Thank you for doing this, and I hope others follow your example.
It's really easy to be agreeable with platitudes. The real world is a complicated and messy place, and asking for specifics helps to ground the conversation in reality.
- plagiarist 3y agoSeriously. I absolutely did not expect someone on this website to lead with "I cannot say black [people] are mentally inferior" as an example of how they are being censored. Usually they reserve that for more private channels, like after they've gotten someone to move to Telegram.
- LexiMax 3y agoThe idea is not for people with undesirable opinions to "out" themselves, it's more for the onlookers to realize that platitudes are merely nice-sounding soundbites. The real world is complicated, and necessitates nuance, caveats and exceptions, and there's really no better example than watching a conversation unfold about said specifics.
