Or if they were fake. Hard to say.

But mostly just don’t want to see points of view that we disagree with.

Well in the context of the original story, who is the Nazis? Is it the Chinese government putting peaceful Christians in jail? Or is it the Christians themselves who present a danger to society, thereby justifying their incarceration/disappearance. Seems like the answer should be obvious, and yet people don’t agree.

Nah that’s just a way to justify being intolerant while acting like you value tolerance.

Yeah? Did they throw you in jail for your beliefs? Or try to kill you? There’s a difference between expressing an ignorant or bigoted opinion, compared to infringing on someone’s human rights.

At this point the paradox of intolerance is used to justify intolerance more than it’s used to prevent intolerance.

While I don’t disagree with you, that isn’t at all what he said.

I got a feeling it’s just a particular religion. The level of moral and mental integrity in this thread is abysmal…

Sweden has some of the best policies for having kids: doesn’t cost anything, a year of maternity AND paternity leave for each kid you have, plus they straight up give you money. Birth rate is 1.45.

Who said anything about a cult? Sounds like you got a few assumptions that you should reevaluate.

We don’t have a political party who stands for that, even though the majority of normal people want it, on both sides of the aisle.

In Minnesota they had a Somalian candidate for mayor who lost because of tribalism within the Somali community. Somalians from different tribes would not vote for him. So then some of the Somali leaders came together and said we are all Somali and should be voting together or we will not take power from the white people. More tribalism.

No it’s ironic commentary on how easily people can justify horrific things happening to people they don’t like.

As long as it is someone we don’t like, then yes.

Edit: oops, I guess I need the /s

Being pro free speech has nothing to do with willingness to change your opinion. Rhetoric and philosophy are both contained within the free speech bubble. Also there are no ideologies that are free from the potential of stifling others free speech, which is why it needs to be vigorously protected by everyone, all the time.

Did you read the article? It’s not quite that simple.

The numbers are always skewed. It just depends on which narrative you are pushing.

I looked into this a little bit and you have to remove babies in order for gun violence to be highest. So then gun violence is the highest from 1-17 some years, but other years needs to include 18 or 19 year olds in order to be highest.

I have no issues with human connection, but I am also subject to capitalism.
