But I do not find his statements more offensive that the feelgood, ignore reality fucking lies the other side tries to pawn off.

Happy Thanksgiving! Would like to see you quote specific example(s) of "the feelgood, ignore reality fucking lies the other side tries to pawn off" so I can compare which is more offensive. Thank you!

I’m sure you would love to have me do that work, but I have no great desire to again belabor the obvious. You do not need that to understand my point.

The pendulum swings in ever wider arcs, sadly. But I do not find his statements more offensive that the feelgood, ignore reality fucking lies the other side tries to pawn off.

Good point about the wider arcs.

The politician lying spectrum goes from spin to exaggerations to lying to vulgar lying. Trump has clearly shown where he’s at.

It’s funny misspelling potato used to be controversial, and calling someone a macaca used to destroy political hopes.

You assume it (whatever it is) to be obvious, maybe it’s obvious only in your mind. Without clear expression, no one knows what you’re talking about.

This quote is less offensive than the remarks quoted in the opening post.

Also less offensive than the remarks quoted in the opening post.

How about 'Racial discrimination is ok, in fact it's morally required, as long as you get the valence right.'

About as offensive as the remarks quoted in the opening post.

Did you get that quote from somewhere or you just paraphrased?

[jon-nyc]

In practice the believers tend to euphemise it. Though Ibrahm X Kendi is honest enough to call it discrimination and has certainly expressed the same sentiment as the quote.

[jon-nyc]

Example: ‘The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination’.

It doesn’t take much reading of him to figure out that he thinks that such discrimination is a moral imperative.
