    That quote sounds a lot like 1. (the idea of compressing each Bayer color), but I might misunderstand it.

    It's noteworthy for sure, however I am more annoyed by how it is reported. It was always like that for sure, however when the same medium proclaims being the arbiter of truth (fact…

    If it was from RT I would add "According to Russian media". Is that then a barely noteworthy western propaganda line or just the truth?

    In Germany this is called "Gratismut" (gratis bravery). It's the current thing to hate Russia, so they don't lose anything by doing a passionate write-up about it. McDonald's also …

    I disagree that physical violence is justified for any anonymous conversation however hateful it might be. If it is not anonymous then there are things like slander where things ge…

    Yeah, however that is not what happens if you just let that behavior described above slide. Punching someone because they said something to you is usually wrong especially if they …

    I agree with that assessment. Which means it should come as no surprise to anyone, if people are harsher online to people they literally do not know. It's not nice, but the alterna…

    > I am sorry, but if I were you, I'd be ashamed to use such justification for people's killings. It's a statistic, that is more relevant than plain population share.

    Comment #30988579

    This is disingenious at best. Looking at the population ratio vs killing makes no sense whatsoever. In that case just use that to justify why men are more often subject to police v…
