By all means let’s reject intolerance, hatred and racism, but it’s become “the boy who cried wolf.” People are realizing that just because someone calls something intolerant, racist or hateful doesn’t make it so.

Trudeau’s words v. reality

I take no position on this trucker thing in Canada, because I don’t know enough about it. But I am sick of certain politicians defaulting to the same stale message every time they disagree with something.

I never watch her, but this is interesting.

Maddow Edits DeSantis Remarks, Falsely Claims He Never Condemned Nazis

Will she be banned from social media for spreading fake news?

I like listening to Dr. Jordan Peterson, and over the months and years I’ve heard little things here and there that seem to indicate (to me, anyway) why he is having such an obvious and public struggle with the existence of God.

I make the case that a lot of the recurring elements in his lectures add up to a psychological case for God. I don’t know if Dr. Peterson is aware of this argument, and I don’t know if he would endorse it, but it seems that these ideas are rumbling around in his brain, and leading him in a certain direction.

Here’s my attempt to put it all together. The audio is about 27 minutes. It’s nothing fancy. Just me talking.

I wanted to get this out of my head and out of the way, because it’s been a bit of an obsession recently, and I need my brain for other things.

My understanding is that she said the Holocaust was not about race because it was white people against white people. IOW, in her mind there is no Jewish race. And if you look up race — how it’s used by the government, for example — that’s right.

But that perspective seems both reductionist and ahistorical. Just because we have reduced “race” to about five categories today doesn’t mean that’s how people meant the term back in the 1930s and 40s.

The Nazis were all about the Aryan race — which doesn’t appear on the census, and is regarded as an obsolete concept. But in their minds it was clearly a racial thing.

Somewhat along the same lines, there was a time when people from central Europe were not regarded as “white.” So what “race” would they be?

IOW, people used the term very differently in the past.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe Whoopi was trying to defend the Holocaust, or say anything negative about Jews. She was simply (wrong-headedly) applying modern definitions of “race” to the Holocaust.

In my opinion, she should be corrected about that, and she should clarify what she meant, but it’s not grounds for being suspended.

The new name doesn’t retain any of the Native American legacy. It doesn’t preserve “HTTR” or work with the fight song. It’s boring and stupid. And what’s with the black uniform? Washington has never had a black uniform, to my knowledge.

Disappointed, but not surprised.
