This is a pretty common perception of White Identity that should definitely be talked about more. Nobody wants to be left out of shit, but the fact that Whites literally cannot handle it...

Science and Religion - in brief
teachthemhowtothink:
Wow. So that little story about my son and me last night has gotten over 200 notes already and is still going. Usually my posts reach a very small audience of non-believers so explanations and clarifications aren’t necessary. This one has gone a bit beyond the usual crowd. :-)
First, there is no one way to parent and eliminating religion isn’t a requirement for raising...

If anyone can wire me money I can get it from a...

A New Dark Age →
Most scientists, on achieving high office, keep their public remarks to the bland and reassuring. Last week Nina Fedoroff, the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), broke ranks in a spectacular manner.
She confessed that she was now “scared to death” by the anti-science movement that was spreading, uncontrolled, across the US and the rest of the western...

Greek protester who resisted Nazi rule turns fire... →
bbcity:
The specific article is from August 2011, but the relevance vis-a-vis Sunday’s events is obvious.
Seventy years ago Manolis Glezos scaled the walls of the Acropolis to tear down the swastika, hoisted over the monument that Hitler had triumphantly described as a symbol of “human culture”. This single act of defiance – the first direct action against Nazi rule in Greece – would go on...

The group believes that Wojick’s project has “potential for great success,” because he has “contacts at virtually all the national organizations involved in producing, certifying, and promoting scientific curricula.” The document explains that Wojick will...

wespeakfortheearth:
Dear friends,
When we started the Keystone fight there were just a few of us, and no one thought we had a chance.
But with hard work and lots of great organizing we scored an unlikely victory when the President eventually rejected the pipeline last month. However, the oil industry’s representatives in Congress are eager to undo that, and it looks like a deal could be...

Republicans Retreat on Domestic Violence →
cognitivedissonance:
It’s as terrible as you think:
Even in the ultrapolarized atmosphere of Capitol Hill, it should be possible to secure broad bipartisan agreement on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, the 1994 law at the center of the nation’s efforts to combat domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. The law’s renewal has strong backing from law enforcement and groups...
