Everybody should always be able to self criticise.
I appreciate the attempt at holding both sides accountable,. Unfortunately, any message that diverges from far-left groupthink is highly unpopular in this thread.
He has just described the entire Republican party as an anti-science cult that consists of fascists and racists.
I think there are only two reasons for someone to be a Republican right now: either you are getting your information from propaganda networks and labeling everything else fake news (like my dad), so it's a result of ignorance, or you actually do know what the Republican base is all about right now and you actively condone it. There's not much middle ground there. There also wasn't an attempt to hold the left "accountable". I'm not even sure what they would be held accountable for, unless you want to drag up some Obama or Clinton-era issue that has no revelance to our current situation. But no, his post was just to arbitrarily level both groups using the "both sides" argument, but no specific examples or arguments were made.I appreciate the attempt at holding both sides accountable,.

I thought you said were against labels.
You love labels as long as they are used to attack centrists and conservatives, yet the moment someone exposes your Marxism, you get defensive. You are a hypocrite.
As far as "Nazi propaganda" from the far left is concerned, the biggest anti-smite and one of the most prominent progressives is in the Democratic party. I also posted the following picture from the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, an institution financed by tax payers, a while ago. Unsurprisingly, the picture attributing characteristics such as individualism, science, and hard work to white people was ignored by every single liberal in this thread.
Just curious, in your opinion, what pros do the Republicans have? And what cons do the Liberals have? And if what you say is true, about the world getting more ridiculous, then doesn't it make sense to do something about it? Maybe start condemning people who watch a Youtube video and think they know more than scientists? Condemning politicians who literally want to stop teaching critical thinking in schools. Condemning literal propaganda networks and hate-spewing talkshow hosts? Condemning social media platforms that won't remove weaponized misinformation. Wouldn't holding the people accountable who are responsible for this mess make sense as a first step for getting back on track?
Predictably, you define a Republican from a liberal perspective. Someone could be a Republican for various reasons, none of which have anything to do with what you posted, such as the belief in personal responsibility, unifying values, patriotism, certain hot button issues, and so on.
The so-called "scholars", the vast majority of whom are extremely liberal, have hijacked the U.S. education system. I make this claim as an educator who has been in the field for almost a decade.
Ok, so how should I define a Republican? My original point is still valid; if they are not in a bubble of ignorance then they can tell themselves they are only a Republican because of their beliefs in personal responsibility or whatever, but they are still condoning all of the other terrible things the modern Republican party is doing. Surely you don't agree with their tactics of voter tampering, destroying the post office, and muddying the waters of what is and isn't legal when it comes to vote tampering?
How did you draw all of that from me applauding a post?I appreciate the attempt at holding both sides accountable,. Unfortunately, any message that diverges from far-left groupthink is highly unpopular in this thread.

I didn't plan on spending too much time on here today, but dammit, I need to address this sentence specifically. From my experience, those beliefs are coverups and posturing, nothing more. I hate to keep attacking like this, but hypocraciy is at the core of the modern Republican agenda. For example, they came up with "All Lives Matter" as a way to belittle the BLM movement. They'll claim it's not to belittle BLM, that they actually believe it, but in the same sentence will say how they refuse to wear a mask to Olive Garden, and if that means it's granny's time to go, then it's just granny's time to go. Covid's got nothing on unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. They use all of those "beliefs" when it suits them, or when it allows them to cover up their true beliefs.
Yikes
Btw, Hillary and Biden are not "left." They are liberal centrists. Please don't confuse them for each other. Calm down there, Blaire White lol
"left" and "right" are nonsense terms anyway. as if there were only two directions in a field as complex as politics. in the end, people might just be fighting because the ones are "right" and the others are "left" (because these clearly are opposing terms) without even knowing what the other person actually thinks.
not gonna go deeper here. my post was not meant as offense or criticism toward you but im not gonna bother with THAT response.
ok thx for enabling safeties again. now let me put it like that:
In the context of race and income, I have proffered a plethora of data that demonstrate that minorities in American earn more money than anywhere else in the world. I have also provided evidence that shows that the overwhelming majority of homicides in America are intraracial and unrelated to the police. Nonetheless, social justice warriors continue pushing the notion that officers are actively pursuing and abusing black men on a daily basis in America. Advancing this narrative has consequences and is dangerous for black men and police officers alike. Finally, I have proven that the Black Lives Matter movement is a Neo-Marxist movement masquerading as a civil rights movement.
Is there oxygen up there on your high horse? When did you PROVE anything? Because I've been waiting literally the entire summer for you to refute any of my arguments about how one woman's affiliations do not quantify the actions of the MILLIONS of other people involved in BLM right now, and all you've done is post a bunch of numbers and call me an ideologue about a hundred times so you can circumvent the fact that you're wrong. Can you speak for literally every other person involved in Black Lives Matter? Can you show me where the rest of these Marxists and scary left-wing people you keep claiming are the real problem are? Or are you not inclined to debate it another ten pages because you know you have nothing to offer the argument but rhetoric and goalpost moving?
. I'll see you in another twenty pages, where I STILL will not have found any validation for your case or those of the Trump people.
I'm not sure what any of that has to do with what you quoted of my response. When did I ever mention the police or minorities in relation to critical thinking? In any case, you haven't "proven" anything; I'm not sure where you keep getting that idea. Your own opinions about critical thinking also don't change the fact that Texas Republicans literally tried to abolish the teaching of critical thinking skills in schools, which was the point of my post. One side is actively attacking education. As an educator, I'm not sure how you can defend or condone that.
