You're playing with semantics.

I feel that the "systemic racist" is overplayed, yes. And the graph is sourced.

In the same way that gangsta rap music is protected, yes.

Not youtube, apparently.

Ok, what if this person were a thug and he advocates for a "thug life" (as an arbitrary example, a gangsta rapper)? And let's say he committed a lot of crime and physical harm to other people? Would you issue the same behavio

So youtube is going to ban gangsta rap music for the same reasons, right?

It's a perfectly valid argument and one that I like to make. The "hate speech" crowd rarely, if ever, protests over rap music and for the life of me I never understood why.

It's a perfectly valid comment to people who want to get rid of "hate speech" but say nothing about the popularity of gangsta rap within this same crowd. I never understood this.

The data does not back that claim: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/163/274/fbf... And this includes ALL white people, much less "white people who happen to be police offic

It's a new account with not much activity that's reporting outrage material. I don't know, I can't prove it or anything, but it seems shilly. I notice this a lot on /r/cryptocurrencies as well.

by steveeq1 6y ago
Yeah, but that's availability bias. That's my point. There's a lot of shill accounts on reddit posting this stuff with plenty of upvotes, but the comments are critical of the piece. These are obviously shill/bot accounts

Guys, this might be a shill account. I've noticed a lot of shill/bot accounts on reddit lately. /r/losangeles and and /r/pics are super-super-super anti-cop right now, to the point of ridiculousness. Are there

> Reddit is the ultimate cesspool of extreme-left right now in almost every city/state/country sub. It's absolutely insane and people who do not agree with official narratives are constantly downvoted to oblivion. I though

So they're going to not allow posts from gangsta rappers then, right? With avid public approval?

The vast vast majority of the cases are mild if you are strong and healthy.

Straw man. No one thinks the media should "cover it up". However, It would be more responsible for the media to not present the public with so much obvious misinformation about the virus.

Paul Graham pushing "conspiracy theories"? Source please.

This. There is so much fear-mongering going on by "the news" it sickens me.

How is this different than just going on youtube and irc?

But quarantining after the flu can "save lives". But my point is that it runs counter to the "That preserving life is more palatable than making money" argument. It's a tradeoff, in other words. If you REALLY wanted

by steveeq1 6y ago
What you gave is a strawman argument. Read what was originally written: > What mindset? That preserving life is more palatable than making money? I'm ok with that. I'd rather be unemployed than dead. You can "preserve life

by steveeq1 6y ago
But death still occurs with the flu! Doesn't this mean you don't think life is more palateable than making money?

by steveeq1 6y ago
Don't know why this is being downvoted. The flu kills tens of thousands a year, yet no one seemed to want to shut down the economy in the past. . .
28.
by steveeq1 6y ago
But you can say that about anything. The flu kills tends of thousands of people in the US every year.

It doesn't "eat into your lungs", and the great bulk of cases are mild.

South Korea has studies that show re-infection after you get it won't happen in any meaningful way.
