Why do you think their opinions don't coincide with mine? I support the extreme left party in my nation and I vote. I'm also open minded enough to follow news from the left and the right so I can attempt to understand all viewpoints as I feel democracy relies on having many different views to bring balance. When I look at the right wing news I actually see some of the pain that racial slurs like Karen have on real people. When you watch the both sides of the news you realise that there is racist, horrible behaviour occuring on both sides. I do see a huge imbalance in social power though. I believe that stacking committees with extreme left views will end up harmful due to few checks and balances. I know about racial history in my country. Some of my black ancestors were taken from their families as babies to be raised proper by whites, google "Australian Stolen Generation" if you want to read more. That's the power language like N* had. What I don't want is for my children to be attacked because of their white skin due to the power of words in the modern world. Have a look at the post I made 20 minutes ago if you want to see a link that shows the power of Karen and the pain it can cause people.

> Why do you think their opinions don't coincide with mine? You used scare quotes, my dude. Furthermore, you suggested that: > If they attempted to fill those slots with centrists then they'd be decryed for not using the "real experts" or something similar. You're suggesting conspiracy. > What I don't want is for my children to be attacked because of their white skin due to the power of words in the modern world. They're not attacking Karens because they're white. They're attacking Karens because a lot of people have worked dogshit retail jobs where they've been accosted by people aggrieved over the most inconsequential things imaginable. If that's what you associate with having white skin, then you're harboring racist beliefs.
