Yes - and even from the government - consider McCarthyism or Hoover's FBI and the civil rights movement. This fear of saying the wrong thing seems to say a lot more about the expan…

To emphasize the point on the value of signaling - I know plenty of people who actively avoid branded items that could easily fit into their budgets because they think it's ridicul…

Yes - those El Salvadoreans - since they are born with only 3 fingers on each hand, they have a very difficult time using tools that were designed for people with 5 fingers on each…
