A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

I say these type of traditionalists aren't really living their ideologies until they die at 25, in a cave with no electricity, from a disease that's long since been cured.
We don't need to be animals. No need to force these delusional souls to live in a cave.
Let them build their own houses. But yes no electricity for them.
After all, if they're pinning for the 1820s they can have it all. Including the mercury enemas to treat every single illness.
But no slaves. Because the North kicked the traitorous South's ass.

Ima be honest & say I didn’t read the whole thing.
By ignore I meant to ignore their bullshit. It feels to me like too many people are drinking the koolaid & paying attention to their misdirections.
We need to ignore their bullshit, and just act in response to their “clandestine” actions. Like, I’m sure the Trump vs Musk fight from like a week ago was a misdirection, and it got too much traction.
That traction tells them that it’s effective to do that bullshit. We need to teach them otherwise.
Oh you mean the online topic shit the establishment keeps trying to force feed us. Yea, people need to stop biting that hook. It only legitimizes it like you said.
When I read "ignore their bullshit" I thought you meant taking the Enlightened Centrist
stance of "turn the other cheek and let them tire out. Don't start a scene cause it will disturb everyone" type nonsense, as if what they spout isn't disturbing in itself. -
A University of Florida student won an academic honor after he argued in a school paper that the Constitution applies only to white people. The student also made statements against Jews.
The granting of the award set off months of turmoil on the law school campus.

I bet you're a blast at parties.
Sometimes.

I spotted the lawyer!
Nah, my partner is a psychologist.

“It’s just that — neutrality,” she added. “The government — in this case, our public university — stays out of picking sides, so that, through the marketplace of ideas, you can debate and arrive at truth for yourself and for the community.”
Some at the law school agree with her stance. In an interview, John F. Stinneford, a professor at the university, said that it would be “academic misconduct” for a law professor who opposed abortion to give a lower grade to a well-argued paper advocating abortion rights.
This makes sense to me as a principle, but the idea that the paper is genuinely making a good argument seems really questionable.
Among originalists, though, this interpretation [apparently that “We the People,” refers to white people, and therefore the constitution applies to them exclusively] has been widely rejected. Instead, conservatives have argued that much of the text of the Constitution “tilts toward liberty” for all, said Jonathan Gienapp, an associate professor of history and law at Stanford. They also note that the post-Civil War amendments guaranteeing rights to nonwhite people “washed away whatever racial taint” there was in the original document.
Sounds like not even other originalists take it seriously. On its face the idea seems really stupid, since the wording of that part of the constitution doesn't involve race, and whiteness has always been a very loosely defined concept with a lot of ambiguity that wouldn't be a natural fit for a legal principle. So maybe the paper is getting a high grade and an award is itself a display of personal bias.
It is Florida after all

"I'm not like an ax murderer or anything." No, you're worse. You might face consequences if you kill a couple of racial minorities in that manner. Instead, you're going to try and kill or ruin the lives of all racial minorities in this country. My race, being white people, stole and murdered to get this land. That doesn't make it ours. To pretend that it is, even worse, that it's wrong for people to peacefully come here doing none of the things of our ancestors, is unbelievably wrong. The fact that are grown ass men that haven't developed basic empathy or moral compasses, baffles me.
Trade offs, I suppose. I don't think people should be beholden to what there ancestors did. You can't change the past but you can make the future. Let's be good ancestors.
Being white doesn't make you racist.

Ah okay. So only white people should pay taxes then, yeah?

Preston Damsky is the name of the Nazi.
He is an anti American Nazi advocating for the summary murder of people who are not white.

Some ideas need to be removed from the marketplace.
Ms. Chatman was struck, in part, by her own experiences at the school in contrast to Mr. Damsky’s award. She had proposed teaching a class during her time there called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.” But administrators at the law school changed the name to “Entrepreneurship,” she said, before listing it in the course catalog.
She attributed the change to Florida lawmakers’ crackdown on diversity-oriented language and themes in public education, a push that preceded the Trump administration’s broader war on progressive ideology.
Sounds like the college agrees, though maybe not about which ones

I hadn’t heard of Nazi White Supremacist Preston Damsky, but having read this article and his University of Florida paper, it seems like Racist Nazi Preston Damsky has racist nazi white supremacist views which he masks and deflects from in his University of Florida paper in a typical lazy nazi racist white supremacist fashion. It’s shameful that the University of Florida supports this white supremacist racist nazi.

Sociopathy doesn't exist, psychology does not know such diagnosis.
Edit: I guess y'all really want to continue spreading cool sounding words and staying ignorant.
Ugh. I guess you're very barely on the fringe of being technically correct, which makes your "staying ignorant" comment all the more frustrating, because I'm certain you won't appreciate or understand your ironic arrogance.
In the DSM-5, the term "sociopath" is not an official diagnosis. Instead, it is often used interchangeably with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). ASPD is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent disregard for the rights and feelings of others, often involving deceitfulness, impulsivity, and a lack of remorse.

I know what people mean when they say it, just wanted people to know that it's incorrect.
What kind of arrogance is that? I honestly don't know. Or are you saying that using correct diagnosis doesn't matter?
I honestly did not expect that kind of reaction, I thought I was just helping others learn. So yeah, my staying ignorant comment is very apt and not ironically arrogant.
And your "barely on the fringe of being technically correct" is ridiculous because I'm not only technically correct, sociopath simply isn't a diagnosis. If you tell that word to a psychologist, they'll internally roll their eyes, because that term doesn't exist in psychology.
