  • A few weeks ago, on 7 February, the bullying allegedly erupted in violence when Nex suffered severe head injuries during a “physical altercation” at Owasso High School, according to the Owasso Police Department.

    Sue Benedict told The Independent she was called to the school that day to find Nex badly beaten with bruises over their face and eyes, and with scratches on the back of their head.

    Nex told her that they and another transgender student at Owasso High School had been in a fight with three older girls in a girls bathroom. Nex was knocked to the ground during the fight and hit their head on the floor, according to their mother.

    Ms Benedict said she was furious that the school had failed to call an ambulance or the police. She said the school then informed her Nex was being suspended for two weeks.

    She took Nex to the Bailey Medical Center in Owasso for treatment. They spoke to a police school resource officer at the medical facility and were discharged.

    That night, Nex went to bed with a sore head and eventually fell asleep while listening to music, Ms Benedict said.

    On the afternoon of 8 February, Nex was getting ready to go to Tulsa with Ms Benedict for an appointment when they collapsed in the family living room.

    Ms Benedict called an ambulance, and Owasso Fire Department medics arrived to find Nex had stopped breathing. Nex was taken to the St. Francis Pediatric Emergency Room where they were later declared dead.

    This child's blood is on their hands. Not just the kids who did the physical beating, but also the conservatives who set up a culture where this is acceptable.

  • You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/current-affairs-magazine/

    https://plato.stanford.edu/Entries/Colonialism/

    Equating the two is laughable. You are equating

    • conquest
    • the intentional destruction of a people's civilization/government
    • slavery

    to

    • the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
    • the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy

    It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.

  • It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.

    No, it's not. It's defining the phrase.

    It is saying:

    • Worship of the written word

    Is defined by:

    • honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

    It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what's worse is that they are very clearly saying that "worship of the written word" is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you're missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.

    If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was

    If you did that, you'd get a million different answers. And that's why they defined it:

    • honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

    they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.

    You're just pulling this out of you ass.

    It’s super obvious propaganda.

    All you're doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn't there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.

  • The actually way its worded:

    Worship of the written word (one of nine core traits of white supremacy) = honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

    The way the article frames it:

    white supremacy = love of reading and writing

  • That's not how the burden of proof works. You made the claim that it was racist. You have the burden to prove that it is racist. I have no burden to prove it isn't.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)

    You can't just shift the burden of proof onto me, it is a fallacy:

    Jack: I have tiny, invisible unicorns living in my anus.

    Nick: How do you figure?

    Jack: Can you prove that I don't?

    Nick: No.

    Jack: Then I do.

  • And no I would never fit into the democrats. I’m neither woke nor a racist.

    That is why so many Democrats are in prison compared to Republicans.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8872460

    Democrats support illegal immigration. It’s not shocking since democrats love lawlessness.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8870239

    As I’ve said many times, democrats. (Liberals) are racist.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8520157

    That’s democrats who want the racial and gender caste system.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8513465

    That is because Democrats love to spend money they don’t have.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8410895

    It is well known the Nazis and Democrats are well connected. Two peas in a pod.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8405309

    Democrats are still racist as they’ve always been.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/8377599

    This is just the past month alone, and just one user. Admittedly, 90% of these kinds of statements come from winter. But every single one, not a peep out of the mods saying "hey, don't say that, democrats are not a monoloth".

    The exact one about democrats being violent must have been from a while ago. And tbh I don't care enough to go digging for it. My point has been made.

  • Also it's odd that you're complaining that I'm grouping republicans together (for a post/article you guys agree with and support), but when someone comes along and says "dEMocRatS aRe VIoLenT" you're silent. What a double standard.

  • Saying “Gun violence” instead of “Violence” is dog whistling that you care more about disarming people than saving lives.

    I'm saying gun violence because that's the topic. Getting upset over this wording is like getting upset somebody calls a ride on a plane "air travel" instead of "travel". That's the category of the subject being discussed.

    That aside, yes, most political violence world wide is right wing violence. This is mainly due to Islamic terrorism, which is right wing. Note that is not American right wing.

    Even if you're just limiting to domestic terrorism, right wing terrorism is the majority of said terrorism.

    Define shootings

    I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about politically motivated attacks when I was talking about the straight white shooters thing. Gang violence isn't really politically motivated.

    And your numbers are way off:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/

    https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N363273/

    Guess what? They have a right wing bias. They generally don’t report shootings because there’s no angle. Left wing sites do report on them because they want to push an anti-gun narrative, that and ratings.

    So when left wing sources push an angle, it's to reduce deaths. When right wing sources push an angle, it's to demonize minorities who are already at risk for violence.

    And you think the chosen angle for this particular case makes you look good?

    Don’t think I didn’t notice just how light on details that AP is. They talk a bunch about the victims and Joel osteen, but they barely give you her name.

    Glorifying shooters only makes copy cats more likely. The AP is being responsible.
