Conservapedia #homophobia #dunning-kruger

Ok, let’s make this perfectly clear:
The nazis thought of homosexuality as a disease (though not entirely in a medical sense). They believed the old myth of homosexuals spreading by “recruiting young people” aka via molestation. They also thought of homosexuals as “Volksverräter” because they didn’t do their duties to pump as many babies into german mothers as possible to be (mis)used in the giant war machine of Nazi Germany.
No, homosexuals were not targeted for extermination per se like Jews were, but that doesn’t mean that they weren’t killed, maimed, experimented on, mistreated and tortured. Yes, most homosexuals persecuted by the Nazis (which DID go into the hundred thousand people range) went to regular prisons, but 60 percent of them died there for reasons unknown (I wonder…) and 5000 to 6000 people were still sent to concentration camps.
What you also neglect to mention is the horrific and torturous experiments done to them: People were castrated, forced into extremely hot and cold environments, implanted with hormonal glands and then left to die when these were rejected etc. to find out how to “cure” homosexual behavior (and yes, the Nazis also believed that homosexuality was caused by a lack of “masculinity” and potentially testosterone that was apparently “feminizing” people, just like many on the right still want to believe today without any evidence). And finally, how callous of you to simply brush aside 2500 deaths as “accidental” (stretching the definition of that word to its breaking point, aren’t we?). It doesn’t matter whether 10, 100, 1000 or a million people die for unjust reasons, it is still a fucking tragedy and you an apologetic, revisionist scumbag who DARES to then imply that we are insane for pointing it out? Fuck you oh so very much, you despicable asshole!

Mike King #dunning-kruger

So Mike, can you explain to me what Einstein’s and Hawking’s main theories even say? Can you explain why the orbit of Mercury is more accurately predicted by general relativity than with classical mechanic? Why GPS and older TVs had to be specifically modelled around an “imaginary theory” if it has no basis in reality? How we could possibly discover black holes and take photographs of them if they don’t exist? I bet you have more evident-based explanations for stellar life cycles, gravitational waves and gravity lensing? Do you know what Hawking radiation is? Do you even know the absolute basics of either relativity or quantum mechanics? No to all of these? Then why the fuck do you think you have any ground to stand on here?

I really am losing my patience with science deniers and anti-intellectuals. Oh and with antisemites too. Just fuck off Mike.

BettERtoreigninhell #psycho #sexist

Oh Incels, your inability to simply come to the most obvious conclusions is always baffling me.
“I acted like a true psychopath, just as alpha as we always imagined, yet for some reason it didn’t cause all the women in there to sleep with me! Maybe it’s because the whole alpha macho dominance crap that we always say is the only personality women find attractive is total bullshit? Nah, must be because my cheekbones are not high enough. Or my jaw isn’t broad enough. If I looked like a fitness model, THEN they would have come to me, the unhinged looking asshole and asked me to fuck them while I am still questioned by the cops! Because that’s of course a much more logical conclusion than that our insane worldview might be wrong!”

Napoleon de Geso #psycho #sexist #wingnut

The incels are really simping for Putin apparently. What Tinder has to do with Lithunia allegedly being a US puppet, and what that in turn has to do with Ukraine is anyone’s guess. But the violent misogyny is of course still obvious. They truly are disturbed.

StephaneFrechette #pratt #moonbat

Someone has fallen for russian desinformation hook, line and sinker. The Euromaidan movement was very much one created by the people of Ukraine because they were FOR associating with the EU, but the government of the time was pretty much giving in to Russia’s demands to stop the process, which obviously angered a lot of people. The US had almost nothing to do with it. In fact strangely enough the then president of Ukraine fled to Russia… what a coincidence.
The russian speaking minority were then fed misinformation by Russia to stoke them against the Euromaidan movement, causing the crisis of 2014, which in turn ultimately led to this current war. By the way, newsflash, all countries are “artificial”. Ukrainians chose their independence after the Cold War in a fair way, even giving Russia their nuclear arsenal back to ensure their independence. It was Putin who unilaterally broke every single promise Russia made to them.
Yes, Ukraine has had problems with right-wing corruption under their last president, that’s why they voted for their current one, who actually did a decent job to get the country back on track. A clear danger for Putin, because now his pathetic war excuse of ridding the Ukraine of Nazis and corruption rings more than a little hollow.
Also, there is no “Russian DNA”. Therefore that alleged bioweapon is impossible, therefore it doesn’t exist.

Nigerian vigilantes #magick

Yeah, because that makes much more sense than these vigilantes lying to cover up the fact that the robbers escaped them. Or to make it look more exciting than it actually was.

The police spokesman sounds a bit like he doesn’t believe the story for a second either, but good luck trying to use science to prove that something supernatural didn’t happen. Will it suffice when they find only a normal goat genome inside it? I doubt it.

femlez34 #transphobia

… she says, but provides no studies that actually prove her point. Or actually say that the brain of a transwoman hasn’t developed more along the opposite sex route than the body. Because there aren’t any. Instead she is blabbering about anecdotal evidence (and let’s be honest, slander) from other transphobes, and then has the balls to say that everyone who trusts the actual scientific literature on the subject (which indeed points to transpeople having brain structures either dissimilar from both cis-sexes or developed along the opposite lines to their bodies) is actually naive. Yeah sure. Can’t be that biology might be way more complicated than the alleged divide between male and female. There is no essential female trait or essential male trait, so you not believing a transperson has a “girl brain” (not a thing by the way) because they don’t fit your idea of “femininity” is asinine. Fuck, TERFs make it sound like men and women are not even of the same species.

By the way, “newer” research into genomic evolution indicates that intersex and transpeople might be the result of an overly complex sex determination system that evolved via intergenomic conflict between X and Y chromosomes. This system is error-prone and involves way more than just the original sex chromosomes, so a large variety of sex expression in different individuals and even tissues is actually what we would expect to find. You are the ones denying reality here.

Oh and the reason why transpeople are more often criminal is the same as the reason for why homosexuals are: Because they often are kicked out of their family homes, have to abort school, and are discriminated in the workplace. And just like homophobes using these consequences of their discrimination against us, you are now trying the same with transpeople. Fucking disgusting!

actualdyke & butchplease #transphobia #conspiracy

Fuck you all, I don’t even care about working through all this conspiracy nonsense and the frankly disgusting way with which the OPs try to slander transpeople (especially transwomen as always). You are forgetting your own history again, one of the groups most active in the Stonewall riots were transwomen of color who allied with black lesbians and this arguably started the modern LGBT movement as we know it. I am a cis white gay man and I only have deep reverence for these strong women of color which enabled all of us to finally start being recognized and accepted by society. You on the other hand seem to have waited until you yourself as lesbians (which I assume you are from the original OP post) were accepted and now you are throwing your trans allies to the wolves because of your own misandry and hatred for them. As I said, disgusting.
Those who forget their history are bound to repeat it. Our rights are not written in stone, half the world if not more is still of the opinion that we shouldn’t have them. Hell, you TERFs are allying with the fucking alt-right just because they share your transphobia! You know, the people who would love to do nothing more than to strip you of your rights, forcibly marry you to a man and then make you into obedient housewives pumping out babies.
You really don’t get it, do you? Trans-rights are not something to take away YOUR rights, they are very much connected to all LGBT rights. If they fail, we won’t be able to defend our own either if push comes to shove. I just hope you realize that before it is too late. I doubt it.

THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. #transphobia

@ryu238 #116330

Cherry-picking of data and correlation equals causation fallacies. They love using those to put minorities down.
Blacks being disproportionally often sentenced to prison in comparison with other “races”? Must be their inherent genetic “worthlessness and low intelligence” causing them to commit more crime, instead of racism-caused profiling and deliberate racist laws targeting them specifically.
LGBT people having high suicide rates? Must be because their “lifestyle” is inherently bad for their mental health, not because they are discriminated against by society.
Transpeople being disproportionally present in liberal states? Must be because it is an evil fad the leftists caused to hide the biological fact of sex (and gender, which they equate with each other) being binary, instead of because they face discrimination everywhere else and therefore move to liberal states.

It’s always the same spiel.

יְחֶזְקֵאל #homophobia #psycho

So you are a freaking cowardly loser who derives his satisfaction from imagining the eternal torture of other people in the afterlife while smiling and acting like you support them. Lying and worse, obvious pride, the worst sin of them all. I fear you will enjoy the fires of hell just as much as we “retarded queers”. Not that hell actually exists. Either way, you are wrong. “Being traditional” by the way is a void argument for being against us. Traditions change and the hate against homosexuality is probably not older than the development of farming. And Homosexuality IS natural, no matter what you want to believe.

Owlchaser #transphobia

Fuck, what a hateful and non-sequitor filled response. No, transwomen are not “men”, they are not voyeuristic (what do these people even think happens in toilets?), these surgeries are not necessarily what they were talking about (and they are not “unnecessary”), people killing, raping and abusing transpeople is not “men killing each other” and you conflating that makes you sound misandrist as fuck, and what the hell “leave us alone” has to do with “shut up and get back in the kitchen” is anyone’s guess. Probably made sense only in the twisted minds of TERFs. You are oh so oppressed by the sheer existence of transwomen (transmen are once again excluded) that you corrupt your own perception of reality until it barely resembles what the rest of us observe.

essokam #pratt #racist

Moving the goalpost in a single discussion, wow! It’s not the fault of your discussion partner when you say crazy stuff like “They are arrested because they commit nearly all crimes in the US” which is simply untrue. Backpaddeling with a weak “oh but this happens to white people too” is not covering up your intellectual bankruptcy.

Human dignity is universal and NOT something that should be based on value for what should be obvious reasons. We are fortunate to not live in a meritocracy, otherwise you OP might be surprised about how little value such a society would see in you. It’s tiresome that racists always come back to the old “minorities = criminals” which they simply expect others to agree on, it’s the same argumentative laziness that homophobes employ when they say that “homosexuals = pedophiles”. We know better.

Robert Oscar Lopez #homophobia

No. Simply no.

“Many people who were formerly in the gay lifestyle and then came out could attest to the fact that gay relationships, no matter how much we wish to respect them, differ substantially from a heterosexual bond and will never be able to replace male-female unions.”

So first of all, no one “comes out” of a gay “lifestyle” because there is no such thing. Being gay is not a choice. You are obviously talking about self-hating gay people who are telling everyone who will listen how much they love the opposite sex now after their conversion therapy or whatever, until they finally break and or are caught in the act with some same sex escort.
Secondly, I have friends. I have had relationships. Both with people of the same sex. And believe me, it is not the same. For the same reason it isn’t in heterosexual relationships by the way. Contrary to homophobic opinion we do love each other just as much as hetero couples. And even if it were just lust, I usually don’t have sex with my friends. So either way, there are stark differences. Additionally I feel fully satisfied with a homosexual relationship, and feel nothing beyond the platonic for women.

Now to the whole “marriage is only any relationship that creates children”. Tough luck, that would exclude everyone who doesn’t want to have children or CAN’T have children too, no matter whether they are heterosexual. Marriage should not be about children anyway, but about taking responsibility for each other to a degree that it is recognized by the state.

“Through sophistry, the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment meant that same-sex couples had equal rights to children but that the children obtained in fulfillment of this right did not have equal rights to a mother and father.”

There is no “right” to a mother and father for children. What, you want single-mothers forcibly married to guys by the state? Will you force heterosexual couples to adopt? No, the only reason you are saying this is to exclude homosexual couples. Study upon study has shown that children adopted (or born to through insemination or surrogacy) by homosexuals are not worse off at all. Your arguments fail hard and that’s why you lost the battle fortunately. Hopefully it will remain this way.

Robert Stacy McCain #homophobia

Homosexuals reporting that they felt different from the other children from early on? Why,that can’t possibly be because they were already homosexual back then. Because as we all know, homosexuality has to be a disease to be removed and or treated, or the OP’s homophobic worldview has to change. So it must have been because of missing father figures. Or smothering mothers. Or sexual abuse. Or psychopathy caused by isolation. Or “recruitment” by other gay people. Or lack of masculine ideals in society. Or weak character. Or male Electra complex. Or…
Let’s willfully ignore the fact that we already found parts of the genetic foundations of homosexuality. Let’s forget about the fact that conversion therapy has NEVER caused a homosexual to become heterosexual. The important thing is that gay men are wrong somehow, and have no place in our society. Oh and of course they are all pedophiles so anyone thinking differently is enabling child sexual abuse.
Lesbians? Never heard of them. Probably just women who want to excite straight men with the titillating prospect of a man focused threesome (and yes, there have been pseudostudies claiming that).

Fuck you OP! And I say that from the bottom of my heart and as a gay man. You and your ilk are homophobic, pseudoscientific scum.

John Derbyshire #racist

Excuse me? WE are suddenly the skin color-fixated ones? By stating that skin color ISN’T important? What kind of crazy mental gymnastics are those? Skin color has been THE essential racial categorization since racism was invented, hell, you yourself are using terms like “anti-white” so your fucking hypocrisy is showing! I don’t even know what to say to this insanity!

Oh and as a genomicist, let me tell you once again that there is no single allele that only exists in one “group” of humanity and not in any other. The concept of biological human races or subspecies is done for. Finished. Nothing points in its direction. And even if we would accept genotype classifications as equivalent to race (which they are not), then we would have one “race” everywhere BUT in Africa, where we would have about 50ish. I have never seen any “race realist” using that kind of classification system. Your goalpost moving will get you nowhere.

“By analyzing the entire genome you can predict a person's self-reported race with north of 99 percent accuracy — way better than you'd get from just looking at them.”

So… you are predicting their self-reported race… something that has exactly nothing to do with the genome or biological race concepts. This would prove nothing but that the test would look specifically for single traits like skin tone, which (if it hasn’t been pointed out enough already) HAS BEEN THE BASIS OF RACISM SINCE IT WAS INVENTED. Since “race” nowadays is still based on it, no matter what kind of pseudoscience you spout out to hide that fact, you will obviously get the results you wanted, the bias is ingrained in such a test.

The Cheddar Man had black skin tone, and we all come from Africa, and skin tone doesn’t matter and genomics prove that racism is bullshit, and no amount of racialist whining will change any of that.

hmimperialtortie , SulphuricMirror & haruspex #transphobia #pratt

Ok, it started with “being a woman trapped in a man’s body” being equated to “perverted man fetishising the female body by trying to have it himself” without further evidence for that disgusting theory. Now it is already “Transwoman trying to pass by wearing specific clothes are PEDOS because they are allegedly girl clothes and (with no evidence whatsoever) we presume they are turned on by that”. What’s next? “Men having long hair are definitely pedophilic rapist misogynists because that’s only for girls!”? TERFs are getting more and more ridiculous by the second.

You know what might be fun? A sort of scale for “confused, irrational, hypocritical, hysterical worldview without evidence”. I think Incels and Flat-Earthers might be pretty high up on it, but TERFs certainly do their best to reach for the top.

Brett Stevens #elitist #wingnut

Oh dear, this is fucking hilarious from the point of view of an evolutionary biologist! First of all, “weak” and “strong” and “powerful” are fucking dumb descriptors for evolutionary adaptability. There are no “natural hierarchies” and the “best” (using your definition) don’t usually come out on top of that anyway. You know what the most successful lifeforms are on this planet? Bacteria. You know what the most successful strategy of life is on this planet? Parasites. Cheaters often prosper in highly competitive environments, who knew? So no, your whole idea of “how nature works” is fucking wrong and misguided.

May I also add that dinosaurs didn’t vanish (entirely), that a hierarchy “comparing all to all” would be a clusterfuck of epic proportions and doesn’t happen in nature at all, that sodomizing (aka dominating and culling as far as I get your point) isn’t what is usually happening in nature, that many evolutionary systems are random, that evolution happens on different levels and not as an invisible “global” force… I could go on and on. Social darwinism is not only a natural fallacy, it can’t even depict nature right.

Steve Sailer #pratt #racist

Well, you missed a detail: The problem is that UC Berkeley doesn’t provide enough dorms. NOT the increase in enrollment per se. The uni fails to take responsibility for the additional students, leaving them homeless and raising rents for its own benefit. So if your hackneyed comparison would hold any water (it doesn’t), then the federal government should take responsibility for its immigrants, providing social housing instead of leaving them to their own devices like the GOP tends to prefer.

Chadwick Moore #wingnut

Ah, nothing tells me a person is an asshole more than them stating that their own personal preferences are “hardwired” aka biologically determined all across the human species and therefore everyone who doesn’t have them is deluded. You can’t be much more egocentric than that.

During the neolithic era fat women were associated with fertility and praised, so that already puts your pet theory down.
Being fat is unhealthy, I agree, but what does it help to make people feel bad about it? That only feeds your own superiority complex, while it probably makes it even harder for them to lose weight or feel good either way. There are also multiple reasons for gaining fat that have nothing to do with simply living irrationally unhealthy. That’s how I understood body positivity: To feel good in the moment, to not let other people bring you down just because of your body. Certainly more helpful than calling them names or insulting them.

P.S.: I have known quite a few smokers and alcohol drinkers who have become extremely defensive just because I stated that I do neither.

Mike King #dunning-kruger

No practical application? How about enabling not only GPS at all, but also:

- Explaining how generators work at all (no fixed point of reference means that it is unimportant whether the magnet or lets say a wire moves, either causes a current in conjunction with each other), as well as how some electromagnets work (fascinatingly, a wire with a DC current will repel or attract one without any current because of relativistic effects, specifically again because of the fact that no fixed points of reference exist as well as length contraction). Surely knowledge of our preferred form of energy transportation and generation counts as practical application?
- Older TVs using cathode ray tubes had to account for relativistic effects as well since they fire electrons at about 30 percent the speed of light at the screen, making time dilation a noticeable factor. Magnets had to be specifically designed to compensate for that.
- Many properties of heavier metals are caused by relativistic effects, like the non-reactivity and color of gold (caused by significant mass increase and length contraction of the electrons inside it).
- Gravity lensing, black holes and gravity waves would be entirely unexplainable if not even unknown to us, severely limiting our understanding of space.

And I don’t even want to start with the other potential and actual applications for space exploration.

Also WTF are you talking about? At least Tesla and to a somewhat lesser degree Von Braun and Roentgen are definitely known in popular culture (perhaps the latter not as much since the english speaking countries still use “X-rays” as a name for that particular radiation instead of Roentgen-rays like they are here in Germany for example).

Pat Condell #transphobia #wingnut #pratt

Classy. Now women and men are apparently as different as not even closely related species! Fuck, what kind of an idea of humanity (and biology) do these assholes have?

Controversial opinion here, but fuck the women/men divides in sports, especially when it is used to exclude transpeople. Michael Phelps recently said that he felt transwomen would benefit too much from their higher testosterone levels to compete with other women, a common argument that makes it seem like testosterone is some kind of magical potion stemming from a small village in Gaul.
No comments about his own “unfair” advantages, his huge feet, his perfect for swimming body frame, his really long arms… that’s all fine and dandy apparently to compete against other, less advantaged men. That’s “talent”. But now with transwomen it’s suddenly a huge problem. How about instead of using sex as a seperator (or worse, testosterone level) in sports we use weight or other biological classes which could actually level the playing field a bit?

And transpeople are still not mentally ill OP, just like homosexuals are not, nor are slaves running from their “masters” or women who allegedly suffer from “hysteria”. Pathologization has been a tool of oppressors for a long time, do you really believe no one is finally realizing that? Piss off!

UMadDoggieNextStopNY #psycho #sexist

Toxic garbage, if everyone would follow that advice, healthy relationships would be a thing of the past in no time. Reads like someone actively working towards that goal rather than helping out with relationship advice!

Sue Wom #fundie #conspiracy

The goal is to find out more about the basic structures of our universe asshole, not to ‘prove that God doesn’t exist’, which is not something we scientists have any interest in doing. You don’t seem to understand how science works at all.

Socrates #crackpot #racist #wingnut

@Thraxas #112303

Agreed. Right-wing people seem to be most happy when everyone not like them is unhappy and below them, and therefore they rage and cry about the slightest changes that might make it otherwise. Whiny entitlement, shrieking hypocrisy, that’s what I usually hear from the right.

Steve Sailer #transphobia

Wow, throwing together and confusing drag queens and cross dressers with transpeople is disingenuous as hell. These are NOT the same things at all. There might be a fetish of autogynephilia in the form of men being sexually aroused by dressing and acting as women (I guess). And you know, just like any other fetish that is consensual and doesn’t hurt anyone that is absolutely fine. It is NOT some sort of attack on women, just like a fetish for muscles is not an attack on bodybuilders. You know what it also isn’t? The goddamn same thing as being trans! Someone with a fetish isn’t mentally ill (and neither are transpeople), and they wouldn’t usually start changing their entire personality outside of the bedroom around it. More importantly, autogynephiliacs are not turned on by the fact that they actually want to be woman and they certainly wouldn’t have reason to identify as such. This borders on blood libel both for people who actually have this fetish AND transpeople, because for me it seems obvious what the goal of this is: describing both as some form of sexual assault by mentally unhinged people on women. Which is freaking disgustimg. And of course transmen (once again ignored by the OP, sadly not by TERFs in general) are not fetishists but ‘poor mislead girls who were talked into wanting to escape womenhood’, because just like homophobes ignoring lesbians since they don’t neatly fit into the ‘disease spreading, anal sex focussed homosexual’stereotype, this is all about sexualizing the issue and dragging identities down to alleged perversions, specifically misandrist views of men being basically rape machines who can’t keep themselves under control and are always this close to abusing women (with transpeople being one way to achieve that according to the TERFs). Sex negativity, misandry, libel. No wonder that the homophobic right works so well with them. They are all a bunch of lying assholes.

heteroseparatist #homophobia #transphobia

Fuck you and your blood libel. I am not interested in “turning” anyone. I am not interested in people too young to give informed consent and also not in molesting anyone. Spacey might be an asshole, a molester and gay, but this means nothing when it comes to other gay men. The only thing we want is that our identity is recognized by society, that we can love each other openly. Every group has its black sheep. You for example are obviously one for all of humanity.

Napoleon de Geso #sexist #crackpot

Ok, Incels aren’t even subtle anymore about the fact that they hate women for not having sex with less attractive men (allegedly) but demand that they only get laid by super-models. They just say it. At this point their self-contradicting worldview should hopefully soon collapse into some kind of singularity of nonsense which swallows them all up and leaves everyone else alive, sighing in massive relieve.

Various commenters #transphobia

Love it when childish, immature people call others childish and immature for not agreeing with them.

Robert Stacy McCain #homophobia

You are scum OP, plain and simple. It used to be that no one talked about sexuality or gender because it was simply presumed that everyone was cis and heterosexual, and any exception to this was met with severe social punishments and restrictions. Just like you, people tried and still try to talk us LGBT+ down by equating homosexuality and trans-identities with “fetishes” and pure “carnal desires” or even with “mental problems/illnesses”. You are not even acknowledging that we legitimately love people and have identities you don’t approve of and then you have the GUTS to cry about your alleged religious persecution?
And you wonder why we fight tooth and nail against people like you?

And the fat-shaming on top of that is the shitty icing on the cake. Ultimately you want us to go back to having to hide our identities and for everyone to accept your worldview a correct. Tough break buddy, we will definitely not let you do that without a fight. You are not a victim. You are a perpetrator.

pferdchenpojuzt #psycho #sexist

How evil would it be to connect anyone believing in this with Incels? Just to see whether they actually fall for it, after all the time delusionally claiming that all women are like this?

On the other hand, this also sounds like a disaster just waiting to happen. Especially if they combine forces *shudder*. Best not to risk it.

Jacob Fraden #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

I find it particularly funny that he thinks highly advanced aliens would immediately put the same emphasis on skin color that he does. He seriously seems to think that skin color is the be all end all trait with which to discern between human beings. Pretty sure aliens visiting Earth would just as much divide us by hair color than by skin color, namely not at all. These are highly superficial traits, and non-indicative of pretty much anything else, so they would definitely not use them as classifications. But what do I know. Perhaps the visiting aliens are stupid as fuck and discovered FTL drives by coincidence. In that case the OP might have a point.

Frank Schlernitzaver #fundie #crackpot #dunning-kruger

You know, the sea floor comes about through seismic processes caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move away from each other (say for example the Americas from the Eurasian-Africa system), they create divergent boundaries which result in volcanic ridges, which in turn slowly but surely create an oceanic lithosphere (which is the case for example in the Atlantic). Once the opposite happens and an ocean plate lies between two converging tectonic plates, it subducts under them because of its usually higher density. Slowly vanishing into the Earth’s mantle (which if I remember correctly is the case for the Pacific). The thing is that while yes, most matter on Earth (with the exception of meteorites, cosmic dust etc.) is the same age, its isotopic ratios (for example Uranium and lead) are not this uniform. Since Uranium decays into lead with a half-life of about 4.6 billion years, and rock, once crystallized and cooled doesn’t change its composition anymore, we can tell when it formed into solid rock by using these ratios. Nothing points to an alleged catastrophic worldwide flood event.

Oh and what has this to do with evolution? This is more about the deep time concept, which is necessary for evolution, yes, but in fact it is also necessary to explain a whole bunch of other observations which would make no sense otherwise. Young Earth creationists like you are therefore fully anti-science, and don’t pretend otherwise.

Robert Stacy McCain #transphobia #homophobia

I knew with around 13-14 that something about me was different from the other male pupils in my class, but because of my pretty sheltered upbringing I didn’t even know homosexuality existed, so I couldn’t put it into words even for myself, causing severe cognitive dissonance, and almost led me to become homophobic and depressed because I couldn’t be ’normal’ as everyone around me. I had never been exposed to any information about homosexuality before I was 16, and I was still gay. It is not a trend, it is not confusion. And you and your ilk constantly pretending it is will only lead to more suffering.

Robert Stacy McCain #homophobia

What is even your point here? That it is totally fine to use homo as an insult? That only we evil liberals thought that it was somehow bad? You are fucking deluded. Why is homo even an insult when it is NOT about homosexuals being seen as lesser? Makes no sense. But sure, try to deflect as much as you like, you are fooling no one.

I remember that I was a bit fascinated by ‘adult’ insults as a kid, but never used them in any capacity and felt uncomfortable with the other pupils constantly using them. Even on a relatively prestigious high school in Germany the children around me called each other ‘Schwuchtel’ (homo), ‘Jude’ (Jew) and even the N-word. Of course they didn’t really think much about the deeper meaning then, but it still felt wrong to me. Perhaps it was because I was bullied early and strongly, so I became more sensitive to these insults, I don’t know. The point is that as always, if you never are on the receiving end of it, or never feel the problems that come with it, you can easily say such things like ‘Oh it’s not REALLY an insult against homosexuals/jews/black people used this way, and therefore is absolutely ok’. Believe me. It’s not.

Matt Walsh #fundie #transphobia

I can’t stand it anymore with all the transphobes saying that science and biology are somehow on their side. No they are almost definitely not. You choose to ignore all the research that went into the complicated spectrum that is gender and sex (yes even biological sex is much more complicated than a simple binary system and even gender can have a biological component) and then have the balls to state that you are the rational ones? Many of you don’t even believe in evolution but now biology is good enough ONCE AGAIN to hate on people, so it is fine as long as it (allegedly) supports your worldview? Fuck off! And don’t play the victim here if all you can do is fire strawmen at everyone who criticizes you!

SulphuricMirror #homophobia #sexist #transphobia

Fully agreeing with shy here. I feel like the LGBT+ community is currently being undermined by a lot of gatekeepers, people with ulterior motives, superficial and wrongheaded ideas of what is “acceptable” and “good” being enforced and overall many people sadly coming to the conclusion that since they now don’t immediately face persecution anymore themselves, that means the goal has been reached and any further fight for equal rights is neither necessary nor wanted. And then there are those that immediately after jump to the other side of the fence and start persecuting others, pretty much the worst of the bunch. And you, OP, somehow fit into all those camps at once, while still feeling and posing like the victim.
You pretty much stating that I am no better than an MRA or incel just for being a freaking man is frankly revolting and sexist to the highest degree. I want equal rights for all of us, and I want all of us to be recognized as individuals who have a right to express their identities without discrimination, no matter whether some of us are trans, lesbians, nonbinary, cis and heterosexual … only if we ever achieve that goal and finally get our shit together and work together will we be free.
Vilifying your natural closest allies for NOT discriminating against transpeople will only achieve one goal: That the various anti-LGBT+ groups and ideologies around the world will win. Like fishtank said, divided we fall. Transpeople will probably be the first to be utterly suppressed. And guess who will be the next to go once the alleged “gender cult” is gone? Exactly. Us homosexuals. Sure, it will probably be us gay men who will be the ones who get send to prison or even to get shot. So yay for your lesbians only club. At least until they decide that you all should forcibly get married to a guy and birth babies for the nation. And when that happens I, an evil gay man who simply accepted transpeople’s identity, will probably be long gone and you will have no allies left to save you from your predicament. Hope it was worth it.

So basically Coulter resorts to ‘No, you are the violent homosexual pedophiles, mirror times a thousand, no rebound to me, no backsies!’ level of kindergarten rethoric? That’s probably the most advanced technique she has ever managed to use, that calls for celebration!

That she is still a thing is quite honestly only not horrifying because there are now too many popular extreme right-wingers in the US, she doesn’t even stand out that much anymore.

Wow, talk about an inability to see beyond the edge of your nose! Men are just as much “designed” to be sexual objects as women are. Just because you have no interest in the male form doesn’t mean no one else does either. And it is misogynistic assholes like you who see women as nothing but sex objects, don’t project that into all men.

This all sounds like you desperately want an excuse to be able to rape women and that’s fucking abominable! Hope the first woman you try it on beats you to an inch of your life quite honestly.

And is it just me or do Incel arguments get more and more disjointed and contradictory?
- Women only want hot, handsome, muscular guys… oh but men are not sexual objects and are totally ignored by everyone, no matter how they look like or what they wear… but it is totally a lookist society controlled by women we live in… women who apparently have to do everything they can to appear hot to men… who in turn have to do no such thing… but are still forced into solitude because of their looks… oh and of course women are shaped to bring attention to themselves… but they also have to use makeup to do so… it goes on and on and on like this!
- Is that whole smv thing nurture or nature now? Because Incels always argue that these are all biological facts, but now this guy claims that it wasn’t always like this and people like Napoleon were measured NOT by their looks… So it is nurture then? But oh no, that would totally go against the whole Incel “you can’t fuck personality” and biological determinism thing…

Contradiction upon contradiction, peppered with whining and monstrous ideas. That’s Incels for you.

I mean, I could take this “critique” seriously if the OP actually said something about why he considers your prose mediocre. Instead he randomly misrepresents us (I presume they meant us with “communist website) and makes weird and insulting assumptions (did they mean that you have a fat ass Niam? They would be severely surprised about reality in that case).

‘Why no post about how the left wing called the left wing hypocrites hmmm?’
One part of a group calling the other hypocrite for not thinking exactly alike? News at 11! Pretty sure we posted such stuff before as well.

No one on the left wants to legalize those things, your strawmen are getting ridiculous OP. I have no idea what the actual problem is, if a kink is consensual and doesn’t hurt someone permanently then there is no reason to shame it.

Ken Ham #fundie #crackpot #dunning-kruger

… or let’s reject your happy little rejection of reality and simply go by the most parsimonious answer: That diseases aren’t the consequence of sin. That the story of Adam and Eve are at best allegorical. That god didn’t literally create the world a few thousand years ago and then left only evidence that points to the contrary (probably for a prank, but no one is sure about it).
You can have god being deceitful (and why should we then trust his word?) or god not creating the world after the egyptians had already established a successful empire there. But not both.

Your argument is painfully incoherent. Consent is not something mystical. Animals can’t communicate with us. They mostly lack the self-awareness necessary to say “no”. There is also an obvious disparity between us and animals when it comes to power. Therefore they can’t possibly give us informed consent. Simple as that. If some other species on the planet had evolved sapience to a degree that we did and was able to communicate with us then consenting sex between humans and them would be perfectly fine, end of story (this is probably the distinction between actual zoophiles and most furries as well, now that I think about it). What animals do or don’t do is absolutely inconsequential for the discussion, it’s what WE do that is important in this case.

Even your stupid, stereotype filled leading comparison is full of garbage: Zoophiles usually don’t have a “family life” with their animal slave… oh sorry I mean “lover” in plain sight BECAUSE most of society frowns upon this behavior. And while it is enormously sad if someone thinks he has to hide his sexual identity by marrying a women and then having sex with men on the side (which yes, actually increases the risk of spreading STDs) that’s a) adultery, not non-consensual, b) it’s an argument FOR social acceptance of gay people, which would drastically reduce such cases, c) has absolutely nothing to do with zoophilia and is a horrible comparison.

“Mutilated tranny monster”, do I need to say anything about that? Your own subjective hatreds are NOT objective facts and therefore this is also a very dumb comparison.

And no, we gay men (funny how you forgot about lesbians, who absolutely have the lowest amount of STD transmission among them) are not all meth addicts, HIV-infected, and certainly not degenerate. We at least have consensual sex, something no zoophile could ever have. End of discussion.

I am not on the up and up with the current american economy, but since political changes to it usually take about two years to take full effect you can blame the Trump administration for all of this. But we all know the pattern: Republicans destroy the economy, Democrats restore it, but are blamed for the problem in the first place because of that buffer time, then Republicans are voted for, are praised for economic growth actually caused by Democrats, destroy the ecenomy once again, and so on and so on.

Oh and if you all actually cared so much about austerity then you would reduce instead of constantly expand your bloated military budget. That whole austerity thing is only ever an excuse to reduce spending for the social net, never anything else.

I also find it funny that people still think gold is actually worth something more substantial than money. It is not. We barely use it in anything. Silver is ultimately more fundamentally useful, but not as rare, so investing in it will not give you much security. And never trust someone who wants to give you anything substantial for free. But sure, fall for these asshole scam artists if you like.

I take this in strides. If the fundies take note of us and try to deride us with such pathetic spins we are both doing at least something right and they are more easily cornered than previously thought.

Hope you don’t take offense shy when I do a little thought experiment here: Let’s say this quote was actually meaning what you, OP, insinuate that it means, which it doesn’t (i.e. shy being pro-pedophilia and the like, let’s not beat around the bushes here, you fundies do that way too often to avoid having to apologize for your statements), then that would mean that one guy made an awful statement on a website. It tells you absolutely nothing about what the website itself or what the other commenters are about. A quick look would show you that we quote pedophilia apologists (which also tend to be fundies themselves, strange right?) quite often here as well and deride them as the assholes that they are.

But keep up the impotent ranting, lying and slandering. It’s kind of hilarious most of the time.

Ok, first of all, what happened to this young woman is an abomination, utterly horrible in both execution as well as motivation (if it was a honor or prestige killing).

But I fear it is once again time to take a stand against the death penalty. I get where you are all coming from. Why do we allow such evil to persist? Why don’t we punish with such finality that the people who did these atrocities can never do them again?

Well first of all you should remind yourself that you are willingly giving the state the power to kill its citizens with the death penalty, even if they may be innocent (see the embarassing and chilling 4 percent of people who were executed in the US and were actually innocent). This is a sentence you can’t even renege on, dead is dead after all.

The sheer possibility that this might happen is bad enough, but you are also all ignoring that capital punishment is THE tool of the unjust. Once a state has that tool and normalizes it, it is open to misuse. It is no wonder that under Trump federal capital punishment was enacted for the first time in quite a while. The same people you want to use it against are the ones who will ultimately benefit the most from having this handy tool at their disposal. How do you want to punish trumpist terrorist with a tool they will immediately use against you once they come into power?

Thirdly: Capital punishment makes rehabilitation impossible. Sure, you might say that some people are beyond redemption, but I would argue even sex offenders and murderers are not. I know it goes against our instincts to think that, but these are not necessarily always fundamentally evil people (if such a thing exists). And they do have human rights too. If they really are monsters like Breivic, do what all these assholes fear: don’t make them martyrs, but instead let them rot in ‘golden’ cages. Just look at what it did to Breivik! Most people are starting to forget him and all his hopes of becoming the martyr for the far right are gone. It is unintuitive, but that’s how life usually is. Don’t give into your first, very much justified emotional responses, reality usually punishes that sort of undercomplex reaction immediately.

So no, in my opinion there is nothing that justifies the death penalty, not even for just reasons.

Oh damn, if the collective genomes of all our cells is our soul (potentially the transcriptome and the proteome as well…),then we are already contaminated with parasitic “non-human” sequences like transposons and old retroviri, long before we are born! Did Jesus have a transposome-free genome? Was his transcriptome free of the evils of exonizing jumping genes? Does that mean that his genome was about 50 percent shorter than that of other humans?

This would raise so many questions if it wasn’t so terribly, utterly not even wrong.

No, a glass cannon is someone or something that has a powerful effect, but is pretty fragile and or can’t be used more than a few times. Fascists tend to believe that their enemies are literally both extremely strong (because they need an enemy worthy to fight against) and incredibly weak (because after all, the fascists do need to show why they have the preferable way of life and will prevail). This as you can imagine, is often the cause of the fascists downfall, since it causes them to be totally unable to realistically estimate their enemies power.

Linda Harvey #homophobia #transphobia #fundie #wingnut

Ah yes, sure. Need I give myself as a counterexample yet again? Loving relationship with my parents, no idea about homosexuality even being a thing until I was 15 or so, no homosexual friends, but was always interested only in other men, even getting more and more confused as time went on and I didn’t develop an interest in women even though everyone else told me it would happen.

But reality is what you say it is right? You basically want your children to be just like you in this regard, and they will be. God knows I lost quite a few friends after I came out, and I am pretty sure about why that is. Homosexuality is definitely mostly biological in nature. Homophobia is entirely nurture.

Christopher Jon Bjerknes #racist #conspiracy #wingnut #dunning-kruger

Reuterdahl, from all I have read about that conflict, was an engineer who valued practical use of science in favor of abstract ideas, and therefore couldn’t handle relativity (an extremely abstract replacement of Newtonian physics) starting a new paradigm shift in the overall worldview of the time.
He was also very likely at least a bit antisemitic and fell for conspiracy theories about Jews after WW1 (which had left a strong impact on him). He and the anti-relativistic movement never had much evidence to back up their claims that Newtonian physics were still the superior model.

Einstein was no saint and from what I have heard, not even that much of a nice person. But this is clearly antisemitic bunk. The relativistic model is still the best one we have so far (what with its predictions still holding merit, even though we know that it is incomplete since it doesn’t jive that well with quantum physics). And much of what you are saying OP is pseudo-historical, antisemitic bunk.
