Re: Insert angered rant here
"Cartoonish" certainly seems to describe the regressive left's outlook on pretty much everything.

When you say "regressive left," do you just mean the left in general?

He's said the right is regressive too, but to date, has he ever described them that way when discussing them? I can't recall, honestly.

No, if I did, I would just say "the left."BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:06 am When you say "regressive left," do you just mean the left in general?

My perception is, that he means regressive leftists, when he writes regressive leftists.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:06 amWhen you say "regressive left," do you just mean the left in general?
He's clearly more to the political right than I am and I consider myself quite far left of the middle. I can't remember him ever accusing me of being part of the regressive left and as far as I can tell, I always had pleasent conversations with him, though our outlook on things is quite different and hard to reconcile at times.
It's funny how those left more towards the middle of the society, whether they be right or left in their particulars, are left in nowhereland and automatically assumed to be part of the extremes or only talking in extremes nowadays.

Not cartoonishly evil. Ranging from "good people" to "evil but in a nuanced way". And you crow a lot about the alleged Leftist Control of Media, but this is the first time I've seen you claim they run higher education. Maybe there are few conservatives in higher ed because you don't get teaching positions by saying that evolution is wrong and global warming is a Chinese hoax.Slash Gallagher wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 6:06 amAnd people who lost to them despite their nearly complete media and higher education dominance are...?Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 2:38 am WorfFan's statement isn't an actual practical, logistical suggestion, and y'all bloody well know it.
Things like this make me hate everyone who defends 45, because we have so many brutal, in-your-face reminders that him and almost everyone in his administration are all cackling, unabashedly, cartoonishly evil. And not like, Good Cartoons evil, not something nuanced that holds up to the test of time. I'm talking 90s cash-grab poorly animated shit that you watch while waiting for something better to come on cartoon villains. I'd call them supervillains, but supervillains need to have style, theme, and presentation.

Biology and Environmental studies are out. Please explain why they are also nowhere to be found in Economics, Sociology, Arts, History, Math and Physics?
We are now to the point where a "feminine penis" is no longer a joke on SNL but becoming part of the Progressive orthodoxy. You don't get to claim to be on the side of science any more.

I'm for school choice. More funding does not equal better outcomes. Only better teachers make better outcomes. Public schools are not incentivized to do better or hire better talent.

Re: Insert angered rant here
That's because you don't bother to properly assert it, you just grumble about the Leftist Media and Culture War like it's an answer to everything.
In any case, I don't see people on the "regressive left" going around shutting down churches on Christmas Eve, forcing happy mothers to get abortions, deliberately poisoning the town water supply, etc. Evil in the democrats tends to be more base-line, human activity like fucking interns or taking bribes or getting us enmeshed in pointless wars.
