or reject parts of their ancestor's legacy, or choose which ancestors to see as inspirational and for what. this happens all the time! "it's heritage not hate" is just saying, "I choose a heritage of hate." you weren't born with a confederate flag on your dna. nothing works like that.

I think this really underlines the fact that people choose racism; it doesn't choose them.
Like, people claiming confederate flags as their heritage. no one has to do that. it's not some sort of genetic destiny. lots of people reject their parents and look to other models for lots of reasons. 1

very similar to trump telling the german prime minister that he must feel bad about America defeating germany and he said, "no we celebrate that as our liberation from the fascists."
Those white residents of South Africa that Trump is trying to paint as victims?
Have this to say: "Singling us out as victims of multiracialism alienates us from our fellow South Africans and harms relationships that have been fostered over the past 30 years."

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

People on here fled X because they got bullied and then they „moderated“ it by bullying anyone not agreeing with them off the platform and they simply can’t let go of being shit posters
And it’s always „apologize or else“ or „delete“ and when you do it‘s admission

These people always have an excuse for why they're allowed to treat everyone else abhorrently, but at the end of the day it always collapses back to "because everyone else lets it happen and I can get away with it."

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk
the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight
but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame
