It was popular to say, but I challenge the idea that people have somehow become less tolerant of speech they disagree with than, say, Christians in the 1980s or the US government d…

"Is this person defending free speech in favor of liberty? Or because his anti-liberty extremism won't be tolerated otherwise?". It works both ways so this isn't a practical way of…

That's an "if" so big I don't know what your point is.

Because the west and especially the US has, very specifically, a fascism problem.

There's no historical reason to think that not supporting extreme speech will lead to fascism. There are historical reasons to think that curbing extremist speech protects democrac…

I dunno if I'd agree that it's a small vocal minority, zero-tolerance to anybody questioning the current dogma is seen everywhere where trans acceptance is a focus. Ten years ago I…

Gender politics is a cancer on the left, even though I agree with it, it takes up so much time and energy away from things that would benefit everybody including trans people, like…

Entry-level wages are being heavily outpaced by inflation and COL increases, so they're not actually "growing".

Big cities still need people to do the jobs that only pay minimum wage. There was a whole thing last year about how important those minimum wage workers are, but you've probably fo…

Colorado is expensive as anything to live in and is only getting more expensive. $18/hour is NOT a livable wage in Boulder. $35/hour is only 72k a year at full employment (unlikely…
