WATCH: ABC panellist says, “Let’s burn stuff!”
Imagine the nation-wide outrage if Sky News aired a panel of right-wing conservatives seemingly endorsing arson just weeks before Australia was hit by devastating bushfires. There’d be calls to have the television network immediately shut down. Any organisation or corporation that sponsored or advertised on the network would be shamed into publicly renouncing their affiliation. Australians would demand a proper investigation as politician after politician would come out condemning the broadcast with the harshest language possible. And rightly so. But what if they weren’t right-wing conservatives. What if they were left-wing activists? Would that make any difference? In an early…

Academic says, calling somebody a ‘nerd’ or ‘smarty-pants’ is an anti-IQ slur and should be a ‘hate crime’
An academic in the UK has said anti-IQ “slurs” such as “nerd”, “geek” and “smarty-pants” should be classed as a “hate crime.” Psychology lecturer and psychotherapist Dr Sonja Falck spent eight years researching the impact of discrimination against high IQ individuals and concluded that intelligent people should be protected by the same hate crime laws as ethnic, religious and sexual minority groups. “The N-word was common parlance in the UK until at least the 1960s,” Dr Falack said at her book launch, according to The Telegraph. “Society at the time turned a blind eye to their impact by passing them off…
