They were too busy signing checks to his campaign to get him elected.

Because the cruelty is the goal.

They deported the parents. Would you leave a sick children under the custody of a state who thinks you’re sub-human due to your skin color? They had no choice but to bring the kid back with them to Mexico.

Next step is ready then. Dismantle the chain of command, appoint exclusively Trump loyalists, order the military to suppress dissent by force. They really are speed running Road to Dictatorship 101.

Bunch of twats forgot that Trump is just the orange version of the mortadela. Once a populist victim, always a populist victim. Just because they hate the same people you hate, doesn’t mean they love you.

I’d bet money that right now Putin is laughing maniacally as his goons download terabytes of US national security secrets.

Because fascism doesn’t have any consistent political or ideological principles other than doing whatever keeps and increases their power over people. Everything else is optional and logic is outright discouraged.

I think it is ironic that most of Villeneuve’s Dune Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer has a ton of heavily processed electric guitar.

He isn’t which is why I called him intrusist there at the end for writing a book about psychology and neurology which he doesn’t understand. But the quote is from Coyne, another biologist who wrote the reply and was supported by Pinker, who is a psychologist and should’ve known better. None of these people know what they’re talking about and are acting in this whole thing from passion instead of reason and evidence. Which is ironic, I believe.

“Why should sex be changeable while other physical traits cannot? Feelings don’t create reality,” he wrote. “Instead, in biology ‘sex’ is traditionally defined by the size and mobility of reproductive cells. “It is not ‘transphobic’ to accept the biological reality of binary sex and to reject concepts based on ideology. One should never have to choose between scientific reality and trans rights.”

As a fellow psychologist, I must regretfully state that this is the stupidest thing ever written by a psychologist. Our entire science is built upon the notion that feelings indeed create and modify (social) reality*. Sex is not gender, and he fumbled the most basic differentiation of concepts.

Heteronormative gender roles, on the other hand, are categorically a form of ideology and to defend them in place of basic human decency is a disgrace, good riddance to both asshats, I say. Specially with such a tenous biological argument that any good biologist can tell you is patently false. Gametes are not binary, there are hundred of thousands of intersex individuals for which this narrow definition doesn’t apply.

Grant is absolutely right, but I don’t expect the mentally weak asshole who invented the word “meme” to ever understand social sciences. His book is a pathetic pseudo scientific intrusion in a field he doesn’t understand in the slightest.

*: some philosophers would even argue that there’s no reality but social reality and both are one and the same.

It’s valid to get mad at the article being removed and not discussed. But I have to say, that argument calling “gender ideology” a religion and its justification reads exactly as a right-wing anti-woke argument calling science a religion. Or the way I like to translate it, “everything I don’t like is X” syndrome. Be it woke, religion, or anything else. It’s a blatant display of rigid thinking. Just because someone didn’t intent to hurt doesn’t mean their actions can’t hurt, and that’s a big part of critical feminist theory (of which they might not entirely understand much about). Our actions and words have material and social consequences that extend beyond our intentions. Maybe try to understand why they were injurious instead of throwing a performative tantrum.

Edit: this comment is a reply to another comment and somehow got duplicated by lemmy as both a reply to OP and the comment. My apologies.

The public learning that efficiency is billionaire’s dog whistle for mass layoffs.

But friend if the doctors step aside, there isn’t anyone to step in their place. Say what you want, but no one will willingly go to jail for one case, when staying out of jail means they can help hundreds. Doctors need support and help, not berating and insults. They’re humans like the rest of us and just doing their best with the shitshow the state handed to them. In some places even the misoprostol is forbidden, as it is part of the medical abortion protocol. Take it on with the constituents who voted for this mess, and the politicians who enacted the regulations, but not on the victims being forced to make morbid choises between their own lives and the lives of others.

He fought a young competitive boxer once and lost so awfully he never tried again. His career is entirely based on beating up geriatric boxers. He is not out there boxing sub 16 kids because they won’t let him. He would definitely punch kids in the face if allowed to.

It’s incredible how supporting Israel was about “securing an ally in the region to avoid another major armed conflict in the middle east”, and has now turned into Israel dragging the US into another major conflict in the middle east. It’s either US foreign policy officials didn’t learn anything from the past dozen conflicts or they literally want this to happen every time.

The insult is the implication. “I wouldn’t tell a backwoods country to be like us, [but we should]. So instead I will tell you that you are not like US [because I actually think that you are backwoods], and you should be like us to [so you aren’t like those backwoods countries anymore].”

The gall of saying, that entirely different culture that’s been around for longer than our country, they should have our same values, right after calling them backwoods countries. The extreme narcissist egoism is palpable and disgusting.

It was supposed to be a representation of a bacchanal or dionisya. There are dozens of paintings of those celebrations that look sorta like the last supper, if you squint very hard and turn off your brain.

Pure fear of admitting mistakes and being held accountable.
