A very worthy premise for an article. Shame the content of it is claiming CDs sound "tinny" because of sample rates, and extolling homeopathy. Also, after praising the revival of v…

This is a fascinating case study into how paranoid and reactionary the modern left has become as a movement. It's always had a very conspicuous element of accusation and incriminat…

There isn't exactly a "curve" to be behind, just as there isn't one single "history" that you can end up "on the wrong side of". Politics is just the constantly shifting borders in…

>Federal troops assassinating kneeling protesters didn’t used to be “one side” This is factually not true. Levels of violence by the state against citizens in the United States is …

The rub here is "skilled workers". Just after Brexit, the Boris Johnson Tory government adjusted immigration rules for "skilled" workers, and caused a civilisation-altering number …

US immigration policy was explicitly racist from its founding up until the Hart Cellar act of 1965. Assuming that the 2016 election of Donald Trump is your benchmark for when immig…

>I don't even understand [...] >It is not different from groceries. Do you appreciate that, in the wider historical context, this position is an exceptionally radical one? You seem…

Perhaps on the smaller subreddits, but have a look at /r/all on any given day and it's obvious that real people, and diverse backgrounds, it is not. Every single subreddit that goe…

Why does the technicality that red and grey squirrels are different species hold any weight to you? The effect is still the same: They are two discernibly different populations, of…

I don't mean to say this as a challenge to what you said, but as a genuine question: Do you hold any value in the continued existence of the red squirrel in Great Britain? Would yo…

Demographics by births are much more meaningful than the total population because it's only births (and more immigration of course) that informs all future generations. Even if all…

White British is an ethnic umbrella recognised by the British government. In the last recorded statistics, the White British population in Britain had been reduced to 54% by births…

"The current times" are a direct result of decisions like that of Merkel to throw open the borders of Germany to a million unchecked foreign men. If there's one reason that the AfD…

I think the much more likely explanation is that 4chan always existed as a genuine counterculture (which was particularly true in the age prior to the late 2010s, when the internet…

Pepe the frog became associated with the online far right because it was a commonly used memetic avatar in general 4chan culture, and became intertwined with the space's shift to t…

>Note, some of these are associated with the far right. I think that should be trivially obvious based on the discussion at hand. What is interesting, though, is how so many of the…

All of this sentiment is many years out of date. "Alt-right" hasn't been a term of self-identification for almost a decade, and hasn't been used as an identifier by pretty much any…

What about these tariffs would cause the millions/billions of non-paying users to stop using the free service that is facebook?

The contradictions in that definition and its examples indicates to me how outdated it is. Connecting "white men" and Ivy League universities, despite those institutions adopting a…

This is the kind of dishonest motte-and-bailey framing that is all too common in academia, that my post was trying to highlight. There are many aspects and fields of academia that …

Carl Sagan died the year after this quote. With the greatest respect to him as a science communicator, he has not lived to see an entire generation of politics. When he died, the l…

Most people in London don't care because they are not English and have no connection with the thousands of years of history the city and country have. Only a third of the populatio…
