"I think its definitely true that a lot of people feel this way that Republicans are malicious whereas Democrats are just misguided bleeding hearts. This is a PR problem for sure but it does not accurately reflect reality. Liberals are full of hatred. They resent the rich the successful. They hate their own country. Theyre full of racial animosity. And they really truly legitimately no-joke think that theyre better than you (as the poll demonstrates) which is of course its own brand of malice. This is unilateral because Republicans support policies that are malicious. Deep down even"

It can both be the case that the first generation of immigrants has a lower crime rate than native citizens and also the case that allowing them to come here means a higher crime rate over the long-term.

Yet when youre taught about protests in school or when theyre covered in popular media theyre treated as quintessentially American and good.

"In fact I think you can make a pretty strong case that when elections are this tight its much better to have a system that alternates power than one in which one party is able to act like they have a clear mandate after a series of extremely narrow wins. @xwanyex The popular vote total is something like 51% vs 49% over the last ten elections. Both parties won five each. Seems like it's working fine. @xwanyex The popular vote total is something like 51% vs 49% over the last ten elections. Both parties won five each.

"Again it is in retrospect pretty silly that anybody thought this sentiment could possibly be restricted to only this one famous trial and we all just went anyway moving on. Nobody was curious about whether theres evidence of this kind of bias more broadly A juror from the O.J. Simpson trial said 90% of the jury believed he was guilty but acquitted him anyway as payback to White people. https://t.co/CHZgIIZ53i A juror from the O.J.

"I can confirm that in St. Louis we call the city the city @jbillinson Im going to have a nervous breakdown. Grok says that people in the Bay Area call Sf the city and somehow think that is a specific unique nickname as opposed to something everyone in every suburb or exurb says about the nearby city https://t.co/4qbHTop9gD @jbillinson Im going to have a nervous breakdown.

"Near the beginning of this movie Brad Pitt and his family briefly hide in the apartment of a Hispanic family (so that we can have a nice multicultural moment I guess) but then the entire family is killed by zombies except for their young boy who tags along with Pitts family for the rest of the movie. Theres never any mention or discussion of the fact that the boys entire family just died. He barely seems to have noticed. There are no scenes with this kid that have any relevance to the plot hes really barely in the film (just always present in the background) and his inclusion in the script"

"You can cut through a lot of this with a very simple question: Why are there disproportionately more African Americans in prison Why are they disproportionately likely to be arrested or to be involved in police encounters There are many different ways to answer that question. But theyre not all equally acceptable in polite discourse or even as many people have only recently learned in a courtroom. The problem here is that this is a question that people want answers to but progressives most of all. Most racists would actually be fine to let this question go. But progressives more than anybody"

"Some people sure but I think this is actually just mostly wrong and its a mistake a lot of the left makes. Many people including myself very much feel as though the ground has shifted underneath our feet and when we say this were constantly told by acomplete strangers who couldnt possibly know anything about our experiences or our motivations that no actually we just always have felt this way and always wanted to do this. But thats not at all our internal experience and of course saying this just pushes people even further away. I think you have really no idea how much restraint people have"

"I think this should reveal to people that liberals genuinely believe what they say and are pulled around by a genuine sense of unfairness thats based on an immediate emotional response. For example if I were lets say part of a grand conspiracy to over time boil the American public with a great replacement conspiracy then the most obvious thing in the world would be to oppose all these first generation immigrants running around in elected office saying completely insane things that rile up the other side. Much better for the long-term project to sacrifice those people and keep the demographic"

"Literally everybody involved in the discourse understands that black Americans vote for Democrats way out of proportion to what any single policy preference could explain solely because they perceive the Republican Party to be at baseline anti-black. Everybody understands this acknowledges it. Nobody thinks its weird. Every single Democrat thinks its reasonable. You cannot vote for people who agree with you on say tax policy when you have the impression that they dont like you for your immutable characteristics. When a white American votes for a republican for the same reason suddenly the"

"Were in a period of pretty intense political and social upheaval that also happens to be on the eve of really unprecedented technological change. Its a great moment to be careful about doing rapid demographic change. Theres nothing unreasonable about that. People who think about these things arent weirdos who dont like their neighbors. They arent for the most part incapable of living near other people or motivated by resentment or hatred. Its just not true"

"Life is of course much easier for my opponents if they can turn me and people like me into cartoon characters. Many people will jump at that chance because it is easier because it means that you dont have to make real arguments. I can only hope that reasonable people in the middle see through it"

"I know that a lot of people on the right see threads like this one and think dont even defend yourself. And thats a totally legitimate response. I get that. Im not doing it because I feel the need to defend my honor specifically. Im just pointing out that Noahs conception of the world is inaccurate. Hes wrong. If this is his response to my concerns then his response is based on a misconception one that applies to a lot of people. So yes people should no longer feel the need to defend themselves personally against these charges but it is important to point out when somebody has a model of the"

"Even if you dont think so cynically its just obvious that its not about any personal commitment to living around multiculturalism. They obviously want to change the demographics of the entire country. Whatever their reason for that it has to be understood as part of the project; otherwise why would you care about this Just move to New York City or LA like people always have done. There are lots of big exciting multicultural cities in the United States already"

"A very large share of liberals who no longer have God have replaced Christianity with a very silly Rawlsian metaphysics thats about [--] times stupider and more pseudo scientific than even Christianity ever was.
