The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is what suicidal empathy looks like. This is what virtue signaling to the detriment of your own life looks like. This is what useless performative liberalism looks like.

All in one story:

Nikole Hannah-Jones Sacrificed Her Kid For Race Communism. Imagine Her Plan For Yours

The TL;DR is that NHJ and her equally lunatic husband enrolled their daughter in the worst schools they could find in NYC.

I had braced myself for this moment, spent nearly a decade expecting it, preparing for it. When Najya was entering pre-K, my husband, Faraji, and I decided to send her to the type of school that wealthier families with choices uniformly avoid — one that is low-income and mostly Black. Our decision had been informed by values shaped by my years of reporting on the enduring and too often seemingly hopeless battle for school integration.

Here's what happened. She left her daughter in a loser school and Her. Daughter. Learned. Nothing.
All the while being told how she was so smart and so on top of things.

Then they enrolled her in a real school, and she was years behind and had to play catch up. They jacked up their own daughter's future just to be Down With the Struggle.

So stupid. And so emblematic of why liberalism is a mental disorder.

BTW - the badly performing schools? They often have the same amount of money or even MORE than the good schools.
