  • PizzaMan@lemm.eetoConservative@lemm.ee•Rantz: Seattle students told it's 'white supremacy' to love reading, writing

    It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.

    No, it’s not. It’s defining the phrase.

    It is saying:

    • Worship of the written word

    Is defined by:

    • honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

    It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what’s worse is that they are very clearly saying that “worship of the written word” is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you’re missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.

    If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was

    If you did that, you’d get a million different answers. And that’s why they defined it:

    • honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

    they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.

    You’re just pulling this out of you ass.

    It’s super obvious propaganda.

    All you’re doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn’t there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.

    Saying “Gun violence” instead of “Violence” is dog whistling that you care more about disarming people than saving lives.

    I’m saying gun violence because that’s the topic. Getting upset over this wording is like getting upset somebody calls a ride on a plane “air travel” instead of “travel”. That’s the category of the subject being discussed.

    That aside, yes, most political violence world wide is right wing violence. This is mainly due to Islamic terrorism, which is right wing. Note that is not American right wing.

    Even if you’re just limiting to domestic terrorism, right wing terrorism is the majority of said terrorism.

    Define shootings

    I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about politically motivated attacks when I was talking about the straight white shooters thing. Gang violence isn’t really politically motivated.

    And your numbers are way off:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/

    https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N363273/

    Guess what? They have a right wing bias. They generally don’t report shootings because there’s no angle. Left wing sites do report on them because they want to push an anti-gun narrative, that and ratings.

    So when left wing sources push an angle, it’s to reduce deaths. When right wing sources push an angle, it’s to demonize minorities who are already at risk for violence.

    And you think the chosen angle for this particular case makes you look good?

    Don’t think I didn’t notice just how light on details that AP is. They talk a bunch about the victims and Joel osteen, but they barely give you her name.

    Glorifying shooters only makes copy cats more likely. The AP is being responsible.
