And if people want to believe that thousands of unarmed black men are shot by police every year, they can just watch CNN, MSNBC, NBC, or ABC, or read the NYT, WaPo, Atlantic, Slate, etc
@salltweets
I was called transphobic like 2 weeks ago for saying males shouldn't compete in female sports. I literally just shrugged, like "🤷okay?" Apparently, they were expecting it to be some epic dunk and then they were confused that I just didn't care, didn't try to backtrack. Just "k"
@mtaibbi
This happens with every moral panic and every cultural revolution. At least he has the balls to admit he was part of the problem, most people will ignore or downplay. At least on the internet, the screenshots are out there and will be forever
@ChrisPalmerNBA
@AssignedMale
This isn't actually true, though. It's 98% of those that have been surveyed, and the surveying was done through those that are still in contact with gender transition providers.
So it's like asking people who are in the theater at the end of Dune if they bought tickets to Dune.
@jessesingal
I love how the resignation letter calls the interview boring. Very clearly they didn't think it was boring, it caused them to all quit their jobs lol

@VonkLevi
"history will confirm" is just religion for lefties.
Instead of saying someone is going to heaven or hell in the afterlife, you just say that children in 100 years will learn you're either a good person or bad person.
It's the same shit and adults don't care about either

Blocking traffic is actually illegal lol
You can't just do something illegal, say it's a protest, and think that's like some magic wand you can wave to make illegal actions suddenly legal
@oneunderscore__
It just showed that Twitter was ideologically captured. Like you, Ben. Did you ever issue a correction about Fox News inciting violence or nah?
@peterboghossian
Don't they call half as obvious threats "stochastic terrorism"? In fact, if calling trans people groomers is stochastic terrorism, what is calling conservatives "Nazis" and "fascists"?
This question never seems to be asked. I'd like to hear an answer some day.

There's a difference between best player to wear a specific uniform and the best specific uniform wearers. Robert Parish wore a Bulls uniform, and is a top 75 NBA player...but probably not a top 75 Bull. That said, LeBron should be there just for the ring.
@thedimreaper1
@Skelly4Liberty
@SxLongshadow
You said protesting, but we're talking about blocking traffic. Which is illegal.
So you want to break the law and have no ramifications when it suits your purposes, but if someone responds by removing you from the road, then you become a fan of prosecuting them legally?
Amazing
@VaushV
Anyone who praises Mao or Stalin probably wasn't paved with progressive friendships, progressive applause, or progressive approval.
Of course not. Who would think such a thing?
@reddit_lies
Almost 20,000 complete dorks were like "yeah blue tribe good!" and upvoted it.
But that describes the front page of reddit every day anyway

@KirstieMAllsopp
It is beyond bizarre that I saw you asking her this literally 6 hours ago and you're STILL asking her now. Why is she still posting if she can't answer a simple question? It's just weird
@ContrarianSaver
@SwannMarcus89
Seems pretty standard. I think the issue might be that lefties on twitter are VERY left, and VERY loud. Not really representative of normal people.
@TomsAlmeidaOli1
@LeftismForU
They'll say it's not an organization with a CEO and such. The proper response, then, is to point out that pro lifers also don't exist.

@whstancil
He literally cannot. I have no idea what his electoral situation looks like, but if he engaged with you it would absolutely force him into several situations where whatever he said would hurt him in downtown Minneapolis.

@GorinMoti
And people were suspended from supposedly the most important journalism server on Mastodon for mentioning that it was a well researched piece 🤔
@Noahpinion
Hoffer wrote in True Believer that fascists & communists in the 20s-30s poached each others adherents often, because it was easier than converting moderates/liberals
These people just want something to believe, a club (or cult) to join. I'm not religious but they prob should be

@nycpix
Bail reform leads to shit like this. Either you're okay with it or you're not, but what you can't do is pretend events like this are unconnected to it.
@suzannevierling
Everyone just uses pronouns to be nice. No one thinks they're ACTUALLY whatever sex they say they are, and no one cares about gender at all. This enrages them, but oh well
@ElevenGrover
@mtaibbi
Free speech is considered right wing lately and it's just so weird. I've been an overwhelming Democrat since my first election, in 2000. My stances haven't changed or "evolved". Increasingly, though, Democrats don't seem to share them.
@reddit_lies
Reddit is far to the left of your average Democratic voter and it's hilarious watching them sperg out about how everyone and everything is secretly "conservative". Yeah, that's what happens when the biggest subs are left of AOC
@reddit_lies
Brigading is EXTREMELY BAD when anyone right of AOC does it. It's great when regular redditors do it, though. Especially when /r/subredditdrama does it
@Marqrk1

White people are bad = good, critical theory affirming
Black people commit more crime per capita = bad, racist, must ban
@katielikeskitty
@MalesOfReddit
That's what the funniest thing to me is. They delete anything that goes against their religion, to create the illusion of concensus. You do that over the course of years, you end up thinking anyone that disagrees with you is a racist fascist nazi and are very confused about life
@calenciii
@NBAMemes
I mean yeah, but it would be more mind blowing if you said steph curry, he'd be like "no fucking way, that dude has ankles of glass"
@roll_dot_EXE
@reddit_lies
This is actually true lol
Reddit is 75% progressive, 20% liberal, and 5% conservative. So any conservative disrupts the comments

I know you're not responding to me, but this is my point. It's Robert Horry a better NBA player than LeBron? Fuck no. Is he a better Laker? Yeah, probably

"I know you think it's only going to hurt people you don't like, but all of human history says it's eventually going to hurt you too, so- ah shit, see? That's what I was trying to tell you"
@EAlluia
@whstancil
Huh?
I'm sorry that most people don't think males can be women. It's not at all a "far right" or "alt right" view. It's literally a sizable majority lmao
I'm literally a DNC donor and agree with them 🤯
@bburr86
@michelletandler
I'm not sure. They didn't fire him- they just didn't extend his contract. A subtle point, but a very important one, legally. But it's fascinating that they concede not only that he AT LEAST did a DECENT job, but also that they're doing it solely because of his demographic
@Marqrk1
@RealReyRex
@iamtomnash
I'm amazed at what goes on in your head. You created an entire argument in your mind, then debunked it expertly, that's VERY impressive.
