Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
Given all the ways the media provably twisted things Trump said during the campaign, and all the other instances of the regressive left lying through their teeth (GamerGate comes to mind), why should I believe any of the "he's literally Hitler" crap? I don't, incidentally. Again, it comes down to a...

Re: Weird that there are no ethnonationalist mutants in X Men?
I think the idea was that them being mutants and shunned by all the non-mutants in whatever country or region they happened to be born in gave them something in common and thus a common purpose. Kind of like how alien invasions in sci-fi are generally described as bringing humanity together for the...

Re: I never use the word troll
It's just a term, if you don't want to use it that's fine. :P Trolling can be quite funny if it's not excessively mean spirited, it's like prank calling someone. I find it tragically funny when people on the internet call others trolls simply for disagreeing with them or having an opinion that they...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
Pretty sure that day has already come to pass. Anti-discrimination laws are plenty on their own. I assume you don't pay much attention to the news then. Either that or you live in a different world to the rest of us. Yeah, the world is a lot better. But that does mean we exist in an egalitarian soc...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
"Why all this focus on color and sexual identity?" Because those are the basis on which people belonging to those groups are treated unjustly. As for the government handling the task, what else has the power needed to stop it, to ensure all discriminated people can live their lives without having to...

Re: I never use the word troll
That can be hard to tell. While a statement obviously likely to irritate those in a threat or forum can be one sign, there are enough non-trolls who do that. So, there's their behavior. You look at their posting habits and how they react to other people's comments. After all, a troll is aiming to ge...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
Right now, I hope there's just some miscommunication going on. Based on the above, it's okay for a group of people, such as blacks, to be treated inferior to others, so long as it's not illegal to do so. Also, if we spot that current laws and legal rights are insufficient in some way, such as allowi...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
For me, the matter is simple. Do you think minorities who are badly mistreated deserve to live their lives without getting extra shit dumped on them or to be treated as inferiors by parts of society for simply existing? If so, there is no opinion that will not involve limiting speech in some way. Th...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
So, encouraging the ostracisation of LGBT people should be okay? Lying about LGBT people for the sake of encouraging fear/hatred of them or denial of basic rights should be okay? In practise, that would mean that those of groups likely to be the targets of hate crime, such as the LGBT community, hav...

Re: Is the left prepared to beat a socially liberal right?
Ignoring whether Yougov has merit as a news source, that link specifies hate speech. I hope you are not trying to treat efforts to stop people from encouraging mistreatment of others based on stuff like being gay as being equivalent to, as an example, Trump acting as though the Press does not have t...
