Massachusetts tried to define ‘white’ once. Pissed off some o fthe upper class in Boston. They had a certain amount of cachet from being descended of Pocahontas.
So the ‘definition’ of white had to include ‘no more than 1/16th Powhattan.’ Showing that ‘white’ is whatever the fuck you want it to be.
Just change the one drop rule so anyone with ANY white heritage is whie and you’ll start to rule teh world again.

“But there ARE banned books.”
Books not being carried by a private business is a business decision, not censorship. There’s a process for concerned citizens to make sure NO ONE can read a book at a school or library.

“If you cared about censorship and "banned" books then you would be defending the books that you find unsavory, not the books that are publicly available on Amazon and are ostensibly not "banned."”
you’re using a rather self-serving view of ‘banned.’ Like racists saying ’It’s not racist if they can always go to some other barbershop’ or bakery.

"It's offensive speech that needs protected the most, even if you disagree with it.”
Free speech only mneans the government can’t block it, not that private business needs to give it a platform.

“Yeah, maybe a kid in Alabama or something can't find Genderqueer at their school library. But there are a lot of books deemed inappropriate for school libraries.”
You seem to confuse books banned FOR bigotry with books banned BY bigotry.

“This shit obviously isn't about protecting speech or not wanting books to be banned. It's about making kids gay.”
You can’t make kids gay by reading a book.
But you MIGHT help them realize that they already ARE gay. Which might solve a lot of problems later.

Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans

One more of them going “ME ME ME ME!!”

This sounds more like the parent is in denial rather than their child self diagnosing.

If you love someone, set them free.

Now your child is free, how’s it feel being enslaved to your own bigotry now someone you once had control over can’t be controlled by you…?!

For what it’s worth, there is an infamous alt-right web cartoon sitcom called “The New Norm”, whose protagonist Norm is supposed to be a homage to Archie Bunker… he is the unironic straight-man flawless “hero” and mouthpiece for the creators’ stupid boomer opinions…

“He told me he had not seen a psychiatrist. He self-diagnosed and his primary care doctor went along with it.”
He. Two years and you still insist on misgendering her?

“I have worked in the mental health area for more than two decades.”
Really curious as what.Most people with actual credentials speak the credentials. “I’ve been a state-certified psychiatrist’ or whatever. What does the above actually mean?

" We have sent cards, gifts, and letters”
To your son?
“trying to let him know we will accept and love him”
Him. Bit of a give-away, there.

“but both he and his wife are non-responsive.”
Can NOT imagine why that might be.

“I know my son is struggling with a mood disorder and possibly schizophrenia”
Know? You KNOW this, though she has not been diagnosed?
What were your credentials, again?

"but, in the present culture, there is no real help for him and others like him.”
By ‘real help’ you mean people who will set HIM straight?

Maybe it’s the fact that you continue to call your daughter ‘him’? I mean, you said you’ll accept and love ‘him’ but have you tried saying you will respect and love ‘her’?

“ exposure to those whom they have declared evil or subhuman sometimes results in people *not* seeing them as evil or suhuman and likely suspicious about anything else the far right commonly declares to be truth.”
Ah. Makes me think of Archie Bunker. He changed a lot over the show’s run. Becoming more tolerant, more human, his motives clearer.

At about the same time, Frank Burns was Frank Burns the entire goddamned time. No growth. No humanizing. Houghlihan had a much better story arc. Hell, the STILL had a better story arc.

Which is how the Right would write television. THEIR villains are bound by the stereotype from the pilot.

Probably why they reject any show that attempts to humanize villains at their introduction. Making the Joker a relatable character is just woke.

“Our forefathers wrote the constitution with guidance from the book of Isaiah..”
Which is mentioned nowhere in the documentation used to justify the decisions they made and the document they wrote.
Don’t lie for Jesus, it makes baby Jesus cry.

“This same constitution founded by Godly men, with Isaiah as part of the principles, has lasted over 200 years.”
Not exactly. There are all the Amendments adding to the document.
And there are all the SCOTUS decisions clarifying the document.
And there’s no reason at all to think the Bible was involved anywhere.

“Sorry - Evolution-Tards...Another Smack-Down - For Your "Theory"...”
Sorry, gotta know that if anyone does disprove evolution, it’ll be headlines on everything. Not something that’ll sneak into history..

“Looks like the cartoons you use just don't seem to jibe with real experimental research, and observable science?”
I teach for a living. A lot of concepts are taught better with line art than photographs, to be clear.

"Perhaps you should try the Comic-Book Industry?”
Lke a Chick Tract? We’ll stick with textbooks, thanks.

“A group of scientists with the University of Cambridge recently published a report in the journal “Nature Structural and Molecular Biology,” in which they describe their findings on epigenetic modifications.”
‘Kay?

“Not only is the genome more complex than previously thought, but the number of modifications that affect it is higher than predicted.”
Oh. Complexity. No one’s tried throwing really big numbers at evolution and expecting it to collapse.

“the language systems in the genome continue to reveal nothing but unimaginable complexity”
Uh huh. I can see why YOU’RE impressed.

“I predict a strong future in cartoons, and comics, for the "Evolution-Tards".”
I can foresee a lonely existence patting yourself on the back for not winning any argument, here.

“A lot of mainstream Japanese stuff has girls looking 14 in the face but much more mature everywhere else....”
That’s not pedo.
Pedophiles are attracted to underdeveloped bodies. Flat chests, flat butts. No hair.
If there are bumpy bits, it’s an adult, which is offputting to pedophiles.
Imagine Lynda Carter’s face on Harvey Korman’s body. The status of one part does not override the details of the other part in the mind of onlookers.

“evolution is intolerant atheism masquerading as science”
Well, that’s quote the double-barrled horseshit. So why do so many Christain sciencists accept the science, then?

“The implications of evolution are clear, no God”
No, that’s not an implication of the science. That’s a protest of people who want Genesis taken literally. All of science is naturalistic and silent on the supernatural.

"no savior, no sin,”
connotations invented by creationists who don’t fully understand the science.

“no right, no wrong.”
not part of what evolution sets out to investigate, really. That’s more of an anthropology area.

"They also sue, silence, and harass, any who dare disagree like sternberg. So the darwiniacs have turned 'science' into atheism.”
You’re lyijng about evolution, and you get upset that people try to STOP the spread of such lies. How christain of you.

“of course the 'mountain of evidence' for evolution is nothing more than a molehill...”
Feel free to refute all the evidence, then. If it’s a molehill, shouldn’t take too long.

“darwiniacs see evolution because the alternative, God, is unthinkable to these atheists pretending to be 'scientists'.”
The supernatural is NOT an alternative, not in science. More lying for Jesus.

“The fossil record shows stasis, animals appear fully formed, and then become extinct.”
Animals coming and going is NOT stasis.

"where are the 'proto-organs' in humans, or any other animal, since we are in the process of 'evolving'? there are none.”
not how evolution works.

“the evolutionists cannot evolve anything in a lab, they see a single mutation, ie 'micro' evolution..”
Microevolution is NOT a single mutation. Where did y ou go to school, Clown College?

“and proclaim micro adds up to macro, but of course it does not,”
Feel fucking free to show an upper limit to microevolution.

“as the tuatara demonstrates..”
Huh?

"but no matter, they think if they just had more time..they could see evolution...”
We’ve observed evolution. Actual evolution, not whatever it is you think evolution means.

“its nothing more than the faith of the atheist in their hairy god darwin.”
The constant references to the atheist’s god always crack me up.

“The transformation of a man to a woman or the reverse is manifesting the image of Baphomet/Satan!!!!!”
Baphomet is both. Comfortably exhibiting both male and female traits. So, not transitioning.
And the transition is not turning a man into a woman. it’s a woman becoming more completely a woman.
This idiocy is right up there with thinking that women wanting the vote meant they had penis envy.

Seven? Why’d you get the age of seven?
There is no age of accountability in the Bible. In fact, the Bible says that evil people are evil from the womb. And we’re all sinners our entire lives.
Paul even urged people NOT to have kids as they might not live long enough to accept Christ before He came back.

Really goes off the rails, though, when pretending that the news progam will connect the suicide attempts to people who’ve rejected Christ several times. Might be true, God would have that information, but no one in the newsroom will have direct knowledge of just how many of the suicide attempts were connected to THAT cause. Stops being an illustrative story and just goes to a sermon.
Might have done better to go to an interview with a Bible scholar? Just not one that’s completely right or he wouldn’t be available for interviews. “Our best guess is…”

For me, though, the crux is that it’s GOD who picks the raptured. Not the Christains. I doubt that anyone who’s certain THEY are going to be called up is humble enough to be part of the Rapture. Gonna be about twenty people taken up. And that’s including the saints in their graves. Any reporting will be Archangel Michael. “Hi. Listen, the Rapture was yesterday. You might have heard the trumpets? But if you’re still here, you did not qualify. And before you go blaming the liberals, or the Jews, or the Transgendered queer unwed immigrant mothers, or whoever, you should know it was YOUR fault. Your failing.
“Now, let the rioting and sore loser-fest begin!”

“either the true God ....”
Which atheists don’t think is a thing.

“or one of our own making .....”
What makes that a god, then?

“a-theists worship their belly”

“or the "law of other men" or "science" ..... but worship and obey they do ..........””
You’ve never really listened to an atheist.

“[JFL] i don't understand incels that equate sexual regulation to communism/socialism”
Sexual regulation? To an incel, any social pressure, policy, or religious effort to control sex just gives women an excuse not to fuck borderline incels. “Sorry, can’t help you, it’d make Baby Jesus Cry.”

“sexual capitalism looks nothing like money capitalism.”
capitalism is capitalism. You have something i want, here’s what I am willing to give you in return.

“our 'capitalist' system is heavily regulated in taxes and benefits, nothing like this exists in sexual capitalism.”
There is if one of you gets pregnant. Changes the equation instantly..
And in incel-istan, every time you have sex, there’s wear and tear and depreciation on the vagina. There are costs.

“we were at the height of civilization when the sexual market was regulated”
No, sweetie. It was never regulated. The sexual market is how much you think other men will be jealous of your girlfriend. The only ‘regulation’ would be if the women wore burkha’s.

No, every female deity is not the same.

Liberty is not Venus. The “Sol Invictus” crown and form-concealing robe were deliberately chosen to give her a powerful and dignified look that nobody with even the barest classical art education could possibly confuse with Venus!

“Rather than admit that they are wrong, and that the evidence is not in favor of evolution,”
Are you KIDDING? If a scientist publishes objective evidence that overturns Evolutionary Theory, they’ll be on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Scientific American.

"the converts don’t want to admit that they were conned.”
That’s a lot more likely to describe people who believed Hovind or Strobel. No publish, just quietly stop buying their books.

“So they perpetuate the myths that got them hooked,”
You know we can’t just repeat a lie unless everyone else is in on the lie, right? And if it was that obvious, then the people actively trying to disprove it would have found it and forced it to be faced.

"even when they know that the evidence no longer supports those conclusions... Genesis is true”
It just cannot be science. Too much magic requored.

“So what is the point of living if all you have worked for is for nothing?”
I made a casserole for Sunday. Boil the pasta, cook the meat, THEN assemble and cook the casserole. What’s the point of cooking THREE times and only getting one meal? Still only makes one turd.
We should just eat meals that you can do in one pan.

"And if this is people's one and only chance to live a life, why aren't they going completely by pleasure.”
Maybe i get pleasure from things that aren’t imediately gratifying?

“I mean, if I knew that it would be nothingness after I died, I would live life to the fullest. Since there is no sin orpunishment, I would not to go work, for I could get everything just by stealing.”
So, you’re a sociopath, but you’ve been bribed by the promise of a reward.

“Why would I want to waste my time cleaning?”
Why wipe your ass if you’re going to shower tomorrow?

“I wouldn't abide by the laws, for imagine how much fun it must be to be going 100 down a highway like some of these video games.”
Huh. We evolved as a social animal, and there’s you wanting to be the last man on Earth.

"Want a girl or guy and you aren't married to them, why go ahead and do it since there is nothing bad that can come out of it.”
Ah. So if it’s not ETERNALLY bad, you don’t care. Not until it affects your afterlife.
So, again, you’re not moral, you’re just on a leash.

"Why not go out killing people for the fun of it?”
Just a niggling idea that individual people have intrinsic value.
And I’ve killed everyone i really WANTED to kill.

“ Want something a friend has, why not go ahead and take it from them? Joy to the world, I'm here to live my life as I wish!”
Why are all Christains really nihilists if you scratch their surface?

@no_one_quits #wingnut #racist

How many Americans who call themselves Christians are really believers in Trumpianity?

Any attempt to refute this new religion is heresy and you are punished not only financially, legally & with prison time, you are a horrible person.

I don’t know that Holocaust deniers should in all cases be punished legally and/or financially, but labeling them as horrible people? I’ve got no problem with that.

1. You can believe that Jesus is God and/or that the Nazis under Hitler had a concentrated effort to kill ~6 million Jewish people and then another ~6 million of other categories. One doesn't need to replace the other, just like you don't replace Christianity with "Breakfastanity," the belief that the first meal of the day is commonly called breakfast.

2. Your made up version of it does, sure. In general though, knowing about what Hitler did to a commonly oppressed and reviled ethnic/religious group and how people can be convinced/coerced to go along with various atrocities is not only just a part of history but one that can be compared and contrasted to current events. Seeing how many people will happily embrace authoritarianism and extremism under mob mentality led by a charismatic leader and how it impacts society.

3. Generally because the attempts to refute it are in bad faith. Cherry picking information to lie, false claims, and general misinformation is how it's usually argued. And the latter is pretty usually true cause the thing I hear most from Holocaust deniers is something like "Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews (or some slur) but he should have!" You know, the type that says their boy is an innocent angel while calling for genocide. Which often means the person is a horrible racist fuckwit, so you know, a horrible person. And the prison time/financial issues do vary depending on where you live.

Rev. Joel Webbon #fundie #wingnut

I agree with him on one thing: we need to humanise Hitler. It is way too easy to make the nazis into such cartoonish evil or grandiose monsters that people will not believe their particular style of maliciousness is still possible. It very much is. They did not come into power because they were advertising that they wanted to murder millions of people, they came into power because they promised to lower the price of stuff and had the perfect fall people for the inflated prices. Hitler was not some bigger than life evil genius, he was just some failed painter with a love for big dogs and hatred for people who were not like him.
People need to keep this in mind lest we forget that the shit the nazis did is still very much possible here and now.

In treating parasitic ailments with strikingly similar symptoms to Covid.

Completely different aethiologies (causes) affecting the same systems can lead to very similar symptoms while requiring completely different treatment. Thus, differential diagnoses are a very important concept in medicine.

Ivermectin is an antiparasiticum, that is, a poison that is deadly to invertebrates but (mostly) harmless to the vertebrate host - in this case, a neurotoxin that primarily targets a receptor not present in vertebrates. Covid-19, however, is a respiratory viral infection, caused by basically a very advanced piece of malicious genetic code without a metabolism of its own hijacking the patients’ cells, primarily in the pulmonary system to produce more of itself. Thus, the mechanism by which Ivermectin works is not applicable at all.

Also, what parasitic ailments with strikingly similar symptoms to a fairly normal grippal infection except for its high potential for fulminancy and long-term aftereffects are we talking about?
