Where did I 'name call' though? Why is this acceptable to you?: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11795186 I'm not religious but this would seem to be absurdly inflammatory in normal contexts. I think that

The article posted is literally about ideological differences so.. what? Also, name calling? What? I see that the submission was removed or flagged down. I suspect that has more to do with the fact that it is critical of leftism rather than

> That in fact, blacks are poor because of their culture and not ongoing structural racism? I honestly feel that any worthwhile conservative arguments are being made by center-left thinkers. What evidence do you have to suggest this is t

Yeah I agree except for the immigration thing. That is an international affair and a matter of sovereignty and has nothing to do with personal freedoms. Leftism currently is driving the hardest for authoritarianism. I expect we'll see

The raison d'être of leftism is literally to bother other people because it gives leftists a feeling of power.

To be fair, this is mostly goalpost moving. Leftism is now mainstream liberalism. I used to identify as a liberal but now mainstream liberalism (leftism) is against basic things like freedom of speech. Feels weird to identify as a 'con

If he got this far, this guy is about 2 months away from supporting Trump. Leftism is a religion and leftists are some of the most close-minded people you will ever meet. MAGA

None of these societal things I bring up have anything to do with the actual account of the author's fantastically awful and absurd experience with that CEO. He clearly intended this to invoke a much wider discussion about race and sys

Ok, I see your point. That's fair.

What would a thoughtful discussion about this particular story look like? What you're advocating for here in terms of policing the type of discussion and the types of people that can contribute to the discussion here (based on your ass

And yet everyone must live in a society subject to policies that are enacted as response to racism or supposed racism. To suggest that people should be absolutely silent and not contribute to the discourse that leads to policies that affect

I'm happy to have an honest and open discussion about it but that's not what most people want. Once you start talking about systemic racism vs the rise of single-motherhood and destruction of the family and glorification of violen

Please keep that crap in Europe. They're currently reaping the benefits of that particular world view.

Brevik attacked an event held by the youth movement of a far left political party in Norway so the father (who I assume is also far left) reacting/coping that way is unsurprising. That's not something to lionize though. Pretty sad

There's a cost to society >$5 in value when you allow someone so fundamentally anti-social to repeatedly victimize people. Keep in mind he was only sentenced after he was caught and the store owner pressed charges.

This is very interesting. Can you expand on what you mean?

Those are highly correlated issues so perhaps pick a better example?

Perhaps wealthier whites are more informed on average? Why does race or class matter?

I suppose the lizard people do in fact support Sanders and Trump.

The comparison is fundamentally flawed because the amount of jellybeans in a jar is an objective fact not subject to interpretation by anyone's values.

Thanks for conceding the argument.

The successes of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would seem to contradict your thesis.

I strongly, strongly suspect that the primary motivation for this comes from the fact that higher voter turnout tends to favor democrats. http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/3/progressives-ne...

Why do you assume this woman was bigoted and not just ignorant but acting in good faith? She got weird vibes from him but at least tried to make conversation with the guy to get a better read on him. The men who did 9/11 were Arab Musl
