Because after she was thrown out of the green party she said ‘transphobia’ was the reason she was being thrown out, presumably in an attempt to deflect from the real reason. The real reason was that she recruited her father as a campaign manager while knowing he was being charged for sexual offences, and he would eventually be convicted of raping and torturing a 10 year old child which was held captive in the attic o…

It's not doxxing. It's Reddit employees abusing their power to try to protect "one of their own". It's pretty bad if it's true.

We all know that Americans are obsessed with the ultimate freedom of speech, but, just like some other provisions in American constitution, it’s a not well-thought idea. At the same time Western Europe, which constrains it more, has more democra…

> Restriction of hate speech is not „moral authoritarianism“, it’s a good protection mechanism. Those are the exact same things.
