Nope. It asks if they have different experiences. If two people are very similar biologically, and are treated very differently socially, they'll have different experiences.
How do you know they didn't want to join it in the first place? How many just decided they didn't want to, and how many decided it wasn't worth the extra hassle?
We don't live in an ideal world. We know there is discrimination. We don't really know what the world would be like without it.
"Cis" doesn't create pointless divisions. The pointless division already existed, in the form of discrimination against trans people. "Cis" is just recognizing it.
Of course they're fake resumes. You aren't going to find lots of people with essentially equivalent qualifications of assorted races and sexes. With fake resumes, you can come up with a pack of resumes, and vary the names you put on them as you send them to companies.
Alternately, do you prefer affirmative action or not getting the job despite your merits? There's still a lot of sexism and racism out there. Some people have sent out resumes with male and female names, and white-sounding and black-sounding names, and observed the response rate. Affirmative action isn't a particularly good way to fight it, but I believe that it currently is better than not having it. I could of course be wrong about that, but there's reasoning behind it.
I very much doubt you're qualified to make that statement. Things may well have been just dandy for you, but there are quite a few people recently whose lives haven't qualified as dandy.
In general, things were just dandy for many white men, and then the leftists came around asking why white men have so many of the good jobs, and actually paying attention when women complained that men were harassing them. Asking why police officers shoot blacks without any justification and walk away scot-free. That shook your little world. You couldn't discriminate like you used to. You couldn't take advantage of women like many white men used to. When you assumed that a white man with a good education who grew up eating regularly had the same opportunities as a black woman who grew up with a crap school and poor nutrition, they challenged that notion, shaking your belief that your success is all on you and not your sex, race, or other privilege.
They're going to have to do an expensive search for jurors, I'd think. That's how all highly publicized crime trials work. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Wordpress is denying nobody free speech. Wordpress is saying "not on their trademark". Wordpress thrives because people are comfortable with Wordpress blogs, and if you force them to host anything not clearly illegal you're going to hurt their business.
Let them find another host, or use their own server.
Did Wordpress host ISIS blogs? Did GoDaddy provide DNS services to ISIS? Which leftists in particular were inciting riots (anti-cop rhetoric doesn't necessarily violate ToS) and did they use Wordpress and GoDaddy? Who cares about movies of assassinations? I've seen some before, and they didn't inspire me to get a firearm and head to showings of Our American Cousins.
If you do know of blogs that violate Wordpress's terms of service, have you informed Wordpress? It's real easy to not notice such violations until they blow up in controversy.
Why would you think anyone intelligent would believe that? Races don't have the right to form their own countries, unless a group can find unclaimed land and form a country (Sealand being the most successful example I'm aware of). Nazis aren't just talking about forming a white community and ignoring everyone else, by and large, but advocating removing large classes of people they don't like from the country, one way or another. I don't see anybody saying non-whites need to live around white people, and many don't. However, in this country, rich areas with good facilities tend to have a lot of whites in them, and lots of people understandably want to live there.
While I completely agree with what you actually wrote about hate speech, I keep seeing people arguing that large swaths of people perform hate speech when only some of them do.
Nazis are fond of hate speech and often use it. Republicans in general, and right-wing folk in general, say a lot of things I strongly disagree with and contribute to campaigns against There's a real difference there, and some people ignore it. By observation, some of these people are on the right politically, and some are on the left. Too many right-wing people on Slashdot have been ignoring the distinction, and that poisons discussions like these.
Depends on the state. The Federal definition of child pornography requires that the subject be an identifiable person under the age of 18, and requires some actual sexuality as opposed to just nudity (unless you consider lascivious display of the genitalia to be plain nudity). Even as is, this leads to the odd result that it's legal for me to have sex with a 16-year-old girl (age of consent varies by state), but it's highly illegal for me to have any video of it. Girls posed in underwear and not explicitly doing anything sexual fall way outside the Federal law. Not all states have laws stricter than the Federal one.
Now, if you're saying that the police could break into the 60-year-old's house, confiscate anything that might possibly hold an image, arrest him, ruin his reputation, run him through a terrifying process, and then have the case dismissed, that's more plausible.
You're wrong. You can't force a farmer to host a wedding, and you can't force a baker to bake a cake. Now, if they run a business that serves the public with cakes and wedding venues, there are certain reasons they can't deny people transactions with the business. Nobody was asking the farmers or bakers to do anything out of the ordinary course of their businesses.
The only people that can't cope with multiple political parties are conservatives that assume that anyone that doesn't follow their group think is some kind of Communist.
That's at least as accurate. I see leftists attacking Nazis for being Nazis and right-wing people attacking leftists for being Communists, personally.
Communists are to the left much as Nazis are to the right. Right-wing totalitarian regimes haven't killed as many as left-wing, but in the Twentieth Century they killed at a considerably higher rate.
If I'm to be associated with Communist rule, then it's only fair that you be associated with Nazi rule. In both cases, we'd be projecting the worst excesses to entire political philosophies.
And racial discrimination and hate speech aren't an uncommon occurrence by the right. Antifa identifies as left-wing, but not all leftists identify with Antifa. I, personally, wish they'd go away, partly because I don't approve of violence, and partly because they make leftists look bad.
So, we had a right-wing rally in which a rightist drove a car into a crowd and killed a woman. Clearly the right wing is violent.
So, if you will refrain from blaming the entire left for Antifa, I'll refrain from blaming the entire right for Nazis.
I don't know what happened specifically, but I did read the Finding of Facts. From what I actually know, it would appear that the bakers were rude and abusive in their refusal, rather than simply telling the couple "No, go somewhere else", which is equally illegal in some states, only if you can show it was because of membership in a protected class.. That's conjecture, but well-founded conjecture. The internet harassment campaign the bakery started against the couple is well-documented, as is some of the harm it caused the couple.
Sure, it's a potential problem. Organizations have real troubles when US banks are blackmailed into not dealing with them, for example. However, there's lots of people and sites on the Internet, and if you have a decent connection you can always set up your own. I'm not real interested in setting up real laws and regulations for a problem that likely won't actually happen.
The initial bailouts were pushed by President Bush (no. 45), and then more favored by Democrats than Republicans in Congress. I'm calling that bipartisan.
Race is primarily a social construct anyway, and has varied over the centuries. (The German race. The white race. The non-hispanic white race.) I prefer to think about the human race.
"Traditionally" seems to mean pre-1993. There was trash talking about Chelsea in the 90s. If you missed attacks on the entire Obama family, you weren't paying attention. Ignoring actual history and claiming what you wish instead of what is real is poor form.
Verbal attacks by private parties are not Police State tactics. Please familiarize yourself with police states and what happens in them before posting again. Police state tactics are not a company firing an employee. Police state tactics are the person writing the manifesto disappearing and never being seen again. This happens enough in police states that "disappear" is used as a transitive verb. Please inform me when the President actually is hauled off in the night, never to be seen again, no explanation ever given, or if Melania is not seen for weeks and then is found, much the worse for wear, totally afraid to talk about what happened.
I don't know exactly what "ultra-left" means here, but there's plenty of people who can't possibly be in the ultra-left who are supporting things like UBI and free tuition and health care for all. Free tuition and health care for all are centrist policies in many European countries, and they have left-wing parties who are presumably further to the left of that. Lots of leftists (US style) are centrists or right-wing by many Western European standards, so they can't be ultra-left, and are not heavily criticized by leftists, Democrats, and RINOs.
Unfortunately, the part about facts is true. There have been massive libel campaigns against climate scientists by the right wing, and the facts are being suppressed as possible by media, politicians, and corporations.

Quick question: who has a problem with Wordpress banning violent imams? I certainly wouldn't want them to deny service to imams in general, though.
Sure, it's a potential problem. Organizations have real troubles when US banks are blackmailed into not dealing with them, for example. However, there's lots of people and sites on the Internet, and if you have a decent connection you can always set up your own. I'm not real interested in setting up real laws and regulations for a problem that likely won't actually happen.
I've found the Federalist to be at best highly unreliable. Can you link to some more mainstream sources?
