After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.
Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.
Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.
The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.
To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.
Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.
Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.
this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.
Flood it with Chat GPT-3 content, super easy to generate, and it would probably create more unique content that would be harder to filter out.
Ask it for objectionable stuff in Bible lol
I submitted this.
I sent them a copypasta

Oh my word
Massive Salad Fingers vibes coming from this. You, Internet Stranger are a god damn legend and hero that we need.
I wish I could take credit, but I don't even know the origins of that copypasta!
Man, that form doesn't verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.
No captcha, no contact info verification not even an old school forum "What's your favorite color" lmao
Does it sanitize user inputs? Or is a 90s style SQL injection possible?
Bobby Table, do it!
Use tor before they start filtering it. That’s usually what they block first. Submit from multiple IPs to make it harder to filter. Be realistic - there are websites that’ll help you generate fake names, addresses. You can even use ChatGPT to write time wasting comments. Try to avoid using real people’s names so you don’t get innocents harassed.
And just when I thought my state couldn't get much worse, we're wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.
I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.
Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)
I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn't some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.
Well that's definitely encouraging. I'm from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven't heard about any book bans here either.
I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn't meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been "dividing" people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren't racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.
I'm sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.
Just as the Salem Founders intended
Can I get in trouble for this?
No idea but holy fuck that's amazing. I'd be happy catching a charge for this.
I brought enough for everyone
Oh hey that second one is probably real.
I legitimately lol'd.
I'm doing my part
This is the comedy police: You are under arrest for being funny without a license!
You'll never take me alive! I've got hostages, and they are dying of laughter!
I'd like to submit a report to your unit
Ianal. Legally? No. It's a tip line. There is no threat of harm. Just of being weird.
Unless there's some disclaimer prior to submitting saying it's the state equivalent of submitting a false police report or something... Even then, good luck trying to arrest you in a different state.
I would love to be banned from Texas or Florida if I could lol.
Join the fun!
Who ever heard of a sad clown?
topics deemed to be “political ideology” in schools
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance! Don’t you dare play the anthem! Don’t you dare promote capitalism!
I still very clearly remember reading Harrison Bergeron in school and having some idiot school teacher act like "that's that socialism kids!"
How the hell is that socialism? A reference to income based taxation? If anything, following the big scary Soviet and PRC model, they'd have pumped Harrison full of roids and told him to rip a capitalist pig dog in half for his landing.
And, of course, Vonnegut agrees it isn't about socialism, no matter what American school teachers have been ordered to teach.
I mean you wanna be technical about it socialism is a much wider spectrum of ideas than Communism. There are definitely people who define it strictly by the presence of the worker co-op or as anti-capitalist but that's one floating idea in a nebula. Market Socialism for instance is basically a blend of capitalism and socialism where things like capitalist incentives are still maintained but regulated and systems of social support are expanded to make up for the gap of the whole capitalist "not my monkey not my circus" washing of hands of social responsibility to be an active part of a community. It's basically anti-capitalist in the same way putting up a privacy fence is anti-neighbor... So a wide spanning income based taxation could be construed as sort of Socialist but its basically the air we breathe as far as a norm goes.
But Harrison Bergeron is more like the Conservative satire of what "Cultural Marxism" looks like in practice. The strawman idea that is designed to make people clutch their individuality and random blessings like something someone wants to forcefully take away from them... It's a metaphor for things like social programs and inequality conscious measures that lift up disadvantaged people to allow them access to participate in society but not a particularly good one as it pre-supposes that lifting someone up is the same thing as crushing persecution of the naturally gifted.
Your teacher was half right, the story is about Socialism but it's a hostile framing of Socialism in complete bad faith using the conventions of science fiction to paint an overblown dystopia with hyperbolic absurd metaphors that underline the anxieties anti-civil rights advocates had when it was written.
The whole thing makes more sense when you consider that hardcore disability advocacy groups that started the path to creating the ADA basically was beginning to gain traction when the book was being written.
We gonna have to Stonewall all over again nationwide, aren't we?
I'm not gay myself, but the math is simple: is it human?...then it has human rights.
Well that's the thing, the haters don't think queers and non-white people are human.
And that is why we STOP DEFENDING THEIR FREE SPEECH
This isn't the first time the christofacists have created a snitch line and had it filled with junk spam. What makes them think "this time it will work!"
A complete lack of self awareness
A complete inability to learn from history.
The thing about conservatives is they are babies, they can’t handle an actual policy discussion and they don’t care. They just want a story about a bad guy to hate and they don’t care about any aspect of reality that doesn’t interface with that story they like. In the conservative viewpoint of the world NOTHING matters except narratives pre-processed into those little applesauce juice packs for kids that they can slurp up without having to use a spoon.
If you start talking about the boring reality of governments and movements (I hate that “organizing” is a perfectly accurate term for building movements lol but that’s exactly what the work is) how change happens through policy making and how those policies can have reallllly annoying details that make them backfire or have the opposite impact they are supposed to (CAFE regulations with trucks and gas mileage in the US) conservatives just shit their pants and start screaming at you.
Conservatives would really like to be able to enjoy their baby food without someone else (them it is always them) making another steaming turd appear in their pants, ruining the whole experience yet another time, but it almost never happens which is why they are so angry all the time. They are babies.
Conservatives like using numbers over statistics until it matters. I remember them comparing the BLM move protest to the Jan 6 insurrection by quoting property damage as a justification. I have to speak to their emotions and hopefully makes some sort of connection before I can even begin to get them to understand my side.
Exactly it is precisely like talking to a child
I'm sure they expect it. They'll try to fascism with it anyway
Let's create an AI to call them and keep reporting the person pushing the bill. And calling them assholes.
That's brilliant. Even better would be to use their voice too.
I vote we use Samuel L Jackson's voice.
Can someone try to "Little Bobby Tables" them? Just put some SQL injection shit to make the servers more of a dumpster fire?
I've worked with a bunch of government agencies and the chances of a SQL injection are low. Not because they're good, but because they'll use some kind of framework to speed up development which will have injection prevention baked in.
😔 Damn.
Ctrl+c ctrl+v strikes again!
I imagine sending memes is not illegal, SQL injection attacks might be.
And targeting a group of people is unconstitutional, fuck the laws that harm the citizens and protect the state.
But what if a meme just happens to be a SQL injection?
It is almost certainly illegal under the computer fraud and abuse act. Don't hack, kiddos.
*don't get caught (have good opsec)
No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.
To be clear, this is a cristofascist Republican politician doing this.
That's the crazy thing, there's too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people's flaws and sins.
Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it's not the job of people to act on it.
But if Christians didn't get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn't feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it's work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don't think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn't Jesus... It's Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.
Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What's more without Paul there is no Bible either.
27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren't really about him.
You don't know what Jesus really said, you can't even confirm the man existed.
Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building... There are as many Jesus' as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.
I usually steer clear of religion but the Rorschach test idea is amazing, never looked at it that way until now. Cheers!
Hey, do you have any suggestions on where i can read more on your first two paragraphs please?
Bart Erhman. He wrote a series of popular books on the NT and pretty much is the guy everyone is going to recommend to get started with. He also has a podcast.
In terms of the book attributions Wikipedia has a list I am sure.
In terms of what happened to James community I am not sure the best place to get started would be. Maybe start by learning about the purposed authors of the Gospel of John.
In terms of my assertions that Mark was recasting Jesus as Paul well you are just going to have to look around. Start by finding a basic textual criticism class on Mark. If you would like to know why I said that I can give you a breakdown of my arguments but a real historian could do a better job.
In terms of me saying that they all copied from each other again Bart. Me and him disagree about John but he he agrees with the rest. You also might want to read up on the Synoptic problem and Q, M, and L sources.
Let me know.
Thank you for recommending Bart Erhman. Hes delightful and very informative to watch/listen to.
Yourr a legend. Thanks for the detailed reply,i appreciate it.
Point of order regarding the hostility here - I am not a Christian. Closest spiritual philosophy I ascribe to is Shinto. I dislike Paul in a general sense because I am a trans non-binary person and I grew up in a town where Christian kids were awful to me mostly based off the sex negative nature of Pauline doctrine where I intuit the man was a sex repulsed asexual who really was fond of telling other people what to do and setting that up as the default state of Christianity is very good at creating situations of sexual/religious trauma.
I study the bible and the origins of dogma for historical purpose to help make greater sense of the complex nature of how individual schisms of the church impacted the world. I am aware Jesus has the same situation going as Aristotle and Confucius where what we have of his philosophy was written down by his students or his students students. It's at best a warped lens.
Still the picture painted that remains of Jesus, or this idea of Jesus... does have some identifiable philosophies. Mostly comparable to the classical stoics.
But at least part of the situation in figuring out the formation of the early church and the development of is to look at the early adopters. The bible is not meant to be be read through as a full endorsement of every rule. Leviticus for instance is "the rules of the tribe of Levi" and are essentially a snapshot of the sort of rules created by the priesthood of that particular time. It gives context of where dogma comes from potentially so that one can extrapolate what is God's law and what is cultural. There is no divorcing Paul from the modern church due to him being the core around which the whole thing aelf legitimizes... But a Church, any church or the conception of an organized church is not Christianity. As movements go using the document as a historical document (more or less in the same way we would use Monmont or Herodotus) you can recontextualize a very different conception of the religion and there is nothing really to stop you from following it.

Yes when you ignore data that doesn't agree with you, you can find data that does. There is no universal agreed upon method of verifying that the oral tradition
Existed
Accurately reported what really happen
Self-correcting so it could remove what didn't happen
Besides which we really do not have a reason to believe that a country bumpkin illiterate preacher in that culture and place would know and invoke Greek philosophy. The very word we have for a person going against God Apostate comes from Epicureanism by means of Aramaic.

Cool. Are you trying to convince me or Christians? Your argument is that Christianity doesn't have to be terrible it just is. It is a fixable problem. Which might be true since hey as I said it is all a Rorschach test. There is no historical Jesus so anyone can make him say whatever they want. Now where does this get you? In theory if multiple things happen in a very specific sequence something awful could be good, for a small amount of time.
Why don't we just cut out the stalling and middleman and just all become atheists humanists? No? Fine go retrocon the Bible and pretend you have some means of detecting what can't be detected.
My general issue with atheists is that they are generally complete asshats about people who do believe in anything and even the suggestion that any belief system other than their own should be taken seriously as a potential core function of identity causes them to go on a massive hostile tirade where they treat everyone else in the room as an idiot.
If you are as big an asshole about any belief than your own functionally you are basically just Christianity 2.0 as far as trying to flatten the spiritual landscape. When people become hostile towards you with that behavior you earn it. I don't know what religious trauma got you where you are but taking it back to the drawing board for a hard think about how you are turning it around and inflicting it on others.
No I don't think Jesus was particularly up on Greek philosophy but it's not actually all that hard a philosophy to hit upon. Most of the stoics did so in isolation because essentially it is a trauma response. Sometimes someone randomly pops up out of the landscape with a similar idea call it the convergent evolution of ideas.
And Yes, convincing Christians is in part my deal because I am queer and as a whole we need to fight these beliefs just to stay alive but Christians aren't going to become athiests. You do not fight belief with disbelief, they spit that back in your face because that's not how faith works.
But by all means act a complete social paraiah that makes the work harder by making them believe that people are trying to rip away what's precious to them. Drive them to believe they are persecuted and call them idiots so they dive back into their book and their churches with a self righteous relief at having dodged the devil once again. Ask yourself what that ego hit of proselytizing your atheism with vicious slow burn rage looks like from the outside and then look at the men on the street corners telling us how we're all going to burn in hell waving their holy book and ask yourself if your behaviour towards others is all that different.
And which group murders people like you? It's a simple question.
Everyone. Everyone murders people like us.
It doesn't matter if the person who kills you does so because they believe their God believes you are obcene or if the person simply thinks you are mentally ill and endangering their convenience to treat you however they feel you deserve to be treated. They don't even need to resort to dirtying their hands themselves most of the time. All they need to do is make life so endemically miserable that fighting to survive becomes insurmountable.
You want to point the fingers elsewhere because you want to blame all the ills of the world on the Christians but believe me when I say they aren't even represented in half of the problems I deal with regularly and there is a significant number of people of faith who are in this fight with us. While you might not share their beliefs they still deserve your basic courtesy but you seem to consider nothing but screaming at them like a rabid ape.

I donate to the Trevor Foundation and welcomed my trans sister-in-law into our lives the same way I would welcome a cis woman. While I am far from perfect there are people making an effort and people who are making a effort the wrong way. There is a whole massive difference between secular groups being slightly not optimal but trying to help and religious groups actively working against you.
You want to point the fingers elsewhere because you want to blame all the ills of the world on the Christians
Please don't try to mind read me, and I will return the favor.
and there is a significant number of people of faith who are in this fight with us.
I have never once in my life ever said being religious made a person evil. I have said repeatedly being a religious person makes it more difficult to be a good one. That is not the same. A person with one eye can still see, just not as well.
While you might not share their beliefs they still deserve your basic courtesy but you seem to consider nothing but screaming at them like a rabid ape.
I deal with Christians all the time. Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Ah yes. Your trans relative. How very noble.
Your condescension is grating. Stop making your religious trauma other people's problem.
Well, that's going a bit overboard. Unless you have someone's mummy, you can't confirm that any ancient person existed. Obviously some people existed, otherwise we wouldn't exist.
The Bible is the most printed book in history. There's more surviving written evidence that Jesus existed than some Roman Emperors. It's just an atheist belief that Jesus "probably didn't exist".
Whether you believe he was a divine figure is different. But there's more written evidence about him and what he believed than most people in history.
It doesn't matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.
This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don't think they're going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French
I can't think of anything that would apply here in terms of not snitching.
As someone who figured out my gender using calculus (mapped dysphoria over time and found the derivative. Yes that is way too much work) I may have to do a troll
Is a “chicks with dx” joke acceptable here?
Damn right it is
Acceptable? You might win the Internet for the day.
You can ever accommodate a partial derivative
oh, that was good
What was the derivative?
The transient solution was positive
Can you ... can you post the graph?
We found the source of the variable X in LatinX! SOMEONE GET THEM TO SAFETY BEFORE THE MACHISMOS FIND THEM!
The math would’ve been easier had we been dealing with latine.

Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as "Theet Sigma".
I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn't understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it's interesting.
Thank you, hope you're on a lovely path.
Thanks, it was definitely a strange experience but learning calculus gave me new frames of reference to think of all sorts of problems and that was one of my major problems at the time. It’s part of why I think that math and science are just as important as the humanities for well roundedness even if you’ll never use them. They teach you to think differently just like history and literature do.
And yeah it was fuck 9 years ago now. I transitioned shortly after and am now at the point I spent so long hoping to get to where it’s all in my past.
fantastic
That's actually incredible finding out your gender with calculus lol what an awesome way to find out lmao
And then what, send the teachers and kids to re-education camps?
Isn't this the same kind of thing some people get upset at China over?
Wtf.
Well yeah but it's okay when Republicans do it because Murica.
Because capitalism! FREEDOOOOM! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Excuse me, but as a Hoosier, I expect you to always use the full title when discussing Mr. Rokita: Attorney General, Colossal Shitrag and Future Governor Todd Rokita.
Why yes, it does suck here.
Our choices for governor are embarrassing.
In Oklahoma we have Kevin Stitt who is an anti-vaaxer corporate shit who owns gateway mortgage company, which also just opened a new line of banks... This guy is a clown worthy of Barnum.
Texan here. I'm in hell.
There’s an old Ohio saying: “at least it’s not Indiana”
In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.
In other words, they're not going to act on the ones that don't align with their own political ideology.

Thanks for reminding me that in 7th grade I knew a kid named Scotty who had a crush on a girl named Fiona and we used to sing this song for him. Gave me a good laugh, thanks.
I'm thankful they included a link to the portal. I've got some urgent reports to send them.

edit-hahahaha the article mentions that
Including a direct link to the form in the very first sentence of the article is such a baller move by the author.
I was pleasantly surprised by that! Legendary journalism!

Fear is the path to the dark side

If you want to generate some random shit for the comments:
This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they're disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there's more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.
Everything that a conservative does is in the name of their own, personal insecurity. It's all projection of their internalized fear and self-disgust.
Not all heroes wear capes
Is the Lemon Party image still around? That would be horrible...
Figures that the right hates "socio-emotional learning". Could maybe help make people less shitty, and that'd mean fewer conservative voters
Emotional intelligence is a four-fold better predictor of economic success and family stability than is intelligence quotient. The right has always been about preventing people from managing their emotional reactions. Their whole shtick is trying to control other people so they never actually have to learn to control themselves. It's literally always projection with them.
It’s literally always projection with them.
Guess why they're so obsessed with "white genocide"
I'm not gay right now but possibly when I retire I'm gonna retire as gay. This ruins all my gay plans! What's wrong with these guys? There's nothing wrong with two perfectly sound of mind adults loving each other mentally and physically. I think we just need a federal law to protect us all from religious nuts. The LGBTQ+A acknowledgement act of 2024? How about that? Need some bacon on it? Okay, in small writing it allows the invasion of Iran, and 3 trillion aid to Ukraine. Oh, and Republicans can own slaves now, but here's the catch, the slaves must be Republican originally and white and can only perform sex acts as slaves. If you own a slave you must carry said slave around with you at all times. Can that work? No? Ok if you're republican you can have sex with your own relatives given that your relatives are already Republican on their own and have down syndrome insurance paid for before the acts. Abortion will be fully illegal for any Republican male, punishable with removal of the balls or entire penile removal if it was outside of the Republican party. Also Republicans reserve the right to bare arms and run diesel engines within the confines of their garages... Preferably at the same time. Garages must be made bulletproof.
anyone got a link? I have… quite the meme library…

Oh my word
Massive Salad Fingers vibes coming from this. You, Internet Stranger are a god damn legend and hero that we need.
I wish I could take credit, but I don't even know the origins of that copypasta!
Man, that form doesn't verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.
No captcha, no contact info verification not even an old school forum "What's your favorite color" lmao
Does it sanitize user inputs? Or is a 90s style SQL injection possible?
Bobby Table, do it!
Use tor before they start filtering it. That’s usually what they block first. Submit from multiple IPs to make it harder to filter. Be realistic - there are websites that’ll help you generate fake names, addresses. You can even use ChatGPT to write time wasting comments. Try to avoid using real people’s names so you don’t get innocents harassed.
And just when I thought my state couldn't get much worse, we're wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.
I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.
Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)
I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn't some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.
Well that's definitely encouraging. I'm from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven't heard about any book bans here either.
I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn't meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been "dividing" people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren't racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.
I'm sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.
Just as the Salem Founders intended
Can I get in trouble for this?
No idea but holy fuck that's amazing. I'd be happy catching a charge for this.
I brought enough for everyone
Oh hey that second one is probably real.
I legitimately lol'd.
I'm doing my part
This is the comedy police: You are under arrest for being funny without a license!
You'll never take me alive! I've got hostages, and they are dying of laughter!
I'd like to submit a report to your unit
Ianal. Legally? No. It's a tip line. There is no threat of harm. Just of being weird.
Unless there's some disclaimer prior to submitting saying it's the state equivalent of submitting a false police report or something... Even then, good luck trying to arrest you in a different state.
I would love to be banned from Texas or Florida if I could lol.
Join the fun!
Who ever heard of a sad clown?
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance! Don’t you dare play the anthem! Don’t you dare promote capitalism!
I still very clearly remember reading Harrison Bergeron in school and having some idiot school teacher act like "that's that socialism kids!"
How the hell is that socialism? A reference to income based taxation? If anything, following the big scary Soviet and PRC model, they'd have pumped Harrison full of roids and told him to rip a capitalist pig dog in half for his landing.
And, of course, Vonnegut agrees it isn't about socialism, no matter what American school teachers have been ordered to teach.
https://www2.ljworld.com/news/2005/may/05/vonnegut_lawyers_could/
I mean you wanna be technical about it socialism is a much wider spectrum of ideas than Communism. There are definitely people who define it strictly by the presence of the worker co-op or as anti-capitalist but that's one floating idea in a nebula. Market Socialism for instance is basically a blend of capitalism and socialism where things like capitalist incentives are still maintained but regulated and systems of social support are expanded to make up for the gap of the whole capitalist "not my monkey not my circus" washing of hands of social responsibility to be an active part of a community. It's basically anti-capitalist in the same way putting up a privacy fence is anti-neighbor... So a wide spanning income based taxation could be construed as sort of Socialist but its basically the air we breathe as far as a norm goes.
But Harrison Bergeron is more like the Conservative satire of what "Cultural Marxism" looks like in practice. The strawman idea that is designed to make people clutch their individuality and random blessings like something someone wants to forcefully take away from them... It's a metaphor for things like social programs and inequality conscious measures that lift up disadvantaged people to allow them access to participate in society but not a particularly good one as it pre-supposes that lifting someone up is the same thing as crushing persecution of the naturally gifted.
Your teacher was half right, the story is about Socialism but it's a hostile framing of Socialism in complete bad faith using the conventions of science fiction to paint an overblown dystopia with hyperbolic absurd metaphors that underline the anxieties anti-civil rights advocates had when it was written.
The whole thing makes more sense when you consider that hardcore disability advocacy groups that started the path to creating the ADA basically was beginning to gain traction when the book was being written.
We gonna have to Stonewall all over again nationwide, aren't we?
I'm not gay myself, but the math is simple: is it human?...then it has human rights.
Well that's the thing, the haters don't think queers and non-white people are human.
And that is why we STOP DEFENDING THEIR FREE SPEECH
This isn't the first time the christofacists have created a snitch line and had it filled with junk spam. What makes them think "this time it will work!"
A complete lack of self awareness
A complete inability to learn from history.
The thing about conservatives is they are babies, they can’t handle an actual policy discussion and they don’t care. They just want a story about a bad guy to hate and they don’t care about any aspect of reality that doesn’t interface with that story they like. In the conservative viewpoint of the world NOTHING matters except narratives pre-processed into those little applesauce juice packs for kids that they can slurp up without having to use a spoon.
If you start talking about the boring reality of governments and movements (I hate that “organizing” is a perfectly accurate term for building movements lol but that’s exactly what the work is) how change happens through policy making and how those policies can have reallllly annoying details that make them backfire or have the opposite impact they are supposed to (CAFE regulations with trucks and gas mileage in the US) conservatives just shit their pants and start screaming at you.
Conservatives would really like to be able to enjoy their baby food without someone else (them it is always them) making another steaming turd appear in their pants, ruining the whole experience yet another time, but it almost never happens which is why they are so angry all the time. They are babies.
Conservatives like using numbers over statistics until it matters. I remember them comparing the BLM move protest to the Jan 6 insurrection by quoting property damage as a justification. I have to speak to their emotions and hopefully makes some sort of connection before I can even begin to get them to understand my side.
Exactly it is precisely like talking to a child
I'm sure they expect it. They'll try to fascism with it anyway
Let's create an AI to call them and keep reporting the person pushing the bill. And calling them assholes.
That's brilliant. Even better would be to use their voice too.
I vote we use Samuel L Jackson's voice.
Can someone try to "Little Bobby Tables" them? Just put some SQL injection shit to make the servers more of a dumpster fire?
I've worked with a bunch of government agencies and the chances of a SQL injection are low. Not because they're good, but because they'll use some kind of framework to speed up development which will have injection prevention baked in.
😔 Damn.
Ctrl+c ctrl+v strikes again!
I imagine sending memes is not illegal, SQL injection attacks might be.
And targeting a group of people is unconstitutional, fuck the laws that harm the citizens and protect the state.
But what if a meme just happens to be a SQL injection?
It is almost certainly illegal under the computer fraud and abuse act. Don't hack, kiddos.
*don't get caught (have good opsec)
No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.
To be clear, this is a cristofascist Republican politician doing this.
That's the crazy thing, there's too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people's flaws and sins.
It is neither permissible to spy on the Muslims nor to reveal their faults because Allah says (what means): {And do not spy.} [Quran 49:12]. I'm not well versed in Christianity but shouldn't snitching be a sin in itself?
Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it's not the job of people to act on it.
But if Christians didn't get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn't feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it's work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don't think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn't Jesus... It's Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.
Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What's more without Paul there is no Bible either.
27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren't really about him.
You don't know what Jesus really said, you can't even confirm the man existed.
Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building... There are as many Jesus' as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.
I usually steer clear of religion but the Rorschach test idea is amazing, never looked at it that way until now. Cheers!
Hey, do you have any suggestions on where i can read more on your first two paragraphs please?
Bart Erhman. He wrote a series of popular books on the NT and pretty much is the guy everyone is going to recommend to get started with. He also has a podcast.
In terms of the book attributions Wikipedia has a list I am sure.
In terms of what happened to James community I am not sure the best place to get started would be. Maybe start by learning about the purposed authors of the Gospel of John.
In terms of my assertions that Mark was recasting Jesus as Paul well you are just going to have to look around. Start by finding a basic textual criticism class on Mark. If you would like to know why I said that I can give you a breakdown of my arguments but a real historian could do a better job.
In terms of me saying that they all copied from each other again Bart. Me and him disagree about John but he he agrees with the rest. You also might want to read up on the Synoptic problem and Q, M, and L sources.
Let me know.
Thank you for recommending Bart Erhman. Hes delightful and very informative to watch/listen to.
Yourr a legend. Thanks for the detailed reply,i appreciate it.
Point of order regarding the hostility here - I am not a Christian. Closest spiritual philosophy I ascribe to is Shinto. I dislike Paul in a general sense because I am a trans non-binary person and I grew up in a town where Christian kids were awful to me mostly based off the sex negative nature of Pauline doctrine where I intuit the man was a sex repulsed asexual who really was fond of telling other people what to do and setting that up as the default state of Christianity is very good at creating situations of sexual/religious trauma.
I study the bible and the origins of dogma for historical purpose to help make greater sense of the complex nature of how individual schisms of the church impacted the world. I am aware Jesus has the same situation going as Aristotle and Confucius where what we have of his philosophy was written down by his students or his students students. It's at best a warped lens.
Still the picture painted that remains of Jesus, or this idea of Jesus... does have some identifiable philosophies. Mostly comparable to the classical stoics.
But at least part of the situation in figuring out the formation of the early church and the development of is to look at the early adopters. The bible is not meant to be be read through as a full endorsement of every rule. Leviticus for instance is "the rules of the tribe of Levi" and are essentially a snapshot of the sort of rules created by the priesthood of that particular time. It gives context of where dogma comes from potentially so that one can extrapolate what is God's law and what is cultural. There is no divorcing Paul from the modern church due to him being the core around which the whole thing aelf legitimizes... But a Church, any church or the conception of an organized church is not Christianity. As movements go using the document as a historical document (more or less in the same way we would use Monmont or Herodotus) you can recontextualize a very different conception of the religion and there is nothing really to stop you from following it.
Yes when you ignore data that doesn't agree with you, you can find data that does. There is no universal agreed upon method of verifying that the oral tradition
Besides which we really do not have a reason to believe that a country bumpkin illiterate preacher in that culture and place would know and invoke Greek philosophy. The very word we have for a person going against God Apostate comes from Epicureanism by means of Aramaic.
Cool. Are you trying to convince me or Christians? Your argument is that Christianity doesn't have to be terrible it just is. It is a fixable problem. Which might be true since hey as I said it is all a Rorschach test. There is no historical Jesus so anyone can make him say whatever they want. Now where does this get you? In theory if multiple things happen in a very specific sequence something awful could be good, for a small amount of time.
Why don't we just cut out the stalling and middleman and just all become atheists humanists? No? Fine go retrocon the Bible and pretend you have some means of detecting what can't be detected.
My general issue with atheists is that they are generally complete asshats about people who do believe in anything and even the suggestion that any belief system other than their own should be taken seriously as a potential core function of identity causes them to go on a massive hostile tirade where they treat everyone else in the room as an idiot.
If you are as big an asshole about any belief than your own functionally you are basically just Christianity 2.0 as far as trying to flatten the spiritual landscape. When people become hostile towards you with that behavior you earn it. I don't know what religious trauma got you where you are but taking it back to the drawing board for a hard think about how you are turning it around and inflicting it on others.
No I don't think Jesus was particularly up on Greek philosophy but it's not actually all that hard a philosophy to hit upon. Most of the stoics did so in isolation because essentially it is a trauma response. Sometimes someone randomly pops up out of the landscape with a similar idea call it the convergent evolution of ideas.
And Yes, convincing Christians is in part my deal because I am queer and as a whole we need to fight these beliefs just to stay alive but Christians aren't going to become athiests. You do not fight belief with disbelief, they spit that back in your face because that's not how faith works.
But by all means act a complete social paraiah that makes the work harder by making them believe that people are trying to rip away what's precious to them. Drive them to believe they are persecuted and call them idiots so they dive back into their book and their churches with a self righteous relief at having dodged the devil once again. Ask yourself what that ego hit of proselytizing your atheism with vicious slow burn rage looks like from the outside and then look at the men on the street corners telling us how we're all going to burn in hell waving their holy book and ask yourself if your behaviour towards others is all that different.
And which group murders people like you? It's a simple question.
Everyone. Everyone murders people like us.
It doesn't matter if the person who kills you does so because they believe their God believes you are obcene or if the person simply thinks you are mentally ill and endangering their convenience to treat you however they feel you deserve to be treated. They don't even need to resort to dirtying their hands themselves most of the time. All they need to do is make life so endemically miserable that fighting to survive becomes insurmountable.
You want to point the fingers elsewhere because you want to blame all the ills of the world on the Christians but believe me when I say they aren't even represented in half of the problems I deal with regularly and there is a significant number of people of faith who are in this fight with us. While you might not share their beliefs they still deserve your basic courtesy but you seem to consider nothing but screaming at them like a rabid ape.
I donate to the Trevor Foundation and welcomed my trans sister-in-law into our lives the same way I would welcome a cis woman. While I am far from perfect there are people making an effort and people who are making a effort the wrong way. There is a whole massive difference between secular groups being slightly not optimal but trying to help and religious groups actively working against you.
Please don't try to mind read me, and I will return the favor.
I have never once in my life ever said being religious made a person evil. I have said repeatedly being a religious person makes it more difficult to be a good one. That is not the same. A person with one eye can still see, just not as well.
I deal with Christians all the time. Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Ah yes. Your trans relative. How very noble.
Your condescension is grating. Stop making your religious trauma other people's problem.
Well, that's going a bit overboard. Unless you have someone's mummy, you can't confirm that any ancient person existed. Obviously some people existed, otherwise we wouldn't exist.
The Bible is the most printed book in history. There's more surviving written evidence that Jesus existed than some Roman Emperors. It's just an atheist belief that Jesus "probably didn't exist".
Whether you believe he was a divine figure is different. But there's more written evidence about him and what he believed than most people in history.
What religion hurt you?
All of them hurt everyone in one way or another.
So does Sunlight?
Try again.
What did I say that was factually wrong?
It doesn't matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.
This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don't think they're going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French
I can't think of anything that would apply here in terms of not snitching.
So, it could be any of the 3/4ths of sitting politicians
What religion are they members of?
Evangelical christians.
But never healthcare.
As someone who figured out my gender using calculus (mapped dysphoria over time and found the derivative. Yes that is way too much work) I may have to do a troll
Is a “chicks with dx” joke acceptable here?
Damn right it is
Acceptable? You might win the Internet for the day.
You can ever accommodate a partial derivative
oh, that was good
What was the derivative?
The transient solution was positive
Can you ... can you post the graph?
We found the source of the variable X in LatinX! SOMEONE GET THEM TO SAFETY BEFORE THE MACHISMOS FIND THEM!
The math would’ve been easier had we been dealing with latine.
? you can totally do meth in the latrines
Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as "Theet Sigma".
I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn't understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it's interesting.
Thank you, hope you're on a lovely path.
Thanks, it was definitely a strange experience but learning calculus gave me new frames of reference to think of all sorts of problems and that was one of my major problems at the time. It’s part of why I think that math and science are just as important as the humanities for well roundedness even if you’ll never use them. They teach you to think differently just like history and literature do.
And yeah it was fuck 9 years ago now. I transitioned shortly after and am now at the point I spent so long hoping to get to where it’s all in my past.
fantastic
That's actually incredible finding out your gender with calculus lol what an awesome way to find out lmao
And then what, send the teachers and kids to re-education camps?
Isn't this the same kind of thing some people get upset at China over?
Wtf.
Well yeah but it's okay when Republicans do it because Murica.

May the power of memes and the Internet trip the damn boomers.
This fuckin' boomer puke whut lives in Asswipe, IN approves.
This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they're disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there's more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.
Everything that a conservative does is in the name of their own, personal insecurity. It's all projection of their internalized fear and self-disgust.
Not all heroes wear capes
Is the Lemon Party image still around? That would be horrible...
Figures that the right hates "socio-emotional learning". Could maybe help make people less shitty, and that'd mean fewer conservative voters
Emotional intelligence is a four-fold better predictor of economic success and family stability than is intelligence quotient. The right has always been about preventing people from managing their emotional reactions. Their whole shtick is trying to control other people so they never actually have to learn to control themselves. It's literally always projection with them.
Guess why they're so obsessed with "white genocide"
I'm not gay right now but possibly when I retire I'm gonna retire as gay. This ruins all my gay plans! What's wrong with these guys? There's nothing wrong with two perfectly sound of mind adults loving each other mentally and physically. I think we just need a federal law to protect us all from religious nuts. The LGBTQ+A acknowledgement act of 2024? How about that? Need some bacon on it? Okay, in small writing it allows the invasion of Iran, and 3 trillion aid to Ukraine. Oh, and Republicans can own slaves now, but here's the catch, the slaves must be Republican originally and white and can only perform sex acts as slaves. If you own a slave you must carry said slave around with you at all times. Can that work? No? Ok if you're republican you can have sex with your own relatives given that your relatives are already Republican on their own and have down syndrome insurance paid for before the acts. Abortion will be fully illegal for any Republican male, punishable with removal of the balls or entire penile removal if it was outside of the Republican party. Also Republicans reserve the right to bare arms and run diesel engines within the confines of their garages... Preferably at the same time. Garages must be made bulletproof.
