And your support of Twitter kicking him off is horrible, but you're in the majority so you must be right.

Oh. Are you talking about that orange guy who tweeted that players should be banned from the NFL for taking a knee?

LIST: All The Things Donald Trump Has Called On People To Boycott


That Cancel Culture bullshit... amirite?

[Marko69]

Can't help but read all those Trump tweets the Alec Baldwin way. It's quite entertaining.

[dpatnod]

Yeah, it's a real loss not to be able to get those important updates.

How could anybody ban that? Who would ban things? Losers that's who.

You can get a college degree in "political science" <snort> which is advanced training in rationalizing and apologizing for state violence.

I'm curious about the placement of the snort. Is it for the "science" designator or more just your general opinion on the study of "states"?

I'm genuinely curious because I made reference early in my international relations graduate studies that the "ology" is far more art than science. A stack of text books, countless hours of reading smart people's work, stacks of qualitative and quantitative examples, a few very patient professors, and a Capstone project later; I came to a very different and much more humble conclusion. My opinion (as meaningless as any other) is that there is as much "science" via empirical evidence employed in the study of all things political as there was in my aeronautics coursework. I was way more encouraged to question the "givens" of Machiavelli than I was to question Isaac Newton.

And if it is the latter point, it may be the specific school or professors I learned from, but not one of them attempted to apologize for states, or sub-states. In fact, the assignments typically challenged the governance by violence even in the face of empirical data that would support it works. The pursuit of understanding why violence is employed certainly didn't rationalize it as an appropriate measure of any sovereign collective, state or otherwise.

I'm trying to digest your message for the sake of dialogue, but that one sentence seemed as sideways as a morning pee through a grapefruit-sized swollen prostate.
