When do you find the results?

What are your symptoms?

What names have I called?

1. Should get the results by Saturday.

2. Shortness of breath and a slight cough.

Chest x-ray looked fine.

None. I'm talking about the Politics Forum in general.

Hope everything turns out well, Lagtight.

Gl lagtight, hope you’re alright.

y'all need the love of a kitten and weed.

leave alone these abstractions that you know are a bad trip

hold on to love

why's it so hard for me to try to tell you how I feel?

for wetwork's upcoming 7,777th it's gonna be a goodie. I know it.



check the bassist imo. Viva India!

Thanks. Tested NEGATIVE.

Thanks.

Bad news. I'll be around here a long time!

If you and some friends conspire to commit a crime the night before Purge Night, and then commit said crime on Purge Night, can you be prosecuted for conspiracy?

Remember when Goya was in the news and "boycotts are leftist censorship" was all the rage? Yeah, about that, turns out all it takes for conservatives to make laughingstocks of themselves is *checks notes* a coffee company refusing to adopt a conservative murderer-turned-celebrity as a spokesman:



LOL

Fox News settled with Seth Rich's parents for seven figures to stop Sean Hannity from getting deposed

I’m going to miss Melania trump. Her grace , independence , and foreignness were all welcome excursions from the norm. I think Melania trump did a good job with her be best intiative and combatting cyber bullying. From now on it’s just going to be Jill Biden teaching Americans authoritatively about new ways to expand the school to prison pipeline.

my sister and her boyfriend got Covid. They were ok, but both are very young. I think you’ll be ok lagtight, not that this should be considered medical advice.

Thanks Spaceman.

I tested negative for Covid.

I'm still having breathing issues, but at least it's not Covid.

Don't worry you might get to see her again in 4 years.

I don’t think Melania is going to marry Ivanka.

I've seen what seems like a dozen articles about Cawthorn and how maybe he's a Nazi, so don't agree that there is a double standard here or that the left don't have moral panics about young, attractive new members of Congress in the other party as well.

It's reported on, sure; me posting about it here contains one such article! But, it's not part of our politics, really, the same way Republican leaders routinely yell about the left on college campuses. Like I just googled "ted cruz free speech college campuses" and sure enough, got a hit I'd never even heard of from last year: "Ted Cruz: Leftists used to 'defend' free speech. Today they 'silence' it." Sen. Ted Cruz says that colleges have been "taken over" by far-left "60s radicals." Totally predictable hysteria spread by the loudest voices on the right; you can probably find some version of this for most Republican Senators that talk to the media a lot.

What's the loudest equivalent voice in the other direction, pointing out how overtly fascist College Republicans are becoming? AOC's Twitter page? Articles on page A20 of the NYT? Obscure liberal publications like "The Cut" that normies don't actually read?

No one really cares about College Democrats, including Republicans. They care about leftwing college students and professors. Similarly, progressives care a lot about white supremacy and its remnants on college campuses, or the military and corporate influence over college, but not so much about College Republicans. However, if anything, I would say that relatively more attention is paid to College Republicans - eg the Milo and alt-right deplatforming controversy of a few years ago was focused on College Republicans.

It's true that as a cultural institution universities code as leftwing, so progressives are associated with what some random professor or university administrator says about a political issue in a way that Republicans are not. That's not really fair, but we do the same things with CEOs. And university staff and faculty are more leftwing than the median American.

This isn't about College Democrats vs. College Republicans. It's about how much moral hysteria is projected around the activities of the right and left on college campuses. The right, from places like The Federalist up to the leaders of their party, constantly blares these Ted Cruz-esque lines about leftist radicals running amok on college campuses, silencing free speech and lighting the Constitution on fire everywhere they go. There is no equivalent on the left.

I disagree with your framing of the Milo story in a couple ways:
- I don't think it really escaped the Very Online world into public consciousness, but
- to the extent it did penetrate any public consciousness, I think conservatives won the PR battle, in that it was through a framing of "leftists silencing speech" and not "conservatives are racist trolls"

Possibly allergies ?

So for instance, you wouldn't consider the BLM protests and renamings of university buildings and etc over the last couple years on college campuses an equivalent moral hysteria (even if justified)? Attempts by university presidents to address students concerned about white supremacy? Hiring diversity officers and Black Studies faculty? My view is that progressives have been more active and successful about trying to change universities over the last few years than conservatives (at least, prior to the last couple years of Trump), and it has somewhat predictably sparked a backlash from conservatives. If you interpret this as conservatives talking more than progressives about universities, okay, fair enough. I'll agree that Republicans are more likely to talk about whatever crazy things those campus radicals did this week, but that is because that is their specific criticism of the university. Progressives are more likely to talk about American imperialism or white supremacy or neoliberalism and its impact on the university. It seems to me that the main difference is that conservatives focus criticism towards the other party, whereas the progressive criticism is towards both parties. Thus, it doesn't get amplified as much.

I agree that conservatives won the PR battle here, but that is because many liberals believe racist trolls shouldn't be silenced on university campuses.
