Probably

Very interesting fields of education

2021-01-08 04:31:20 UTC  

Maybe even Zeducation covers it too?<:troll_face:726878856585281557>

omw, our school's friday "news-network" just did a whole stunt on the DC riots. They are actually supporting the police that were there (finally), but condemned them for not shooting rioters with rubber bullets and gas (which I think they actually did?) Then they showed BLM footage and said "police shot peaceful BLM protestors with rubber bullets. Again, PEACEFUL PRotesSterS!!" The girl reading the news also sounded like she was gonna cry, so that's cringe.

2021-01-08 13:39:19 UTC  

oh, ye, the BLM footage they showed litterally had an antifa guy chucking what looked like a bottle at police too. *fp*

2021-01-08 14:15:53 UTC  

kinda the same for me, im in a "contemporary issues" class and we just talked about the riots and almost everybody said all the protesters should have life in prison, theres only 2 sane people in that class including me, i supported the protests and my friend said that he didn't but there shouldn't be any punishments

2021-01-08 14:18:38 UTC  

fair enough. I think that anyone who vandalized property or caused bodily harm should probably be given a trial, but we can not forget the eight amendment. The punishment must be reasonable given the crime. I ofc, also did not support the riots, just the protest.

2021-01-08 14:23:18 UTC  

well the anger is that about 90% of the protests were peaceful, and there was some serious abuse/overuse of power

2021-01-08 14:28:50 UTC  

well, well. defund the police unless they are enforcing what we believe in

just to push back you on this, but if this was a conservative setting, maybe the reaction would be flipped (ie. the audience condemning police for excessive force on Trump supporters and cheer when BLM rioters got shot with rubber bullets)

2021-01-08 14:32:44 UTC  

mhm. ur def right.

2021-01-08 14:32:55 UTC  

people get so toxic over part lines

2021-01-08 14:33:32 UTC  

Let's keep this channel to academic talks. 🙂 The current conversation may be based on that, but just want to make sure.

2021-01-08 16:58:58 UTC  

@isoboto done with everything!

2021-01-08 16:59:29 UTC  

GOOD JOB 🥳

2021-01-08 16:59:37 UTC  

enjoy your friday!

2021-01-08 16:59:49 UTC  

Thanks you too iso!

2021-01-08 17:40:06 UTC  

alright, let me say something from liberals to y'all, defund the police is a terrible slogan, what we want is police reform, anyone who wants to abolish the police are considered dumb within our community

2021-01-08 18:13:51 UTC  

So, what do y'all know about the Spanish Inquisition?

2021-01-08 18:23:07 UTC  

Nobody ever expects it.

2021-01-08 18:23:39 UTC

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

2021-01-09 02:09:45 UTC

2021-01-09 02:10:00 UTC  

oof just trying to help

2021-01-09 02:10:15 UTC  

we'd like to keep this channel focus

2021-01-09 02:10:24 UTC  

appreciate it though

2021-01-09 02:10:28 UTC  

there will be boomers that will want to use parler, so in a way it's educational.

2021-01-09 02:10:57 UTC  

uh

2021-01-09 02:11:05 UTC  

no. this is usually school work stuff

2021-01-09 02:11:15 UTC  

would there be a more preferable channel for me to post it?

2021-01-09 02:11:58 UTC  

you can put them in <#720450552416305254> , <#730962644428914729> , <#797148988188786728> and/or <#797147888625909810>

2021-01-09 02:12:15 UTC

Hey guys, I have an essay due tonight. I am still working on the second half of it, but would anyone mind proof-reading my first two paragraphs? I am writing about the Texas revolution. Thanks for considering!

2021-01-09 04:20:03 UTC  

i can help you out 👀 i'm not good with the grammar part, tho, so you'll have to do that on your own or ask someone else

2021-01-09 04:20:48 UTC  

thanks bro, im more worried about the structure anyways :)

" In the early 1800s, the Mexican government refused to recognize the sovereignty of Texas as an independent colony by denying its citizens representation in government and increasingly extending its authority into the various provinces of Mexico. Additionally, Mexico began imprisoning Texans for political reasons, oftentimes delaying their trials or shipping them out of Texas for trial in a Mexican court. Furthermore, the Mexican military failed to respect the individual freedoms of its citizens by attempting to confiscate guns, shipping vessels, and land amongst other things. After failing to receive recognition for their grievances through the judicial and legislative system, Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1835. As a result, the Mexican army invaded in full force in an attempt to retake its lost state and were naturally met by the newly-formed Texan army. Desperate to defend their new-found freedom, every sacrifice and martyr in defense of Texas served to further the rebels resolve for victory.

After decades of increasing tyranny, the Council of the Provisional Government of Texas met on December Twelfth, 1835, to select delegates to represent each major city in the drafting of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Their initial intention was to leverage a threat of secession in hopes that the Mexican government would restore the Mexican Constitution of 1824. Instead, Mexico promptly responded by invading Texas in full force. On their path to crush the rebellion, the Mexican invasion force was delayed in San Antonio by some two-hundred Texan rebels fortified in the Alamo mission. From February twenty-third to March sixth of 1836, the defenders of the Alamo withstood a massive siege by some five-thousand Mexican troops. Meanwhile, the Delegates of the People of Texas officially convened in Washington, Texas on the first of March to unanimously declare the independence of the Republic of Texas. "

is there a thesis for the essay, or are you just recounting what happened?

2021-01-09 04:25:39 UTC  

Yes, sorry, ik its not super clear.

Our prompt is this: "Analyze and evaluate the impact of this example on society. (Does the example prove or disprove the stated theory? [nonconformity can lead to chaos and anarchy])"

My thesis is this: "Desperate to defend their new-found freedom, every sacrifice and martyr in defense of Texas served to further the rebels resolve for victory. "

My teacher said it answers the promt, but I feel its not a super clear transition. :/
