We make laws to control people who don't respect rules without a mandate. We don't consult the criminals on whether those laws work for them. That's the problem. We're giving the criminals a seat at the table.
@teresamaryclark
The word cis is absent because it's not a religious document. I know you think redefining words is a clever way around any time anyone clearly tells you your intentions are bad, and dangerous, and they won't go along with it, but it's not. It's abusive.
@RachaelWongAus
It's a good sign, though, that there are so many people there given the complete blackout on this case in the Australian media. I'd assume they weren't prepared because they didn't expect so many people to know about it.

You did something awful in public. He's not responsible for your decisions. You're basically crying that you should have a consequence free life, which is exactly the same attitude you have about Hamas. I wouldn't want to live anywhere your behavior ISN'T dangerous.
@MarkRPellegrino
There's a certain fascination in watching how far they're willing to depart from reality. "Race is a choice" sounds pretty racist to me, for example. "It's real because I believe it" wasn't even the highlight of the skepting.

As long as there are people who choose to do good things there will be bad people trying to tear them down. I have understood and accepted this for years. It's been heartening in the past few days seeing how many people react protectively when these people come out in the open.
This, seeing this really made me mad. It's such a lovely image, such a beautiful picture of two good people appreciating each other deeply. How dare anyone try to destroy this?

A guy in a van slowed down and followed me while I was walking and tried to talk me into an ongoing monogamous sex for money arrangement. I said no over and over. Eventually he asked me if I had a boyfriend. I said yes. Then he drove off. Like I couldn't just say no because no.
@ConceptualJames
I think it's pretty damn simple. It has nothing to do with race, slavery is bad and all people who agree with the founding ideas of America should be thrilled to celebrate the day humans stopped being treated as cattle.

I just still can't get over the fact that your pro trans argument is "India Willoughby probably isn't as dangerous as both Tate brothers together." For real, are you under the impression that the standard for womanhood is "probably not a sex trafficking duo"?

Damn good for you, Mark, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.

You're spreading Holocaust revisionism, which is a form of Holocaust denial, which is against TOS. I understand YOU believe your cult version of events, but most people are completely aware that you're spreading lies. You should really think more.
So we want to invite everyone to share favorite memories, pictures, stories, impressions or thoughts celebrating Mark. Thank you for being a fantastic human being

Hey ๐ Guardians ๐ this artist is struggling with some financial issues right now. She's not asking for charity, she's trying to make up the difference in sales. She creates some great stuff and she's an ally to our message. Please peruse her store and rt to help her out.
Do you like my jewelry, keychains and other

It's actually totally irrelevant what race either of them is or what words anyone said. Beating and choking people unconscious in public shouldn't be normal.

I don't think it's about forgetting. It's actually saying "because you're not my mother". In fairness, I saw a woman do this to her husband about father's day once, so it's really not a man thing. It's just an asshole thing. Just forgetting is not NEARLY as nasty.

You're damn right that's thuggery. That cop can burn in hell. The answer isn't attacking innocent people or giving the racists their tribute. The answer is us. Standing together and saying NO MORE.
@DahliaErela
@MarkRPellegrino
It's mostly irritating because Mark is an intensely committed individualist. His philosophical leanings are an absolute cure for racism and homophobia and everything else they accuse him of, which proves these people don't actually have a problem with those things at all.

You decided sex is determined by law, right? Now you think it's genitals? I'm starting to think you have no idea what you believe.
@MarkRPellegrino
Destroyers don't care if they're right, they just revel in destruction. Often this requires being wrong intentionally. I don't think it's negligence causing them not to check to see if their feelings make sense, they really just don't care.

Prove it. Prove by objective means that any male can be a woman. Then tell me by what objective means you determine which ones are. This isn't a semantic game. You're fighting for the right to voyeurism, sexual harassment, indecent exposure, and worse. Your only argument is feelz
These are a few examples of who he is and what he stands for. We had fun putting this together, but it doesn't begin to cover the impact Mark has had, and we know many more people would have loved to participate.
@CoreyElijah_
@MarkRPellegrino
When you abandon reason for feelings and accept the idea that a person being upset at someone creates an obligation for that someone to prove his innocence yes, you are a witch burner.
Except socialists are violent and envious. They WANT that. They're not well intentioned do gooders who haven't thought it through. They're hate filled negativists who want to destroy every good thing they see.
Socialism may sound great to you, until you realise the money you want generously given to one group is first of all violently taken from another group.
It's totally irrelevant whether you think people can always tell or not. A successful con artist isn't justification for the legalization of fraud. This argument is idiotic.
Question for the "we can always tell" gender criticle out there:
Which of these humans do YOU think should be using the women's room? Who would you not question as they headed towards that door?

There's definitely a difference between discussing differences of opinion with generally rational people and pretending all ideas are equally valid merely because they exist.

So you are aware of the terrible consequences of refusing to recognize people as individuals and instead obsessing about their race. That's good. The next step is to stop.

It's immoral and vicious to falsely accuse someone of egregious behavior. It is entirely ethical to react forcefully toward people who initiated the attack.

Lol given no witches were burned in Salem I'd hope it was a joke. The point is, these principles still matter. The Salem witch trials weren't wrong because religion, they were wrong because denial or reason and the disregard for justice that inevitably follows.
This is seriously one of the best things in the internet. These four hosts are brilliant and bring such a sense of joy and life to their topics. If you don't understand why philosophy is important you will after you get addicted to this series.

That's really the whole tragedy of the thing. We aren't capitalist and we aren't positivist as a nation. So now we're trying to figure out how to compensate for the systematic attack on philosophy that left us in our current state, facing a deadly pandemic we COULD have handled.

So foolish. If a school relies on parents wanting to send their children there it has to offer good results to profit. Greed in this case benefits students. Corruption is fueled by government forcing people to use a service. The service no longer needs to produce to make a profit

It isn't. They want racism. Did you see the one saying I should not have an opinion about racism while talking to POC? That's an attempt to use race for unearned authority, just like the decades of legalized oppression we had against black people in this country.

Skeptics. They assume everyone else is as bad at gaining knowledge as they are so we won't see it when they show how violent they are because they SAID they're nice and the closest they come to knowledge is believing what people tell them.
