Ashley Babbitt was a neonazi and a racist too.

Retweeted a tweet with a black lives don't matter hashtag.

Yeah she wasn't a very good person, but she was also a victim of Trump's lies on top of that. Anyone who believed Trump's lies was a victim in a sense though they definitely were not a victim in every sense. In most senses they were perpetrators.

I'm sure you have perfectly innocent reasons for getting mad about Juneteenth and Pride Month

I'm bisexual so WTF are you getting at? Im not mad about these months being celebrated. I'm mad that companies are trying to gain unearned good will from it to distract from highly problematic elements in how these companies are run.

My general point is that these companies aren't progressive enough and that these advertisement campaigns are low effort and don't really result in social change.

I don't care about a company running a symbol that represents diversity in their ads. I want a company that is actually run by a diverse group of people who operate their company ethically.

Sorry, bit virtue signaling means very little. I'm glad that many left wing people are now starting to realize this instead of crying tears of joy everytime they see a company do their logo in rainbow colors.

It is certainly a better reality that corporations are pandering wokeness, but people should be asking for a lot more than advertisements that try to make companies look socially aware and responsible. They need to actually be socially aware and responsible.

I never said she wasn't a terrorist. Again, if you felt that was my point then you either need better reading comprehension or you think in very black and white terms.

I pointed out that people here seem super eager to call her a terrorist and people respond by using the word terrorist three times in a paragraph.

I generally don't like throwing around the word terrorist, because it can be a problematic word though technically it does fit in this instance.

I just think it is sad how eager people are to condemn Babbitt and even her family when clearly she was a huge victim of Trump's lies. Like at least shame the capitol rioters that still have their lives instead of her. Babbitt is gone and left behind a grieving family. Like have a little bit of decency.

But a lot of hard line leftists ITT are basically way more like Trump supporters than they'd care to admit and love cheering on their side and also don't like having consistency in their opinions.

Also, isnt it still good for them to normalize these positive things?

Would you prefer they just ignore positive causes? Wouldnt it be worse if they didnt even do something as cheap as fire off a tweet or rainbowify their logo for the day?

Idk its one thing to say its not enough, its dumb to get mad that they do anything though

Sidenote: most corporations are less racist/bigoted than you think. The folks running them are well educated and often fairly well exposed to different cultures as a result of their work.

Yeah you are welcome to lick those corporate boots if it makes you happy

It is very sad to watch companies put effort into virtue signaling, but not necessarily be a good company to work for.

She fits the definition of a terrorist. Accurately calling someone a terrorist isn't "getting off when calling her a terrorist."

If you see someone working in a dental office performing a root canal procedure, it's fair to call that person a dentist. You aren't "getting off on calling them a dentist."

There's definitely room for nuance in the fact that her actions are completely justified if she truly believed that the election was stolen, and she has a duty to defend the country.

So in a way, I put most of the blame onto Trump, conspiracy theorists, and right wing media for pushing a lie that the election was stolen.

But Ashley still has a responsibility to form her actions over what the truth is based on actual evidence, and not what she just wants to believe.

No doubt I highly question anyone's critical thinking ability who gets a whiff of Qanon. It still takes malevolent people whose intention are to trick people to make this stuff happen. She was still a victim in many ways besides also being a perpetrator willing to be violent.

This case is incredibly interesting because far left and far right people basically just swap out talking points and fail to understand any sort of nuance.

All I will say is that although I sometimes recognize a necessity to law enforcement taking a life I'm still generally against it.

Got to feel pretty bad for her family with what happened. Not exactly saying I agree with what they're trying to do, but they mostly seem like innocent and heartbroken people.

Honestly, I question any LGBT person who doesn't research their baker before asking for a cake to be made. I think discriminating based on LGBT status in relation to cake making is stupid, but so is LGBT people fishing for a lawsuit.

Like as stupid as it is to not bake a cake for the purpose of being discriminatory it's also pathetic seeing people clutch their pearls over someone not making a cake for an LGBT person. This is all just really petty stuff. I don't give a flying crap about an LGBT person having trouble finding someone to make them a cake. I care about suicide rates in LGBT youth.

Compsognathus posted...
People too often look at privilege as a binary you have it or you don't thing without realizing there are many types of privileges that can have varying amounts of impact on your life depending on where you are or what you are trying to do.

White and male privilege are mostly commonly talked about because they are most readily observable in greater American society at large. Generally speaking if you are white and male, life will be less difficult for you than it would be for someone who was not white or male when all other circumstances are the same. That isn't to say you didn't have a hard life. It isn't to say you didn't earn your accomplishments. Your privilege is not a negative against you. That only happens when you willfully deny its existence.

But privilege exist outside of white or male. Female privilege absolutely exist but it just has less obvious impacts. But there are definitely parts of society that being female has advantages over male. A good example is in child custody.

There is also black privilege. A white person will at times be disadvantaged when dealing in areas where black people are the majority and that area's culture, which a white person has no context in and is largely not apart of is the norm. Now the key difference between this and white privilege is that, these situations are obviously much less common in greater American society and for the most part, white people can avoid them entirely. And being able to avoid cultures where you are on the outside is an aspect of white privilege.

Yes and as you pointed out white and/or male privilege is what gets pointed out the vast majority of the time. There are many advantages and disadvantages in life and we should be questioning why white and male get talked about damn near exclusively.

There was no guarantee that Ellie's death could have led to a cure and/or that it would be widely distributed in a way and not held back from certain individuals for political reasons.

There never ever was a clear cut this person or that person is in the right or wrong. There were many layers to the situation and no one except perhaps Ellie was morally clean.

Absolutely. Damn near every single RMC ever built is the best coaster at their park and there are many RMCs in the top 20s for the nation and even worldwide.

Now RMC is building full steel single rail roller coasters that you are going to start seeing more of. Jersey Devil at Six Flags Great Adventure has just opened up. Look that one up on YouTube. Railblazer at California's Great America has been open for a couple years and is a smaller scale coaster of the same concept.

RMC is only growing and you are going to be seeing their coasters everywhere. Even Velocicoaster is obviously inspired by RMC in some respects despite being made by a different company (Intamin).

It's actually pretty cool that coasters have left the whole "only way to make them better is taller!" paradigm.

Well making them taller simply isn't cost effective. You can do a lot of amazing things with a coaster that is only 100 ft tall.

RMC has been making the best coasters over the last ten years and they're mostly in the 100-150ft range for height.
