmed answer to everything.
They told us they were going to rig the election before hand (extensive and inclusive fraud team, Trump would be up huge after election day but then would be magically overtaken). They were obvious about rigging it while doing it (observers barred or kept at an obscene distance, pizza boxes used to block windows, mysterious "coincidental" pause in reporting results in a half dozen swing states). And after they wrote in article in Time bragging that they "fortified" it, while dismissing video evidence of hidden ballots run multiple times after observers were sent home for a non-existant leaking pipe because those hidden ballots were in plastic bins not suitcases.
Oh, and there's also thousands of sworn affidavits from eye witnesses that the court refuses to hear.
The evidence that Joe Biden won the election is 2+2=5

[Brian]

There were Republicans that sided with the elites.

[Nardz]

"There were Republicans that sided with the elites."

That's true, and they sure as hell aren't on my side

[Gozer the Gozarian]

Hey, retard, Trump isn't president anymore. There is zero correlation that he was taking us into a totalitarian direction if he was removed from office via an election.

Fucking moron.

[DesigNate]

But he was responsible, because some idiots broke into the capitol (which should never have been closed to the public in first place) while Trump!!1!1!1! was giving a speech at the same exact time. Don’t you see? He was telepathically controlling 10’s of thousands of people to peacefully protest as cover for his attempted coup!!!!

/s just in case.

[SQRLSY One]

https://www.salon.com/2021/04/11/trumps-big-lie-and-hitlers-is-this-how-americas-slide-into-totalitarianism-begins/ Y'all still haven't disproved the FACTS listed. Just name-calling by empty-headed Trump-suckers.

One-party states... Including states made to be de facto one-party, by LYING about opposing votes, and not counting votes for one's opponent... Are, political-power-wise, totalitarian! Only MY votes, and MY power, are legitimate! Totally!

Why don't y'all name me ONE single 1-party nation, that was successful, in the LONG term, in bringing peace and prosperity?

[DesigNate]

Remind me again who controls both chambers of congress and the White House? Which party is the one saying they have the power to institute nationwide mask mandates and lockdowns. Which President is on record as saying the CDC eviction moratorium isn’t constitutional, but approved them doing it anyway?

Your TDS is out of control.

[SQRLSY One]

The above is true, and I don't support the over-reactions listed.

"D" party has a LOT of control (not all of it), ONLY because Der TrumpfenFuhrer and His Trumpanzees gone apeshit did NOT succeed in their coup attempt! This was the FIRST such giant shit-stain, and violently contested transfer of power, in USA history! Unless you count the Civil War as the same...

You trumpanzees gone apeshit PROUD of yourselves for that?

[DesigNate]

Recognizing and acknowledging that he wasn’t a totalitarian fascist, contrary to the constant bleating of TDS addled morons, doesn’t make me a Trump supporter.

One day you’ll be grown up enough to realize that collectivizing people who disagree with you is just you flinging shit like a stupid monkey.

[R Mac]

“One day you’ll be grown up enough to realize that collectivizing people who disagree with you is just you flinging shit like a stupid monkey.”

He won’t though.

[Ben of Houston]

That's what I don't get. More and more people were thrown into the reluctant Trump camp through the sheer insanity of the left.

I didn't care for Trump, but people claiming that he was a horrific fascist who would enslave women and enact the Handmaid's Tale was just too much. How did people think that such insanity would convince people to vote their way?

[Gozer the Gozarian]

Here is a fact: He's not fucking president anymore!
Need another one?

[Woodchipper for Preet Bharara @ [e-mail]]

Nobody wants to talk about your "big lie" nonsense. Trump isn't president.
The Dementia Turd is, along with the rope around his neck as he is dragged around by his handler leftists. What totalitarianism from Trump??? He is gone - get over yourself.

[Mike Laursen]

Does Trump know this? ‘Cause he is holding rallies, fundraising, and issuing statements about current political issues.

[DesigNate]

Almost like he plans on running again.

[JesseAz]

This is another H02 moment for you.

[Chumby]

What does White Knight have to say about this?

[R Mac]

Caw caw?

[Mother's Lament]

Read it and weep... with laughter.
Mike Liarsen actually tried to pretend he wasn't also White Knight all of a sudden.

Mike Laursen

White Knight pointed out, correctly, that you are very logical, but quite unaware that you often engage in not seeking out information that goes against your narratives, garbage-in/garbage-out logic, and not checking your conclusions for basic sanity. You should have listened to White Knight.

Shocking video recorded in Portland show a large group of antifa carrying shields & weapons move in to attack & shut down a family Christian prayer & worship event on the waterfront. Police did not intervene. [Video]

According to one of the militant antifa members who witnessed the violent direct action, antifa threw the Christian group's sound equipment into the Willamette River. The attendees, which included children, were hit with projectiles & pepper spray.

According to this antifa account, after assaulting the attendees of the Portland family Christian prayer event, they stole their food and water.

[KillAllRednecks]

When are you going to learn that Ngo is a lying attention whore?

Anyone familiar with his bullshit just thinks you look foolish.

[Nardz]

KARen's pedophile friends will be without protection from The State soon, and they will cry

[KillAllRednecks]

What on earth are you talking about?

What pedophile friends?

[Mother's Lament]

Well, SPB2 for one, and didn't you want to rape a Mormon child to death or something?

[KillAllRednecks]

Where have I claimed to be pals with buttplug? Hell the other posters on here I do like I disagree with on politics mostly, but I find them funny and chill.

[JesseAz]

Lol. Yeah. He was jealous that 14 year olfs could marry in the early days of the Mormon church. It is what set him off.

[KillAllRednecks]

I was criticizing Smith for something I was jealous of him for?

No I didn’t make myself clear is all.

[Nardz]

"Anti"fa is full of pedophiles, but I guess it's just normal behavior to you so you're unfamiliar with what it's called

[KillAllRednecks]

Where did you get your info from? They conceal their identities so how can it be “full of pedophiles” if you don’t know who any are?

[KillAllRednecks]

Also where did I say I support Antifa or are friends with them?

[JesseAz]

A Democrat in Arizona just got charged with 30 something counts of sexual contact with 2 children.

[KillAllRednecks]

Antifa doesn’t support the Democrats.

Dennis Hastert was a Republican. Are we to assume the GOP have a bunch of pedos in their ranks?

[Chumby]

Hastert should have had an untimely encounter with a woodchipper.

[Nardz]

"Antifa doesn’t support the Democrats."

Hahahahhahahahaha

[KillAllRednecks]

I’m sure they have many different “views” on politics, but after the election the ones in Portland did the same shit they always did. They claimed they hated Biden too.

[Chumby]

There is Venn diagram overlap with what is generally considered Antifa positions and the progressive Democratic party. But they seem more anarchist, free-lanceish shit disturbers than big brother. Like Goth mercenaries that form the vanguard of a Roman army attack.

[Nardz]

They are the left's less classy Brown Shirts.
Yea, they love to talk about how they're anarchists who hate Democrats too, but all their demands are for more powerful and extensive government and they seem to take direct orders from the DNC.

[KillAllRednecks]

“they seem to take direct orders from the DNC.”

Where have Jamie Harrison or Tom Perez ordered brawls with fascists, vandalism, and looting?

[Nardz]

Remember when the Ds started tanking in the polls because their little soy stormtroopers were acting like such assholes that Pelosi had to come on TV and tell them to take a break?
This was before they had the cover of BLM in Operation Get Behind The Darkies

[KillAllRednecks]

When did Pelosi tell them to start?

They didn’t seem to stop at all whenever a Dem politician disavowed violence.

Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”

Seems if there’s an armed wing of a political party it’s the proud boys and GOP.

[markm23]

Antifa is the armed wing of a political party, but it's not the Democrats. It's the one that is using the Democrats as cover but regards liberals as "useful idiots", and sends them to the concentration camps _first_ wherever it gains power.

[markm23]

And has never run an honest election.

[KillAllRednecks]

Ngo lies about his fascist pals he hangs with before they start fights at bars. He selectively edits and publishes his videos and stories just like Antifa does.

He shouldn’t of been attacked, but he’s a lying piece of shit.

No wonder Nardz the Nazi posts his bullshit.

[Mother's Lament]

Point to a single instance where Ngo made a claim that wasn't backed up with documentary or video evidence, or piss off, you antisemitic troll.

[KillAllRednecks]

I’ll do that when you cite me being antisemitic.

The brawl at the bar where the fascists he was paling around with beforehand. He claimed the Antifa people started it when it was started by his fascist pals.

Everyone knows he omits shit that doesn’t support his narrative and selectively edits his videos. Just like Antifa does.

[Woodchipper for Preet Bharara @ [e-mail]]

I’ll do that when you cite me being antisemitic.

In other words - he doesn't have a single instance! ROFL!

[KillAllRednecks]

Below that I mentioned an example.

ML keeps saying I said horrible things about Jews.

I’ll quit posting if someone can cite me saying that crap.

[Mother's Lament]

So sorry, you actually hated on beanie-wearing Israelis, because somehow that's different.
Mea Culpa, you Jew-hating fuck.

[KillAllRednecks]

Please cite me saying those things or stop claiming I did.

You’ve had plenty of time to find them.

[Nardz]

"shouldn’t of"

Yikes

[KillAllRednecks]

Ya got me there.

I guess you’re not only a Nazi, but a grammar Nazi.

At least I never claimed a bunch of conjecture in a comment section was a “mountain of evidence” of election fraud.

[Nardz]

No, it's simple math that's evidence.

But keep calling people nazis and see if you survive the results

[KillAllRednecks]

You want to kill people who disagree with you politically. That’s fascist.

You also have insane far right political views.

So shut the fuck up you stupid, inbred, backwards southerner NAZI!

You shouldn’t be forcing your views on anyone. You live in the asshole of America you chicken fried southerner.

[Nardz]

If you'd abide by live-and-let-live, self defense wouldn't be necessary.
I don't give a shit what you do or believe until it impacts me and my loved ones.
But you collectivists will not tolerate anyone living outside your control and are determined to ruin our lives.
So fuck you.
What the left has done is unforgivable, and calls for reckoning.

[KillAllRednecks]

I do live and let live.

I’m not a collectivist you backwards Nazi!

You’re the one supporting treason you stupid fucking NAZI!

Goddamn you southerners are fucking dumb.

[Nardz]

Its every post proves KARen a low intellect liar.

[KillAllRednecks]

What am I lying about?

Why am I low intellect?

You’re stupid because you’re a backward, southern Nazi.

[Nardz]

"What am I lying about?"
Almost everything.

"Why am I low intellect?"
^
"You’re stupid because you’re a backward, southern Nazi."
It's easy to tell because you can't do anything but repeat the same set of shallow talking points.

[KillAllRednecks]

Care to cite a specific lie?

I’m sorry for saying you were intellectually disabled in the past.

Trump lost. Get over it.

[Nardz]

"Care to cite a specific lie?"
"I do live and let live.
I’m not a collectivist you backwards Nazi!
You’re the one supporting treason you stupid fucking NAZI!
Goddamn you southerners are fucking dumb."

[KillAllRednecks]

How are any of those lies?

[Azathoth!!]

You want to kill people who disagree with you politically. That’s fascist.

No, it's oppressive. It has absolutely nothing to do with the leftist philosophy called 'fascism' which is, at it's base, about strength through collective action.

[KillAllRednecks]

On the night they called the election for Biden you claimed that there was a “mountain of evidence” in the reason comment section.

Shut your traitor ass up. How dare you put your hard on for a senile orange con man above your own country.

Shame on you! Backwards Nazi.

[Mother's Lament]

KARs a race-baiting authoritarian who proudly blames all society's ills on an ethno-religious group, but somehow everyone else is the Nazi.

“KARs a race-baiting authoritarian who proudly blames all society’s ills on an ethno-religious group, but somehow everyone else is the Nazi.“

Stop claiming I’m anti-Semitic please.

If you can cite me being anti Semitic I will stop posting.

WKARP in Cincinnati Salt Lake City

[KillAllRednecks]

One of the actors on that show was Mormon.

The old guy who was also in Maytag commercials and played himself in an episode of Diffrnt Strokes. The one where he tries to molest Gary Coleman.

[Chumby]

And you were the stunt double for Arnold?

[R Mac]

He wishes.

[KillAllRednecks]

If I was and shorter and blacker I’d be all for it.

I’m sure Gary Coleman’s stunt double made decent money.

He could also be the stunt double for Emmanuel Lewis.

[Chumby]

I’m not sure he made a lot of money. He only had a small role.

[KillAllRednecks]

Goddamn your funny Gumby.

[KillAllRednecks]

*you’re

Don’t want grammar Nazi/real Nazi Nardz calling me out.

[Nardz]

You're vs your is an easy typo with autocorrect and quick typing and all.

Substituting of for have or 've isn't a typo, it's pure low class stupidity.

[KillAllRednecks]

“Low class stupidity”

That’s rich coming from someone who lives in Jacksonville.

Sorry I don’t proof read my comments. I have better things to do.
Cram it traitor.

[Chumby]

Yore

[Nardz]

"That’s rich coming from someone who lives in Jacksonville."

Says the Portlander...
Lol.

[Nardz]

It's not about proof reading your comments, which would catch something like you're vs your, but about being such a low class dimwit that you don't realize "of" is a completely different word than "have", and makes absolutely no sense as you're using it, because it's phonetically similar to the "'ve" contraction for those whose articulation is less than precise.

[KillAllRednecks]

I will take not having the best command of the English language over being a Trump worshipping sycophant.

To be fair I’ve never been to Jacksonville, but from the other parts of Florida I’ve seen I wouldn’t expect much.

Despite what all the conservatives want you to think Portland is still a lovely place to live.

[Nardz]

Learn when you're beat, KARen

[KillAllRednecks]

You beat me for pointing out I don’t have the best grammar?

Neither of us is going to convince the other of anything.

However you’re the one supporting overturning an election…

[KillAllRednecks]

I’m not African American and I’m a lot taller than Gary Coleman.

[Chumby]

You could have blackfaced. It is condoned in progressive circles with notable examples from NBC and Virginia’s governor.

[Earth Skeptic]

Hmm, what other parties in this made for TV drama are lying attention whores?

[KillAllRednecks]

All parties

[Mother's Lament]

What would you do if you came upon a crowd of religious people and you were still legally allowed to own a gun, KAR?

[KillAllRednecks]

I do own guns, and I wouldn’t do anything.

[Woodchipper for Preet Bharara @ [e-mail]]

A better question is what would KillAllRednecks do if he saw Antifa burning down people's homes or forcefully inseminating their daughters.

[KillAllRednecks]

Try and stop them.

I don’t know why people think I support Antifa.

Just because I don’t like the fascists they brawl with doesn’t mean I like the .

[SQRLSY One]

The true nature of reality has very-very little to do with short-term political success. That's what the article is all about! Short-term political success has MUCH more to do with signalling that "I am part of OUR tribe! I hold ALL of the wacky beliefs that OUR tribe holds, whether they are true, or not! My tribe's violence GOOD; THEIR tribe's violence is BAD! So when our tribal chieftain is looking to whack the bad guys with a stick... Remember! I am one of the GOOD guys!

Sooner or later, karma catches up, and the others will pussy-grab you right back!

Which accusations? The latest ones - by people who just assumed without examining any bodiess that an old cemetery located with ground-penetrating radar was populated only with children just because it was near a school as well as a town - are idiotic.

About the only good thing you can say about Shockley is that at least his transiator brought the world together on solid state radio, TV, stereos, computers, and smartphones and drowned out a lot of racist nonsense.

[Ben of Houston]

At the time, people who disagreed with eugenics and "social Darwinism" were attacked as "science deniers", similar to some political issues today.

After all, genetics was the hot new science. Why not use it to improve humanity? What could possibly go wrong?

The issue is that eugenics does make a lot of sense on a personal level. You see it on a small scale as many people with congenital conditions choose not to have children in order to not pass on the disease. However, implementing it on any other level involves someone in power making the most basic of life choices for someone else. It's a recipe for a descent into evil.

However, it was Melzer’s comments on the wider perspective of the crackdown that stirred the most interest.

After seeing similar scenes during anti-lockdown protests in European cities across the continent, as well as “police operations in demonstrations worldwide,” Melzer came to a sobering conclusion.

“Something fundamental is going wrong. In all regions of the world, the authorities are apparently increasingly viewing their own people as an enemy,” he stated.

Really interesting paper, good resource. Here's just one section:

Prejudice words in news media and public perceptions of prejudice

We next compare indexes derived from survey data on public opinion perceptions about the severity of different types of prejudice in U.S. society and news media frequency usage of prejudice-denoting words. We use publicly available survey data about Americans’ perceptions on the prevalence of different types of prejudice in the country. This is not to be confused with survey data attempting to assess the existence of prejudicial attitudes among survey participants. Rather, we collected surveys assessing participants’ subjective perceptions about the severity of prejudice itself in the wider society.

To create robust indices on perceptions of prejudice severity that encompass the entire time range analyzed (2000-2019), we “stitched” together different longitudinal surveys, each measuring a common latent variable of specific prejudice severity perceptions, using the Dyad Ratios algorithm  [5], a method for the extraction of a common dimension in longitudinal data such as survey marginal responses over time that are massively incomplete. That is, most variables (survey questions) do not exist for most time samples. The Dyad Ratios algorithm combines several longitudinal surveys into a single index that provides a more robust overall measurement of sentiment across the population than each longitudinal survey in isolation

The correlation between prevalence of prejudice denoting words in news media and public perceptions of prejudice severity is very high, see Figure 12. A notable exception is the relationship between homophobia-denoting words prevalence in news media and public perceptions on severity of homophobia, where the correlation is negative.

We also tested whether prejudice words frequency usage in news media predicts shifts in public opinion or the other way around. We used the KPSS test to assess stationarity and apply differencing if needed to stationarize the time series. Granger-causality tests, Bonferroni adjusted for multiple comparisons, for test lags of 1, 2 and 3 years, show that word usage of ethnic and gender prejudice-denoting terms in news media is predictive of shifts in public opinion about the severity of ethnic and gender prejudice, see Figure 12. All Granger causality tests in the reverse direction (public opinion → word frequency) for all types of prejudice were not significant.

[Nardz]

This seems healthy...
From the above paper:

Prevalence of Prejudice-Denoting Words in News Media DiscourseSummary of manuscript “Prevalence of Prejudice-Denoting Words in News Media Discourse: A Chronological Analysis”

David Rozado

Jul 1921

Published article:  Prevalence of Prejudice-Denoting Words in News Media Discourse: A Chronological Analysis

Quick Summary in Twitter

Overview

I recently published an article with Musa Al-Gharbi and Jamin Halberstadt where we analyzed the prevalence of words denoting prejudice in 27 million news and opinion articles written between 1970 and 2019 and published in 47 of the most popular news media outlets in the United States such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal or Fox News, see AllSides Media Bias Chart v1.1 [1] in Figure 1.

Our analysis focused primarily on tracking the prevalence of words that describe prejudice such as racism, sexism, islamophobia, anti-Semitism and homophobia. We then examined the relationship between the usage of prejudice-denoting terms in written news media and other factors, such as news outlets’ ideological leanings or the prevalence of prejudice-signifying words in cable news. We also attempted to elucidate whether the prevalence of prejudice denoting words in news media discourse changed before or after 2015, a significant year that marked the beginning of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election campaign. Our analysis continued by investigating whether some outlets preceded others on the usage dynamics of prejudice denoting words. Finally, we examined the relationship between the prevalence of prejudice denoting words in news media discourse and public opinion perceptions about prejudice severity in the wider society.

Figure 1 AllSides 2019 Media Bias Ratings v1.1

Frequency of word usage in news media articles

Yearly frequency of a target word in an outlet in any given year was estimated by dividing the total number of occurrences of the target word in all articles of a given year by the total number of all words in all articles of that year. This method of estimating frequency accounts for variable volume of total article output over time. Figure 2 shows the min-max scaled yearly frequencies of several sample words in The New York Times content during the past 50 years to illustrate that our method produces sensible results.

Figure 2 Min-max scaled yearly frequency of words in New York Times articles.

Comparing the frequency of words across different outlets can be informative to illustrate the different saliency of themes across outlets. Figure 3 shows similar and distinct patterns of word occurrence across 4 different news outlets that target different news consumption market segments.

Prevalence of prejudice-denoting words in written news media

Figure 4 illustrates the increasing prevalence of words denoting different types of prejudice in two prestigious newspapers in the United States: The New York Times (in blue) and The Washington Post (in red). A clear trend of increasing prevalence of prejudice related terms is apparent with words such as racist or sexist increasing in usage between 2010 and 2019 by 638% and 403% in The New York Times or 514% and 141% respectively in The Washington Post. The yearly usage of prejudice related words is highly correlated between both outlets as shown by the Pearson correlation coefficient, r, in the upper left corner of each plot.

Figure 4 Yearly usage frequency of prejudice denoting terms in The New York Times and The Washington Post news and opinion articles. The Pearson correlation coefficient, r, between both time series and the percentage change in frequency, △, between 2010 and 2019 are shown in the upper left corner of each plot.

Aggregating yearly frequency counts across the 47 news media outlets analyzed shows that the trend from Figure 4 is not circumscribed to The New York Times and The Washington Post but it is the general tendency across most news media outlets, see Figure 5. The pattern highlighted in Figure 5 is not exclusive to the specific set of words shown in the figure. A different set of prejudice related terms also shows a similar trend, see details in original manuscript. A very subtle trend in Figure 5 (highlighted by the grey dashed vertical bar) is that the prevalence of a reduced set of prejudice-denoting words such as racism, sexism or bigotry, also experienced a milder usage peak in the 1990s.

Figure 5 Average frequencies of prejudice denoting terms across 47 popular news media outlets. The percentage change in frequency, △, between 2010 and 2019 is shown in the upper left corner of each plot. The shaded area around the trend line indicates the 95% confidence interval.

We next used factor analysis to quantify shared variability among the studied prejudice denoting terms. Factor analysis allows elucidation of whether an underlying latent factor captures most of the variance observable in the individual dynamics of each prejudice-denoting term time series. Factor analysis of all the prejudice-signifying words in Figure 5 and 20 additional prejudice-denoting terms does indeed show that a single factor accounts for over 76% of all the variance.

Figure 6 Factor analysis of 40 prejudice-denoting words. Min-max scaled frequency counts to jointly display frequencies with different absolute scales from the set of 40 prejudice words are dimly displayed in the background and their scale is represented in the right Y-axis.

Figure 7 plots the prevalence of prejudice related words in news outlets aggregated by ideological leanings using human annotations of media political bias from the 2019 AllSides Media Bias ratings v1.1 [1].  The Figure shows that the growing usage of prejudice related words in news articles has been consistent across news outlets regardless of their ideological leanings, but overall, prejudice-denoting words appear to be less prevalent in centrist outlets as shown by the green trend lines (representing centrist outlets) being consistently below the blue (left-leaning outlets) and red (right-leaning outlets) trend lines.

Figure 7 Average frequencies of prejudice denoting terms across media organizations sorted by the ideological leanings of news outlets. The percentage change in frequency usage, △, between 2010 and 2019 is shown in the upper left corner of each plot. The shaded areas around trend lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals.

We next compared overall news media prevalence across prejudice types. Figure 8a shows the average prevalence of related word pairs denoting six distinct types of prejudice. Both historically and in recent years, the racism theme displays the highest absolute prevalence in news written articles followed by anti-Semitism, sexism and homophobia.

Figure 8b shows the min-max scaled average frequencies of prejudice-specific word pairs to highlight times of maximum relative usage irrespective of overall prevalence. Notice that for the year 2019, four different types of prejudice cluster in the top right of the plot, denoting maximum usage over the entire time range. A dashed grey vertical bar indicates the year 2015, when Donald Trump entered the contest for the nomination of the Republican Party to the presidency of the United States. The figure shows that in the previous year, 2014, the usage of words denoting racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism were at or near, up to that year, all-time highs. These results suggest that the trend of increasing prevalence of prejudice related words in media discourse precedes the political emergence of Donald Trump -- although Trump’s presidency and subsequent reactions to it may have exacerbated these trends.  

To discern whether the increasing usage trend of prejudice denoting words accelerates after 2015, we carried out a paired t-test of the word pairs frequencies slopes between 2010-2014, and 2015-2019 for the target words in Figure 5. Results appear to indicate an acceleration of the trend after 2015, though statistical significance was borderline, t(19)=-2.59, p-value ≈ 0.02.

Correlations of prejudice-denoting word usage across news media

Correlations of yearly frequency counts for specific prejudice themes across the 47 news media outlets in the 2000-2019 time range suggest that left-leaning and centrist news media outlets tend to be synchronized in the yearly usage of words that denote racism. In contrast, moderate left-leaning, centrist, and right-leaning outlets tend to be highly correlated in the usage of terms that denote anti-Semitism. Centrist and right-leaning outlets also seem to be correlated in their usage of terms that denote homophobia, see Figure 9.

Figure 9 Correlation across outlets in yearly usage frequency of different prejudice themes. Outlets are arranged in the axis according to ideological leaning ratings from AllSides

Correlation between written news media and TV cable news

Using word prevalence data from Stanford Cable TV News Analyzer [2], [3] (containing data since 2010), we compare the prevalence of prejudice related words between written news media and TV cable news (CNN, Fox and MSNBC) for the 2010-2019 time frame, see Figure 10. The degree of correlation between prejudice-denoting words in written news media and TV cable news is very high as indicated by the large r Pearson correlation coefficients in the upper left corner of each plot.

Figure 10 Word prevalence in written news media articles and cable news. Pearson correlation coefficient between both time series is shown in the upper left corner of each plot. The source for cable news data is Stanford Cable TV News Analyzer [2], [3].

News outlets pioneers and followers in the usage of prejudice words

Granger-causality tests can be used to determine whether a time series of prejudice- denoting words yearly frequency in one outlet is predictive of future frequency counts of those words in another outlet [4]. The term causality in Granger causality is misleading because one time series preceding another is a necessary but not sufficient condition for establishing causation. Thus, we used the Granger-causality test to simply describe statistically significant precedence in time. We use the ssr-based test for determining effect size.

Figure 11 shows a matrix of color-coded p-values (Bonferroni corrected for multiple comparisons) representing Granger-causality tests for time series of average frequency of prejudice-denoting words in an outlet (columns) being predictive of future time series (lag=1 year) of the same set of words in another outlet (rows). The columns with the largest amount of p-values below the 0.01 significance threshold are color-coded in red to highlight the outlets that have led the way in the usage of prejudice denoting terms. The matrix shows that some influential outlets such as The New York Times, Bloomberg or The Washington Post have been trend setters in the usage of prejudice related terms while other outlets have followed the trend in the subsequent year.

Figure 11 Each matrix shows color-coded Granger causality p-values, Bonferroni adjusted for multiple comparisons, for whether prejudice-denoting terms yearly usage in column outlets are predictive of same prejudice-denoting terms usage in row outlets the following year. Column outlets highlighted in red are the columns with the largest amount of p-values below the 0.01 threshold.

Prejudice words in news media and public perceptions of prejudice

We next compare indexes derived from survey data on public opinion perceptions about the severity of different types of prejudice in U.S. society and news media frequency usage of prejudice-denoting words. We use publicly available survey data about Americans’ perceptions on the prevalence of different types of prejudice in the country. This is not to be confused with survey data attempting to assess the existence of prejudicial attitudes among survey participants. Rather, we collected surveys assessing participants’ subjective perceptions about the severity of prejudice itself in the wider society.

To create robust indices on perceptions of prejudice severity that encompass the entire time range analyzed (2000-2019), we “stitched” together different longitudinal surveys, each measuring a common latent variable of specific prejudice severity perceptions, using the Dyad Ratios algorithm  [5], a method for the extraction of a common dimension in longitudinal data such as survey marginal responses over time that are massively incomplete. That is, most variables (survey questions) do not exist for most time samples. The Dyad Ratios algorithm combines several longitudinal surveys into a single index that provides a more robust overall measurement of sentiment across the population than each longitudinal survey in isolation

The correlation between prevalence of prejudice denoting words in news media and public perceptions of prejudice severity is very high, see Figure 12. A notable exception is the relationship between homophobia-denoting words prevalence in news media and public perceptions on severity of homophobia, where the correlation is negative.

We also tested whether prejudice words frequency usage in news media predicts shifts in public opinion or the other way around. We used the KPSS test to assess stationarity and apply differencing if needed to stationarize the time series. Granger-causality tests, Bonferroni adjusted for multiple comparisons, for test lags of 1, 2 and 3 years, show that word usage of ethnic and gender prejudice-denoting terms in news media is predictive of shifts in public opinion about the severity of ethnic and gender prejudice, see Figure 12. All Granger causality tests in the reverse direction (public opinion → word frequency) for all types of prejudice were not significant.

Figure 12 Relationship between frequency of prejudice terms in 47 popular news outlets and public opinion survey data about people’s perceptions on severity of prejudice in society.

Limitations of this work

Our methodology has some limitations that we discuss in detail in the paper. Briefly stated, frequency counts of prejudice denoting terms in news media lack critical information about the context in which the terms are being used. Another limitation of our analysis is the sparsity of public opinion time series data regarding perceptions on severity of some types of prejudice such as anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Also, the time series survey data used is statistically underpowered (i.e. it is very short) due to the decaying availability of survey data for earlier years. The short nature of the time series analyzed creates substantial ambiguity about how to test and remove nonstationarity prior to applying Granger-causality.

Conclusion

Our results document a marked increase in the prevalence of prejudice-denoting words in news media discourse within the 2010-2019 time frame. The trend precedes the emergence of Donald Trump in the political landscape for most of the terms analyzed but appears to accelerate after 2015.  The abrupt and dramatic changes in word frequencies suggest the existence of powerful underlying social dynamics at play.

It is noteworthy that prejudice-denoting words are markedly increasing in prevalence alongside long-term decreases in overt expression of prejudice [6]-[9] yet recent increases in the perceived prevalence of such prejudice among the general public. It is our hope that the detailed characterization of the phenomena presented here can pave the way for future studies looking in-depth at potential causal factors for the trends described herein as well as the impact of news media rhetoric on public consciousness and the social implications of growing perceptions of prejudice severity among the general population.

Gauntlet thrown!

[Jerryskids]

Entirely anecdotal, but my niece has the 'rona. She started feeling crappy Wednesday, got tested Thursday and the lab confirmed it. She lost her sense of smell and taste Friday but after spending the weekend in bed eating ibuprofen and various drugs, she's feeling better now.

Thing is, she's a nurse and was one of the first to get a vaccine back around New Years. About six weeks ago, she was told at work that she might want to get a "booster shot", so apparently the medical community has been concerned for some time that the vaccine has a limited effectiveness. I guess we'll see how effective the natural immunity from actually getting the virus is. In the meantime, I think anybody talking about what we need to do to return to normal is lying - this shit is never going to end. I mean, it will end in red states when too many people simply will refuse to obey, it's never going to end in the blue states where people actually believe government is their friend.

The fatalities are grouped around Texas/Mississippi Delta and Florida almost exclusively among the unvaccinated.

Of course we are going to have to live with it. The Lambda strain just hit the US.

But the Idiot Belt (Texas to Florida) will suffer most.

Also is it possible that Buttplug doesn't know that the highest percentage of unvaxxed are irreligious youth, or is he ignoring the fact because it doesn't fit his narrative?

[Rev. Arthur L. Kuckland]

Your data is from a paper published in March of 2021

[DesigNate]

As far as I can tell, none of these new strains originated in the US. So how is it the unvaccinated’s fault that the variants are spreading, when it’s obviously being imported from international travel of some sort?

[Claptrap]

The compare/contrast between the recent waves in the UK/Sweden/Holland vs. Israel really highlights the upside to getting healthy people exposed to the virus instead of relying on vaccination following shelter-in-place. Vaccines are great for broad protection of the population and as a shield against the worst outcomes, but the natural kind is far deeper.

At least 45 people were shot in less than 20 hours in Chicago, seven of them fatally, including a Chicago police officer who was killed by gunfire as she and her partner were making a traffic stop in the West Englewood neighborhood.

----Chicago Tribune, August 8, 2021

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-shootings-violence-police-20210808-uckyquxhwnh7nkyronoxruclrq-story.html

"It’s the dismal tide. It is not the one thing."

If you're Lori Lightfoot, how do you even begin to address that without rallying support for the police? I suppose she'll deny and stonewall.

But that's how you generate support for crackdowns by the police. As people come to associate out of control crime with police reform, boot lickers become unstoppable.

This trend probably bodes well for Kamala Harris. She was dismissed as a bootlicker in the midst of George Floyd protests, but bootlickers may become extremely popular over the next few years.

It may be like when Hillary Clinton and the Democrat establishment was solidly pro-Iraq War and Obama was an outsider--only to see the Iraq War become increasingly unpopular and Obama being one of the few Democrats who hadn't been entirely on board with it.

The Democrats better have crime nailed down come the summer of 2022, or their asses will really be in sling come the following November.

No one gives a shit about gang violence in Chicago, you moron.

[Chumby]

Gang shooting data is always included whenever progressives go after the Second Amendment. I get why it is otherwise avoided bu the left because it highlights the failures of progressive policies such as in citied like Chicago.

[Ken Shultz]

Why wouldn't gang violence matter?

Oh, and, even as far back as the 1990s, everyone in gang infested neighborhoods was affiliated with a gang. You can't be in that neighborhood, walk out of your apartment, or go to the local public school if you aren't affiliated--by the time you're out of junior high at least.

Not everyone is a soldier, but the Hollywood vision of Boyz n the Hood, where kids struggle with the decision of whether to join a gang or go to college, is bullshit. If you grow up in that neighborhood with that gang, you're affiliated. You may not be a soldier or someone that sells drugs and handles money, but you're affiliated.

Differentiating between gang members and non-gang members in terms of the shooting victims in those neighborhoods is absurd. I worked in a hospital on the edge of what they used to call South Central LA, and you couldn't hire men from the local community and not hire gang members. Every male in the local community was affiliated with a gang since they were in junior high.

If they were counting suicides in the statistics, that might be an issue, but the idea that shooting victims don't matter if they're gang members doesn't make any sense. The drug war, three strikes, Daryl Gates' LAPD's militarization of the police, etc., etc. was practically all driven by concerns about gang violence. Oh, and, incidentally, not being in a gang doesn't mean you won't be a victim of gang violence.

Of all the people who actually hit somebody with a bullet over the weekend in Chicago, and their victims survived, there were probably plenty more who missed their intended target entirely. Getting hit by stray gunfire in a crowded club is probably pretty easy. Cops might be reluctant to shoot at all in crowded room like that--even if they were in danger.

[Nardz]

Unless it's the capitol and the target(s) has the wrong politics

[Chumby]

Gun death stats include suicides, gang shootings, justified shootings (self defense and police). Everything.
The left ignores the Chicago, Portland et. al. stories except when they are trying to ban guns.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kuckland]

I can attest to this, as I think talcum x can too. My dad was in a gang, I was not but I generally stayed in the Latin kings area, as I was friends with a few of them.

[Nardz]

In fact, Lori Lightcoot's first reaction to the shooting was to call for more gun control

[Ken Shultz]

LOL

[Ken Shultz]

P.S. The survival rate for gunshot wounds is astounding.

[Chumby]

Most Americans that are shot are shot with handguns. They are notoriously underpowered. Reliably hitting vitals with a handgun is also a skillset most do not have. Add in questionable calibers with poor ammo choices and many that are shot avoid taking the asphalt temperature challenge.

[Ken Shultz]

I hear about cops missing from ten feet away.

And I see statistics like that (45 shot, seven fatalities), and then I think of Sean Taylor, who was shot in the leg, through a closed door by a burglar--and died.

[Chumby]

An artery hit is a big deal. Some years ago here someone stopped a hotel “home invasion” with a single shot from a .22LR handgun with a hit to an attacker’s pelvis. Hit an artery.
But head/upper chest organs has the best reliable chance to end the conflict.
Anyone shooting without a clear sight picture is panic firing and that can result in a lot of misses. Having an attacker/someone shooting at you of course doesn’t do accuracy any favors.

[Nardz]

The bootlickers are the ones calling to defund the police.
This is how the left works

[Roberta]

The hardest truth in this one seems to be that everyone's a critic.
