Yes! This! We need it to be diverse as possible. Thank you! Diversity in everything, EVERYTHING, except of course diversity of option.

Diversity of opinion is one of those facile concepts that look good on paper until someone uses it to prop up support for shit like white supremacy and trickle down economics. Not all opinions are equally informed, or equally valid.

  Marxism, say, works far worse that trickle-down, but is far more welcome in SV. Or is it the right kind of diversity?

    You seem to be distracted. To return to the central point, not all opinion is equally informed or equally valid.

      Indeed. Which is why I provided an exampe of one that is both far more nefarious than anything I have ever heard from Thiel, responsible for deaths of tens ofd millions of people, and at the same time being rather welcome in SV.

        McCarthyist talking points on body counts? 45,000 Americans die annually from preventable illness due to lack of access to healthcare. ~200,000 Americans die annually from poverty-related causes. Meanwhile the US military and CIA are responsible for ~30 million deaths worldwide since WWII. Assuming the McCarthyite propaganda around Holodomor is accurate, it pales in comparison.

        > McCarthyite propaganda around Holodomor I am not sure if this even should be dignified with a reply. Leftist talking points about "access to healthcare" only work on those who have no idea or first-hand experience with healthcare in countries that attempted to build that workers' paradise.

  > Diversity of opinion What other type of diversity is there? Any other kind is simply superficial and irrelevant. > Not all opinions are equally informed, or equally valid A trite point used to justify intolerance. No opinions should be censored.
