How is it that every leftist is able to reason themselves into believing that dancing Jewish hippies, killed in cold blood by Islamist psychos, must have been bad people somehow?
Maybe it’s just my Catholic guilt talking but I feel guilty eating a semi-bougie meal at a restaurant knowing there are homeless people in my city. Can’t even imagine “celebrating life” a few miles away from a concentration camp.

The most "transphobic" thing Ana Kasparian has said is that puberty blockers aren't fully reversible, which is true. The most "anti-black" thing she's said is that the civil rights movement was effective because it was mostly non-violent. The people attacking her are insane.

This is just so gross to me. Black people went through hell, fought and died to make this country a better place. They and the rest of America have done an incredible job of making this country the envy of much of the world. Life is more than just struggle and suffering FFS.

This is the most racist depiction of Arabs I've seen on modern television.
A group of Arabs "is planning the next intifada", but that doesn't stop Larry David from sexualizing the woman. Then he calls her an antisemite.
Absolutely unhinged.

That was the stupid accusation, yes. Less than 10 unarmed black people died last year at the hands of police. If that's an epidemic, you've got first-world problems. Now, if you're interested in solving systemic poverty and injustice, I'm all ears.

Why is anti-woke comedy bad?
Ironically it's afraid of taking chances and upsetting its audience, so the jokes are predictable. The fact that it's a brand of comedy in the first place confined to a category makes it even more predictable.

This is actually a beautiful result. Diversity is not some special formula for success, but nor is it harmful or detrimental. People just treat each other more or less the same and it's fine. Feels good man.
Does diversity make teams work better?
Apparently not!
A new, comprehensive preregistered meta-analysis found that, whether the diversity was demographic, cognitive, or occupational, its relationship with performance was near-zero.

A bunch of people are dunking on atheists, but it's pretty obvious what's happening here. Leftists and progressives are very likely to be atheists, and the further left they go the more they favor censorship.
I thought the point of Atheism was to escape the alleged intolerant nature of religion.
Yet it seems that Atheists are the most censorious demographic when compared to their religious counterparts.
How did Atheists get to this point?

"I love Liam, but" moment.
It's very bad that college kids are bringing Hezbollah signs to protests and calling for the death of all Zionists. You can frame this as me being upset that they're camping illegally, but please understand what you're doing.
In many years time when you look back on your behaviour, a lot of you are gonna feel very proud that you identified the real problem with the current moment (students taking up too much space on campus lawns) and spent your time moralising about that. Good job.

I see a lot of anti-wokes behaving badly and matching the insanity of the far left, but that doesn't make wokeness any less cancerous. This is about bad ideology, not the behavior of the too-online. It's not team sports.
In a related question, how is it that opposition to mask and vaccine mandates became a cause of the antiwoke movement? It's hard for me to imagine an issue more orthogonal to questions of social justice.
