Your stock response whenever someone observes the lop-sidedness of your particular target (blacks, or women, or Muslims, or leftists, etc...) is "Should ______ (put int the target" not be criticized".

They were not "observing lop-sidedness[sic]" but attacking me every time I bring up anything bad about a woman, so-called POC or a Muslim.

But your comment about lopsidedness merits further discussion. Yes, there is a lopsidedness. Just like there is a lopsidedness in the choice of targets so-called progressive posters choose.
But what is the cause of that lopsidedness? It's not bias on my part. It's because for example black women are overrepresented in the Democratic Party, and especially on the far-left fringes of the Democratic Party. Just like white people are overrepresented in the GOP.

Another thing. When we talk about people in Congress, dumbfuckery is strongly correlated with ultrasafe districts. SJL represents a D+23 district, MTG represents a R+22 one. It just happens that ultrasafe districts for Democrats are almost always in urban areas and often have black representatives, just like Republican ultrasafe districts tend to be in rural areas represented by whites.

Take Georgia. Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot and a conspiracy theory peddler. My former representative Cynthia McKinney likewise was an idiot, conspiracy theory peddler and an outspoken antisemite. The only reason she managed to survive in Congress for as as she did was that her district is D+27. She has been replaced by a man who is not a conspiracy nut or an antisemite, but still not very bright. Here he is expressing concern that the island of Guam might capsize.


It is particularly blatant straw man. In this case, no no one even hinted that only white people should be criticized which makes your response epically ironic.

It's mostly about rote memorization and bullshitting. The latter is probably why so many gravitate toward politics. And also why so many get into trouble making statements about anything real. Like the rocky (not gaseous) ball that briefly blocked the Sun on Monday.
I realize that engineer types think that engineering is the most rigorous discipline there is but boring as hell is not the same thing as rigorous.
Click to expand...
Did I say that? There is rigor in many disciplines. Natural sciences for one. Math being another. Of course, engineering is nothing but applied science and math, so you would call that biased.
I do not hold the legal profession in very high regard. Too much self-dealing. Especially in the US, which is one of the most overlawyered countries in the world.
Click to expand...
It’s obvious that you hold any profession that is not applied mathematics or physical sciences in contempt. What is funny is that you ( rightly) give me a very hard time about imprecision in my typing but practicing the law is very much about detail, accuracy in language and terms and consistency while also applying it to specific circumstances and situations

I 100% get that it’s not how your brain is organized or thinks —mine, either. But I appreciate that it is indeed a kind of science and a kind of art, intertwined, and dealing with various aspects of human and corporate behavior.

As for rote memorization-hah! So is organic chemistry on a certain level but honestly it is about a deep understanding of what all of those cases, what all of the statutes, what all of the precedence means and how it is pertinent to whatever is before the court right now.

Your explanation does not address the observed consistency in your targets: people of color and women.

Aren't most American politicians white (and male)? So statistically any politician being criticized or mocked will tend to be white, and usually male.

Well, gee, big D, there you are on page 8 of 'GOP: the party of idiots', producing a litany of Kamala Harris positions that you say are stupid. Now, didn't you see that was a thread that was meant to focus on GOP shenanigans? Whatabout that?
Click to expand...
That was only to highlight the hypocrisy of your ilk attacking people for sexual nicknames for "Heels Up" Kamala Harris, while gleefully making fun of Boebert's handjob. Your behavior in this thread is continuing this double standard that is rife among the fauxgressive posters like you.
Click to expand...
hYpoCRiSyyyyy.

Kamala has not demeaned herself in any way and your blatantly misogynist degradation of a woman who obviously did NOT jack off her boyfriend in a theater like Boebert did with her "family values" is a spectacular display of HYPOCRISY.

How is it possible that you don't know the difference? Are you a small child, not yet developed enough to discern right/wrong in adult matters involving sex?

A guy who loves demeaning comments about any woman who is not a right wing authoritarian hypocrite, here you are trying to pretend that Boebert's blatant behavior shouldn't be ridiculed for the lowlife hypocrisy it actually is while Kamala can be peppered with the degrading, demeaning verbal weaponry of stunted boys who hate women (except for the women who are caught jacking off their boyfriends in public).

How is it possible that you can't figure out this glaringly easy puzzle? Why not just correct your mistake instead of constantly dragging us into your hate and confusion about women? Why should we keep putting up with this shit?

Everyone should be criticized. But oddly you only focus on black people. It's just a strange fixation.

It's mostly about bullshitting, esp. in systems like the US where juries are still employed.
I do not think that it is a coincidence that so many formally very educated people who say idiotic things happen to be lawyers. In their profession, reality doesn't matter.

Orgo requires more memorization than GenChem, but as long as you know where your electrons are going, you should be fine.

I dunno about that. I know Public defenders who have enormous caseloads. And for every PD, there is a prosecutor…..

Given your opinions about juries and the US legal system, I’ll give your posts about lawyers and legal cases every bit of respect they deserve.

Keeping track of electrons is not such a big deal. Way back in the day, a lotta organic students about died having to memorize the nomenclature.

Practicing the law is about language and meaning and precedent. That’s not actually bullshit but being well spoken is helpful
 
Oh, you fixed it and made it halfway intelligible. So let me reply again.

I already explained why the criticism appears lopsided - it's a reflection of demographic lopsidedness in the Democratic Party, especially the left-wing fringe of it as well as in safe districts where idiots tend to concentrate.

Trust me, had it been a white male congresscritter who claimed that Moon is a planet made of gasses but that we still might be able to live there depending on what those gases are, I'd still have made fun of him. It is not my fault your girl Sheila Jackson Lee said this and not, for example, Dan Goldman or Mike Levin.

There is no consistency - I have attacked and ridiculed whites and men when appropriate as well.
But when I criticize somebody white and/or male, race and gender cards do not get thrown around.

The irony is strong.

No irony. Your ilk will play the race card whenever somebody black and left-wing is criticized.

I don't know about Derec but for me the biggest red flags are that she is 1) Stupid, 2) A lawyer and 3) Black. There are plenty of stupid congressmen to go around which is problematic in its own right. But at least those type of individuals fit the average realm of possibility. For example, Trump talks like a 4th grader but he never became a lawyer. So that makes some sort of sense that Trump could have low verbal skills yet still be skillful in other business endeavors .

But far more troubling is this possibility. That this female congresswomen has extremely low IQ yet somehow got passed law school. Do you know any stupid white people practicing law? Maybe someone extremely rich could do that but in her case it looks like she got through only because she is female and black.

Examples like this totally make me not want to ever hire any female or black lawyers. And that is what is most troubling of all.

That's the heart of the matter - the mechanisms. Mechanisms dictate what reactions happen under what circumstances. It's a lot easier to remember those things when you understand why and how they are happening.

Click to expand...
Yes, there is memorization. Suffixes, prefixes, orders of precedence. But far less than many other fields.
(R)-2,3-dimethylbutanoic acid or whatever is not that hard compared to remembering Frankfuter v. McAndrews from 1987 or some other obscure case.

It is when trying to convince a jury of something you know is not true - like that OJ did not do it.
But I see you discount my opinion just because I am critical of the completely outdated jury system.

Your explanation reflects your idiosyncratic view of "concentration: and "left wing". Or to put it another way - does the race and gender influence your "judgment" as to who is left wing fringe or is there is an actual concentration of blacks and women in the "left wing fringe".

Does your silence on the "right wing fringe" (except when called out about it) which is overwhelmingly white also reflect the demographic lopsideness of it?

Overall, most are male, and most are white, but most are not white AND male.
Also there is a difference by party. Democratic Party is far less white, and somewhat less male than American politicians as a whole.
So statistically any politician being criticized or mocked will tend to be white, and usually male.
Click to expand...
That's exactly my point. The left fringe of the Democratic Party is strongly female and so-called "POC", including black. Safe districts for Democrats tend to almost universally be represented by "POCs".
So statistically, left-wing Democrats being criticized or mocked will tend to be "POC" and female.
