The evidence for claims against Kav was in Kav's favor.
But dont forget tim “give more credit to fords allegation”
Because she has “nothing to gain”
Exempt 500k+
No book deal or hbo show yet either
Like they gave that bitch who accused Clarence thomas
"exempt 500k+ and her party delaying the vote until after they might have more power"
@Timcast i feel like sometimes you are right on but damn when you miss you just turn around from the target and shot in the other direction
She didn't set the gofundme things up.
you cant claim ford is guna make moeny when other ppl set up gofundmes
zealotry is the most likely reason
but i think she is just confused
plain and simple
this whole Kav vs Ford thing is modern witch hunt... though maybe sorcerer hunt would be more appropriate name.
"Warlock Hunt"
@grant I was referring to people's dismissal of her as a liar. I didn't mean her claims = proof.
I think we can't assume more without evidence.
I think we cant assume anything without evidence
Unfortunately some people can
"I don't think the significant increase in divide between Americans started with Trump's election." Change my mind.
I honestly don't think the recent SIGNIFICANT DIVIDE started with Trump's election. While Trump certainly isn't helping the divide, I believe he is merely a symptom of the problem and not the cause. I believe the Left itself has changed & this change is connected to the media. The divide became noticeably bad around 2010s with the rise of Alt-media, like Buzzfeed, that pushed a different kind of liberalism. Anyone who lives in Southern California, where all this Alt-media resides, knows they hold a different kind of liberalism when compared to the old-school liberalism that used to reside in places, like New York, where the old media used to reside. You can see it in the Identity Politics that are being pushed by these Alt-media companies. It's a more revolutionary liberalism where you see yourself "fighting oppression" rather than lifting others up by reaching out with a compassionate hand. Now don't get me wrong, each side has been drifting away from the center thus contributing to the problem but I think the Leftwing overall bears a lot more responsibility for the divide than they're willing to admit...at least currently.
Again, Trump is not helping the situation & I wish he would stop being such an @sshole sometimes but I can't ignore the division the Left's identity politics have caused, unlike so many people in the mainstream media do. It's quite clear the Left is lurching closer & closer to the extreme as shown by PEW Research, who is extremely trustworthy btw. You can also see this with the rise of DSA, who literally chant "No borders, No walls, No USA at all." There is even a growing distain for having simple conversations on the Left even with people who are moderate. I myself hold liberal views (Ex. Pro-choice, Pro-LGBT, Pro-weed, Pro-social programs) as well as a few Conservative viewpoints (Ex. Pro-gun) but I can't even have a conversation with most members of the modern left anymore. It's scary. I didn't even vote for Trump and I don't think I will but to them I'm somehow still a far-right Nazi. Basically what I'm saying is I think the significant rise in division is coming from the fact Left's new ideological base resides in California, which has a radical different set of principles, than that of the old school, working class Left that dominated New York.
I personally put the entire blame on the schools and academic left.
In degrees like sociology, there's actually more radicals than moderates of any stripe.
And they've been crossing fields to write the textbooks.
And fund the museums.
And define the curricula.
All of this, the race-and-sex-centrism, the "anyone not with us is the right," the need to rabid direct activism anywhere and everywhere possible was foreshadowed in the academies since the 90s.
And they've raised a generation to think like them.
The rise of the new left alt-media is a strong driver, but it's water on a seed.
I wouldn't put all the blame on the Left but I can't ignore what I've seen coming from the Left. The things I've seen are quite disconcerting.
It's extremely concerning.
I've been in a very left-wing place (academia).
What people are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Kavanaugh circus is far fairer than a Title IX investigation.
I've seen people submit evidence for Title IX courts (hard, solid alibis--not merely hearsay) and get it not only rejected but then lose jobs.
Because it contradicted the woman.
People don't realize where this is all headed.
It's really not a working class left either.
