I accidentally deleted an entire Facebook campaign at work today. I recreated it but it was just more time and panic.
The ads section of Facebook has such a terrible interface. It's so clunky and confusing. You'd think that would be the one good part given it's how they make their money
I am listening to some "racist academics" including jollyheretic ( the very far left would call them haters ) so I can understand their arguments and pick apart the false reasoning and bad science.
So many assumptions, so many value judgements.
the first main thing is that they respect science, understand that science based facts have power, so try to use science or couch their arguments in scientific terms.
So many people have trod that ground before, nazis being the main ones, nazis still do that but evangelicals are doing it too now.
a YT I'm listening to now is expending a lot of effort showing how liberal people can be racist , and that can be true in a way. ( it usually paternalism, not based in ill will, just not well thought out is all. Overall the assumption by liberals is equality ) Liberal individuals making mistakes in enacting beliefs based on equality does not make far right beliefs true.
Progressive people can be very, very racist. Believe me.
that may be true but the far right shouldn't use that to justify or excuse their own racism
Of course not. But we can't turn a blind eye to the racism of some progressives.
But I'll be clear, it's not hateful like the right's racism is. You mentioned above that it's paternalistic and it can be. I just want to be treated the same as they treat each other.
Not like a stupid child.
