You can't expect me to resist, no more than Don Quixote can resist riding into action when a Dutch Waterwheel-And-Windmill Poldering Society has their yearly convention at La Mancha. I hear hoofbeats...
It's really not hard to understand. The orderly manhandling the self-proclaimed Christ isn't anti-Christian: he's handling a schizoaffective person. He may not like actual Christians or the mentally ill, but that's irrelevant to the situation at hand, that his patient is severely disturbed. He doesn't have to enable that delusion. It will make the situation worse.
Similarly...
People don't like ugly people (prettyism). People don't like the mentally ill (ableism). People don't like autistics (normies get out, ree?) The primary contention is that MtF trans are alleging misogyny and denial of the femininity, and conflate the three as 'anti-trans'. And you are doing it, right now. It's perfectly fine for people to discriminate against trans people who don't pass for those reason. I'm not a liberal, or a white woman. I don't have to be nice. If a woman doesn't look or act like a woman, you don't have to accept her as one. This is, so as far as I know, the status quo for men. Is this not equal treatment? Do men not have similar performative efforts for their masculinity?
I don't have to take their claims of femininity seriously when their aesthetics and demeanor are terrible. There is a reason why the Bailey Jays of the world disappear into the ranks of the feminine gender and the Chris-Chans do not. And so, I can only evaluate them on what can be objectively observed: that those who lack the appearance of women and the behavior of women are not women - no matter how many good-thinking liberals would tell me otherwise.
Am I transphobic? No. That category I refuse to accept. But what I am definitely is not liking the ugly, the autistic, and the mentally ill. I wouldn't go as far as hating them, but I don't think that my attitude would change much if I suddenly started treating them as ugly, autistic, mentally ill women instead. In that respect, I am egalitarian in my discrimination.
No, it's not contradictory at all.
They have a (delusional) persecution complex related to their dysphoria. They believe the world is out to get them and deny their innate female nature.
But what is actually happening is that the majority of trans individuals are mentally ill men, who are obvious fetishists/have no hope of passing/who were autistic to begin with. This is a perfectly reasonable set of criteria to discriminate against. They want to be treated like women, identified as women.
But they're ugly women. Ugly women with penises. Most tend to call those kind of women 'men'. To come to any other conclusion is fantasy.
And because of this obvious fact, these individuals demand as much social deference and privilege as possible to prevent their soap bubble self-identification from popping. The oppression they are experiencing is coming from inside of their own heads - not from meany transphobes, but that internal voice that is screaming they are living a life of deception, aspiring to something they cannot have.
They are no more persecuted for their self identity then the man who thinks he's Jesus, or that lizardpeople are the world elite.

They'd be fools not to pay the Pakistanis in their own coin. The more resources tied down in counterinsurgency, the less manpower Pakistan has to point at India. The terrorists in Pakistan are, of themselves, Afghans who the Pakistanis paid to cause trouble. Now that the Americans are out, they go back into Pakistan to cause trouble. How wonderfully shortsighted of their government.
Given Pakistan's cross-border support of terrorism in Kashmir, there's really no reason for the Indians not to do the same. (Well, there are plenty of reasons. Moral ones. But we're talking geopolitics.) Let's just say that it would be a surprise if India wasn't supporting them.

If Schumer didn't like it so much then he could have whipped the senators into not voting for it. Trivial parliamentary politics doesn't deceive anyway - he's clearly the leader of the moderates! That he didn't have the courage to vote on it himself and is hiding behind his fellows makes him more wicked imo.

With no provision to extend COVID-era ACA subsidies, merely a vote, it has the appearance and character of a Democrat loss. The usual suspects on Reddit are crying foul of cowardice.
But could it have ended any other way? The Democrats are obliged to government unions, who weren't being paid: and to the urban poor, who weren't getting SNAP. Two massive interests within their base were being sacrificed for the benefit of... four million recipients? The math never added up.
You could say that the Republicans were heartless, but they have come out of it looking like fighters and winners, while the Democrats have capitulated to 'fascists'. The midterms will still probably be a Dem victory, but this act by Schumer and the moderates will not be something the #resistance will be likely to forget anytime soon.

None of your excerpts of scandalous things he said has degraded my opinion of him: he seems to be a cool bloke. Imagine on all the discoveries we missed out on because cool blokes like him were filtered out of the researcher track by useless know-nothing neo-Lysenkoists who valued political conformity over intelligence and curiosity.

I'm sure this rates as a 'hot dog' in your suffragettist tea parties, sweetheart, but you should really take a pep pill and cool off your overheating uterus. Nothing to fear, darling. Your position won't be diminished by your absence. A good-thinking man will be found to argue for your intellectual position who can voice it properly with manner and decorum and a minimum of hysteria.

I never considered the fact that Mandami was lying about the totality of his platform to get elected and he'd govern like any other neoliberal. If that's what you mean by 'be more pragmatic', then yes, that was not in the scope of possibilities I was thinking about. But unlike the other DSA dogcatcher positions, he's made big promises that require big money and big buy-in from the institutions, and there's no way to 'pragmatically' magic up billions of dollars or defy the laws of supply and demand, so I don't know what you're going on about.

The leftist project to make schools, hospitals, churches, courtrooms, home depot parking lots, and anywhere else illegal aliens may go sanctuaries - in the medievalist sense of the term - is obvious nonsense. Do they want open borders or not? The Right isn't Charlie Brown, where you can falsely claim to be rule-of-law but decline to enforce immigration ones because of 'reasons'. It's blindingly obvious they're objecting to the enforcement in comparison to... what? A claw machine from the sky? Asking nicely?
The football has been pulled too many times.

'Surely, this ancient text from the bad pre-progressive times will get the chuds to realize the ridiculousness of their positions', thought the liberal.
"Recite the verse of the Quran, the Surah An-Nisa 34," said Malik Chad al-Ahmar Basaidi, before dabbing on the crying leftist.

Mandani was a shoo-in.
Virginia flipping all blue was not unexpected, but probably pointing to the growing strength of NoVA compared to the rest of the state.
New Jersey is probably 2-3 cycles away from being a swing state, but Trump is probably too divisive of a character to do that quite yet.

By the contrary: Hanania is always wrong. If Hanania said the sky is blue and the sun rises in the east I'd look outside. At this point he's mostly Nick Fuente's hypeman and his desperate calls to authority for SOMEONE to put the naughty rightoid into time-out is pathetic. Hanania is a figure of no intellectual value and even less political valence and I will downvote any OP that mentions him as an authority on... well, anything.

Say, if you were a single white woman riding alone at the back of the bus, and it happened
A) in the 1930s, she'd get some looks: the bus driver would pull her to the front, and if a psychotic vagrant drew a knife on her every man aboard would jump him
B) in the 2020s, she'd be left alone, and die alone as everyone else walked away
Which society feels healthier?

The problem is that low impulse control people say "Ha, I'm not like those other idiots" and then mag dump at IHOP.
The truth is, you don't know who you are, deep down inside, until your life is on the line. A rational well meaning person that operates 99.9% of the time in a rational and logical manner can turn into a bloodthirsty animal in the outlier. Most Americans do not find themselves in such a situation in a daily basis.

Because you're sniffing your own farts.
Because I have a whole library worth of janny cracks if you're going to start insulting the users. I've been holding back, because I am a well mannered boy, but if you're going to break that gentleman's agreement then I don't have a reason to hold back. I assume that because of this precedent, I can volley back and make predictions about the moderators in general?

If I was offended, you'd know it: I have a medly of mauve, a profusion of plum, a violence of violet for those who get my goat.
I'm tired of limp-wristed passive-aggressive talk from people that should know better. If you have an argument: present an argument. If not, fuck off.

No, there is one screen: Hasan's defenders telling us to not trust our lying eyes. There is some merit to the post-truth era but this one is not it. How can you claim it to be two screens if you've never seen it for yourself?

It's not just a video. When you livestream your life, it's impossible to hide what you do and who you are. Is the outrage fueled by partisans who hated him to begin with? Yes. But that doesn't diminish the fact that it happened. Lorenz is not speaking truth to power, but is a proxy defending her master in the LA streaming scene after he changed his story too often to be credible.

Everyone involved in the production of alcohol is productive: anything else is a luxury good that can be cut in times of austerity. Of course, you need a military to defend your distilleries, a road network to connect those distilleries to hops and barley farms, as well as to their final markets. Maybe a bauxite mine to get the aluminium to can it all. And then a tax collecting scheme to ensure that those militaries are paid. Oh, and I suppose all those beermakers, soldiers, farmers, and miners need wives, too. So we'll need a few women around.
With those necessary individuals, civilization can be preserved.

Japanese emperors in a certain period would abdicate to gain more power, and the current ruling Emperor would be just a puppet.

Hanania is the Ibram X Kendi of white people.
There's the academic subject of dueling, which has rules and codes of conducts strictly observed by teachers. And there's wizard-war, where all participants are thinking of creative ways to kill each other.
Harry may be younger and less academically experienced than his peers, but at that point he's fought a giant spider, a troll, an evil tree, a basilisk, a board of animated chessmen, death eaters and several incarnations of Voldemort. That is probably more danger than most adults experience in their lifetimes. He has experience of adults trying to kill him (in fact, he's famous for it) with magic and that is probably something that cannot be taught, only experienced. I don't think he was teaching them magic: I think he was teaching his comparatively sheltered compatriots how to fight, ala Wolverines.
