So when MSNBC pioneered the idea of an illegitimate election, and spent 4 years haranguing and indulging in massive conspiracy theories about it, that's not hazardous? And it's not hazardous when the Washington Post removes an unf

interesting, entertaining the stuff around USO lore though, wouldn't the energy required to navigate around the bottom of the ocean be immense though (more than whatever you calculated)?

People say this but the obvious point is that flu numbers are much lower if not vanishingly small, suggesting people are in fact largely complying with mitigation efforts. So the only argument I see otherwise is that there's some radic

> That is, "speech is violent speech IFF it disturbs the peace." Disturbing peace? Isn’t that very much under the scope of the BLM associated rioting? Like we’re talking many buildings public and otherwise burned to the ground.

Precisely demonstrating my point: a hyper-sensitivity and censorious attitude against any advocacy for unmitigated debate.

All these platforms are literally dopamine gerbil wheels enslaving humanity to screens. Stop pretending these are the progressive vanguards of society.

It’s not uncharitable to state there’s ethnic cleansing occurring in China and the state has codified race supremacy.

It’s pretty clear tech companies have figured out you don’t have to pay your employees more, pandering to them gives them much more.

It doesn’t seem like the left values discourse. I don’t know if they care to respond to market incentive if that’s what you’re suggesting. This has been apparent for some time and is a complete reversal from when conservatives were the conf

You would think it’d be obvious to “hackers” that consolidation of power over information channels is the real coup. Sad no one seems alarmed by that or understands how that can go wrong.

I guess I see the issue as almost impossible to solve since they're all politicians unable to engage in reasonable discussion, especially when it was election season.

It's clear that liberals(and never-trump conservatives) don't know how to effectively deal with Trump supporters. Censoring(or moderating if that's what you're going to argue it's called) will only make things worse

Let’s consider that your perception is fallible and possibly wrong. And hypothetically assume your concept of “the oppressed” is off to some degree. You’ve admitted to justifying and even supporting riots on the “left.” And that sets the st
