Alt right is a progranda term by neo nazis for neo nazis, so they don't sound like actual neo nazis. Stop using the term alt right. Alt right means neo nazi. Nothing else.

Not every racist is a neo nazi, not every leftist is a stalinist. Lumping them together is a cheap tactic to aggravate people, which I think it's dishonest and not very effective.

> Not every racist is a neo nazi,

True, American racists are, for instance, quite often neoconfederates. OTOH, the Confederates were among the direct inspirations for the Nazis, so in a sense that makes those racists Neo-Proto-Nazis.

That's a great example. Another one is the question, whether gender dysphoria results from mental illness, or the other way around. The orthodoxy will say that the discrimination that trans people face is the reason for the prevalence of mental illness among them. We won't find out anytime soon, since it's a belief that is held sacred among the very people studying the topic, and at the same time there's a push to tr…

[We have the data]( https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1909367116 ), being trans is identifiable as early as 2-3yo, from the moment gender differences in behavior become apparent, long before any capacity to comprehend and adhere to complex expectations of boogeyman "transtrender parents". You want to be t…

This isn't what the GP is arguing, did you reply to the wrong thing?

You quoted their question:

> Another one is the question, whether gender dysphoria results from mental illness, or the other way around.

The study you provided - whilst interesting - doesn't answer it or even attempt to answer in its purpose.

The study shows 3-12 year olds who are "socially transitioned and live in families that that affirmed their child’s current gender identity through a social transition" have a strong affinity towards their gender, just as non trans children who have their families affirmation of their gender do.

It seems odd to me you're arguing bad faith when it seems you're acting that way by misdirectly and providing studies irrelevant to the point as evidence of the GPs lack of research.

You'll hear better if you move over here.

I don't see how moving to Appleland in Delltopia would affect my hearing but I'll take your word for it.

So if 50 percent of the town I live in watches Fox News, and I don't -- I'm living in a bubble?

If Fox News is different enough from the news you watch, then yes, obviously.

My take is a source is "bubbly" or not on the basis of its content.

Not the portion of people in your immediate vicinity who happen to read/listen to it.

This is like saying reddit is far right because of the_donald

The_Donald was (1) banned and (2) not the official politics forum. It's more like characterizing Reddit as a whole as left-leaning because /r/politics is, which is, in my book, a fair claim.

Reddit's userbase seems to be mostly "brogressive". Imgur, surprisingly, seems more solidly "based".
