The ‘Reasonable’ Rebels
Conservatives say we’ve abandoned reason and civility. The Old South used the same language to defend slavery.

The most important thing to know about them, they held, was that they were not the oppressors. They were the oppressed. They were driven to feelings of isolation and shame purely on the basis of freely held ideas, the right of every thinking man. Rep. Alexander Sims (D-S.C.) claimed that America’s real problem was the way Southerners were made to suffer under “the sneers and fanatic ebullitions of ignorant and wicked pretenders to philanthropy.” Booth’s complaint, before he shot Lincoln, wasn’t that he could no longer practice slavery, something he’d never done anyway. Instead, he lamented that he no longer felt comfortable expressing “my thoughts or sentiments” on slavery freely in good company.

I wish the people writing the script for this timeline would decide whether it was a serious drama or a wacky political satire or just a horror show with vampires and shit

Ahahaha, you actually thought YouTube would take steps against white supremacists?

YouTube is a hellsite because all techbros are amoral sociopaths and as should build a time machine to stop Page and Brin.

And they used to give me grief over my last name before Trump.

(I’m not actually Muslim, but border guards sometimes mistake my last name for sounding Middle Eastern. Since 9/11 I’ve told a lot of American border guards I went to Catholic school.)

The bit.ly link in the onebox completely bypasses Twitter (?), going straight to the Texas Tribune article.

Seemed kinda obvious from the name. Majorities can’t be oppressed.

Oh wait, unless it’s women.

I mean to say, people with the power can’t be oppressed.
