That's a common piece of libertarian propaganda but what happens in reality is businesses are forced to offer decent wages to attract labor and the ones that don't, perish - as the…

It certainly wasn't hollow when work weeks could go anywhere from 60 to 80 hours during the industrial revolution. The fact that the minimum wage has been rendered sub-optimal afte…

Your perspective seems to be completely orthogonal to reality. 1. That is actually how "wages work". The state decides what is the minimal possible wage and then businesses will pa…

I think the point was that it is circular reasoning.

As opposed to the other crowd who callously disregarded the dangers of the virus because it was primarily dangerous to the elderly. I wonder what represents a larger group of peopl…

Sorry, did you expect everyone to be blown away by the litany of common (and widely debunked) talking points from fossil fuel apologists?

"Some of" meaning a tiny fraction of the total population vs those that suffered no ill effects from the vaccination at all.

I actually think you're all misunderstanding what you're discussing. No, I won't expand as to why, I just wanted to continue this alleged misunderstanding train.

Presumably all with stage 3 cancer from the radiation on our way to a mandatory shift to pay off our several million dollar fare over the next 300 years of multigenerational indent…

I thought this would be an interesting comment about the article but it came right out of the gate with The Message (Wokeism Bad!) and I lost interest. In all seriousness though, d…

I love how you claim there is no line and then almost immediately afterwards establish that you do in fact have a line - that line being if a person is a conspiracy theorist or dan…

You do realize that we are specifically discussing ideas that are so reprehensible as to warrant being kicked off platforms, right? Also, I'd love to see examples of the things you…

How about when the idea itself is directly calling for the opposition of the freedom of others? Fascist and racist ideas are not difficult to parse and there is generally little to…

Again, this is just more absurd hypothetical scenarios. The reality is never as ambiguous as you're painting it. What you're describing is how a fascist would conduct a confrontati…

Nope, not even close to the truth. You should probably stop spreading FUD when it's apparent you don't know one iota about history. When an idea is transparently horrible, it's pro…

The line is incredibly simple actually. Ideas that are diametrically opposed to the freedoms of others should not get to spread off the back of the institutions that are supposed t…

Bullshit. For one, no speech has been "banned" here. Andrew Tate and others of his ilk are free to preach their hateful message but they're not free to do it off the backs of other…

Why do people keep making this same tired, frankly stupid, and entirely ahistorical analysis? Fascists don't need any "martyr", even leaving aside the fact that nothing being done …

I was referring to his Only Fans "agency" but I actually somehow forgot the far more blatant and very much not legal thing he stands accused of: https://thesportsgrail.com/andrew-t…

Andrew Tate is definitely guilty of TOS violations on more than one platform (and a whole lot more egregious offences like quasi-legal sex trafficking but I digress) so I'm not sur…

Boo boo? I'm not sure exactly why you expect Japan to be held to a different or lower standard than the rest of the world but I don't stop to think about the feelings of disgruntle…

I'm a little confused by your rant when they clearly stated having kids as the sacrifice here - which makes a lot more intuitive sense than whatever antinatalist position you're pr…

Well, the writing was on the wall as soon as they started blocking "Russian misinformation" that DDG are trying to ape the general practices of other search engines. Now, even the …

I never claimed to have an incorruptible mind. However, if you want an example of what is the logical outcome of your mentality, I would refer you to the treasure trove of delusion…

I think virtually all US presidents are war criminals but if you think those currently in power are uniquely inhuman rather than uniquely lucky, then you've fallen for the same tra…
