biased

The internet has become a carefully controlled and heavily monitored illusion. It has turned into both a circus and battleground. Popularity is rigged and can be bought. Censorship is in full effect. Popular opinion is fabricated, and the perception of a viewpoint's popularity is typically orchestrated and manipulated by legions of paid trolls. If you want to know the truth about somebody's true popularity and influence, look to the streets. If you want to know if a person is really guilty or innocent, study the facts yourself. Never judge anybody based on what you see or read on the internet. Information can easily be manipulated by the push of a few buttons.

Whenever we want to combat our enemies, first and foremost we must start by understanding them rather than exaggerating their motives.

If you think your religion requires discrimination, you're probably misreading your faith.

All people express a fondness for truth and sincerity, yet many people prefer to live with their illusions and delusions. A person__ sincere desire to believe only what is true oftentimes does not trump their ingrained resistance to truths that fail to coincide with their deeply held desires. People reject truth because it undercuts what they wish was true and despise or discredit anyone whom offers a different version of truth than they are prepared to accept.

The history of hysteria is a history of the relation between the colonizing father and the colonized devalued other.

When we hide discrimination under the guise of 'religious freedom,' we make a mockery of human rights.

Implicit [in the psychiatric literature] is a set of normative assumptions regarding the father's prerogatives and the mother's obligations within the family, The father, like the children, is presumed to be entitled to the mother's love, nurturance, and care. In fact, his dependent needs actually supersede those of the children, for if a mother falls to provide the accustomed intentions, it is taken for granted that some other female must be found to take her place. The oldest daughter is a frequent choice... The father's wish, indeed his right, to continue to receive female nurturance, whatever the circumstances, is accepted without question.

I expected, as I approached the corporate world, to enter a brisk, logical, nonsense-free zone, almost like the military - or a disciplined, up-to-date military anyway - in its focus on concrete results. How else would companies survive fierce competition? But what I encountered was a culture riven with assumptions unrelated to those that underlie the fact- and logic-based worlds of, say science and journalism - a culture addicted to untested habits, paralyzed by conformity, and shot through with magical thinking.

Whites saying 'make America white again' is like millionaires saying 'make the wealthy rich again.

Urging an organization to be inclusive is not an attack. It's progress.

People often call fighting racism being 'PC' when they don't want to confront their own prejudice

Saying something is 'politically correct' is often a way of dismissing the voices of the oppressed.

Bigotry and sexism destroy the unity needed for a nation to live.

There is nothing 'honorable' or 'reasonable' in giving a pass to those who want to discriminate.

It's not 'over-sensitivity' to ask to be treated with the same dignity and respect shown to others.

Racism is dead only to those who've closed their eyes and ears to the whole world around them.

What does religious freedom mean if we would use it as a cover for hate and privilege?

Bigots often like to say they're the ones being hurt as they oppress and hurt others. Never fall for the 'pity the privileged' routine.
