Looks like we are dealing with another AWOL hit-and-run drive-by troll.

He's shown no sign of ability to actually discuss. Just denouncement, so far.

The perversion of suggesting that white supremacist christian nationalists need to mind their own fucking business when it comes to sticking their noses into the reproductive organs of American women, or into the private behavior in anybody's bedroom, or into the confidential content of a legally protected minor child's counseling sessions, among a host of other things.

And...IMHO...the only way to protect American children from the racism and bigotry currently inhabiting so many American public school classrooms is to have a federally centralized public education system. Where every kid gets a complete education on all of the history, and where every kid gets exactly the same number of dollars spent on their education, and where public school curriculum is not under the control of racists, bigots, homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, etc.

That education model would be vehemently opposed by those white supremacist christian nationalists. They'd call it indoctrination. Much preferring their own brand of indoctrination.
All history? They're terrified of having to explain stuff like this

Yep! I'm sure some are tired of hearing this, but it's a drum I will continue to pound on at every opportunity.

This country was founded on perhaps the worst combination of philosopies possible...

Puritanism
Utopianism
Indivdualism

And maybe the worst of all of it...Manifest Destiny, we are white European Christians, we can do whatever we like, to whoever we want to do it to.

Manifest Destiny - the idea that the United States is destined—by God—to expand its dominion and spread it across the entire North American continent.

It's white European Christian god's dominion.

And white supremacist Catholic Italian-Americans need to understand that when their ancestors first began arriving on these shores they were considered to be colored by those Germans, Swedes, French, English, etc., who considered themselves to be nativists.

Human beings make sense only if you understand that our brains are full of things a lot like AI algorithms, except they evolved over millions of years, and change very slowly.

Did you catch the AI bug?

Human beings make sense as an experiment.

Just using a thing people are starting to understand (AI algorithms) as a way to illustrate a thing not so many people get at all (their own innate drives).

Yes, it's been a horrible and intentional destruction of indigenous peoples for hundreds of years.
