  1. They say there's no point in arguing with people on the Internet, and I disagree; I'm not *just* #arguing with the random person whose post I've responded to, but putting thoughts out there for the people they may #influence with that post who don't think of the implications.
    That said, I have *never* had a positive reaction to pointing out that someone's post is provably false, #propaganda or some version of myopic bias. 😞 Have you?

  6. #Arguing with anonymous strangers on the #Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.

  7. when #people are #arguing against #socialism or #communism or frankly even, like, the #welfare state, they're always like "well no one is entitled to the product of my labor!" and ohhh maaaan are you ever going to be mad when you learn about #capitalism, then. ive got the biggest news for you about the #economic model under which you currently live. you might wanna sit down

  8. this is it, this is all of it. By #arguing about things like healthcare (including abortion, narcan, insulin, transition care), queer rights, environmental racism, infrastructure, war--all of these things. What you're arguing about it what lives are worth saving.

    The #answer is: All of them.

  9. "#people #arguing against #abolition saying "you #expect an unarmed person to deescalate someone with a gun?" and it's like we are #expected to literally do that right now only most of the people with guns who we have to deescalate are the #cops, like shut the fuck up"

  10. • Conversational back-and-forth is a terrible format for resolving disagreements in good faith.
    • Bullet points are helpful for making disagreements productive.

  11. "Love to see #Marxists still #arguing about measuring or not #measuring #value when a non-marxist like #Kropotkin already came up with the better position way back in 1892:

    You can't #measure it and shouldn't want to even if you could. #Expropriate everything now and base #life on #need."

  12. # University of Wyoming sorority hits back at members who sued over trans sister

    * Seven members of the
    #KappaKappaGamma #sorority at the #UniversityOfWyoming #sued the sorority in March, alleging that it violated its own #rules by #admitting a #trans #woman, #ArtemisLangford.
    * The sorority has now filed a
    #MotionToDdismiss the #lawsuit, #arguing that the term "#woman" is "unquestionably open to many interpretations."
    * The sorority also
    #argues that the #members who sued are #NotEntitled to #relief because they did not suffer any actual #harm.
    * The lawsuit is still pending, and it is unclear how the court will rule.
    * The members who sued the sorority allege that they were
    #forced to #share #bathrooms and sleeping quarters with Langford, which made them feel #uncomfortable.
    * They also allege that the sorority's decision to admit Langford violated the sorority's own
    #rules, which state that members must be "#biologically #female."
    * The sorority has
    #denied these #allegations, and it has argued that Langford is a woman, regardless of her biological #sex.
    * The lawsuit is part of a larger
    #legal #battle over the rights of transgender people.
    * In recent years, there have been a number of lawsuits challenging laws that restrict the rights of transgender people, such as laws that ban transgender people from using public bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
