Obama is a hypocrite. He talks stuff about wallstreet then takes their money and kisses their ass.

Annoying Orange didn't talk stuff about McDonalds then decided to do kiss their ass with a fat payout later.
wall street is a street in manhattan. you can't talk stuff about a street unless it's really dirty

either way this is a quality topic and hilarious to read

Just because I think it's funny, doesn't mean I approve of it.
When you see a kid getting verbally abused by a bully and you laugh, you may not be supporting it but you're directly helping it continue. Those 4chan trolls that spend all that time trying to steal and deface shia's project run on attention, attention that you are intentionally feeding them.

Don't play the its funny but i dont support it card, because it doesn't work here and it doesn't work anywhere else. you either support the censorship and theft these alt right manchildren are utilizing or you advocate against it. there's no in-between or neutral space. If you are neutral, you help it continue.

horrible example

bullying is a lot more complicated than person A vs. person B
oftentimes the bully is a victim of abuse themselves and in an attempt to grasp at any power over anything they attack other people
you missed the point of my post, which is that bullying PSAs don't glorify the valiant efforts bullies have put in into making their victims lives miserable. that's what some conservatives want, for the 'heroic generals' who promoted violations of human rights to be glorified as much as the victims, which is absurd

you might as well glorify a serial killer for his heroic efforts at skinning 14 women alive in one month

as for your original problem, that can be attributed to the recent radicalization of progressives' goals and the methods they use to achieve them
like it or not, the stupid bullstuff taints the moderate, sensible things
what? radicalized goals? is expressing the absolute horrible effects of slavery considered another leftist trick? you should also blame the radicalization of the conservatives' goals, as they are also the ones trying to belittle the magnitude of genocide and slavery & are the ones complaining.

everything has its own equal reaction. if some neo-national socialists become vocal in their opinions to revive the confederacy and push their white supremacist agenda into politics, then some liberals are going to become vocal in response. your post makes it seem like the left is entirely at fault for the tribal views that some radical right are expressing

it kind of baffles me that there are people out there who see something pertaining to civil rights or diversity and completely flip out because they feel that it's being too 'liberal' and should be changed. it also baffles me that people would complain about a curriculum because it talks too much about the loving enslavement and denial of human rights of an entire race and too little about a small band of rebels who fought for the continuation of the aforementioned atrocities

that's like if somebody complained about a bullying PSA for stressing the effects on the victims and not glorifying the bullies enough. how would it properly express the magnitude of the victims' plight if they just spent 50% of the PSA explaining how devoted the bullies are towards being douchebags

8154
That may very well be true, personally I would prefer if history is presented from a global, all-encompassing perspective rather than cater to cultural trends. The past hasn't changed, and it would be nice if we could just present the facts and all perspectives such that the curriculum remains static.
they probably did but the conservatives didn't feel comfortable with the facts being presented and wanted it to be written according to them, which is to say, not focusing on human rights

Germany's curriculum is very specific and when they talk about the holocaust i'm sure they overstress the magnitude of the atrocities committed against the jewish race. However, there's always that one person that can't stand the sight of acknowledgment of a global atrocity and want everything to be completely belittled for their sake. That might be the same 'conservative backlash' crowd you're referring to.

is that a yes or a no

8157
Nobody has argued this
see: corderlain, king tony, tactical nuke

unless 'nobody' is an insult at these three people

8158
wouldn't nuking berkeley technically be killing free speech since people can't talk when they're dead

8159
no i just didnt understand what you're saying. are you saying "we should forget about it"

8160
The answer is forget about it
elaborate
