Also, remember: the ratings, themselves, have different meanings to different K-means clusters.
This insane drive to change the meanings of words (eg. every traditionally conservative leaning person is now a Nazi, and everyone proud of their unique cultural heritage is now a Racist, so long as they are also white) is no problem!
A member of a brittle, sensitive, easily-triggered group will quickly find themselves isolated and hearing only the few people who almost exactly match their identical beliefs. And, even those won't last long (just until the first imagined slight or use of the wrong adjective).
This, too, is instructive. Coddling a lack of resilience is not helpful to someone -- but, whatever. Fill your boots! If it works for you, have a blast with your two currently-acceptable friends! ;)
But seriously, the current Kristallnacht purge of social media is the best thing that could happen, in my opinion. It'll force a Cambrian explosion of new platforms that more capably handle differences of belief and tolerance!

- pjkundert 6y agoWho's that you're referring to? I don't agree with any "supremacy", let alone "white". So, are you saying that being brittle, sensitive and easily-triggered is a viable life strategy, and should be supported at all costs?
- DanBC 6y agoI'm saying you're being brittle, sensitive, and easily triggered, and that maybe you need to stop supporting white supremacists. Also, you should probably read up on Kristallnacht before clumsily using it in metaphors.

This is a strawman, and is generally unhelpful to a good-faith discussion of politics, speech, and moderation.
