It's crazy that Trump is being used as the harbinger of Christian nationlism. It's ironically because he has no morals and will say/do anything to get himself elected.

It's never aliens. But until NASA comes out and says it, its always aliens.

But you ask anyone who knows anything about fighting and the first thing they tell you to do is to cut your hair short because it's just an easy handle to grab on to.

Not that it makes it a better argument, but the meme was that millennials were going out to restaurants for an 11$ latte and 15$ avocado toast instead of staying home for breakfast. The whole point, to them, was that coffee and avocado toast had some of the cheapest ingredients you could ever ask for.

This is called a motte-and-bailey. We were discussing a group trying to ban books about the Holocaust, and the larger concept about groups of parents being able to ban anything by whining about it enough. You put forward a different argument you think is bullet proof about banning sexual content with the implication that this argument defends the much weaker argument about banning Holocaust books or whatever books the mob may choose.

Just pointing that out. It's a common fallacy and one that feels right, it isn't necessarily done intentionally.

The freakout about sexual content is fabricated and designed to play to emotions. School libraries already ban sexual content. There's no smut or erotica at them. The small handful of books that people wanted to ban were either educational or were similar to many books that were not targeted by those parent groups and the sexual situations were not the focus of the book. The main similarity was that they were about LGBT sexualities.

Because the rules are in place and curated by professionals. What I don't want is every semi-educated group of extremists to have the ability to whine enough that they get important books banned.

We're literally the family with the drunk uncle who's really fun at parties but now the alcoholism has caught up and he just gets sad and angry when he gets drunk.

God it's going to be kind of true, we still have some hidden chambers to crack into and they probably have some "ancient knowledge" but the knowledge is going to be like "did you know our king is actually descended from the gods?" And "you deserve to be buried with these slaves, remember, only certain people go to heaven!"

Like the ancient secrets they consider important are going to just be nonsense to us.
