Pitting UltraVires

@digs

I got off.

Sounds like the judge did too.

Legal code- I blame autocorrect again…

Ah, UV has signed on to the witch hunt theory behind the Trump Org indictments. The government will be coming for YOU next.

Link?

He just doesn’t understand the law, which is pretty sad given his line of work.

Hell, I know how the law works just from being employed the last few decades.

[Red_Wiggler]

He certainly doesn’t understand corporate accounting and taxes. But warrior that he is, he won’t a little thing like that prevent him from weighing in at length.

He’s even spouting the “banana republic” line. He has utterly abandoned any pretence of independent thought and is now just repeating what he’s recently heard on right-wing media.

[MrDibble]

Man, he’s really going the full sheet in the current Juneteenth thread…

@UltraVires

To the contrary. Make December 18 the date. It is now a national holiday. Not a black or white holiday. A national one. Like the whole nation which includes we white folks. If a few people in Texas or elsewhere, or thousands or them, got drunk and partied on June 19 for the last 100 years and still do, then good for them, they can still do it.

C’mon, he didn’t say ‘got high on the cracks and the marijuanas’!

SCOTUS: Arizona voting law constitutional

I know this is a controversial case which may cause flaming and pitting, but this simply has to be the right result. There are too many accusations of racism today. More recently the accusations have become more ridiculous like the following: This law requires a burden like all laws do; This burden, like all burdens, falls most harshly on the poor; Minorities make up a higher percentage of the poor than whites; Therefore This law is racist. At some point that accusation has to stop if we…

@UltraVires is being clearly disingenuous in this thread, pretending that this is some new topic that has never been argued before.

He even admits that he knows it will be contentious, but is clearly using dismissive language to try and piss people off.

And I know he can do better, as I’ve seen him do so in other threads, even on legal topics. He actually can sometimes seem like he knows the law when his desire to shit on the libs doesn’t get in the way.

Certainly his knowledge of the law is impressive for a layperson.

I think the Laypersons are still superior to the Cheetopersons.

[Babale]

Just saw this older post:

@UltraVires

And that paragraph is similar to what I have read. First, this is “academic discipline” by “scholars” so just listen to us, you high school only educated little ones. And “racial emancipation” and “anti-subordination”? What does that even mean? It is well poisoning at minimum.

How fucking willfully ignorant can you get? What a racist piece of shit. “I don’t understand the concepts of “racial Emancipation” or “anti subordination” but since I’m better off than minorities today, I can tell it’s bad for me, and I DON’T LIKE IT”

Here’s what actually “poisoned the well” you pathetic piece of shit: 400 years of slavery. NOT the fact that for the first time in a long time people are willing to honestly talk about the trickle down effect slavery still has.

Do Pringlepersons have artificial intelligence?

[ASL_v2.0]

No. We know this definitively due to the lack of visible ridges. Ruffles are by far the most intelligent potato chip.

[Babale]

In the ATMB thread about the Pit, we get a good example of why it is necessary. Apparently, to UltraVile, discussing racism is an “intellectual dodge”.

I’m glad UltraVires hasn’t had to deal with much racism, but to many people it is far more than an intellectual exercise. It is an everyday reality.

Fortunately, the Dope provides us with a place to point out the kind of racist piece of shit UV is.

@UltraVires

@Sunny_Daze

I think we also have to consider cases where the Pittee is confronted with things other than dishonesty, and those things cannot be addressed elsewhere. For example - racism. We can say that a statement appears racist, but we cannot tell a poster that they appear racist.

This seems to be a common theme in the thread. Why is it not enough to argue that the post is racist (which is an intellectual dodge in and of itself, but that’s a side issue) such that you feel the need to personally attack some random person on the internet who you don’t even know? I mean, you (the general you) just have to tell that motherfucker that he is racist! Just must! It cannot be left unsaid!

The anger from some people is astounding. If there is a poster that I find I don’t like, then I just scroll past. It’s good for the blood pressure and you’ll live longer

@Sunny_Daze

I think that oversimplifies the issue. If someone is racist, and demonstrates that across several threads, then I would argue that we need a place to confront that person as a community.

Fuck off sealion.

Excuse me? He has been unfailingly polite, but you two have been nothing but rude.
