”How one feels about Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a good measuring stick for their quality as a human being.”

Is it, though?

OK, well, I said I'd give myself access to Twitter for a few days & not get sucked into pointless arguments & I argued pointlessly for about 12 hours until daylight.

This is why I cannot be here.

Giving the account back to my friend to post things!

Yes, this is what I need right now.

Mhm. This is what I meant when I said this.

Both tribes will demand reverence be paid to their sacred figure & express horror when people react with deliberately provocative, outrageous irreverence & declare them to be evil.

Liberals keep telling me Dave Chappelle was “just joking” about Charlie Kirk and I’m a snowflake for getting offended.

Okay, let’s try it with your Charlie Kirk.

Don’t forget to laugh.

Because of the intersectionals & their focus on postcolonial theory & refusing to support the ex-Muslim feminists opposing forced veiling, FGM & honour violence. That's the main point of contention I had with them
I have a very explicit bias, yes. I am unambiguously liberal.

@HPluckrose wtf have you included "culturally relative ethics" in "nasty and silly feminist ideas".
Not only has that got nothing to do with feminism, but you have your own bias if you think relative ethics are not obvious for anybody who doesn't believe a nice humanistic god made rules.
