What about all the countless living creatures who exist in her habitat? Wake up. We are destroying that very habitat. Yes, the actual ball of rock and magma called the "planet" will survive a long time, but it's inhabitants are in grave danger. Countless species are already extinct due to human actions, the oceans have literally 50 percent of the fish they had in the 70s, atmospheric CO concentrations are sky high (pun intended), the list goes on and on. Hell, even the fucking ozone layer still isn't fixed. And the only reason any of this is happening is because of humans and their lust for wealth and shiny useless garbage. These are not alternative facts, these are the real kind of facts. The kind that will not be remedied unless we make massive course adjustments right now. It's not fair to future generations to trash the planet and expect them to fix it.
That doesn't make it meaningless. It's no more meaningless that the words coming out of your fingers, or any work of art, or editorial essay, etc...
It's just not a "clock" per se.
Are you insane? Those books get banned by right wing religious nutjobs because they contain ideology that threatens their control and identity. Wake up.
Or to put it another way, social justice is the advocacy of treating people with respect. Which clearly threatens some people's egos because their entire identity and sense of status is predicated on social injustice.
Except that SJWs have people's rights in mind, whereas racists are just racists. One is actually fighting for a better world, the other is espousing racial oppression. The right just doesn't like SJWs because it threatens their feeling of entitlement to say and do whatever they want because they're "Americans".
It's bad when it's portrayed as a novelty like something at the circus. "Pay $10 to get a photo wearing the mystical Jap kimono! Impress your friends!"
That's what people were complaining about. Taking something sacred and meaningful to the Japanese and turning it into a banality.
Which is why I said the origin doesn't matter. Nobody is forcing you to not say it, but if it's pissing off my friends and neighbors what's the harm in acquiescing? It shows people that you're not a selfish dickhole and are considerate of others. To me it sounds like you just like being a dick, or hate being told that you are because it might be true.
Uh, no. I'm pretty sure the Bible says that Jesus wore a muscle shirt and rode a Trex while gunning down faggot liberal commie Muslims with an American-made AR-15. I mean, I haven't actually read the thing, but that's what my pastor told me.
It's Russia. Trump is executing the Russian propaganda playbook play by play. Flood the media with so much disinformation that it makes it impossible to know what's true. That way, it becomes trivial to dismiss any criticism as "fake". Welcome to Soviet America.
What do you find so threatening about being nice to your fellow humans? If little people don't like being called midgets, what's the harm in not calling them midgets? Or are you such a slave to your pride that you can't tolerate any external influence on your behavior?
I suppose you think the FDA, FCC, SEC, FTC, USDA, and OSHA are also useless relics and do nothing to protect Americans.
You clearly have no idea of the apocalyptic wasteland that America would be without these regulating bodies.

So then every symbolic representation of feelings is meaningless.
It's cute that you think rising oceans are the only consequence of climate change.
climatic changes are something that we can adapt to
Hello? We're not the only things on the planet. If the bees die, we die. If the oceans die, we die. Not everything is about humans.
Mother Earth can take care of herself

Yeah, because a nuclear war with Russia is the only conceivable route to doomsday.
just doesn't provoke the same emotional reaction as global thermonuclear war.
That doesn't make it any less real. The people on the Titanic didn't see icebergs as some boat-ending event. Until it happened.

CNN is not the president's press secretary.
The thing that matters is the propaganda and that we now have yet another president who has no problem with lying to America.

Then why are all the Trumpsters upset when we call them out as being racist?

Or maybe Animal House, but the homoerotic version where it's just rich white dudes sucking each other off in boardrooms for political favors.

Uh wat? Trump has/had an apartment literally made of gold. But yeah, he's just common folk.
How exactly have you "suffered" under Obama?
were health services. im sure that cutting off their funding will have really positive effects on millions of children's lives...

They're called "Congress".
In Soviet America, government owns you!
