LDS Freedom Forum

Seeing EQ's thread looking through BYU's inclusivity document made me remember this. I think it works for both sides of the political spectrum though, not just the Left, even though the Left is more into subjective fantasy rather than objective reality. It really does amaze me how many people WANT to feel persecuted to the point of inventing means of oppression.

“There are 3 questions that would destroy most of the arguments of the Left.

The first is – compared to what?

The second is – at what cost?

And the third is – what hard evidence do you have?”

— Thomas Sowell

Ha, I think the third question is usually enough just by itself.

Excellent.

The Left declares their argument.

The Right points out their errors.

The Left declares their argument louder.

The Right points out their errors.

The Left accuses the Right of Systemic Racism, Oppression, all of the ills of the world, ect.

The Right agrees and gives them money.

Then they both wander off feeling like they've won.

Rinse and repeat.

I thought of this, also from Sowell:

The Quest For Cosmic Justice

People running around trying to manage giant billowing fogs of nonsense pseudo scientifically when there's nothing there. Or there's everything there, so how or why can you single one injustice out, when there are so many?

"Catch up" justice is impossible.

I will admit there are just as many on FF that are conservative on the right that are doing the same thing. making statements w/o evidence and when challenged just bullying back.... Sad state of communications.
