Re: The social justice wars

This SJW vs alt-right war is merely just the far left vs the far right. There's a lot more people fighting against the SJWs than the far right. I'm a left-leaning person, and I'm fully against the SJWs. Others, like Jordan Peterson, or the Google memo writer, are centrist. Of course, to people on t...

Re: The social justice wars

It's a strange thing. The same phenomena happens on the Bing search engine. Further investigation shows that "american inventors" returns black people because of the tag "african-american inventors". Similarly "white couple" returns black couples through the use of the ...

Re: Trumpism

In sum, I don't think it is possible at present to tell which faction - left, alt-left, right or alt-right - is "significantly the worst". Due to the complexity of it, it's impossible to come up with an objective measure. For me, the deciding factor is freedom of speech, but others may va...

Re: Trumpism

Trump had his lawyer (and Executive Vice President of the Trump Organisation) send him a cease and desist order If you believe that someone has broken the law, in the case of libel, then it's perfectly normal, and indeed expected by the courts , to send them a "cease and desist" letter, i...

I don't understand why you wouldn't debate him. Lots of people have a rant on the internet. For the most part Carl is very calm and self-controlled - especially when he's speaking to other people in person.

You don't think that the anti-SJW crusaders are doing the same thing? Of course they are. No, they're not trying to do it by force , which the authoritarian left are trying to do. You don't see anti-SJWs trying to forcibly shut down feminist talks, like you do see militant leftist groups trying to ...

I don't think Trump supporters would be offering tens of thousands of dollars to SJWs, just to have a discussion or debate with them, if they didn't want SJWs to express themselves.

Why are you so sensitive to criticism and continually flying off the handle at the merest hint of an insult? I'm not sensitive to criticism but to LOGICAL FALLACIES, and insult is but one of the logical fallacies (e.g. "I'm right because you are fucking insane."). Logical fallacies are th...

You're obsessing over a non-issue so you can prove that we are votaries of Trump, and thus justify your desire to solder liberal politics onto wisdom. What's wrong with liberal policies? Do you dislike freedom? Next you'll be saying, "What's wrong with social justice warriors? Do you dislike j...
