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

Seemed kinda obvious from the name. Majorities canā€™t be oppressed.

Oh wait, unless itā€™s women.

I mean to say, people with the power canā€™t be oppressed.

If thereā€™s a ā€œboth sidesā€, which sides? Cultures where ā€œboth sidesā€ will always have ā€œgood peopleā€? Or has it always just been good versus evil, with good and evil measured the way itā€™s always been?

The notion of there being two sides is structuralist bullshit. Sometimes there are many ā€œsidesā€. Sometimes the two loudest sides both miss the point entirely. Sometimes delusions are called ā€œsidesā€ and are made stronger by this impulse towards balance.

Itā€™s one of the reasons why I think having only two major political parties for a country the size and diversity of the US is foolish and even dangerous. It supports this idea of there being only two sides, diametrically opposed, us vs them.

In defense of a two-party system, that kind of thing happens under coalition governments too. The difference is, coalitions in the US are formed before the election. Remember the big surprise when Theresa May had to form a government with Democratic Unionist Party.

People choose which sides to set against each other. Thatā€™s my point.

Well, being a Nazi-wannabe has been working for him so far. You canā€™t fault him there.

Police arrested 36 people - journalists, anti-racists, and bystanders - so one nazi and his six friends could throw a parade for themselves.
