“Ungrateful little asshole”? Boy I really need to add “rattled Matt Walsh” to my bio. And no Matt I don’t mean the Aztec bc 1492+10=1502 and Cortez arrived in Mexico in 1519. Your cliche answers are not good enough here. But there’s a lot more you get wrong so let me start a 🧵
First, you have moved the goalposts from “Atlantic Exploration” to “travelling around the Earth”. Don’t get me wrong, you are wrong about the former too, as the Malians launched an Atlantic expedition in the 1300s, as told by Mansa Musa, but you’re very wrong about the latter
There’s evidence of Polynesian and Chinese voyages in the Pacific and Indian oceans respectively and hell even tales of Inca exploration of Polynesia. And of course the creation of the Maritime was filled with nameless explorers through the centuries.

“Genes determine skin colour”
Yes they also determine height, moles, and hair colour. But we dont build social hierarchies around that. That doesn’t mean races are genetic. It means you ring fenced some genes and attributed moral/social value to them. We call this “racism”
Like imagine saying stuff like “height is determined by genes, this is why tall people face a higher risk of thyroid problems! [apparently true] You can’t deny there is a physical difference between Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenneger!!”
Or like “there are studies that have found that short people tend to commit more crimes than tall people! [apparently this is true too!] Obviously this is a result of the different genes in tall and short people!”

Hero of Bondi Beach 14/12/25 Ahmed El Ahmed, Muslim

Hero of Huntingdon 15/11/25 Samir Zitouni, Muslim

Hero of Paris 26/05/18 Mamoudou Gassama, Muslim

Hero of Hypercacher 9/1/15 Lassana Bathily, Muslim

How many lives must Muslims save before we stop calling them terrorists?
Mamoudou Gassama saved a child who was hanging from a window

Samir Zitouni saved people in a non-terror related stabbing attack

If you assumed these were all heroes because of Muslims committing terror attacks… well maybe you are racist
The list continues

The nominal debate about sexual organs is a rather dumb one. You either think gender is assigned or innate and frankly that is of little consequence. The consequential discussion is why you think that: it’s either fragile masculinity or concern over safety in private spaces /1
IMO the latter is the only valid reason. I don’t care if a dude is scared that he will “accidentally” be attracted to a trans woman and hit on her. Deal with your own insecurities without trampling on other people’s rights. But safety in private spaces or fairness in sports? Sure
Here’s the thing though: safety and fairness are not “trans issues”. A fully cis male bathroom can be unsafe for a little boy (hi Catholic Church). Privacy concerns can be addressed with lockable personal booths. Transness is not the reason why private spaces can be unsafe

Piers Morgan approaches taxonomy as an ontological phenomenon. Categories are objective, universal and true. He never worries whether a tomato is a vegetable or a fruit, humans have perfectly taxonomized nature and categories never overlap. Hence he thinks this is a clever gotcha
The problem is @EdwardJDavey apparently agrees with him, but has to assume a pro trans position for political reasons. So he is confronted with an impossible problem: his categories are ontological, but his position is not. He cannot resolve the conflict and this is the result
Gender theory and feminism are not about ontological categories. Women are *not* ontologically (by the very fact of being women) the "weaker sex"; they don't "belong in the kitchen"; or "born to be mothers". This is why de Beauvoir said one is not “born a woman, but becomes one”

Unsurprisingly, Elliot’s conclusion is based on a misunderstanding of the applicable law. The statement “inference to genocide requires that no other reasonable explanation exist” is… let’s say inexact.
The applicable test is not “can you *explain* what Israel is doing *as a whole* through any reasonable explanation other than genocide”, but rather whether intent to destroy can be reasonably inferred from a specific pattern of conduct
So saying “it is more reasonable to explain Israel’s actions as trying to destroy Hamas and save hostages, than commiting genocide” is not really what the test requires. What is the specific pattern of conduct that Elliot is examining here? None. He is making an abstract argument
