  Neither is any media balanced these days. Mass media is effectively kneeling before Nigel Farage like he’s had a crown on his head.

  I say let The Canary do it. Might balance things out.

  Pretty sure voters of one party hates all leaders of other parties. But Kier is additionally also hated by Labour voters, making him lower than everybody.

  Depends on what you think debate is, I guess. After posting my comment I did realize people probably conceptualise “debate” differently. If you think debate is just a form of performance to influence people’s ideas, then sure. But if you think debate should be a form of intellectual conversation, a collaboration between two disagreeing parties in order to find truth, then what Charlie is doing couldn’t be further from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people call it “woke”?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but then the neoliberals appropriated it to mean things like changing corporate logos to rainbow colors during Pride month while doing absolutely fuckall for the marginalized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Jesus he is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Charlie was not doing debates. He was a propagandist. What he did was performing in the shape of a debate, in front of an audience to spread his agenda, and he was very good at that. If you scrutinize his “debate” in terms of logical soundness or other things a good argument should have, he wouldn’t stand a chance. But that was not the point, nor would it matter.

  but i didn’t notice anything specifically transphobic about it.

  It might not sound transphobic to the uneducated, but many points she peddled in that video (esp. the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria stuff) and used by transphobic groups to discredit trans people. There is a very good video (not related to Sabine) that explains all this stuff:

  Be warned, it’s 5 hours long. (Yes, there is a lot to explain, and there is a lot of bad stuff there.)

  Huh? That wasn’t what I was doing at all, you just pulled that accusation out of your ass.

  So you actively ignore evidence that might be inconvenient to your opinions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Got This Right, Right?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all, you completely missed the main point of my comment. If you think there’s no evidence then you shouldn’t be claiming one way or the other either, yet this post is presenting him as definitively right wing.

  Secondly, I didn’t say he is a left winger. I said (based on my judgement) the evidence shows he probably, maybe leans left.

  And answering your “what evidence” question, his text message to his roommate is released by the investigation. There are also statement from his mother stating he is “getting more and more left” (obviously, grains of salt). And there are leaked (released?) Discord messages from the killer.

  If you never heard any of these, then you probably are in an echo chamber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Got This Right, Right?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can agree that the right wing is trying to use Kirk’s death as casus belli to start a civil war against us. We are in a dangerous position right now.

  But at the same time we can also choose to NOT spread misinformation like this. No, we don’t know right now what political leaning the killer has. If anything, if the evidences released by the investigation can be trusted, he is more likely to be left leaning.

  Yes, the right spreads misinformation all the time to further their goals. But I think we can do better.

  this empathy quote did get me riled up, but later i found out there was more to this quote. i’m not going to tell you how to feel, but i’ll just put this here:

  […] Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That’s a separate topic for a different time. - Charlie Kirk

  Well they thought butterflies ate butter, so they called them “flies that eat butter”, hence butterfly. (that’s one of the theories at least)

  Wakefield did manage to fool peer reviewers and got his paper published in Lancet, a top-tier medical journal (and it took them 12 years to fully retract that paper). So I wouldn’t say people recognized that immediately.
