Gender identity is a advanced topic that children don’t have the ability to rationalize.
If you believe that children cannot comprehend "boy" and "girl", then I don't know what to tell you.
Other than we know what all of this is really about. None of y'all are at all subtle about it, nor are you even a quarter as smart as you think you are.
theatrical appearance of competence and authority
No, no, no. It's maintaining the visage of wealth (which is also authority). It has nothing to do with looking impressive or competent, and everything to do with signalling what economic class you're supposed to come from to belong there.
Apparently they just think that their own disengagement with their kids' education is a conspiracy against them personally.
If he can get QI removed, take the win, then people could sue him for any of his dirty cop actions.
"I believe other people's human rights should be violated because I don't like them" is a great position to have right up until you're the disliked party.
I imagine you picture yourself as always the top dog. Protected, even, by the belief that even if you find yourself face down in the mud, the people you gleefully abuse will not step on your head to let you drown in the muck.
And you're probably right that they wouldn't. Because they're probably better people than you are, having had to learn empathy in a world that doesn't think much of them.
But I kind of hope you choke on dirt.
Yes, Biden hitting the rail workers with a back-to-work order was a blow to labour, but I think it's important to understand how much of what politicians does is symbolic, and, importantly, reactive.
The symbolism of Biden not just showing support for striking auto workers, but also working the picket line, is a MASSIVE. And it reflects the growing and persistent public support for striking workers in the US. He's not sticking his neck out here, he's trying to catch a wave in public sentiment, and his engagement has the potential to grow that wave even further.
That's huge, and it speaks to some truly significant shifts in the labour movement.
I don't think someone who's mentally healthy engages in random antisocial acts like this. Environmental stresses, or physiological issues, driving impulsive antisocial behaviour seem likely to be an underlying issue here.
Like, I get that people by and large like to blame individual actors for shit like this, but these things are almost always driven by chronic family and broader social issues.
Indeed. An easy and straightforward method of regulatory capture is to convince politicians that the regulations just don't need to be enforced. "The rules are fair! We totally agree to them! Now, just let us police ourself, which you know we'll do a good job of because we agreed with your rules!"
Yes, this is ultimately what it means, which means serious effort needs to be made to not let this die down.
Serious effort that I don't believe will happen, as efforts would need to be constantly escalating to remain in the news cycle.
People are taking your bait on the 3rd party bullshit, but this cannot be overlooked:
Conservatives fund the NDP
Don't choke on your tinfoil or anything. Especially not in the name of supporting a right wing party LARPing as something progressive.
Have they remembered to ask Boebert to abstain from making ~~pork~~ porn during Biden's impeachment carnival, too?
