Justin needs to make a "Perpetual Racism, It's Everywhere" thread here, so that geeblock can fulfill all of his needs there.
posted by justincredibleJames Lindsay is an interesting follow on twitter. He’s been calling out the school choice movement lately and I gotta say he’s making good points. It definitely has me reevaluating my stance on what seemed like a great idea. I also like that he’s going all in on the “anti-Communist” label. Same with Jesse Kelly.
I will be diving into the history of Mao’s Cultural Revolution soon.
The book gets into the practice of trying to force everybody to speak accepted language (what the group wants you to say and not to say), where it originated from, how it caught on and how it is currently carried out.
It's why I will say whatever I want to say here and geeblock can call me racists all day every day and still not get the results he so badly wants. We just saw that even after the history of "muh" was explained to him, he's doubling down on it. Because in his mind, there is only one thing that word can mean because that's all he ever knew of it. So to him, that is the truth of the matter. His mind is not free to learning new things. We all have a little bit of that, to be fair.
Example: I have a hard time believing astrophysicists when they claim there is dark matter. They can't see it, measure it, weigh it, it can't be felt, nothing to suggest that it is even possible, but they know it's there.
Geeblock is in the same scenario, only on the other side of the spectrum. He thinks he reads it, sees it, feels it everywhere. He just knows it is there. It's his ideology.
I think school choice is a good thing. "Fund kids instead of systems". Currently, poor families have no choice to send their school to anywhere else other than the district that they live in. They can't afford to move, pay tuition for private schools, can't drive their kids to and from school daily, etc. So they are stuck sending their kids to schools that aren't any good and currently care more about how many boxes of tissues that you kid brings at the beginning of the school year rather than ensuring that kid can read simple sentences.
Unless or until the Department of Education is dissolved, they are stuck. I don't see the recourse that is available to them.

Have you read Lindsay's rebuttal? Everything you say makes sense to me and is why I've always supported school choice.
But this was tried in Sweden (I think) in the 90s and it led to further government involvement in ALL schools, public and private, and eventually homeschooling was banned completely. It's almost certain that the government is going to start putting their hand in all institutions that take tax dollars from students moving to new schools.
posted by geeblockI don’t think everything is racist and I’ve never called anyone he racist in all the years we been chatting. But if yo didn’t know, all over the place racists on Twitter, Reddit. Yahoo all the time make comments imitating black people with slave language and it’s definitely racist. But we can drop it.
Examples include
“We didn’t do nuffin “
“When we wUz kings”
“BUt hE wUz a gOod bOy”
Slave language… as if you even know what that means… and then none of your examples used muh, which has been an internet meme for 20 years. You’re losing it bruh.
posted by geeblockWhy would you quote a white Person asking for equity? That makes zero sense. You were imitating an uneducated person of color asking for equity. Using a word from 1700’s in 2023 and putting it in quotes when quoting blacks people is basically mimicking slave language. Much like the racist people who make the “when we wUz kings” quotes. If you don’t want to be labeled racist don’t do things that racist people do.
He did nothing racist, if you call everything racist then nothing is.
Don’t be a moron.

Great asshole, now dark matter is racist too since you mentioned it 😂
The only place I've ever heard "Muh" was when bootlickers were mocking intelligent people over face diapers with"Muh freedumb!"

Idk, you’ve been playing the “you’re a racist” card really really hard for years on OC.
posted by gutMaybe it's time to focus more on teaching high school kids financial management. Maybe that's more important than teaching them critical race theory....
Ironic... I teach financial management. I tell people that I teach, "I wish they taught us this in school."

Never not once in 10 years or whatever on this board can you show a post where I called someone a racist on this board. You’re delusional. You have literally admitted you were wrong about every controversial subject we’ve ever discussed a few months ago lol u just like to argue and name call. We talk about race a lot on this board is not dropping the race card. It’s funny you have no problem when people bring up reverse racism, only when I discuss it.
Have we all said our piece yet? I don't think dragging this conversation on any further is going to go anywhere productive.
Can we get back to discussing this trainwreck of an administration?
