“Progressive” is born out of trying to rebrand. Whatever label you choose, the media will define it.

You have the media saying empathy is bad. You are never going to win against the media by policing labels, that is what they do. You win by staying on message about the issues and policies.

“do whatever if can to achieve it”*

• which includes misinterpreting the intent of the goal in order to achieve a goal

My brother in christ, you accuse me of what you yourself are doing. One side lives in an open air prison and the other has built that prison, including many of the tunnels. When a slave murders someone in pursuit of their freedom it’s not a good thing, but it is not the fault of the slave. There’s your difference!

Way to both sides the “conflict” when one side is succeeding in a genocide. Judging what a population does in their struggle for existence is missing the forest for the trees.

This is what I expect our leaders to do. People with far less privilege have been putting their lives on the line while congressional chuckle fucks write stern letters.

This. See how the hormuz crisis has caused many to pivot to renewables.

So if the government passes those same laws without the intent of genocide then it isn’t genocide? Like China is saying the intent is harmony, not genocide.

Intent or not, the outcome is there. You think the Irish immigrants decided on their own to forget their home language? They were derided as non-white and their language was part of that non-white identity.

You could probably talk the same people who lost 98% of their “investment” to buy the dip

Parent asked “how”, saying there isn’t any is answering a different question. I am dumb, though maybe for different reasons

Unfortunately this.

Example: Many Americans don’t speak their native tongue.

The harder part is resisting to respond to adhominen attacks

All propaganda is lies, even when one is telling the truth.

More like banning hate crimes.

The same way the United States is a union of multiple ethnicities: banning hate crimes (ie crime that targets an ethnicity) and guaranteeing fair trials under the law.

The excellent traditional cultures of all ethnic groups are integral parts of Chinese culture. The State upholds the guidance of advanced socialist culture in the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional cultures of all ethnic groups, and supports the promotion and dissemination of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The State respects and guarantees the learning and use of the languages ​​and scripts of ethnic minorities, promotes their standardization and the development of their information technology capabilities, and supports the preservation, compilation, research, and utilization of ancient texts belonging to ethnic minorities.

If you want me to explain something then just ask. And no, I don’t think you having an opinion that democracy has it’s limits is preventing families or friends from acting differently.

I must have missed the part where you corrected me (at least beyond not being an American). If anything it sounded like you were offering more evidence. You can attack me for saying the quiet part out loud, however it doesn’t diminish what’s being said.
