I like this tactic. It has the imprimatur of an official hearing by a government in exile. Yeah, it shows they don't have the power to hold hearings while showing what they could do *if* they had power. It's kind of striking and, dare I say, subversive. Maybe it's just stupid and performative. I dunno. It kinda works for me.

The destruction of America's public education system

The first thing I think of when I hear about them is the work they did following 9/11 in trying to tamp down all the Islamophobia. Just a bunch of God-fearing, spiritual folks trying to keep us from all killing each other over spiritual matters. That's my impression of the group. -

Here's an explainer to get our collective feet wet:

Lots of wild shit out there. This morning, I just learned about the speculation that his roommate might've been transmaxxing.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

The supposed redeeming qualities that I've seen cited by fans are that he was a) a Christian (not an especially extraordinary quality), b) loved his family (also not a low bar), c) was willing to shout his beliefs at anyone who could hear them (only requires a bit of hubris or self-confidence), and d) successfully built a "movement" (admittedly a great skill, but he also had access money). -

There's a lot to unpack here. One thing I'll point out is the cruelty of using social pressure to force someone into a gender that they are not. Much like forces transpeople to remain in the one that they aren't. Does this "transmaxxing" extend to actual surgery? Seriously, imagining some weak-willed, Theojon-like, but straight cis guy, to have his dick chopped off, undergo a surgical procedure to construct a vagina, take hormones, grow tits, and all that just so that he can be forced into having sex with other guys because they can't get it anywhere else. What a gotdam torturous nightmare. That's just about the most fucked up thing I've ever heard of, if it's actually a thing. -

These people are terrible at connecting dots. That's the fucking problem. These people are unable to follow basic trains of logic. They can't think shit through. -

It's been a busy morning, and I'm just now finally getting caught. @Enchubben, I'm sure you've been overwhelmed with all the notifications and angry comments. But I hope you take a moment to consider this. I wanted to reach out and offer up a simplified explanation of where your concerns, as a (I assume) middle-aged white Texan male, should rate on a scale of being discriminated against in hiring practices at the workplace. 1 - We discriminate against historically marginalized groups. 2 - We don't discriminate and are an equal opportunity employer (EOE) 3 - We actively reach out to historically marginalized groups to build a more diverse talent pool for hiring prospects (DEI). 4 - We make sure to set aside a percentage of seats for historically marginalized groups (Affirmative Action). 5 - We discriminate against the dominant group that has historically occupied this company. -

Absolutely. My description includes that aspect as well. -

The best, most succinct way I could describe it from the times I've been involved is active outreach to diversify the talent pool.
