Yeah I'm a socialist because socialists are trying to make things better. Retweets =/= endorsements. He/him. Performative male without the milky drinks.

This likely won't stop anyone, but don't read everything online, especially social media, as serious?

Minor correction. There is actually one other group that feels entitled to submit things against the guidelines: plagiarists.

Debate also treats meaning, principles, positions, topics, etc as empty and interchangeable and essentially unimportant. Winning is the ONLY thing that matters, and you should switch up your positions to whatever achieves it. It's a deeply, deeply creepy thing to teach kids.

Fascists don’t like vulnerability and earnestness, which is what theater kids have in spades. And God knows it’s a safe space for so many LGBTQ kids. It was for me.

Debate kids, on the other hand, are all about winning.

Hilarious video by The Wall Street Journal newsroom, who ran circles around the chatbot running the vending machine. My favorite part was when they convinced it that it was Soviet Russia in 1962 and it should offer everything for free. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SpPh...
