It's come to a point in my life where I'm not able to believe anything people say until they can back it up with some solid, solid proof

I used to have some decent trust in people, even too much at some points, but that's been dashed.

congratulations, you're an adult now 😛

LOL true facts

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/political-correctness-free-speech-liberal-data-georgetown

vox: "there is not a free speech crisis because liberals are getting fired too and more often. Also the spike in speakers being uninvited doesn't count because half of the doubled numbers was Milo"

Wtf is this @Timcast https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/08/03/qanon-trump-rally-supporters-tuchman-dnt-ac-vpx.cnn

Ive never heard of q anon lol wtf is this . Im sooooo intrigued

Wouldnt the counter for the vox article to point out the desparity in conservative vs liberal professors

SHH

RACIST

@AnthonyLaCosaNostra it's 4chan being 4chan

@Blackhawk342 well and the fact that lib professors being fired for political speech IS STILL A FREE SPEECH PROBLEM

4chan is queer.... q.... anon.... i get it lol

Yeah imma pass on the q anon being a thing. I think its a clever troll

Its pretty queer tho. I love that the word queer came back. Since reading lotr as a kid ive always used it.

I like how in the article they equate disruption of free speech to free speech

Political Correctness shuts down normal left wing/"Liberal" political positions not just "Conservative"

I don't know much about qanon but if I wanted to know anything about it, it would be 'How did regular 4chan larp got so much attention ?'

its funny i pretty much dont even read or watch MSM anymore

To much bias bs

Yeah was gonna say as well @Lagomaster24 Evergreen was lefty vs lefty

yep

Oh do the Weinstein's have any books?

I got Pinker's book recently

and Zach Woods

Which one?

Enlightenment Now

havent started reading it yet

got Rules for Radicals too lol

Rules is kinda boring tbh

also I recommend "The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics" its a criticism of liberals banking on Identity Politics among other failings

Has a couple of excellent anecdotes though

yea i mostly got Rules for quick references if anything

Hadn't heard of that one, but my next political read will probably be either The Trial of Henry Kissinger or Liberal Fascism

Its by Mark Lilla

Its short so should not take much time

I listened to Zach's book shortly after he came on Tims podcast, and bought a physical recently

@Beemannoh shit I didn't know you were here too

aye
