Art thou the clodpole?

Yes. Robin DiAngelo, the biblical author of White Fragility. Honestly, the movie didn’t portray Matt as attacking the movement or being a bigot. He was main actor, obviously ingenuine in his role as a white man on a journey. Matt allowed those featured in the documentary to share their own views. Ironically, the far-left individuals striving to avoid being racist ended up displaying clear racism themselves. It is almost unbelievable that these are real people.

Seriously @Saylors_Tiny_Willie, why do you post shit like this?

This guy helped one country kill people in a different country, and he didn't support his country. He’s a nut job and should be treated like the traitor he is.

I paid $16 to explore 'Am I racist?' because, as a white cisgender male, I recognize that biases are embedded in my identity by history, and no action alone can fully erase them. Understanding this, I want to confront the seeds of bias within me, acknowledge my inherited legacy, and take responsibility through self-reflection and support for equity. This is a step toward understanding my role in a system that perpetuates inequality and working consciously toward change. I appreciate how people like Matt Walsh and Robin DiAngelo take direct action, including financially supporting black people they encounter, to help repair the harm rooted in our collective shadow selves, rather than waiting for systemic change. My favorite part was when a white guy said that he feels "cringe" when he recognizes he is white. A few highlights on the worst parts of the video: White bikers from the deep south at the bar says people need to be worried about how they are going to feed their families, not the color of a man's skin. They make the same claims as Morgan Freeman that if you want to get rid of racism, quit talking about racism. They dare to say that talking about racism IS racism. The black guys from the deep south that say they do not experience microaggressions, America is not racist systemically, and claim America is a good country. Black Professor Wilfred Reilly argues that hate crime is not an epidemic in the U.S. Leverages his background—a PhD and his teaching position at the historically Black Kentucky State University—to support his perspective. Claims that the "demand" for hate crimes in America far exceeds the actual "supply." Cites government data showing only 7,000 hate crimes annually out of 20 million indexed crimes. Asserts that the media is primarily responsible for creating the perception of a hate crime epidemic. Argues that attention should be directed toward issues like Black-on-Black crime and other forms of violence rather than hate crimes. Points to high-profile cases later debunked as hate crimes, including Jussie Smollett, Duke Lacrosse, and Bubba Wallace. Authored Hate Crime Hoaxes: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War. (Note: This statement is an inverse of my actual opinions... As soon as someone starts discussing systemic victimhood, they've lost touch with reality. The reality that the overwhelming majority of citizens can achieve success in America when they accept their role in making it happen.)

It was well worth the $16 newly paid to the wire for a one month membership to watch the video. That said, if you see the clips, you've seen the movie. Being a white man and having already voted Republican during this primary, I've learned that I'm at the top of the pile, I'm a nazi, I'm racist, and there is nothing I can ever do to change my privilege. Now I'm continuing my journey to learn what a woman is. /s

Wrong. I question assumptions, evaluate evidence, consider context, analyze arguments, seek multiple perspectives, and reflect on my thinking. I am a skeptic of nearly all sources. For example, I pulled the raw data for manufacturing jobs and did my own fact checking. Independent thinking! Not internet believing!

Left, Right, and Above

1. What internal thoughts lead you to equate End Wokeness with Hitler? 2. Here is the video posted by the Washington Post Live direct. Will you watch it? The three-person opinion segment starts at 11:44. The topic leading to starts at 18:56.

Have you watched the Washington Post recording shared with context from 'End Wokeness?' What evidence is there that 'End Wokeness' changed the message through a technique like selective framing? Answer: There is no evidence and 'EW' has ZERO influence to the watcher of the reposted Washington Post content. Mature individuals use data thoughtfully, forming informed opinions through literacy, critical thinking, and open discussion. Curiosity drives them to explore broader perspectives. You have not developed this skill and show no interest in doing so.

Yeah but… Trump is a CINO… Yeah but… so are most Americans… either CINO or COSO… I’ll pay to watch the movie this weekend.

He can’t listen to an unedited recording. He can only attack the messenger, to feel better about his views… the views the media tells him to have. There are too many people unwilling to think independently.

That’s the face I give in response to your ignoring facts.

FDR got us out of the depression AND "will DT leave in four years?"

FACT CHECK: No, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff wasn't the main cause of the Great Depression because it was passed several months after the Depression had started. OCT 1929: The stock market crashed, marking the beginning of the Great Depression. JUN 1930: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was passed. The initial crash was fueled by stock speculation and an unstable economy, which led to a liquidity crisis and a drop in confidence. This resulted in the early bank runs and deflation. While the Smoot-Hawley Tariff had negative effects, it came later and fueled the existing problem.

When is the other half going to wake up?

GLORIUS Hugh Hewitt resigned from the Washington Post after he stormed off a livestreamed discussion on Friday amid a dispute with two of the newspaper’s liberal columnists that he called “the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of.” Hewitt, a contributing columnist for the embattled Jeff Bezos-owned broadsheet, appeared on a discussion with Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus previewing Tuesday’s election when the conversation turned to a lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, where a judge agreed to a request to extend in-person voting in Bucks County.

A paradox of clarity and confusion.

Make it stop. Context jackass!

Your comments about holding past presidents accountable suggest you value fairness and honesty. However, only mentioning that Trump lost 40,000 jobs while Biden gained 800,000, without acknowledging the pandemic, seems intentionally dishonest on your part. My comment on "performance accountability" is about your behavior in recent posts. ---- The Fact Check article from Sept 2024 would have sufficed - https://www.factcheck.org/2024/09/trump-vs-harris-on-u-s-manufacturing/ Manufacturing Jobs Per December Months (bureau of labor statistics) reflect that Trump increased jobs his first two years, after inhering two years of job growth stagnation from Obama. The third year stagnated under Trump (add 2K jobs), and the fourth year the Pandemic took away the jobs. Biden gets credit for the Pandemic recovery in 2021 / 2022 stagnation starting again in 2023 (added 26K jobs) and 2024 is back to losing jobs! *Pandemic Recovery is inclusive of supply chains, reshoring, and legislative acts. --- Reference Recent and historical manufacturing job trends below. https://data.bls.gov/

But if 'feels' like its 100%.
