replying to this late because i saw this probably close to the day it was posted, but then i couldn't stop thinking about it because this topic is very interesting to me. i'm going to drive myself mad if i don't throw in my two cents here. sorry if this should really go in your second thread...

the idea is along the lines of the paradox of tolerating intolerance (i.e. the intolerant ideology of the alt-right) and that debating will never work + something something police having a monopoly on violence. so my point also still remains that idk what tf to think about them because yeah tbh...

i think you may be confusing fascism with violent direct action. violent direct action is a tactic used by fascists, but by no means does it only belong to fascists. afaik the mission statement of antifa is only about combating [certain] hate groups. however their goals actually play out is an...

im not at all disillusioned about the violence that has come from antifa. at its core, the intention of antifa is to COMBAT fascism, so they have the moral high ground. however, i do know that there are groups with good intentions that have historically gone astray. (i really dont know how i...

i seriously doubt that dude. you're saying that the only neo-nazis willing to take action are people who were either geographically close to charlottesville or have the wealth/resources to travel there. 500 is way too big of a number for me. (not to mention that i think we're both just looking...

i would argue that they do have power. right now, it's the power of influence that enables extremists. to further, they have growing membership. what happens if that memberbase decides to take action? anybody claiming to want something along the lines of a white ethnostate is unlikely to achieve...

ugh. honestly, i don't even know entirely where i stand in this debate. let's just get this out of the way though. yeah haha reductio ad hitlerum/godwin's law whatever the fuck, but i think that's inevitable in this conversation. the majority, if not all, of the people of this thread are...

We were fine before 2014 because net neutrality had been an unofficial rule. ISPs hadn't really been trying this before. Then comes this in 2014, the "this has happened before" that Donder is referring to. The 2015 ruling shut this down by making net neutrality an official rule. ISPs only really...

Very simply put, net neutrality is set of regulations that prevent internet service providers from blocking and/or changing the speed of what data (websites) consumers receive. Title II/net neutrality is more or less what helps the internet be treated as a public commodity. Repealing net...

So as of the 7th this bill has been introduced to thwart the FCC from trying shit like this. This is the bill to mention if you haven't already called your reps, or even if you have already. Voting takes place tomorrow for the repeal.

Fucking incredible how the chairman and his supporters try to frame this. Thank you to everyone providing links and information here.

my roommate is experimenting with the label of agender. from what they've told me, they don't really feel like they identify with their assigned gender. at the same time, they don't really feel any pull towards the opposite gender. as far as what i can inference from what we've discussed in the...

i know it was a joke, but i've heard the attack plane helicopter thing so many times at this point i really don't know if people are aware of the distinction between kin and gender identities. i know i used to think kin was related to gender. either way, im really not about to try to defend kin...

i would argue that evolution comes from mutations. i doubt the basic male/female sex will ever be replaced in our species, but genetic errors ARE a naturally occurring thing. some mutations are maladaptive, but others can give a species better fitness for survival. so yes, sometimes being born...

iirc, the only thing in old records are people that engaged in homosexual acts. as far as everyone was concerned, sexual orientation wasn't a thing until more recent history. i have no doubt that gay/bi/etc. people existed, but they just weren't called that, and they were probably forced into a...

no, i understand what you're saying. i've heard that argument... a lot, lol. i agree that males can present feminine/androgynous and females can conversely present as masculine/androgynous, all while still being cis. i just don't think that fluidity in gender presentation invalidates gender...

ayo. o/ i'm a transguy that used to identify as non-binary (still not sure if i 100% identify as male, might be a demiboy) and am currently seeing someone who identifies as genderqueer. i started identifying as non-binary when i realized how disillusioned i felt with the female identity about...

hi there im going to have to ask you to operationalize "potato salad" before you pursue this topic any further thank y

whom do you think you are

i honestly think it's really weird for me because when i was doing the normal routes, i REALLY wanted to do the jumin/707 routes, but honestly once i got the deep story mode i didn't feel that as much? i think my problem is that i get MEGA UNCOMFORTABLE when people flirt with me and that just...
