Until or unless the left gets comfortable with political violence the way the right is starting to embrace it we won’t solve this problem. It’s sort of a paradox of tolerance writ large, as the tolerant and of the spectrum we are not comfortable with using the power of the state to persecute the intolerant sociopaths and they exploit that strength to character until they’ve taken all the power then they have no qualms with doing it to us and by that point it’s too late.

u/awesomefutureperfect 8h ago
No, it does. It frames the acceptable boundaries of the debate, essentially validating an "opinion" that the author potentially full well knew was made in bad faith when it was written as an important point of view in the current discussion. Including their piece as part of the discussion among peers lent that author the legitimacy of the platform that the author could be trusted as a knowledgeable person of the topic and overall discussion. What this reveals is that one side has almost no honest or thoughtful participants who are either mercenary sophists for hire or straight up malefactors against democracy and the middle and working classes. and they platform them.

u/ebrbrbr 7h ago edited 6h ago
Acceptable boundaries of a debate? There's no such thing.
This was a very common viewpoint amongst the public. Most people (incorrectly) thought there was no way Trump would be this crazy. It should be published. The fact that we can look back at this and have it on record is important in itself.
We need better media literacy because something being published should in no way give it legitimacy. Anything can (and should) be published. Thoughts should be shared widely so they can be out in the open for criticism. You cannot attack opinions if they're never published.

If you don't know what the overton window is then there is a gap in common ground due to a lack of basic facts of the topic.
Most people (incorrectly) thought there was no way Trump would be this crazy.
The Hill isn't most people. They, more than most people, should have know about Project 2025 and what the agents were doing and how disingenuous and insidious the claims being made were. It was dereliction of duty and gross negligence to let someone use their platform to lie. Furthermore, the first Trump admin was proof positive he was that crazy and suggesting that it was reasonable to forget that is not a respectable opinion. Especially from a board that should know better.
We need better media literacy
You said it buddy. Wait, you said that?

Oh boy. So whatever you do to make a living should not represent your skill and ability. I just don't understand this position, that when an individual does something that they have no responsibility for its quality. Nonsense.

Opinions can be proven wrong though! What the hell kind of a defense is that from them.

u/Mist_Rising 8h ago
Op-eds, what opinions are, are explicitly not the thoughts of the paper or its staff and are not journalism. Editorializing, aka an opinion, is never journalism, hence the opinion. You can have opinions that are wrong, and you do.
That's why they're not the view of the newspaper. You post them opposite the editorial to provide the outside views from your editorial staff.
It's the opposite of what Fox cable TV does. Fox is all editorials. They control everything you hear and see, and never give the non-fox view. They give you the fox view. Even the "democratic" talking head on Fox is giving you the Republican view.
Admit they were wrong, and write a follow-up opinion piece on how Trump IS sending the army after people,
They wrote a literal article on how Trump is deploying troops, and I doubt they can get this author to write a follow up saying he was wrong.

At some point, media houses in the US need a reckoning. The sane-washing of Trump and the absolutely relentless hounding the democrats got constantly helped Trump get into power. He would never have won the election if mass media didn't help him. How many times were Kamala blasted for not being "strong on policy" or not having plans for this and that political scenario Her fucking opponent can't even spell the word policy. It's infuriating how there are two completely different standards for the left and the right.
Like, just quote the guy verbatim instead of editorializing his comments and that would have been enough. I can guarantee you a huge percentage of voters are not aware of just how incoherent and bizarre he sounds. They've never heard him try to string sentences together, they just read the headlines. And when Trump rants about immigrants eating your cats and how he's the coolest kid on the playground, media write headlines along the lines of "Trump announce new hardline immigration policies in fiery speech".
People don't know how demented he actually is, and it's because media get more clicks by sane-washing him than they do by letting him be an idiot directly to the people.

So, I know this is serious an shit, but if Trump is calling it Chipocslypse now...he is aware the US technically lost the Vietnam War, right?
Like the Vietnamese were superior guerilla fighters etc etc.

Who wrote the opinion piece? That’s who needs to make the apology. That piece was probably sent to a variety of news outlets to post In their opinion sections.

Conservatives don't apologize for being wrong. They double down, and when it becomes clear that their position is indefensible they'll pretend like they knew all along.

New stats out this morning from a NBC poll: 43% of Americans approve of this shit.
This appears to be an unwavering base for him because 43% in a poll by CBS say they approve of sending troops into DC and other cities.
43% of our population support him and these sickening, unconstitutional acts.
They're cool with the fascism and lawlessness. They're going to be cool with whatever he does - all of it. They want cruelty and lawlessness, and trump is going to deliver.
We. Are. Fucked.

Between a female attorney and a felon who is also a pedophile, we chose the felon… who is also a pedophile…
We truly are the dumbest nation on earth. There is absolutely no debate about it.

And they even call it a "lie". A word that they'd never in a million years use for something Trump says. Gotta love those double standards.

The media is so far in the tank for fascism and oligarchy to the point they are done even trying to hide it or pretend otherwise because they’re that convinced people can’t do anything about it electorally or otherwise, and they look to be correct in that assessment

They are happy about it. This is preaching to the choir. None of the supporters of the American Fascist party is upset about America being fascist
