But just look at the cases where people claiming to be antifa did anything - it's all stuff like beating up Neo Nazis. Comparing them to a domestic terrorist organization like the Proud Boys that walks freely and has the administration's backing, they're nothing.

The amount of attention these people get for being so insignificant just shows that the right has set it up as an imaginary giant

The difference is while you made guesses to the cause as well, I labeled mine as a guess while you presented it as if it were an established link.

All you did was post a list of programs that scare you, not any statistics or studies that show they help/hurt students. Similarly, when I asked for sources, you side-stepped the question and went on a rant about feelings. That's a typical move conservatives make when their laughable beliefs get questioned so not surprising

Red states aren't fascist though many of the Republican politicians share fascist ideologies. Fortunately there are some that are still pushing to educate students including at a lower level. Once you get to higher education then blue states take the lead.

You can cherry pick stats all you want but take a look at what the actual politicians are pushing - it's nonsense like ending educational standards, banning books, forcing bibles in schools. You never see that sort of thing from the left.

Yep, antifa is basically like the internet group "anonymous" except with less communication and organization. Sometimes people will take an anti-fascist stance with the name, but there's not some large organization.

Conservatives have shown time and time again that they don't like education. In the(failed) conservative experiment of Kansas they cut education so much that the courts had to step in to reverse it. They see education as a path to indoctrinate students with religious beliefs. Sometimes they like to cherrypick stats that work out for them too

This is a great example of what conservative propaganda does. Here we have someone that has a list of topics and has assigned to them a position that some progressive might have had or at least a Fox News host says they have had in the past couple decades, then pretends he's solved the problem.

As right-wingers drift further and further from reality, they're starting to just make up what they think the opposition is. Trump recently made an effort to label "AntiFa" as a domestic terrorist group which is sort of like saying we need to watch out for the boogyman. It doesn't matter that such a group doesn't exist, it's a great thing for them to point at (and never solve). If they can't find an extreme view from the left to paint any non-MAGA as, they'll just invent one.

Part of this is blaming schools. Conservatives hate schools because it means people are going to leave their small towns and interact with people of other cultures and ideologies, plus they're going to learn things! The Republican party is literally against critical thinking.

This is more of what it should have been. Instead of legislating that every site implement a UI for accepting/declining cookies, it should be something built into the browser with a consistent UI and functionality. Plus you'd know if it was actually working, there's no guarantee that pressing a button on the website will work.

Probably would split it up into a few categories like None, Necessary (local), All (include third party sites). It's kind of pointless anyways since ad companies have plenty of ways to track people even without cookies

I had a similar case in a networks class where we'd designed a server and client with sliding window functionality and some other low level functionality. It worked pretty well but would sometimes lock up and we hadn't had time to look into why.

During the final demo in front of the professor it was going well enough that he saw it was working, then right as he was asking some questions about it, it froze up. We got through the questions and then I suggested we show something in the startup again. If the professor even noticed, he never said anything
