Not really, other than banning those who disagreed publicly

Good idea, bad DSL and toxic community.

Paradox of tolerance doesn't really have an argument other than it being declared "this is what happens when you tolerate intolerance"

Well he had just turned, but there are breakdowns where you can see pretty clearly how it happened. But yea, it was very unlikely that he survived- that's what everyone said. Yet it happened.

It was a joke

Religion is not and has not been particularly different from ideology historically.

Online Marxism really demonstrates that with the read "theory"(scripture). But of course it's just as true on the right, not only for religious texts.

Btw, someone saying something in the past doesn't make it true.

Maybe if they were actually educated instead of being anti-schooling...

Half of "Against School" is incredibly based, half is a bit rambly.

Drag !== LGBT.

LGBT is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, three sexual orientations, and Transgender- a modifier of gender expression.

Drag is a performance.

It's like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

Happily, alcoholism bad and the tulip bubble was dumb.

I think you're missing the point here, the knick he had on his ear was so damn small that it's way more likely it was a piece of something from the podium vs a piece of a bullet.

Why does it being small make that more likely? There is a photo of a bullet going right past his head.

The angle also mean if that was a round or piece of a round his head would have been in the way.

Do you have a source for that?

I would guess it was just sent to AP, unless you're claiming its some broad conspiracy??

Yes they did:

'“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement.'

Shrapnel creates jagged punctures.

So?? I'm confused what that has anything to do with whether he was grazed, or penetrated lightly.

They mushroom out to create a larger wound channel.

Yes in flesh.

Fragmenting nor expansion are going to happen in something as thin as an ear.

I don't endorse this Youtuber, but its pretty clear that amount of flesh takes basically no energy from the bullet

Trump's ear isn't a steel plate, its a very thin piece of flesh, it doesn't absorb much energy before breaking.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin#Calibration] I'm no physicist, but if a smaller and much slower BB penetrates over 3.3in through solid flesh, I think the less than half an inch of an ear will not absorb much of the bullets energy.

Read the first sentence

Do you have a source?

Extremely fast objects don’t slice you nice and cleanly.

What? If is a light graze, yes they would just scrape(or even penetrates thin cartilage)- even if its hollow-point if the target is thin enough.

Yeah that's fair, I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt so much as just how I heard it(based on his voice, he wasn't talking normally- instead he sounded like he was quoting), but there's definitely two possible ways to interpret it.

Arguing against laws that prohibit sexual exploitation with high tech tools

I think it's gross but, it's not sexual exploitation unless people writing homoerotic fanfictions about YouTubers is also sexual exploitation imo
