Given your inability to understand even one sentence of a relatively straightforward quote, forgive me if I take your diagnosis with a bit of skepticism.

No, they don't. If you read the entire page the rest of their messaging is very similar regarding gender/sex etc. Genrally speaking the mesage it, no matter what your upbringing, your orientation, your gender, your family structure, you are welcome. You know, kinda like that jesus dude.

No it doesn't, people just take words off the sentence which creates something they didn't say. They are eliminating the REQUIREMENT for it to be a family. Kind of like how civil rights movement didn't eliminate white people, they eliminated the requirement for you to be white to participate.

is it because people use it as a slur to hurt people different than them?

Your statement tells me that you have trouble reading. Read the quote back and try to figure out how the subject and qualifier advocate for the position you're defending. What part of the nuclear family do you attribute to workers owning the means of production? I mean, for the most part so do I and I'm an upper middle class straight white dude. They aren't exclusively beliefs held by black people for black people, though they have extremely valid additional reasons for wanting those things beyond my reasons.

Except when they aren't? Are you saying a single mother cannot be a family? Are you saying a child raised by their grandparents are not a family? I just want to be clear. What about grandparents that live with the their children and grandchildren? Are they not a family because they are multi-generational?

No, you just miscomprehended the statement. It's quite clear. "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." What that part means, is that they believe you don't have to fit one definition of a family to be a family. They are much more family-friendly than those that only support one type.

Yes.

Then why would you promote anti-family stances?

That's false.

You made it clear that it's actually you with the anti-social goals since you believe certain groups of people don't qualify as "family". How does denying their idea of a family make yours stronger?

Is this rhetorical?

The difference between Denmark(85.2) and the USA(70.4) is roughly the same as the USA and Thailand(55.4). In other words, The USA is Denmark's Thailand.

You can be from the 54th country on the list and 27 is still an improvement. Why people immigrate and where from is a whole separate discussion.

What about the page tells you that it's left wing? Did you read that the data is a visualization of the annual report from the World Economic Forum? Are you suggesting their data is incorrect and intentionally politically biased? If so, do you have data to support your claims? Do you have data to support an improved social mobility score for the USA?

I think it's important for each of us to challenge the things we believe, the things we accept as facts. We often get new information and when we consider that new information, we can sometimes find that things aren't what we used to think they were.

Who does? Who's a "leftist elite"?

If I said that to you, would it change your mind? Do you think the actions of those people you witnessed represent everyone who is anti-fascist? Do you think it's impossible that some of the people you thought were Antifa supporters were actually some of the documented white supremacist groups attempting to legitimize them? https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/02/tech/antifa-fake-twitter-account/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/technology/antifa-local-disinformation.html https://www.wsls.com/news/virginia/2020/07/27/police-richmond-riots-instigated-by-white-supremacists-disguised-as-black-lives-matter/ https://www.foxnews.com/us/minneapolis-umbrella-man-autozone-fire-hells-angels-police https://factcheck.afp.com/far-right-group-poses-antifa-during-george-floyd-protests

I'm not accusing you of lying. You asked me for evidence of my statements and I supplied actual data. I asked you for evidence of your statements and you said that you had seen some examples. Do you think that's fair? Do you think there's a small chance you might have some unintentional bias that makes you perceive things in a way that can't be supported by data?

That sounds like pretty weak evidence to support a claim of continuing convergence in large numbers. How would you get that impression having never spoken to any of them? Describing Antifa is like describing 2A Supporters or Patriots. People of like mind gather to support a cause they care about.

I believe that people that share the same beliefs that I have want to. I believe that everyone that supports the current system does not. Why? The policies being put in place by republicans and the corporate democrats actively and passively subvert social mobility.

Do they? How many? How often?

Sure. America ranks 27th when it comes to a poor person's ability to improve their economic standing: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-social-mobility-of-82-countries/ Right behind Lithuania.

Nope. You can take what i wrote literally - no subtext required. I bet they aren't. You guys have pushed this narrative before. You were wrong then and wrong now. Sports are more popular than ever.

I would love Logan Ryan. He's such a clutch player. I'm really shocked that's he wasn't one of the first free agents gone. I'm sure GM's know something we don't, but I'd really liek to know what it is.
