You are making this into a partisan issue when it's not.
One side is detached from reality and they happen to have the same political allegiance. Doesn't give any more merit to their claims.
- im3w1l 6y agoBoth sides are spreading misinformation, but only one side faces pushback.
- chillwaves 6y agoTell me the other side's misinfo. And the thing is, the reality of the situation is so apparent that I don't even have to specify which side I am talking about!
- im3w1l 6y agoThe big foundational lie is that there are no biological differences. This is demonstrably false, but you will not see it, or any of it's many corollaries censored.
- pashamur 6y ago> The big foundational lie is that there are no biological differences. This is demonstrably false, but you will not see it, or any of it's many corollaries censored. People right of center tend to overestimate how much biological differences matter (versus societal forces), people on the left tend to underestimate it. That's been true for a long time. I don't think either point of view is particularly censored though. We're talking about censoring outright lies (the kind that the Putin government puts out, say)
- im3w1l 6y agoI could just as well say "People on the right tend to overestimate how much voting fraud there was and people on the left tend to underestimate it."
- chillwaves 6y agoYes, but that would basically be a lie by degree. And what exactly are you talking about? The women can't do math as well as men? Please do share. Were you referring to gender or race? Because racism (and ideas of racial supremacy) is not not rooted in science. That would be another right wing conspiracy theory. It's really hard to have a discussion when the examples you use are so vague.
