"he was a feminist in his own right"
Muhammad first penetrated Aisha when she was 9 and he was over 50
the stereotype of male feminists as sexual predators is truly an ancient one

you will live to deeply regret the damage you're causing once all of this Lysenkoism unravels completely. please remember how confident you were at this moment that your actions were the correct ones.

I'm glad people are finally seeing it, but this was absolutely clear if you just followed the ideas to their logical conclusion. this piece was from over 2 years ago

I stopped by the Institute for Creation Research last month and discovered that having to crawl on its belly actually was a punishment for the serpent!
@JeremyShawMD
I did this calculation once, and you can take the worldwide number of trans homicides and assume they all take place in the US and it still doesn't reach the US per capita homicide rate of non-trans people unless you really juice the stats
@MichaelRapaport
lol you started with "I don't like non-Jews referring to Jewish people as Jews" then realized what you'd done and corrected to "I don't like non-Jewish people referring to Jewish people as Jews". and you still posted it 🤣

@Penn
any attempts at damage control now are meaningless. they waited until they were no longer under oath to say what should have been said yesterday
@AGHamilton29
this isn't nearly enough. it's addressing superficial symptoms rather than the root problem. they need to stop donating until DEI departments and all of the related academic fields are eliminated
@sfmcguire79
keeping DEI focused on its mission ensures there will always be a need for more jobs to address antisemitism. a beautiful bureaucratic symmetry.

in July 2023 over 50% of Gazans expressed positive support for Hamas, and over 70% expressed positive support for Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Lion's Den
@janecoaston
some people also think astrology, tarot, and creationism are true, good, and beautiful. should universities be required to have departments laundering these ideas into journals so they can be forced onto the public through all our major institutions?
@eyeslasho
I wish I could be this optimistic. but I remember when no one took me seriously cuz it was just a few college kids behaving strangely. then suddenly every major institution succumbed in lockstep to the ideology I warned about. there have been very few signs of abatement since
@zackbeauchamp
this entirely misses the point. fraudulent academics having been going overboard for like half a century and have shown no signs of stopping. there is no sufficient apology for this, short of gutting the ideological departments and nullifying the fraudulent literature
@eyeslasho
some significant amount of the US aid to Gaza ends up going to Hamas, so they paid for 10/7 too. if that's put on pro-Israeli posters they'll be accused of denying aid to poor genocided oppressed folx. that's the sick beauty of antisemitism. it's an endless Kafkaesque horror show
@JeremyShawMD
and the activists are faced with a conflict here. overestimate the total trans population and the per capita homicide rate is lower, or underestimate to make it seem higher
@wil_da_beast630
they always use absolute numbers for total trans homicides, then pivot to proportional make-up within that cohort. once you see the trick, you can't unsee it

@benappel
they demand you to "do the work" to "educate yourself", but once we do and express dissenting views they act appalled we would weigh in on ideas that supposedly have no relevance to non-trans identifying individuals but also must be affirmed or else
@mattyglesias
do you take them at their word when some say it means violent expulsion of all Israelis and destruction of the Israeli state? you always seem to talk about radical rhetoric like it could never actually mean the violent interpretation
The UK Home Office just floated the idea of criminalizing this slogan, “From the river to the sea,” because it’s regarded as a call for violence.
According to some I’ve spoken with, it really is intended as a call for a violent expulsion of Israelis from their current lands and

well if Sam Harris doesn't set up a podcast now, we'll know for sure the deep state is working overtime to keep these civilizationally important insights from reaching the masses
@WajahatAli
Interesting how you pivot to the Fatah-controlled West Bank. In case you didn't notice, it was Hamas in Gaza that just raped, murdered, and abducted Israelis and Americans. And this was only possible because they got exactly what you're asking for back in 2005.
@bendreyfuss
Western Muslims have really been bending over backward the last few weeks to demonstrate how fundamentally incompatible Islam is with the West and modernity
@eyeslasho
classic pivot between absolute and proportional numbers. by his logic, if all we care about is absolute numbers then we should never be talking about anything other than the white population. BLM's entire purpose makes no sense if all we care about are absolute numbers

@eyeslasho
the Israeli hostage posters are a form of humanizing to combat the lies about Jews from Islamist politicians, the media, and protesters on campus and elsewhere. but sure, they could be improved by adding stories about the antisemitic threats and lies spread in the past month
it’s like watching the gaslighting about the nature of Islam after 9/11 play out over the course of 2 weeks, but this time against a backdrop of worldwide celebrations of the holocaust

@monitoringbias
he's simultaneously arguing racial identity is a propagandistic capitalist myth, while reifying the black racial category by capitalizing it
- Jews became white as they assimilated into the dominant culture
- Israel is an example of white supremacy colonizing indigenous Palestinians
- It is simply a dominant discourse of white supremacy that Hamas's terrorism is uncivilized violence rather than legitimate resistance
@thomaschattwill
it's entirely predictable. I truly don't understand how anyone is surprised. all one had to do was listen to them and read what they'd been openly publishing for decades
@bendreyfuss
I thought recent events might have finally made it clear how much the left has been lying about every social justice issue they touch. But it seems like many left-leaning Jews are only able to see the antisemitism, and somehow still believe everything else is legitimate.
@eyeslasho
they mention "killings of black Americans in the street and in their homes by the police and others" but never mention white people. if we ignore the police bit, then if "others" refers to other black people their fears are somewhat justified

as much as I'd like to believe this, until our academic institutions are purged, the peer review process is reformed, and fraudulent academic literature is invalidated, I'm not getting my hopes up that we're anywhere near the end of this cultural revolution
Same outfit. Same day.
Blames Israel for the attack. Refuses to condemn Hamas. Refuses to say she has empathy for Israelis. Tears down posters of Israeli hostages.
Outrageous moral position.
It was in "revise and resubmit" status with the journal Hypatia when the hoax was forced to go public. Notably, there was no requirement for revision of the suggestion to chain privileged students to the floor.
Can I also just note that it’s kind of a tell when you bring up “settlers” as a way to downplay the Oct 7th attack since there are no Jewish settlers in Gaza. Israel forcibly removed them in 2005 so they could hand Gaza over fully to Palestinians.
The Hamas complaint isn’t Jews

@neontaster
aren't both the Christian displacement of Jews and the Muslim displacement of Christians in that chart examples of colonization by force? if those were legitimate for establishing a new "indigenous" population, how do they have any room to complain about Israel now?
@WajahatAli
people aren't inherently violent. but Islam is. when infidels criticize it, we're called Islamophobic. so then it must be left up to Muslims. but then they spend all their time playing the victim instead, like you
@neontaster
lots of Gazans don't like Hamas cuz they suck at governing, but they largely do like the jihadism. meanwhile the West Bank likes Hamas more than Gaza, cuz they're not currently being governed by them. and they also largely like the jihadism.

“I like this project very much. I think the author’s insights are on target and I think that the literature on epistemic injustice has lots to offer classroom pedagogies, I encourage the author to continue working on this project.”
@wil_da_beast630
the level of dishonesty about the nature of Islam and its connection to jihadism and martyrdom after 9/11 was the reason Sam Harris wrote The End of Faith which kicked off New Atheism. feels like we're seeing an accelerated and ideologically advanced version of the same thing

Zaid has shown himself to be a sort of crypto-Islamist. he pretends like jihadism doesn't exist, thereby tacitly endorsing it, and his analysis of I-P flows from there
