I don't think the GOP is a unified bloc. I think it is beholden to a vocal minority without whom they wouldnt win elections because running on their last 20 years of policy alone hasnt worked. If we destroyed the current political part

My opinion of Republican values regarding LGBT rights comes directly from spoken statements from sitting members of congress and state legislators. If Republicans can point to actual legislators that say "no one should have guns",

Your statistic is based on the opinion of individual voters. My concern is with the forces in government that have made my friends in Florida fear that they cannot talk about their lives without being branded a pedophile. The sitting member

i think thats a false equivalency. First of all I see them as people, I just see them as people who dont care about my personhood. Second of all, my value judgement of the right is based on the actions they take against my personhood, where

thats because Democrats are largely impotent whereas republicans have let fringe hateful ideas become their platform. If one person in the room smells like shit, can you blame other people for taking a step away?

Florida's HB 1557 doesn't go that far, but the rhetoric that people use to support it has echoes of fascism. All of the right-wing talking points around trans issues equate teaching kids about lgbt issues to pedophilia. For many s

"doing something about it" is a privilege awarded by wealth, not competency. He could have installed someone with experience in free speech advocacy and policy but he took it for himself. People need to seriously understand that b

I hate the cube rule of food. I know its mostly a joke about taxonomy but some people take it so seriously. Categorization is highly contextual and fluid and any attempt to be authoritative or argumentative about it bothers me. IDGAS if a h

Listen, people understand that technology has value outside of the scams and stupid memes. The problem is that crypto-evangelists seem to think that good intentions are all you need to build a functioning alternate economy. "Don't

MITM is a networking term for when an agent in a trust based communication system falsifies data in order to exploit the system. I don't think using a term that isn't directly used in a whitepaper is a flaw in my argument. Decentr
