Liberals, aka centrists, own most of the major media platforms. Actual leftists (especially radicals) tend to get silenced as much as far-right individuals do. Only "moderate" opinions are marketable on the mainstream media.

I don't know anything about the WalkAway group, but from your description and nothing else it seems like it shouldn't have been taken down and that it could have been very useful. But I don't see how Facebook taking down the

I agree with most of what you say. It's just that culture in the US isn't nearly as homogeneous as culture in Japan, and I have my doubts now as to whether the poster in question was talking about US as a whole or the culture (rea

Now you're losing me. In what way does "culture" matter? Socioeconomic status has nothing to do with "culture".

I didn't read too much into his use of "descendants", trying to be charitable in my interpretation. But having read his response to you I'm starting to have second thoughts...

Hold up. That's a bit of a strawman argument. He didn't say "country full of white people", he specifically mentioned socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status generally correlates negatively with criminality. There&#x2

What I asked for was an example where BLM is calling for violence. What you've provided was evidence of protests - some violent, some not - in the name of various causes. What you've now basically claimed, is that none of these p

Would you mind providing an example of that?

Come on, it's not being censored based solely on the fact that it's false and misleading, it's being censored because it has the potential to incite violence and cause serious social upheaval.

Would you say either framework has much over the other on each of these points (besides point 5 - of course)? That's kind of more what I'm wondering about.

Surely socialist activists are no closer to having any sort of power now than they did when you were in your twenties? Also, would you mind to be a bit more specific about who these people are? In my experience Americans aren't particu

I 100% agree that Rails is in a good place as a framework, and that that is largely because of a very active and engaging community and devs who take criticisms and opinions in consideration. I also think that it is generally easy to find a

Science is specifically not just using "common sense", what are you talking about? And no, I don't need to buy into the idea of climate change at all to take the contents of the article at face value.

I guess we're going off on a tangent here, but then I'm not sure what a person's right to freedom from violent crime actually provides them, if not a systematic process by which they can get justice.

No one here is advocating strong censorship though, and there is a massive chasm between banning specific topics during a pandemic and having generally strong censorship. This slippery slope is fallacious.

By that logic anyone disagreeing with a comment is guilty of some "nth level of negativity porn". He admits to not being able to be a good father to his son. No one mentioned bills and groceries - that is not what raising a teenag
