>harping
I don’t accept the characterization of being thorough as harping, or that anyone would need to be unrelaxed for that. Is that ironic with me being told to assume good faith?
I did.
Twice in two comments foldr quoted from a source. Both of those quotes are literally right next to another sentence in the source which is exactly the opposite of what foldr asserted.
The Affila wikipedia page section titled “Grievance studies affair” is four sentences long. The sentence right before foldrs quote, which is the first in the section is this.
>In October 2018, it was revealed that the journal had accepted for publication a hoax article entitled "Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism."
The New Discourses link does say the paper was rejected from a specific journal in the first footnote which is . The second footnote says the article was accepted. Both footnotes quoted here:
> Peer reviewed and rejected by Feminist Theory
> Accepted by Affilia , August 21, 2018
At this point I am no longer sorry for not assuming good faith from someone arguing that a reformulation of kompf could be “not that bad”.
> We're not in youtube comments here
Be civil.
From the link you provided - “Accepted by Affilia , August 21, 2018”
Don’t lie.
I’ve never heard anyone describe Mein Kampf as coherent. The ramblings of an asshole clearly abusing stimulants would be closer to the usual.
>Of course some things that Hitler said won't be awful if you literally change the key words in the sentence
The idea that swapping around the group being discussed is all it would take to make it not awful is, well, novel if nothing else.
According to Washington Post and Slate, both being rather progressive, SAT prep might improve scores 10-20 points on average, with greater effect on the math section. There is a paper on the ACT website suggesting 30-60 points.
Downward adjustments for high performing demographics can be double that.
A cup of coffee would probably see similar or better improvements than test prep.

It doesn’t and that’s Earl’s point. That would be the best way for them to have any standing, but it just doesn’t line up.
