| Antisemitic teens terrorizing Jewish teacher with Hitler jabs, death threats as NYC school refuses to discipline them: ‘I live in fear’: lawsuit [...] He also said he heard that a classmate called Hitler “the G.O.A.T.” What does that mean, I wonder? The only reason anything might be done is because... |

| If there is a lack of interests outside of US-related stuff, then I shall find a more suitable place that will accept such interests. I am hereby deducting at least three points for the forum's inability to deal with topics outside of the US that is if the general interest is heavily based on US-re... |

| And yet, in the 50s and 60s, the US Establishment promoted the Evangelical Christian Billy Graham as a figure for the right to rally round – and Graham was a man who promoted racial integration, and worked closely with Martin Luther King. Billy Graham was by no means a reliable staunch ally of Mart... |

| Going on what I’ve previously read about the subject, it would be more accurate to say that the US establishment actually promoted Evangelical Christianity to right-wingers in the 50s and 60s precisely because Evangelical Christianity provided far less resistance than other right-wing movements did... |

| A belated reply to this reply to my post here : It's rather difficult to know what your limits are, until you bump against them. To arbitrarily decide what your limits are, before you've even found them, is the same thing as self-defeat. Doing so is to decide the limits of your willingness, not the ... |

Is it primarily on autism-related or other neurodivergence-related issues, or is it a more pervasive problem? From what you've said so far, there's no way to tell whether your problem is just i... |

I've noticed that some folks here copy and paste stuff from elsewhere on the web without identifying their sources.
Should specific instances of this be reported, if any of us happen to notice them? |
