#Relativize
Do lesbians face discrimination in the United States? On the one hand, Renée Good was murdered. On the other hand, I am highly paid to relativize such crimes.

Qualquer jornalista que não se insurja explicitamente contra os atos golpistas dessa família desgraçada e a corja que a orbita, que passe pano, que relativize, que venha com doisladismo, é cúmplice.

Israel atacou um grupo do Médicos sem Fronteiras, uniformizado, que estava esperando o transporte para ir ao hospital

e ainda tem quem relativize toda essa desumanidade com "e o Hamas? e os reféns?"
Physiotherapist Abdelhameed Qaradaya, who worked at the MSF field hospital in Deir al-Balah, died today of wounds sustained in an Israeli drone strike 3 days ago. The attack targeted a group of MSF healthcare workers, all wearing marked vests, as they waited for their shuttle to work...

🚨EST#PRO DE VULNERÁVEL É CRIME. É revoltante e inaceitável qualquer decisão que relativize a violência sexual contra crianças.

O cara acobertou um predador sexual por meses. Meses! E ainda tem quem relativize. Vergonha demais…

In my 1989 thesis I asked if there was an oracle separating IP from MIP. That was before we knew that MIP=NEXP, though that result doesn't relativize. Bouland, Huang, Natarajan, Shalit, Tal and Astra now answer the original question.
$\mathsf{BQP} \subseteq \mathsf{IP}$ Does Not Relativize
We construct an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{BQP} \not\subseteq \mathsf{IP}$, resolving a long-standing open question in quantum complexity theory. Together with recent work due to Aaronson...

"cool closed system you've got there. would be a shame if someone were to . . . relativize it."

Also give me a break. You've definitely pitted two women against each other at some point in your life.

You're allowed to compare the relativize decency of two people and if those two people just happen to be women, then so be it.

I have zero doubt that if I died politically, Jews on the right would trawl through my published writings for something anti-Israel and say, "He should have known better; this is why we need Israel," while leftists would find something I said that wasn't anti-Israel enough to relativize my death.

and extensive German public funding for several German organizations involved in the same ecosystem, including projects and narratives that deny or relativize the Nakba.

I have a bit of a pet theory that people will normalize and relativize everything from unemployment to genocide but that these minor inconveniences that violate the promises of capitalist abundance are potentially radicalizing.
i hate capitalism this is insanity!! guess i will be working on getting dvds for the entire infinity saga of the mcu now and at least i have the entire star wars collection so i dont have to worry about that

I mean this actually-for-reals seriously: users shouldn't like any agent. It is bad for decision-making and it is almost certainly bad for mental health

Users shouldn't even be actively reading the words, users should be reading through them for the behaviors behind them

3/ Violence follows permission. When leaders hedge, excuse, or relativize attacks on Jews, they signal that Jewish lives are negotiable. Dehumanization always comes before bloodshed.

Just talked a student through the bitter disappointment of realizing they probably won’t be able toaccess state archives in India for their dissertation. Some thoughts on how to handle this. 1) as an Indian, I have been hustling my way into archives my whole career so relativize the experience.

BRUSSELS — Elon Musk, unlike other tech bosses, "is not able to recognize good and evil,” a European Union top official said Wednesday.

I am not interested in people who relativize abuse or do abuse apologia any more than I am in abusers. stay far away from me.

Manages sort of to relativize the Holocaust; manages to avoid naming victims and perpetrators; and manages to leave open “dark paths” (just not “the darkest”).

Just you wait until corporations will try to rewrite history and relativize their behavior when Trump is gone

"Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativize the issue, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we have witnessed extreme weather phenomena... and other cries of protest on the part of the earth."
