If the Internet is making it easier to be unpleasant, then that's great. I don't think we could have the kind of discussion that we are having as a result of George Floyd's killing if we insisted on being pleasant. The United States was founded by unpleasant and inflammatory people.
- concordDance 6y agoWe could do without that kind of "discussion". I've mostly just seens people shouting at each other (or preaching to their choirs) about that here on the internet. Lots of sharing of little anecdotal stories and selective stats with lots of cancellations and insults hurled. Can you imagine a "the problem is black culture" right wing conservative trying to have a civil discussion with a BLM protestor in the current climate?
- pasquinelli 6y agothey used to do that sort of thing on jerry springer. actually, now i think of it, oprah did it too. how the hell else can a conversation between those two go productively? ever? unless by discussion you mean ordering food or some necessary social intercourse, which does in fact still happen even to this very day.
