    Yeah, why aren’t we destroying the environment in Europe more? This is a great question. Kids these days have it too easy. They barely get any lead in their water.

    That’s nice. Maybe in 500 years we can forget about race. Right now there are lots of people who are actively, intentionally racist, and as long as they are around, making race tab…

    They aren’t actually making a claim. It’s an emotional appeal to “free speech” absolutism, whatever that means.

    I don’t see the problem here. Do we want bigots to feel free to spew their hatred unopposed?

    Yup and they totally exist and are in no way a fever dream of special forces cosplayers.

    So then Facebook engineers aren’t very bright, or are incredibly deluded. Either would explain some of the behavior we see.

    How much do you value truth and justice? Yes, it’s a bad idea. Their product is shit, their engineers are shit, the leadership is shit.

    Yeah it’s very exciting to work on the best ways to spread misinformation, incite division and ruin democracy. Or maybe they’re pulled in by the charismatic CEO-bot?

    Of course, you prefer the “alternative” which tells you actually the truth is just the opposite of what “they want you to believe” and you figured it out because you’re so smart an…
